I had an idea similar to re-filming. You would keep the actors and sequences the same, but you would take everything else (like battle scenes. long shots, and scenery) and re-make them with modern technology. Not just clean it up, but completely modernize it. Imagine the Battle of Endor with the same tech as Episode III. You like?

I think that would clash horribly. Especially the parts where the actors are part of the battle scenes.

I think they mean the space battles

parts where such stuff can be done with that problem

Even still. A shot of Han in the cockpit of the Falcon from OT, and then a shot of the re-vamped Falcon blasting around in space. Doesn't fit in my mind's eye.

Agreed, most of the OT SFX's are still quite awesom and doesn't need to be fucked with. Sure, some of ANH got revamped in the SE and it's not so bad, but there is nothing wrong with ESB and RotJ space battles.

I was going to say I'd convert my VHS copies of the original SW to mpegs but then realised even my VHS collection is Special Edition.. I'm not sure I've still got my originals that I taped off TV years ago.. OMFG I might not have the originals!

I'm off to look for some razor blades...

Never fear, many folks have already done the work for you and converted the laserdiscs to dvd...

oh? Well my next question is obvious
