Sash is still backwards
Lando's sash is still backwards in one shot in Jedi when he is preparing to take the Falcon into battle. Why didn't Lucas redo the Stormtroopers's voices as well?

A Beautiful Finishing Touch On A Major Cultural Influence
This trilogy addition highlights a major step in science fiction movie production. George Lucas's genius vision has allowed all of us to experience the rich and wonderful ideas that only a true visionary could have originated. A genius is defined as someone who changes the course of human history and culture, and George Lucas does exactly that. Unfortunately, George Lucas's vision was not able to be completely fulfilled due to lack of technology when the originals were first created. He always felt his movies needed the finishing touch that CGI allows, and I think it's amazing how he has incorporated that into his movies.

Star Wars is meant to bring out the inner child in all of us, and I'm sure that George Lucas felt that that feeling was tampered with when the plot was changed so that Han Solo shot a concenrated beam of light through Greedo's head, unprovoked. Adding the initial Greedo shot gives a need for Han Solo to defend himself, and makes his character seem more virtuous.

Lucas meant for his movies to be timeless, and not brutally criticized for the newly added special effects. When you think about it, plot and character developement are what makes or breaks a movie. They are the two main factors that make Star Wars a cultural icon. The special effects also play a lesser, but still important role. Lucas propelled special effects to their max, in the originals, but they never reached the complexity he wished. With the new tools now available to him, he was able to put in the intricacies and detail that he always envisioned. The older critics need to get over their obsession with the original versions of star wars, because they are not Lucas's initial vision. They are merely a "rough draft" eclipsed by the special editions now available.

I'm sorry that the original generation of Star Wars fans were not able to experience CGI initially. They need to allow the new generation of Star Wars fans to fully enjoy Lucas's full vision.

Star Wars Is Still A Legacy
The main part of the movie is the plot. Most everyone LOVES Star Wars, so I don't see what the big deal is with everyone rating low, just because they are being babies about the special effects and CGI. I don't see how it can bother you that much, that you don't like the movie anymore. I think the special effects actually add to the persuasion and charisma of the movie, and a new generation of fans will grow because of it. If you are an "original" star wars fan, as most people are claiming to be, you will stick with Lucas and the new changes, and not be a fair weather friend, as most of the critiquers are.
