The reasons I don't like these new Special Editions (1997, 2004)

1. The original anamorphic good-quality version of the original three aren't released.

2. The story has been slightly altered. It's been more kiddified.

3. The new dialogue is terrible and wooden... nowhere near the smart fling of the OOT.

4. "How is this possible?" ok... enough said.

5. CGI is VERY poorly excecuted.

6. Most changes are minor and not needed.


other than that, I enjoy watching the mere changes they've done and have no problem with the SE's. Only as long as a good pristine version of the ORIGINAL 1977, 1980, and 1983 versions of STAR WARS are released... If that happens, I'd be excited to see what changes they've done in newer editions.

Not only Star Wars, but I wouldn't mind seeing changes (if that ever happens) for any other movie as long as the original version is available. (in good quality.)


P.S. I also noticed that the Episode I DVD has added footage in the film without even telling us that it's an "extended version"!
What is this for? If I buy a DVD... I'd expect the film to be Exactly like i've seen it in theatres...
