If they only made the colors of the sabers consistent, while keeping the original look of the compositing, I wouldn't be too upset - but then, they were far more consistent in the original, then they are in either the DVD or BD versions.

And I would outright refuse to buy that crap, if the erased they matte-lines.

Did you buy Raiders of the Lost Ark on DVD? They removed some kind of connecting rod guiding the giant rock at the beginning from behind Harrison Ford on the DVD. I for one am not bothered by erasing matte-lines. I know that they're a part of the films and a product of the time they were made, but for me I personally draw the line at changing the effects all-together. If it's the same shot, just without matte-lines, I'm not going to boycott or anything, but remember that doesn't mean I want them to remove the matte-lines, I'm just not going to be angry if they do. Then again, I'd be pretty annoyed if they changed R2 to blue when he's in space so I guess it's a really slippery slope. I'm just willing to except any decent looking OUT release at this point. Honestly though, I'd be surprised if they risk doing any changes to a hypothetical OUT release, especially if the SE's are still available.
