"The story, music and characters were great, but the technology is dated." With SW:R the narrative, characters and music are still there, but the visuals have been updated. I don't see why this shouldn't be a replacement from an objective standpoint.

Because Revisited does more than just update the visuals and fix continuity errors. It introduced new music(Duel of the Fates), re-edited scenes into a different order(Ben's hut) and made other questionable changes like the laser needle.

I love Revisited and can't wait for ESB:R myself but they will never supplant the OUT. Why? Because it's not just a new coat of paint, it's a different car altogether.
