I am probably opening a can of worms by asking this but, why the hell do we people want to make ESB more like the prequels anyway?

Probably because the movie industry managed to fool a lot of people into believing that flashy and over-saturated pictures were more meaningful to a movie's quality than a deep story and convincing characters.

Well, if you were looking at it that way, then this whole exercise would be kind of meaningless though, wouldn't it? You could as well just watch a VHS of the original version - the story and characters would still be the same.

I see what you mean. However the point of this exercise, as you say is not to make the OT look more flashy or over-saturated. As far as I can tell it's about improving it, restoring it and erasing some awful changes introduced by the SE.

Also, I've always enjoyed watching my VHS of the OT. I never got bored watching them. Make me watch one of the PT movies however, I can't promise I won't skip some scenes or just simply press 'stop'.
