The Death Star scene MUST NOT BE TAMPERED WITH!


Too late, though- they practically redid every shot with CG for the SE.

if Lucas wants to alter the images of Episodes 4 - 6 Because he wants the new generation and generations to come to enjoy it, then let him.


I know so many kids from the new generation that enjoy the original versions more than the SE's, it isn't funny. The others haven't even seen the originals and therefore think that the SE is better.

He in no way alters the story


Even if that was true, changing story isn't the only problem. A long, long time ago, people used to pay attention to pacing and aesthetics as well.

the hardcore fans should have their mental capacity checked out by a professional psychiatrist.


My my! Getting excited?

If luke is the JEDI Knight he claimed him self to be, as well as Yoda says he will be after he confrotns Vader, Then Luke will know of the ability to see The JEDI when they learned Qui Gons new ability, and Understand through the Force who that young man Is.


Hold on a second. Luke never really finished his training- he was kind of a rush job. Even though Yoda tells him he will be a Jedi after he confronts Vader, there was no doubt a lot of things he could (and should) have learned from Yoda. I rather doubt that Luke is so adept at using the Force by the end of the film that he can immediately know who this weird kid is.

If you are an JEDI And do not know anything about the JEDI Dying as he becomes a Sith thing (as I stated in the above paragraph) Then you are no JEDI Knight/ JEDI Master, Just a padawan learner. We all know Luke is at Least a JEDI Knight, so why even act like he would not know about all that stuff?


Things weren't so organized in the OT days so that Luke would get a rank of "padawan" or "master". All Yoda talks about is becoming a JEDI. Who's to say that that wouldn't be the equivalent of a padawan in the PT days? We don't know, but we know that Luke was a more desperate and less organized project. And after very little training from Ben in the orginal film, he's already hearing his voice. By TESB, he's seeing his ghost. These were not things that anyone taught him to see. And he should have seen the older, redeemed Vader at the end- otherwise, it implies that Vader was not saved from the dark side and the entire trilogy and saga become very pointless.

Do not try to make STAR WARS Something that it is not.


Sir, Star Wars changes with every movie. With the PT, it changed for the worst. Fans have every right to treasure the OT as its own complete story. They are not fanboys- they're true Star Wars fans as well. You need to understand and respect that.
