Updating old films

There are rumours flying about that George Lucas is updating the original Star Wars trilogy. Again. Apparently he's going to add flashbacks from the new films to the old ones and update some effects. (See the attachment.)
So I was just wondering peoples views on this. I think it's great if the films are subtley improved with better effects or maybe reinstating a couple of deleted scenes. I don't like the kind of thing that Steven Spielberg was going to do/ did to ET or the flash back idea.

Beep boop. I'm a bot.

Original trilogy out on DVD in September! Yaaaaaay!
It's the special editions which are being released I'm afraid. The ones where they added Greebo shooting at Han in the cantina to make him more of a straight up hero :rolleyes: .
And the the scene with Jabba, the extended scence with Biggs, etc..., etc...
Why not give the fans the option? They can buy the normal untouched version, the special edition version or now this special edition version Mk II. Or stick all three options on the disc?
The man is clearly a menace!
not THE Phantom Menace
I think he's a perfectionist. He's gone/going back to these movies and touching them up to be the complete article that he wanted to do 20 years ago but because of cash restraints and technology boundaries he couldn't.
But is he going to go back to them again in another 20 years when technology has leapt to another new level?
The new star wars films are rubbish, they don't even compare to the original 3.
I actually like most of the extra bits they added into the revamped Episodes 4-6. I think they enhance the films, and help improve on the vision that Star Wars is. Making it into the film it should've been right from the start.
Mind you, it does bug me the way they try to milk it for every damned penny they can.
If I buy any special edition, then it'll be the one they're bound to bring out once Episode III has been made, and when they make a set of all six films.
I think he would have been far better to hand the story over to an accomplished script writer. Or at least have co-written the films with one. That way it would still be his vision.
As I said in an earlier post, I'm glad the effects and whatnot are being updated. The only added bit I have a problem with is that extra shot from Greebo. It made Han far too much of a goodie.
