of Earth.I've always wanted to see a poll of "Which changes you would keep" if somehow you were selected to make your own hybrid version (maybe on some future UltraBlu Ray 2000 version, where you can roll your own Special Edition).
If I were more web savy, I'd list all of the changes in runtime order and let the innernets decide between "Original --- 1997 --- 2004 --- Extra Crispy" and then see how unanimous the votes are.
I think the "Han/Greedo Shoot" would be most "unsupported" and the CG enhancements to the X-Wing/DS fight at the end would be most "supported". But I bet there would be a lot of feedback that would be surprising.
And you'd have to throw out all "all 2004" or "all Original" votes since that's not the point of the exercise. Of course we all want the original preserved, but this is about something else.
Anyone up to the task?

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM
"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

of Earth.Yeah, but I'd like to see it out in the wild where you don't have to be an OT.com member to submit an opinion. That seems like it would colour the results.

is automatic for the people.I can make one if someone gives me a list of the top 10 changes per movie. We could post links to it on TF.n (*sigh*), or other websites where nerds congregate.
Should it be more than 10 changes per movie?

... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

is automatic for the people.Sorry about the mess.
I'll have the poll up in a day or two. First, I've got a promise to keep. To an old friend. And I've got to get the Falcon ready. That seventeen thousand will really save my neck.
Um...
These aren't the droids,, blah, blah, leave me alone.

See You, Space Cowboy...We used to have a poll feature on the old forum software...
I think the only shot I'd keep from the SE would be the Biggs exchange. It's not much, but I think it ads a bit of universality to the appeal of the Rebellion if Luke's not the only one from Tatooine that goes for it.

I actually didn't mind in the SE the Falcon Blasting Its Way Out of Mos Eisley and the 1997 Jabba compared to the 2004 one. Also thought the new matte for the Yavin Temple was pretty good.
Poll should be interesting.

I think the top 10 is a good place to start, but I'd still like to see a comprehensive list.

Chief Architect of Cynical MoralityI had to stretch to find 10 different changes for RotJ. I think 10 is good and about as comprehensive as anyone needs without getting into the "this ship was moved slightly in this frame" area.xhonzi said:

Hmm... trying to think of something to prove you wrong...

Hmmmmmmmmmmm....
Do the extra shots of the new Jabba dancers count as "Jedi Sucks" or is that a separate change. I mean, would someone want the one change and not want the other?

Chief Architect of Cynical MoralityI guess, "Boba Fett Flirting" can be an alternate for one of the other 10. But yeah, who is going to want to keep the flirting and still have "Lapti Nek"?xhonzi said:

I can't do a full-sized poll (I was trying survey monkey) without upgrading to the paid version.
