I don't.

I appreciate that Alderaan took the time to address every reply point-by-point with a reasoned, coherent, and otherwise concise argument for his position.

 Thanks, AntcuFaalb. It's nice to see people can still disagree civilly on the internet these days.

If you did a mashup of every comment that went "I think they should release the OOT but still including these certain Special Edition changes"

I'm aware of that argument, and how many tiny changes there have been made throughout the years. It's hard to keep track of them all. That's why I suggested to start over, just start from scratch and not factor the SEs into the picture at all. Just relegate them to their own product, Lucas's cut, which is what they are. Anyone who wants the SE can have it, it's already out there.

For the rest of us -- the majority of SW fans -- Disney could:

1) restore the OOT

2) from that, modernize the vfx

And whoever is in charge of the project would be making the final call on what gets altered, but if they are smart they would just clean up the picture, fix the sabers, things like that.

rather than my experiences with other properly-restored films of the same era, or because Lucas said so", you'd get something a lot more concise.

I think watching Star Wars is a little different than watching something like The Godfather, don't you think?
