It's even crazier reading your previous post and imagining Luke mumbling that moments before being attacked by the Wampa!

Greencapt you stole my idea for the Greedo scene. Someone should do a fan edit of the trilogy with even more annoying special edition changes, for a joke. Change Jabba's subtitles (from ANH) to be more out of character. Redub Boba Fett so his lines sound even worse and more goofy than Morrison's. Mix one of the classic music themes at some random point way down so it can't be heard. Add silly cg fire explosions to whenever a blaster hits a wall. Screw with the color. Make Luke's lightsaber a different color in every scene.
And I could not believe how much of an @** kisser McCallum is. He contributed nothing worthwhile to the ep III commentary, he just said at random intervals "And this right here is classic George, the way he combines all the visual elements to tell the story is pure genius." Lucas himself had a lot of interersting things to say.

In ESB I think it would be cool to show the Wambas on Echo base choke some Imperial shock troops like some of the renderings I saw from an earlier script, also some more bounty hunter scenes would be cool. In an earlier ESB script Lando and Fett exchanged some unfriendly words. In SW bring back some Biggs scenes and a better explanation to what took out Porkin's ship. I don't like the malfunction BS. In RTOJ clean up the assault on Deathstar II and kill off some more Ewoks.

The thing that really bugs me with RotJ is the shot during the attack on Death Star II, when there's that chaotic shot of all the ships, some of them just appear out of thin air. I think there may have been dissapearing ships for one frame in Star Wars that were fixed but this is so obvious and I think it's still on the dvd.

Get Rid of Hayden, contradicts the storyline and messes with peoples minds and on top of that he doesn't belong there and he had his moment and does not belong in the OT era

Completely get rid of the CG Jabba in Star Wars scene, one word, ludacris

Get rid of those stupid rings around Aldderan and the Death Star (and the second death star) when they blow up.

I mean, come on!
That is just a blatant rip off of Star Trek: 6 movie when the Klingon moon "Praxsis" exploded. If Lucas was going to "update" the shot and make it look "cooler," then why didn't he just make an ever extending spherical shockwave grow out of the destruction. That would make more sense as opposed to the Saturn ring effect he used - three freaking times!!

I think it would look more realistic if there was this giant plasma-looking sphere that expanded out of the Aldderan and Death Star distruction.

Actually, the ring around the Death Star wasn't that bad because I found it believeable that a shock wave ring could expand out from the DS equator since it did have the huge equator trench. Unfortunatly the ring expands out perpendicular to where the equator trench lies. So, dammit. That didn't work either.

Just leave it alone Mr. Lucas. It was fine.

The original versions of the Death Star/Alderaan explosions look really fake to me, so I would rather he keep the current explosions there.

I have no problem with the "praxis" type explosions, though George could have been a bit more original, the only things i would like to see added to the movies are the deleted scenes such as the Wampa ones in Empire and the Vader force choking Moff Jerrioriod I believe.

umm actually no you sad dunce. you implied there now that you would prefer that Lucas, the creator should fully 100% explain and spell simple things like that for you. Which explains my expand your mind theory

No. Everyone who sees that scene reallizes that there is an explosion taking place. My point was that, although I fully reallize an explosion is taking place, it takes me out of the movie because it looks rather fake. Plus, in the Alderaan explosion, there is a jump cut in the original version which doesn't help anything IMO.

Now we all have our opinions, but don't be insulting me because I prefer the SE version of the scene. You don't insult me, I don't insult you, I think it's a fair trade.

I hate those stupid rings long before I knew what they were ripping off. The original explosions were perfectly fine. Now it almost seems like a running gag when every explosion has those stupid-looking rings emanating from it. If he's going to change anything else, make all the spaceships and asteroids explode with mini Praxis rings.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

The latter will and should never happen. If George Lucas overdubs Alec Guiness, I'll be first in line to tear down Skywalker Ranch with an axe.

The RotJ scene (as adapted for the novel) doesn't play out the way it did in RotS.

OBI-WAN

When I saw what had become of him, I tried to dissuade him, to draw him back from the Dark Side. We fought ... your father fell into a molten pit. When your father clawed his way out of that fiery pool, the change had been burned into him forever. (...) When your father left, he didn't know your mother was pregnant. Your mother and I knew he would find out eventually, but we wanted to keep you both as safe as possible, for as long as possible. So I took you to live with my brother Owen, on Tatooine ... and your mother look Leia to live as the daughter of Senator Organa, on Alderaan.

That scene also includes confirmation that Luke remembers his mother, too, although that might've been Kahn's invention and not Lucas's. It would have to be redubbed to conform to the RotS storyline.

OBI-WAN

When Yoda saw what had become of him, he ordered me to kill Anakin. We fought ... your father fell onto solidified lava and caught on fire. I imagine he clawed his way out after I left him screaming in pain, and the change had been burned into him forever. (...) Your father left because your mother was pregnant with you and he wanted to save her from dying in childbirth. I know it doesn't make sense, Luke, but I'm the one telling the story here. Turns out she died in childbirth anyway. We wanted to keep you safe as long as possible, and Bail Organa really wanted a kid, so I dropped you off with your Uncle Owen on Tatooine--boy was he surprised!--and Bail took Leia to live on Alderaan.
