I get that we may never see an official release of the originals. I can live with that if they just remaster the SE. The current transfer has to be one of the worst I have ever seen of any movie. ANH is particularly bad. I’ve been striving to bring it back to a viewable shape and that is damn hard. The changes I object to most strongly are the ones that break continuity and change the story. The rock in ANH, Greedo shooting at all, the hit or miss windows in Cloud City, the oversize door to Jabba’s Palace and Hayden as Anakin. I don’t mind a lot of the minor changes (in the version I am preparing I’m removing the ones I don’t like) or the additions. I can watch a version like that as long as some care is taken to restore it properly to a viewable color pallet. I don’t like Han looking like a lobster and it has ruined any enjoyment from watching the trilogy to either have the low quality SD GOUT or the miscolored DVD and BR sets. The despecialized editions are a step in the right direction and the scans of the 35mm prints are even closer yet.
