I don't agree with the presumption that what was the top of the line for its day and a giant leap ahead of the age of "Forbidden Planet" (where's the clamoring to redo that one where the look is more "dated"?) constitutes an "error".

When I got the DVD set I was disappointed that the effect where not improved at all. and what was done is rubbish showing more errors that ruin the look for the movie.

What I saw for the first time was a quality release that restored the episodes to the brilliance they demonstrated in 1978 and were presented "uncut* in contrast to first the beat-up 16mm prints used in syndication repeats throughout the 1980s and then the cleaned-up but hacked versions from the Sci-Fi Channel, loaded with more extra content than any other TV series of the day has gotten on DVD, which says a lot.

Lucas knows this and has over time reworked his original Star Wars saga keeping it fresh and exciting and is still making money from it.

I again do not accept that premise. If anything, I believe that Lucas's tinkering with SW is generally more a cover for the fact that he hasn't had one fresh idea as a writer/director since SW.
