: That's why... not Star Wars as a film... but STAR WARS as a franchise, Star Wars as a lot of Jedi, a lot of Episode One and all the Special Edition extras... StarWars sucks.
the special editions rule because they add to the visual while touching nothing else (well, barring the whole "greedo shooting first" thing which changes the story)... which seems to be in line with what yr saying.
i think it would be wonderful if all film makers were able to go back and clean up things that the technology they used to do certain things had improved... within limits, of course.
i betcha the Harry Potter folks are chomping at the bit to have another shot at those EMBARRASSING clay models they used (for the record, i really liked harry potter, but cringed at most of the action effects... and the edge for rickman's hair piece was entirely too noticeable in at least one scene)
