No that it's all that important, because we all know what he'll say http://thedigitalbits.com/#mytwocents

“What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.”

Since I don't feel like starting a new thread just to ask a question, I'll ask it here.

I need some clearing up on a certain subject. I keep reading here and there about how Lucas apparently did some fx cleanup work to the OT for one of the early 90's home video releases, totally prior to the special edition. Is this true? Are people possible confusing this with the THX remastering that was done for the '93 LD?

I already know about the various sound remixes thanks to davisdvd's home video timeline, but I keep reading this story about pre-SE changes to the actual picture on message boards and the like.

I think this is referring to the THX release cleanup (which was ultimately done as a preparation for the special editions). This cleanup also made way for mistakes like white tie fighter laser blasts in the pursuit of the falcon in ESB. So sloppyness when it comes to OT treatment has quite a tradition by now.
