I don't see any more fighters than before.

Lucas' changes should be flagged for review.  Maybe Lucas should be flogged, too.

Now, if he were to go back and release cleaned up, but otherwise unaltered theatrical versions, that would be worthy of my hard-earned dollar.  It may be his work of art, but it's my beloved memory he's soiling.

I dont know how they never fixed the jawas selling the droids in ep 4.  After R5D4 rolls away and blows up you still see him in the background during the side shot of R2 when C3PO is suggesting him to Luke as a good purchase.  A BIG error in my oppinion, WTF.  And is the big door on Jabba's palace and ewok eyelids really neccessary??  Why didnt they add Luke constructing his light saber in the cave back into the movie??  Fans would have appreciated that much more.  Dissapointing....

The only change I actually like was the digital yoda in The Phantom Menace instead of a puppet, fits in better with II and III

Just watched Empire and in the scene where Han and Leia are arguing about him leaving and she says "I'd Rather Kiss A Wookie" and Han says "I can arrange that, he could use a good kiss" the last part "he could use a good kiss" has gone!

The Tie fighters are the same. As far as them just popping up, its actually a flip scene where Lando notices them before the viewer does as the camera is on him, then switches to them. Not exactly a blooper if you watch it. I don't think any of these extra's are really a big difference since the first SE. The only one Im curious about is rumored Qui Gon Jinn's ghost appearing with the others at the end of ROTJ. Which I hate how Hayden was put in considering Anakin actually died old like the others and they should have kept the original.

actually that's the same amount of ties as before. they just digitally made them more defined.

I have altered the scenes of the original trilogy, pray I do not alter them further....

OMG, who gives a flying f**k, George Lucas has made millions out of these films and he will make miilions more out of the losers that buy the blu-ray versions, and yes that includes all you f**ckers who are complaining on this site!!!

My childhood's anus. It is bleeding.

I'm a big fan from childhood and I seriously don't care about Wicket's eyelids, Darth Vader's no no, Jabba's new door or the extra CGI tie-fighters. However, what proves Lucas has completely, utterly and undoubtedly lost the plot is this: http://img41.imageshack.us/img... ... seriously why would anyone, on Earth, spend any time, money or anything whatsoever changing this shot???!!!! What does putting half a rock in front of R2 achieve?? I really don't understand why he would do that.

Someone needs to kill George Lucas so these idiotic changes stop.

Man the only thing that gets me is that all these changes are shoddy as hell. An After Effects designer right out of high school could do better. Just makes me sad this garbage is considered acceptable...

I'm actually not against the extra TIE fighters.  That was one of the things I expected them to address in the special editions: the effects makers talked about how they worked for seven weeks on that one shot-and then when they saw the final footage it was, like, six TIE fighters buzz the Falcon and they were underwhelmed.  I don't mind them tweaking something like that (or the horrible looking explosion when the super Star Destroyer crashes into the Death Star).

But having Vader say 'Noooo!' at the end of Jedi now?  That is just plain awful.  Like: grounds to maybe have Lucas committed for not being of sound mind anymore.  If he has any kids of the backstabbing mindset: he may have just given them the key to their inheritance a little early.  Take notice, young Lucases.  

To me, that Tie Fighter shot looks exactly the same as it ever has, with the exception of the matte lines having been removed... That shot looks damn good in 1080p :)

Everyone get back to coding and stop wasting your day (and my money) on Ewok eyelids and R2-D2's rocks or whatever other BS you turds are obsessing on this week.- your boss

Y'know.... if all the disgruntled fans REALLY wanted to mess with George, they should start a petition declaring that none of 'em will ever buy another Star Wars disk again, unless he finally releases the Holiday Special.... not neccessarily as a way to get the special released, but just to yank his chain for making everyone repurchase everything for blinking Ewoks, a bigger rock, and a "NNNNOOOOO!!!!!!" that every oldster fan could (and probably HAS) supplied themselves to the new films.

How the hell did RD-D2 got in there? Did he use the Force?

It's official: I've decided not to buy these movies. I had preordered them but I'm cancelling the order. LUCAS: LEAVE THOSE POOR MOVIES ALONE!!!

These look like winning entries to the TR contest Come up with the most Ridculous Additions to the new blu-rays. 

Un-fuckin'-believable. 

NOOOOOOOOOOO

The amount of TIEs is still the same. This is from a 1986 VHS trailer, skip to 1:23.

Oh, no, my friend. This is a mistake, a terrible mistake. This is madness. They've gone too far. What if I told you that the Lucasfilm was now under the control of a dark lord of the Sith?

I'd say not blinking is more in the Uncanny Valley than blinking.

At this point, I'm convinced George Lucas will never stop toying with his movies. He's become <godwin>like Leni Riefenstahl, an obsessive editor</godwin>.

How the fuck did R2 even get in there?! That change doesn't even make sense and opens up a new crop of questions!

See? THIS is why I stick to fan edits, because at least most fan edits take away stupid shit like this and don't add anything more than just deleted scenes and doing the basic technical clean-up work Lucasfilm should have done in 2004.

This is some needlessly comprehensive bullshit right here.

So, apparently Sandpeople HATE Frank "yeeAAAEeeesss" Nelson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... love to see some mocking dubs.  Luke should totally let out a Wilhelm scream when falling.

Honestly, I'm thinking the Vader yelling is a hoax, a very funny elaborate hoax. If not, well, it's not a change I relish, nor enjoy. I honestly don't like the Jabba's Palace shot because it just feels too, "My first camera pan", it just doesn't look natural at all. A dug being added in RoTJ makes sense, as long as it's just subtle. The R2 shot confuses me, but it's not much of a big deal for me. Obi Wan's yell just, sounds off. The ties, meh. The Ewok blinking? Adywan's edits had more in A New Hope (A Battle Droid head is subtly added in the Sandcrawler), and nobody gave him grief over it, heck, look at what he's been working on with Yoda in the Empire Strikes Back.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... the mouth and eyes, the mouth is more subtlety moving more, the eyes blink, and small eye correction.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWizFj... link above is two years old, he's probably tweaked it better or redone it....I'll wait until these movies are officially released before I can really make a clear opinion. I have no doubt Lucas has tweaked these movies again but I don't think he'll have touched Empire as much, mainly because that's the most "treasured" of the films. But, I guess we'll see.

My question though, is did they fix that now terrible CG work when Luke, 3PO, R2, and Obi Wan go to Moss Eisley? 

I know this will not be popular here... but I want to know if he's done anything to the first couple of shots of the cantina scene. I've always found it odd how the aliens here grunted or spoke, but their mouths never opened or closed.

Hopefully, Luke's horrible scream when he falls away from Vader in Empire will be absent in this version. It was in the 1997 Special Editions, and removed for the 2004 DVD.

seriously, that door was already fucking huge. making it goddamn gigundous doesn't make me like the movie any more than i already did. what a waste. and did he really think R2 wasn't quite hidden enough. how much did he spend on this bullshit?

I see the problem.  For years we've been assuming that Obiwan was using the call of a dragon to scare the sandpeople away, when in reality Lucas really just wanted them to flee the buggo old man.  It makes sense if you think about it this way.

And what the hell, the space battle in ROTJ is begging for additional scenes (the picture of the B-wings flying away from the exploding Star Destroyer comes to mind) and they just put in a few more TIE's, badly.  Come on.

They've also placed a Dug in Jabba's palace. Same character model as that red-jacketed one in Attack of the Clones.

Not ignoring that this might backfire in a big way, if there's one thing about the original tirology that they could completely replace with CGI in my opinion is the Ewoks..

Me thinks a lot of people getting punked on these "changes"

That dragon call seems way fake, like a dude just going "wrawrrrrrrrrr". I doubt it's real. And I didn't notice any new TIEs in that scene with the death star.

I can't believe that Wicket has eyelids. I guess Return of the Jedi wasn't complete because Wicket didn't blink.

actually, if I remember correctly, Vader shouting 'no' at the end is something that happened at the radio broadcast version of ROTJ

Obi-wan's new scream sounds like a crazy old lady that was edited with some crazy fx. Also, I say No to having Darth Vader say "No" and "Nooo!" to RotJ.

The rest doesn't bother me too much.
