What's wrong with releasing the untinkered with versions?

People complain that Jabba in ANH looks awful, which he did. Now it is fixed.


Doesn't change the fact that it's still a worthless, redundant scene that his own wife cut. He still looks awful too.

People complan that after all the CGI Sy Snooldes crap, that they never fixed the Rancor scene. Now they have.


Something that should have been a priority the first time through. The CGI Sy Snootles crap is still there.

If people hate the SE because it looks too-much like a carftoon, then why hate it MORE when they fix that?


I hate the SE's because they were pointless, derivative, superfluous, and half-assed. They changed good scenes and added bad ones. The CGI work was sub-par by company standards. The celebration scene went against canon, and it made classic films into technological testbeds. It's not a matter of hating it more with more changes, its a matter of what remains, and why its there. Its a matter of saying, "why didn't they do that in the first place". Where does it end? When Lucas remakes them from scratch? The SE with more changes, even if they are improvements, are still a case of pretty paint on ugly walls.
