“-During Mace Windu and Jango Fett’s fight, additional smoke and sparks were added to Jango’s jetpack.” this does not seem to be true
I’ve seen conflicting reports, but I haven’t been able to confirm or deny it either way. I haven’t seen any comparisons, nor am I able to make my own (since I don’t currently have a copy of any of the theatrical versions), so I’m leaving it there for now until a definitive answer appears.
it seems like the reason this spread was the fact in the commentry track george lucas says they changed it for the digital theatrical and dvd releases but when you check there is not a difference
Yep. It could very well be the same, but it would be odd for GL to mention a specific change, only for it to have never happened. Is the Centropy still the best preservation of the 35mm Theatrical? It may not be high enough quality enough to tell if tiny sparks are different.
“At the end of the scene where Darth Vader is created, there is a different wipe.”
I’ve never heard of that.
What is this change?
Yeah, that’s another one I’m not sure about. I got it from here, which also mentions a “slightly shorter “Noooo!!” from Darth Vader”. That one’s been disproven, so it could very well be likely that that one is false too. Also, if the Mustafar wipe change was a big enough deal that it’s been mentioned quite a few times on this site, why wouldn’t this one also be mentioned?
