Well to some people like myself and others who grew up in the 80s and 90s, “Episode IV A New Hope” is as much a part of Star Wars as any of the original effects. You need to remember for us, that’s the first and only way we saw Star Wars until 2006 when the GOUT was released. It may not be technically original to the film, but it’s attached to our memories of the original film. I have to be honest, it feels kind of weird to not have it there when I watch Harmy’s Despecialized. I still usually prefer to watch it the way it originally was, but I understand the guy’s request and I don’t think it’s insulting to Harmy’s work because Harmy’s work is meant to recreate the experience of watching Star Wars as originally seen. Well to those of us who grew up then, that IS how we originally saw it. This is part of the reason why I’m trying so hard to recreate the 1981 crawl and pan-down for my blu ray project. To some people it’s annoying, to others, it’s a part of the Star Wars experience.
