I'm pleased to hear that the original films will be re-released. I always thought the original Star Wars film was great, but once it had been tampered with, I found it unwatchable. Every change that I can detect actually makes the film worse. I'm pretty sure there's a scene where a stormtrooper rides a desert animal up a hill, but he's sitting on the animal leaning backward. I'm not a horse rider, but I'm pretty sure you're supposed to lean forward. Doesn't Lucas know how to ride a horse? I thought he worked on a ranch.
