I wish that they re-do the original star trek with modern graphic special effects. Modify the back ground using the ideas from the later movies to make the originals more realistic. Just a pipe dream but didn’t they do that for the original Starwars?

Yes, they were very restrained in updating the interior shots when they did the digitally remastered episodes a few years ago. Mostly some close-ups of instruments were tweaked - like the digital chronometer changed to look like LCDs instead of gear-driven drums with digits, (had to have been originally based on an auto odometer of the '60s).

A full-blown refurbishment of the entire series would be prohibitively expensive - but it'd be interesting to let various FX studios compete by updating certain space-battle episodes, such as "Balance of Terror" or "Elaan of Troyius".
