According to the Globe, independent researchers claim this result could be explained through slight errors in statistical methods...
Furthermore, it is not so much the use of CG editing itself which is disturbing, but rather how it is used. In the Star Wars: Special Edition, we "purists" feel more than "slight resentment" at certain CG effects because they change more than cosmetics. The altered Han Solo-Greedo scene, for example, revises Han's behavior; and by implication his character, and some of the new Mos Eisley scenes add humor where none existed before. By contrast, the minor changes made in Empire were minor: the Cloud City additions are merely cosmetic back-ground elaborations, and--contrary to the reviewer...

Rather than suffering from overexposure, the symphony is still fresh on a sixth or seventh listen. Its attractively slight orchestration calls for strong individual performances of the sort that the Brandenburg Ensemble was especially prepared to offer. After three second-billings in a row, the group gave an authoritative reading of each of the four movements...

There's no mystery about why this should be so, since a) the art market has run out of new "movements," while b) there has been a slight backlash against the star system of the art world and the excesses of its market, causing a new ripple of pseudo-penitential interest in the anonymous, the amateurish, the "naive" or "incorrupt" artist. Having run out of external primitives, America must find internal ones, and there are plenty to go around...
