Yes, and the spacecraft as well. The CGI spacecraft FX from season 1
really date it badly.
Maybe George can come in and remaster and re-release it. And digitally
erase season 1 captain and replace him with Sheridan because that makes
sense to him.
And that's another reason why I have not a whole lot of respect for Lucas.
SW (the real SW, the original one) could proudly stand on its own, its FX
were ground-breaking masterpieces, and did not need to be redone. For him
to show he was embarrassed by them just encourages me to be embarrassed by
everything he has ever done.
