MeBeJedi are you going to release your set unedited? Because that is not preserving the theatrical version. I know you might say that the changes make it better, or are "only small" - but all in all it's the same thing Lucas did.
I take the line of the original Special edition from 97 to some extent. anything done to fix slightly dodgy fx shots that were originally missed on the film due to release pressures is okay, and by that I mean
restoring the close the blast doors line
restoring the 3po line in the control room
keeping all the digitally recomposited space battle shots but not the new CG shots. after all, the recomping fixes original matte lines.
ditch extended mos eisley cos it's shit
ditch jabba scene cos it makes a nonsense of the greedo scene earlier
original greedo please because that is a character contextural change.
also for example, in empire, keeping all of the digitally recomp'ed snow battle as that cured matte lines.
so, only keep stuff that fixes but does not change original movie.
now, the more conjectural, the new matte shot of ben's house, the beefed up skyline from the canyon, the new jawa wipe. bit torn here. they are better but is it in keeping with the movie?
the new matte for ben's house is a damn site better than the shot used in the OT which, like the crap mos eisley approach shot I think was done last second as an establishing shot.
the jawa sandcrawler I couldn't care less about because it does nothing new over the original and the new skyline for the canyon is more a color correction than anything else so I think in this area, I would accept that. however, by the same token in Jedi, I would not accept the herd of bantha before Jabba's sail barge because it doesn't need to be there. it's a modern movie thing to have a longer scenic establishing shot and the rest of the trilogy does not have them so therefore it's a frivolous addition, same goes for the Vader shuttle thing at the end of empire and the added shots of the Wampa. Kersh did a bang up old style movie job with the wampa, and the old adage less is more applies here very well. we don't need to see the creature to know it's bloody big and scary.
