Strange that I grew up with both the original and special editions. First half of my life (being born in 1990) was with the original cuts (mostly ROTJ…I didn’t see A New Hope completely from beginning to end til the special edition in 1997). The second half (mostly the 2000’s) was with the special edition. Now it’s just the original cuts.
Despite ROTJ being my favorite, it did suffer more with the changes. Vader’s “no!” was the worst change imo.
