There’s a legitamate argument to be made that the 97 version is the worst of the bunch. I’d say the majority of the bad changes were there from the start. Dozens of garbage changes that shit all over the films. The fact that someone could say not fixing a couple lightsaber shots is the ONE issue with the 97 SE is just so ridiculous as to be totally incomprehensible, honestly.
It is absolutely insane to suggest that the lightsabers are the worst part of the 97 SE. I’d definitely say Luke screaming as he falls is the biggest issue. Not only is it an utterly terrible change but it is exclusive to the 97 SE. But I would take the 97 SE over the 2004 DVD’s or the 2011 blu-rays any day. It’s easily the best SE. The best colors, sound mix, and least amount of awful changes. Think of it this way…the 97 SE’s don’t have Hayden or Vaders “noooo”. That’s gotta count for something 😉
