No, not at all, of course. My point was that with Ady's changes, which are mainly about visual improvement and adding more realism to the visuals, the story and characters stay the same just as they would with added reflections, so the story and characters being the important thing isn't really a valid argument against tastefully done reflections in this case, because it would be very much in spirit of changes like re-rotoscoping all the laser bolts or adding more asteroids to the asteroid field.

There was a lot more than that done in ANH:R use of deleted scenes and footage from the other films too.

It was actually quite Radical although it remained true to it's roots and is actually my definitive version that I would watch now. It has replace the special edition and the original. I have not forgotten the original but I prefer this version.

You can still expect some radical ideas in ESB:R and just beacuse ADY says he's not doing something or not does not mean that it will not end up being in the edit.

I think he likes to play devils advocate sometimes... And although it will be true to it's roots there will be some radical too. Just think of the glaring issues or faults that Empire has and the new filming that is being done.

I love the radical stuff as long as It feels right and grounded in it's roots bring it on.

as for the reflection and as you say Harmy it's in the spirit of revisited it's a fair suggestion the only thing that bothers me about it is I have never felt that there was a problem with classic storms troopers so I think it's easy to get protective over something like that when as you say It could be a real improvement but as I said my brain does not contemplate visual effects on this level or how it is done and also you can tinker with something like that and get huge backlash if it's not done tastefully or even overdone... If you leave it alone no problem

I think it's different to the examples you give slightly but not totally.
