I believe it would depend what constitutes replacing their work. Is re compositing changing it in the same way that replacing an X-wing with a CGI version is? I'd say no myself as it's something I firmly believe any ILM employee would have wanted to do if he had the tech at the time, but It sound about right if you consider that as changing it.

Of course no self-respecting effects technician would deliberately use inferior tech - the point is that it was the very best possible at the time, and alterations (even digital recomposites) misrepresent those incredible achievements.

I honestly didn't care much about the differences, and for the most part, I still don't believe they change the films, though I love that you guys here are able to compensate for LucasFilm not giving options to those who don't think the same way as I do.

With all due respect, you don't seem particularly well qualified to talk about the history of ILM when you profess to have so little interest in that history...
