A New Hope Remastered Edition

Does A New Hope need (another) special edition? Not with the added CGI but I talk about restoring a film a bit and MAYBE editing Leia's first encounter with Vader to match Rogue One?

A New Hope is generally great Star Wars movie but it needs colors and sound fixed. It look and sound too 70s now. While it was a masterpiece when this movie came out in 1977 with outstanding special effects back then, the graphics look weird now. Especially when you look this movie with higher quality than 720 or 1080p.

And it would be great if Lucasfilm does a special editition between Rogue One and A New Hope, by combining two movies into one - by removing R1's ending and ANH's opening crawl and replacing them with transition or planet introduction.

No.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Ersos added to the force ghosts at the end of RotJ

lolwut? That doesn't even make any sense....

I don't hold to that idea either. It would seem kind of silly, or at least extremely out of place (Luke never saw or knew either Galen or Jyn).

However, the novel does say that the moment she died, Jyn became one with the Force. 

Why in the world would the Ersos be added as force ghosts? They weren't even Jedi.

The CGI in the special editions of the original Star Wars trilogy most definitely needs to be updated. Hell even the CGI in the prequel trilogy needs to be updated as well.

editing Leia's first encounter with Vader to match Rogue One?

It already does.

They could add one or two lines for Vader: "Don't lie to me. I literally just saw you how your ship escaped after I slayed your rebels.

But as for ANH generally, I didn't talk about all that CGI stuff added in later editions. I talked about restoration of the movie by fixing the color and sound. I don't know how it looks with higher than 1080p quality but even with 720p the picture looks weird and the sound sounds too 1970s.

"Don't lie to me. I literally just saw you how your ship escaped after I slayed your rebels.

This is picking nits to the Nth degree. Vader told Leia not to act surprised that he was there and that he knew she wasn't on a "mercy mission." It was implied, even 38 years ago, that Vader knew exactly what he was looking for and that it was on the Corvette.

Having Vader re-looped with new, exactly perfectly matchy-matchy expository lines is borderline insanity. There's no need for any of that. It fits just fine.

Look up the Despecialized Edition.
