I'm definitely not trying to say the SE's are better or anything. I just meant that their existence doesn't bother me. It's fun to look at them once and a while. I'm just bothered that the OOT isn't available alongside them. And the SE's are by far worse than the OOT, but I like some aspects of them and can see how some may prefer them.

I agree and have said much of what you say here. The only part I'd debate here is that the SE's are 'worse' than the OOT. Well that sorta goes back to letting nostalgia affect our opinions. To people who grew up on OOT, then yeah the SE's are not good. To those who grew up on SE's, then the originals are probably worse. The reality is no one is every going to have a single mutual opinion on one version of these films and a lot of that has to do with how people are introduced to them. So if future generations are only gonna get the SE's then they'll probably prefer those. Are OOT fans like myself gonna be happy about this?? Of course not and also its misleading. Future or even current generations will watch the original trilogy under the impression its the original versions and represent the state of visual and technical effects of that period when the reality is its been tampered with to include updated effects from 20 years later and onward.
