Duration and effect on the story are the prime considerations when looking at these things, otherwise Lucas could just re-film the entire trilogy and state he only made ONE small change.

P.S., just for the record, I COULDN'T CARE LESS abut Lucas updating the visual effects in the EXISTING FOOTAGE of the Original Trilogy. Clear? It's the NEW FOOTAGE, INSERTED FX, and BLATANT STORY CHANGES that bother me.

Clear?

That scene was always meant to be there. They didn't have the time or money to create the stop motion puppet. Thats how it was orginally filmed and scripted. There are no real story changes. Its the same story I have always loved.
