The one change I actually liked is from the 2004 edition of a new hope, a much more faithful rendering of Jabba.

I hate the new sound mix, and the 1997 sound mix the best is from the pcm on the definitive collection
laserdiscs.

Plus the color correction in the 2004 edition is a little too bright and funky looking.

I like the original color scheme developed by cinematographer Gil Taylor which used prints from deluxe and technicolor.

I did not like the jedi rocks scene, used in replace of lapti nek, or the new ending for jedi without the yub yub ewoks tune.

I especially loath the changes to the end of jedi 2004 version with Haden, instead of sir sabatian shaw, and jar jar saying wesa free.

I don't like how lucas changed the storyline for the original trilogy, in empire by having it hinted that vader knew all along about luke
and was hiding him from the emperor, until he was a grown man. This obviously means vader went to get Luke from the lars, and
when he found out he had gone off with kenobi he had uncle owen and aunt beru fried by the stormtroopers.

I read the making of revenge of the sith and he even half jokingly, considered putting Padme in the ghost scene at the end of

return of the jedi.
