Like a lot of people here, I am excited for the new Ultimate Edition DVD with 4 different versions of the film!

However, I was reading on wikipedia that for the new Final Cut, the "special effects were updated and cleaned"

Does anyone know what this means? Did they go back and "re-touch" effects with computers a la Star wars? If so, that would be dissapointing seeing as the film's effects is one of its highlights. Updating them like that only kills the historical aspect of the film's technical achievements.

What’s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.

The new release will have all the other versions included, though. So I would argue that the historical aspect is pretty much covered.

Don't you call me a mindless philosopher...!

I think most people are OK with the cleaning up of existing effects (removing matte lines, etc.) à la the Indiana Jones DVDs.

It's when the original effects are replaced with CGI that people start to get upset.
