I don't know why people give the remastered versions crap. (Off-Topic)

With the exception of the song and dance number in Return and the added Jabba scene in the original, I think everything they did improved the movies, and it's not close. Simple things, like having Leia move while walking around in the window of Cloud City where before it was just a still shot, or adding in great atmosphere where before there were just corridors there. It's all great, IMO. Except, again, those two aforementioned exceptions.

I saw the movies first as the originals, and my parents taped them from TV. When the remastered versions came out in theaters, I saw those too. I have the original versions, the 1997 versions, and the 2000s versions. Taken as a whole, I think the 1997 editions are the best. If it was me, I'd do theatrical Star Wars (because of the Jabba scene), 1997 Empire and 1997 Return. Easy.
