I can't quite figure out how someone can have "no" interest in the SEs. The movies are, what, 95% the same damn thing? Surely the bits that were changed weren't the only parts you enjoyed?
I'll try and explain.
Imagine a really great meal. Loads of different ingredients wonderfully combined by a great cook. It tastes great.
Now, imagine the same meal, but this time the cook has added too much salt.
Yeah, the meal is 99% the same, and all the parts that I liked are still there, but the change has made the meal inferior to the one I had last time.
And I would have no interest in having that inferior meal again.
Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.
Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.
Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!

This just states it all so beautifully and in no uncertain terms.

Perhaps not, there were quite a few matte lines and background changes, especially through ANH. I would say about 15% of ANH is different, probably 10% for ESB and ROTJ.
