they'd just go in digitally and smooth it all over, that would be my guess - like say the Death Star blowing up at the end of Star Wars...

: Oh, come now! Hauptmann Vogel (or whatever his rank was) standing up and shaking his fist at the 'Hindenburg' as it floats away, the Tiger Moth vs. Messerschmitt fight and the ridiculous toy tank going over the edge of the 8-ft.-high dry creek bank, all in Last Crusade, don't all need a little help to look less cheesy? What I wonder is how they'll actually get it accomplished, if at all. Would they just have to rotoscope away those black matte lines, or pretty much go back to the originally-shot effects footage (i.e., before it was composited in the optical printer) and start over from scratch with just the live-action elements? I for one don't care if they clean them up or not, except that better effects on the DVD's might mean better sales for Lucas, et al, with today's audiences, used to a different standard in special effects.
