One could argue for one's own perception of what the movie should seem to be to oneself, for one, when I saw the OOT, it was always in 4:3 pan/scan (except for the opening rollup and credits of ANH, which were letterboxed). I actually never saw Star Wars in any other format until the SE (and then, only once, until I downloaded Dr. Gonzo's caps). The OOT I remember is in 4:3, not 2.35:1. We may not all remember the same OOT, but the differences are minimal - unlike the differences from the 1997 and 2004 versions.

To me, fixing existing effect shots is well and good - making new effect shots is bad. And I don't care so much if I can only see Star Wars in 4:3, because until a few months ago, I had only seen ANHSE once, and ROTJSE once, in any other format.
