Star Wars Unaltered!
It's about bloody time! The special editions were a cool exercise in CGI compositing, and it was great to see the trilogy on the big screen (best valentines day date ever, back in the day), but I strongly prefer the original trilogy as it first appeared. The added elements were mostly just distracting, and now everything that blows up in the SW universe has that weird ring effect. Also, the second image in the article clearly shows Han shooting Greedo because he had it coming, not in self-defense because Greedo couldn't draw a bead on a seated target over the space of a table. For that, I'd like to thank Kevin Smith, who gave us the phrase "that's the worst idea since Greedo shoots first." Gerry said this would never happen. :)

Thanks to Michael for the link.
