I don’t mind the SE versions all that much, but the Vader “No” scene at the end of the film drives me crazy. Is there any edit out there that only removes that sound? I’m wanting to introduce Star Wars to someone new (Lucas Canon only, no Disney garbage), but I can’t stand the idea of her seeing it for the first time with the ending ruined.
Any help would be awesome.
Really? You’re introducing Return of the Jedi to someone new and you’re afraid that “No” is going to ruin the ending for her? Well, I got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the particular “No” you are referring to won’t make her blink twice. The bad news is the absolutely horrendous “Jedi Rocks” dance number will have already tarnished her view of the movie (and then the Hayden force ghost can come along at the end and ruin that for her too).
My suggestion would be to show her the actual original trilogy and not the sub-par special editions if you want her to have as good an opinion of the movies as you are hoping for.
100% this.
Darkmind, If you like your friend, and want to introduce them to the most authentic version then surely it is the unaltered original versions all the way, for the benefit of that friend? If your friend likes them, then let them know about all the changes and different versions, and maybe even watch them later?
If you really want to show you friend the 2011 Special Edition then just “mute” the Vader “Nooooo” at the end! lol
Or make an edit of it yourself by changing the audio track?
It has been 6 months since your post. Did you friend enjoy the films, Darkmind? Which version did you them, and what did they think?
