It's been a while since I watched Star Wars....so I watched Harmy's excellent Despecialized work, I must say I was still very impressed with the movie, the original despecialized elements looked great.

The only thing that did jump out at me was the wobbly sets on the Death Star,....they really did spoil the experience for me.....enough for me to post this.

The fast door that Luke shuts as he entered the hanger control room....you can see that it bounces or settles weirdly as though it was made of plywood.

The Trash compactor scene looks off because the walls move in non-mechanically, you can tell that theres a group of guys pushing the walls in....

....anyway.....Seasons Greatings

 This isn't watching with a critical eye- 

That is pure nitpicking.

By critical eye I thought you meant plot-holes or flaws or things in the story that don't make sense.

Anyone can watch a film and pick apart the little visual flaws. If we judged films by all the things that look fake, Star Wars would be on the bottom 100.

The reason people like it (or did back then anyway) is because of the memorable characters and well-paced story.

What I'm saying is, bad effects or flimsy sets shouldn't ruin an experience for you.
