Say what you will, but I've always felt the additions have been nothing but needlessly distracting from what's actually going on. It opens stuff up, sure, but the shortsightedness of Lucas was in thinking that superfluous stuff happening in the environment was as important as the plight of the main characters. Hell, that shit outside is sharper and more drawing of the eye than what is happening up close; THAT is just a major movie-making mistake.
@mfm Do you mean marks like what appears below the "D" in "DVD" on the GOUT? If so, that's print damage that just needs to go... (and Harmy replaced it with actual film scans, so you can't ask for much more definitive than that)
