Some changes have been minor improvements. Some changes just make things worse. Most of the 04 changes were minor compared to the Greedo shoots first of the 97 SE. Most of the rest don’t change the story. Most are just mildly annoying. I thought redoing the Emperor was a must as I always hated the original TESB Emperor. Though I don’t like how they did it, it is an improvement. I used to care that they change Boba Fett’s voice, now I don’t. I loved having Jabba, but redone Jabba is worse in so many ways. They got so much right the first time. They just needed to redo it with a better model and instead they used a superior model in so many inferior ways. But the rock in front of R2 is the single most stupid change made for any of the versions. There are so many other fixes that wouldn’t have been noticable. I’ve never heard anyone say that R2 couldn’t hide in the alcove and yet GL found the need to “fix” it. What about the moving restraining bold or the Jawa with Orangutan arms? GL seems to like to add continuity mistakes instead of fix them. I think all versions of the SE are flawed. The flaws in TESB are very minor compared to ROTJ and insignificant compared to ANH. As a result I don’t have any favorites of the SE releases. If forced to pick one, I’d pick 2004 as the least offensive editorially and 97 for color.
