I wouldn't loose any sleep over the original crawl not being there either (although I'd prefer it being included via seamless branching, which, as Fang Zei said, seem most likely).

The matte-lines being removed on the other hand would be an absolute travesty - the optical compositing was an inherent and very important part of the effects.

This is a great article, which TServo2049 just posted in another thread. It's about the advances in optical compositing made by ILM for the SW Trilogy - it is perfect to illustrate the point I was always trying to make about how digital recompositing destroys the artistic integrity of the FX shots, even if it uses the same elements, because the method and quality of the optical compositing was a huge part of the original effects.
