This is an idea I came up with years ago but never got a chance to post anywhere. Since you guys seem to love the originals as much as I do, I will post it here. I am of the believe that the original trilogy is perfect as it is and should be made avaliable it its original form, meaning all that episode 4-6 stuff in the crawl should be gone as well. However, if I was super rich and didn't have any other movies to make, I might be tempted to update Star Wars for a new generation. However, unlike George Lucas, I wouldn't use the update to put in CGI effects which do not match with the original and are distracting. Instead I would use the opportunity to see what I can do to fix things that haven't aged well. With millions of dollars at my disposal, I could afford to do things the old fashion way instead of just relying on new technology. All the old model builders, puppeteers, and matte painters could be brought back and have their work honored, not replaced. Anything added must look like it was originally there. It would be a challenge but a fun one. If there are more deleted scenes that enhance the story they go back in as well. Small errors like matte lines would be removed digitally. They really need fixing with the Rancor fight. The rods in the lightsabers would also be removed but I would not tamper with their color or anything like that.

The only important things that were live action in the Special Edition were the Wampa, which removed the scene's tension, and the new cantina aliens, which were pointless and didn't add anything to the scene. The Dewbacks which didn't move properly in the background and the one next to the cantina could be erased digitally and replaced with really cool animatronic puppets which look and act real. The Tauntauns and the original Sarlacc Pit mouth moving not that stupid beak thing could look better with the same methods. The same applies to the new spaceship shots. Why not build models that are identical to the old ones and copy their movements. This would be good for the trench run, escaping from Tatooine, the Slave 1 chasing the Millenium Falcon, entering Cloud City, and the fight above Endor. I don't mind the Yavin 4 or the Cloud City background updates because they look really good and match with the rest of the movie. That is the kind of thing I would like to see if George Lucas ever starts to care about his integrity again.
