I tend to agree with Eric on this one. It isn't so much Lucas's desire to make the SW movies as seamless as possible, but his tampering with the films in a way that don't add, and arguably subtract from, the source material. Does removing Mr. Shaw and repacing him with Mr. Christiansen really add to ROTJ? There is also something to be said for the fact that it was the unaltered original works that garnered such praise in the first place. One can gild the lilley too much. It's great marketting though, because you know there are fans who will buy a new version of the films just to have the new 2 seconds of footage.
As for me, I'm holding on to my VHS's.....
