Heres to hoping for a semi specialized release with updated cgi...

Not that it makes any difference to me (it's the SE), but it would be nice if they finally got cg Jabba looking right. I actually like the way he looks in the '97 version. Their attempt to redo him to fit with the TPM model only made it look worse.

There are also some pretty huge vfx mistakes still visible in the '04 version, changes I'm assuming weren't fixed for the blu-ray. The big one I'm thinking of is the fleet of ships in the background rolling with the camera during the Endor space battle. They were able to fix mistakes like tie fighters and cloud cars appearing in front of the Falcon instead of behind it. Maybe they couldn't fix the fleet shot because it involved rotating an otherwise static element?
