So I'm curious, when it comes to episodes 4-6, which ones are we rating?

Are we rating the original ones or the remastered ones with the stuff added in because they have very different scores...

Whichever you prefer.

I prefer the remastered versions, to be honest. I'm not blinded by nostalgia to the point of thinking that improved special effects are a bad thing, though I have encountered people holding that opinion.

I don't mind the act of adding things when they're actual improvements, but there are some things that are pretty blasphemous:

  • Things like the ronto walking directly in front of the camera in Tattoine.
  • Han shoots first, not Greedo (and I have an issue with just how poorly it was done in general)
  • The Han talking to Jabba scene was cool, they just did a terrible job of making Han walk behind Jabba.
  • Placing the new Anakin (can't spell his name, don't care) at the end of Jedi instead of the original.
  • Replacing the Yoda puppet with the awful looking CGI
  • The new and improved Cantina scene, bleh

And I'm sure there are other just outrageous things I just don't care to try and remember.  Again, I was fine with them doing things like adding life to Mos Eisley or even updating the look of the lightsaber, but stuff like the above is just terrible.
