Sure it's not perfect. But I say it's still closer to perfect than they ever were before.
But it was perfect before, and didn't need all that B.S. additions to it. If Lucas cleaned up the picture and spruced up some effects, 99% of the fans wouldn't have a problem with the SE. Gomer it is the scenes that just stick out of these classic movies and DIDNT need to be changed. We didn't need Hayden in ROTJ, we didn't need Greedo shooting first, we didn't need Vaders arrival in ESB after leaving Bespin, we didn't need Jedi Rocks, etc. The movies were already great and defined movies even in todays standards, and you only fix something if it is broke, the O-OT was such a success, why **** with it?
I constantly hear SE & PT fans say, "Sure, it isn't perfect....."
Well, for me the O-OT is perfect, and of course that is my opinion, but that is why I love it so much, there is nothing that bothers me where I have to make excuses for. I just feel if you have to trot out the line, 'nothing is perfect' then that tells me you see the same flaws I do.
If Lucas would have just released every DVD version with the O-OT/SE together in the same quality, nobody would have a problem, but the more Lucas tightens his grip on the O-OT and tries to kill it, the more fans will walk away and put their hands up.
So when you say nobody says the OT is perfect, you aren't including yourself in that estimation?
