I don't think canon as far as SE's go is a concern, I don't think anyone is worried about whether or not it is canon that CGI green dinosaurs walk in front of the screen in Star Wars.

What about Boba's voice (affects who plays Boba in spin-offs), galaxy-wide celebrations (effects whether or not the Empire appears in anything set after ROTJ), and Christensen as Anakin's ghost (affects who plays Anakin's ghost in the future)?

I honestly don't think ANYONE (fans or not) would care if they just got the OOT and not the SE.

I would like to see the 97 SEs.

Boba's voice is the only potential issue as far as I can see. The galactic celebration could still be happening off screen in the unaltered version for all we know. As for Anakin's ghost, I highly doubt he'll be written into any future movies. It would also ruin the idea of I-VI as "the tragedy of Darth Vader."

I'd also like to see the '97 SE remastered for blu-ray. It has historical value, it got a wide, record-breaking/setting theatrical release and the prints still play in theaters to this day. I certainly don't prefer it to the OOT, but it was the first time my generation got to see the OT on the big screen and I bet it's still the preferred version for a lot of them. Several of my friends told me how shocked they were (in a bad way) to get to the end of the RotJ dvd and see Hayden Christensen instead of Shaw.
