I think the recomposite of the original shots is an enhancement but the problem with the way the process was carried out was this.

The colors were made different. And this is sometimes better and sometimes for worse.

Composited elements like 2d painted effects like light sabres, engine glows, lasers and shield Flak bursts etc lost their original brightness and became faded possibly because these elements were not recomposited and seperated as they were upon when the film was originally made.

In fact the process that the SE wen't through made the white levels go totally wrong and resulted in fading of a different kind. The colors are not as vivid and altered.

So I think if a recomposite of the Original films is done. it must be done in the correct manner and all the elements need to be seperated that were originally composited not just half of it or what they feel like recompositing.

That is the problem with it, you can't just do half of the recomposites of all the original composited elements.
