i know in the grand scheme of life, this isn't that important, but good god is it annoying...
does everyone understand the extent to which he ruimed these? from amazon:
"What's Been Changed?
The rumors are true: Lucas made more changes to the films for their DVD debut. Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker) has been added to a scene in Jedi, Ian McDiarmid (the Emperor) replaces Clive Revill with slightly revised lines in Empire, Temuera Morrison has rerecorded Boba Fett's minimal dialogue, and some other small details have been altered. Yes, these changes mean that the Star Wars films are no longer the ones you saw 20 years ago, but these brief changes hardly affect the films, and they do make sense in the overall continuity of the two trilogies. It's not like a digitized Ewan McGregor has replaced Alec Guiness's scenes, and the infamous changes made for the 1997 special-edition versions were much more intrusive (of course, those are in the DVD versions as well).
OK OK,yes these are the special editions and people have been complaining about the "New Coke" syndrome since 1997. Yes I was appauled that Greedo shot first. In this version he shoots at the same time. Lucas! How about him not shooting at all!? Han Solo is a pirate at this point with a price on his head. He doesn't have to have the heroic "never shoot a guy in the back" way of thinking. Other changes for the DVD version was Obi-Wan's Krytt Dragon call used to scare away the Sand People was altered. The Jabba scene was improved. He looks more life like and not like he belongs in a Playstation game.
In Empire they changed a few more things... Why did they have to change Boba Fett's voice? It didn't really detract from anythin but when you've seen the movie as many times as I have you notice right away. They changed the image and voice of the Emperor. This was an improvement that evryone pretty much saw coming as we're all trying to follow Lucas' insanity. The worst change in this film for me was the one he did back in 1997. He changed Vaders dialogue near the end of the film. The part when Vader leaving Bespin after not bringing in Luke is surrounded by his commanders and troops walking to his shuttle. Im the original he barks out 3 words and scared his men, "BRING MY SHUTTLE." The mood was perfect, his men looked scared, and you knew Vader was pissed! In the SE version he said something completely different that did not at all show that same anger. "Inform the commander on my Star Destroyer to prepare for my arrival!" WHAT??? 1. He didn't sound pissed. 2. He didn't sound at all menacing. 3. "Bring my shuttle" would have worked with the new shuttle sequence just as well untouched. 4. James Earl jones was now 17 years older when he redid that dialogue and it sounded like it.
Return of the Jedi: Well, I wouldn't have cried if he did away with the Ewoks. LOL The Sy Snoodles animation made me feel like I was watching "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." But since Lucas hated the original scene I knew that was coming. The added look for the Sarlaac Pit was unnecessary IMO. I liked the added celebrations of the different cities at the end but changing the Ewok song was lame. And the Hayden Christiansen thing at the end was just obscene. Why change the original image of Anakin Skywalker? He died at that age (in that stage in his life) so his image should be of the same age/appearence right? "
George Lucas, you bastard, be cursed!
You ruin it when Greedo shoots first!
Fuck JarJar Binks,
Christensen stinks,
May your nuts get infected and burst.
