The 1997 German 35mm Prints show just how good the 1997 looked in cinemas it was incredible.
Every new release has been worse than the last.
1997 Special Edition trilogy had Greedo shoot first, and Wingreen as Boba Fett voice and original Emperor scene. And Seb Shaw as Anakin as a Force Ghost.
It was far more acceptable to me than the version that has Hayden, Tem as Fett, and the awful Revenge of the Sith Emperor in Empire Strikes Back. But of course, you still have alert my star destroyer instead of bring my shuttle.
Then in 2011 Lucas had to add awful Vader yelling noooo!, R2-D2 behind rocks, the ridiculous cgi door at Jabba’s, and blinking Ewoks. The new Krayt Dragon yell and so many other pointless changes. I also missed the other dumb 2004 ones like Jar Jar saying Weesa Free and a Dug in Jabba’s palace. Adding the Jedi temple is relatively minor and coruscant was added already in 1997.
