I have always said if Lucas would have just changed a few special effects in the OT movies, fans like me would still be on his side.
I only got mad when he started tampering with scenes: Greedo shooting first, deleting Sebastian Shaw from the force ghost, and Jedi Rocks.
Even though I still prefer the OOT versions, I wouldn't have complained as much as I do now, and probably would have just lived with the SE if he just updated effects.
Didn't realize I posted in this thread in October 2005. Oh well, atleast I have been consistent:

Kinda agree with everyone, if it was just effects, I don't have a problem with it. But when it comes to additional scenes, or change/editing a scene, it is insulting, and makes me want O-OT even more. Lucas could have just really updated the effects in the original Star Wars, and slightly touched ESB & ROTJ and we all would have 'lived' with these SE Editions. But again, Lucas has miscalculated his original fanbase.
