Star Wars Special Editions

***CaptHayfever*** · 08-18-2009, 08:53 PM

I just watched the SE Original Trilogy over the last few days. It was my first time seeing SE Empire & Return.
All in all, there were only a few changes I really didn't like:

1) [Obviously] Greedo shooting first in A New Hope
2) The Palpatine-has-to-tell-Vader-things-he-should-already-know moments (one each in Empire & Return)
3) The song at Jabba's place in Return.
4) The screen pans of Coruscant & Naboo in Return, since neither planet appeared in the trilogy at all
5) [Obviously] A terrible actor being pasted over a good actor in a movie that was made when the former was 3 years old.

The other stuff was either unnoticeable or no big deal. And yes, I realize I may be the only man alive who likes the Mos Eisley scene with Jabba.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^ I didn't mind the Mos Eisley scene after they did the second SE, and made Jabba look less like a CGI turd. I also really liked the new ending, as opposed to "Yub-Nub." Everything else was basically as you said.

I think I made a thread about this before...
