Sometimes I do wonder what his issue is with continuity and plot elements. I mean, he cut the scene showing the beginning of the rebellion because he claims it "wasn't really important to the stroy." What... the hell? Filming that scene was one of the best decisions he made in tying the two trilogies together. Yet what does he do? He cuts it.
And then the Yoda arriving on Dagobah scne. He cuts it because "we already know where he goes." What? No we don't. Not if we are seeing things for the first time.

I do wonder if his decision to cut those scenes and then not edit them into the movie for the DVD was merely a marketing plan so that he could sell his "revised special edition DVD" of ROTS sometime in the future, as Rick McCallum called it.
