The special edition of ANH is tolerable, even though though Obi-Wan's "lightsaber twig" shot is still unfixed and the CGI Jabba doesn't match the puppet Jabba from ROTJ in terms of size. I'm surprised Lucas didn't try to insert CGI versions of Darth Vader and Obi-Wan in order to make the fight longer and more exciting for all the 14 year olds out there.

What I don't like is that he redubbbed Boba Fett (and I'm not even a fan of Boba Fett), replaced the Clive Revill Emperor from ESB with the Ian McDiarmid Emperor (whom I always found to be rather ineffectual, even when I was a kid) and that he replaced the late Sebastian Shaw ghost of Anakin with Hayden Christensen as the ghost of Anakin. This is very disrespectful towards the original actors, which is somewhat ironic considering that the use of Sebastian Shaw could be viewed as disrespectful towards David Prowse, who wore the Darth Vader costume.
