Or for that matter, the changes made from the theatrical versions to the special editions. Anyone know? There's gotta be SOME website devoted to this out there somewhere...
You would think Lucas would realize that the whole Greedo shooting first thing was the worst idea ever ... including Jar Jar Binks. Restoring it to the original Han shooting first would have made a lot of fans happy.
Also if he's going to change Anakin's ghost, why not change the scene after he throws the Emporer over the edge and Luke takes off his helmet.

But it seems that a lot of fans don't realize that Greedo *always* fired first...at least according to Lucas. The manner in which the scene was edited originally just didn't make this clear. But I agree, the digital morph effect on Solo's countenance and having Greedo miss by soooo far at point blank range were hackneyed and distasteful.

Ahh, Nimsie... You KNOW I will. But my untrained eyes will nae see many of the more minor alterations. I need a Cliff Notes digest of the changes to help me on my way.
Speaking of which, how about a list of the changes from the theatrical version to the SE?

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 138) on :
I've heard that too Mim, I don't know if it's true or Lucas says so because he doesn't want to revert to the original version. He obviously knows fans hate that alteration, so he gives a reason for it being there with no intention of changing it back even though it'd make almost every Star Wars fan happy.

"But what about Obi-Wan", you cry. And you'd be right. Except that between the time Ben first appears in ANH and dies, we've had over an hour to get to know Guiness as the new/old Kenobi. With Anakin though, kid's are going to go: "who the fuck is that in Vadar's costume? He didn't look like that? What's going on? Wait, no, he's back to looking like he did in that other one. I'm confused. I hate Star Wars. I'm going to go and watch The OC."
Disaster, I think you'll agree.

The first SW movie I saw was TESB. I saw it with my father, who introduced me to the characters. I remember when he first said "And this is Darth Vader", and I thought "What is this 'Darth Vader'? Some kind of satelite?", because, the first time we see Vader in TESB, we see only back of his helmet

As I recall, the first one I saw was RotJ when it was aired on television when I was a kid in Texas. My mom had never let me watch Star Wars before because she thought all the aliens "were weird".
At some point, I rented all the videos.
I also saw all three SE movies in the theaters when they were rereleased while I was in college. We stood in line for hours to see them all on opening night. There was a power outage during The Empire Strikes Back, though, and the movie stopped 5 minutes in. I thought there was going to be a riot and you could see that the theater manager was scared out of his mind.

Heh, I remember being disappointed, because they gave it away. Big two-page shot of Han surrounded by Ewoks in Time Magazine.
I wonder if Marvel Comics was ever able to wrap up their "where in the galaxy is the slab-o-Han" plotline before ROTJ came out. At the time it seemed perfectly natural that Our Heroes would have to scour the galaxy looking for him. Being just a kid, I didn't put two and two together and realise that they knew all along where Boba was going.
Apparently neither did Marvel.

Marian: Actually, if you rewatch the end of "The Empire Strikes Back", Luke is on the medical frigate, talking to Lando and Chewie in the Falcon, briefing them on the rendezvous at Tattoine and instructing them to "wait for the signal". So they had the plans ready for infiltrating Jabba's palace already then. I think Leia and Chewie understood what Boba would do with Han already in the carbonite chamber.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
He says "I'll meet you on Tatoinne." so it's not real secret as to where they're going: the reason why they're going there is not clear (as we never saw Jabba's palace before and the big slug could have lived anywhere).
Posted by Nim (Member # 205) on :
Jabba's presence on Tatooine was established in "A New Hope", as was Solo's being out of favor with him. And in TESB it seemed to be common knowledge that Jabba had put a price on Solo's head.

Jabba's palace is not mentioned in the theatrical ANH thoug nad we were talking about Marvels' silly "where is the slab o' Han" story arc.

Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on :
It's been mentioned before, somewhere, but the name Tatooine wasn't mentioned in the original release of ANH, right? So, going strictly by the movies, when Luke says he'll hook up with them on Tatooine, noone really knew what Tatooine was and it could've been any planet. However, I'm pretty sure that it had been pretty well established in off-camera sources that the desert planet in ANH was Tatooine by the time ESB came out.

Tatooine was well established by the toys though. Every kid knew what the planet's name was.

By the way, after watching the new DVDs I note that while Boba Fett's voice has been redubbed by Temura Morrison of AOTC, the stormtroopers have not. So I, in my infinite wisdom, declare the argument that the troopers during the Civil War are just the clonetroopers from the Clone Wars re-costumed to be null and void.
And the Han-steps-on-Jabba's-tail scene in ANH still looks like crap. And so does the musical number in ROTJ. But what the fuck...
Posted by Reverend (Member # 335) on :
Well the Jabba scene is a definate improvement over the '97 version.
The greatest let down of the DVDs for me is the ending of RotJ, where we see Naboo and that the Gungans are still alive! Why couldn't the Death Star have been demonstrated on that planet?
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
Oh, come on, think it through! 20 years for R&D and full construction of the first Death Star, yet only, what, three for partial completion of the second? No, I think we can make a good case for at least one previous prototype, perhaps even one with the planet-blaster emitter on the equator as depicted in ANH. It would make sense to then test it on Naboo. But obviously it failed. Why? Did whatsisface, Gungan voiced by Brian Blessed, deflect the beam with a shake of his massive jowls? Perhaps. More likely, the prototype was insufficiently shielded against Jar-Jar's annoyingness and self-destructed.
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

I've just bought them and flicked through, and I thought that the Han treading on Jabba's tail bit was much improved. Still not great, but better.
And then, being ultra cool, I looked for the most important change in all the movies...the removal of the English lettering on the tractor beam transmitter. Yes.
Oh, and I looked at that bit where Obi-Wan's lightsaber disappeared (I can't believe they didn't fix that in the SE). And...it still looks rubbish. 10 years and two new versions, and that was the best that they could do? Pah, I say.

I don't feel like going and looking through long lists of alterations, so maybe someone already knows the answer to this: I noticed an external shot of the hangar on Yavin that I didn't recognize. It was a tall stone building with jungle on the sides. Was this new to the DVD, a SE thing, or was it always there?
Posted by Nim (Member # 205) on :
It's always been there. Like a small plaza, right?
And Vader's saber has always been pink in the Obi-faceoff. I haven't watched the new SE:s but I had hoped they'd fixed Obi-Wan's dying saber.

Watched it, Obi's saber-glitch is much better now, less objectionable. They fixed the sounds for Vader's saber too, now it turns on like in ROTJ and that of Darth Maul's, the original TESB-vadersab sounded like it could blow.
For some reason though, Luke's saber is green in the first practice-shot aboard the Falcon in ANH, what gives? It reminded me of seeing Superman's suit become green for some shots of the movie.
I thought Temuera Morrison would be an awful Fett compared to Jeremy Bullock, but I must say his TESB-lines were quite allright, "He's worth a lot to me!".
And they finally fixed Solo's magical vest! In the closeups before his freeze, when he says "I know", they've dyed it white so as to look like his shirt. Nice.
Watching the old trilogy in DVD-format just does further justice to these already fantastic movies, and I'm just not being sentimental. The scenery, stages and buildings of these movies are brilliant, I found myself staring at Cloud City's walls and slide-doors, it's so tight, clean and believable.
As I've grown a lot since last I looked at these movies (ten years ago), I also have a newfound appreciation for the character development, especially Han and Leia's cat and mouse games at Hoth and in space worm. I never noticed the dry humor and sassiness before.

I find it interesting (and by interesting, I mean so in a fairly sad and pathetic manner) than Han's magically appearing vest mistake isn't actually a mistake at all. Apparently, it was a shadow all along that just happened to look like a vest. Although Lucas was apparently sick enough of having it pointed out to him that it was still changed.
The thing that annoys me about the Obi-Wan saber fix was that it seems a bit...half hearted. If they were going to fix it, couldn't they have gone all the way?
Still, the lightsabers do look nicer. Apart from Luke's being all wrong coloured and stuff.

This was the first time Yoda's death got to me, I'm getting old. Also, ROTJ ewok party with the song they added in -97, I've finally gotten accustomed to it so now that gets me too. For some reason it reminds me of Peruvian music.
The Hayden paste job could be better, his head seemed to slide around in the collar somewhat and he doesn't look as happy and "salvationed" as Shaw did, more like "yeah, yeah, I'm goodguy now. *sigh*" I think he was going for the "proud of my son"-look, like he was focusing on Luke, but it didn't reach all the way. At least he's good-looking in that hair, at least, the bastard. Must get the wax he uses.
I forgot to mention that I went to the swedish Sci-Fi convention two weeks ago, met David Prowse, Warwick Davis and Ron Perlman. As I'd expexted, Perlman was the best experience.
It was day 2, so there were no lines to the tables they sat at, so I got to chat with Ron about Hellboy and other things. When I saw Hellboy, I was amazed that they played Tom Waits' "Heartattack and Vine" for Hellboy's intro scene, since I've connected Waits & Perlman ever since seeing "Bram Stoker's Dracula". They look alike, act somewhat alike (to me). He said that he did like Tom Waits and that they had discussed what kind of music Hellboy would listen to in his spare time, and apparently it was Tom Waits and Al Green.
Also, talked a bit about "The Last Supper", in which he did a marvelous but ambiguous conservative. We managed to connect it with "Hellboy" in different ways.
