The best thing about the 97 special editions was the chance to see them in the movie theatres again. I didn't mind some things, such as the special effects updates, but the Greedo fires first was bad. The Jabba scene looks awful, and the dialoge made Jabba look like a stupid pushover and a cheap small-time hood instead of the sinister villian he was supposed to be. 04 DVD didn't help things out any. But basically, I could live with some of the changes, such as cloud city, mos eisley, etc. But when the changes started messing with plot, and looks poorly done, I have to draw the line personally.
