[Some spoliers, you must be cautious]
I just finished the Kenobi series and unexpectedly loved it. I loved that Ewan and Hayden reprised their roles. I loved the final confrontation. I had the hardest time melding Christensen and Vader together after EP3 but that final fight really helped. He truly is Vader. The hatred towards Kenobi and the Jedi is understandable. Kenobi's PTSD is realized and being repulsed at what Anakin became and being a prisoner in his suit was very, very powerful.
Sure, the series had some flaws, but I was able to overlook them.
Saying all that, I would not be opposed if they remade the OT to blend in better with the events of the prequels and these side stories. Us OG's who have had the OT for 40+ years will always have them but connecting the plot dots is finally necessary.
At the very least, even changing dialog in a few key scenes would help. Kenobi acknowledging R2 and C3PO when he rescues Luke. Leia's Hologram message acknowledging her past with Kenobi (saving her from the Inquisitors), Vader and Kenobi's fight scene on the Deathstar (two previous encounters before that from the Kenobi series).
Alec Guinness will always be the original but I really like how Ewan has become Kenobi, especially in his series. Remaking ANH with Ewan would really bring it all home.
