Using TR47, ( or the laser-discs, if you have them ) adjust a key scene to match the 2004 DVDs as best you can - I used the shots of R2 alone in the wilderness - you'll need a little extra contrast and lots of extra colour. Then carry on watching - many of the "flaws" people are complaining about on the new DVDs already exist on the originals - it's just that the heightened contrast & colour is revealing the limitations of the original 1977 film.
So I think the problem isn't that the scene-by-scene adjustments are wrong in the new version, but rather that they weren't done at all - for the most part, it's global tweaks, with the ocasional correction... someone should have gone through with the care and attention that Mike is, but didn't...
...none of which helps with the lame CG & plot changes of course
