'm always surprised when I hear such vehement reactions to the 2004 DVDs. Don't you think that most of the visuIal changes -- replacing the chimpanzee-eyed old lady with Ian McDarmid, the more realistic looking corridor, replacing the English (Basic?) words with an alien script, a much better-looking Jabba than in the 1997 SEs, etc. -- are improvements over the 1997 SEs? Okay, so replacing Sebastian with Hayden might not have been the best idea (though I'm perfectly fine with it), as is letting Greedo still shoot first (I don't know why so many reports say they now fire simultaneously -- it's pretty obvious to me that Greedo's shot comes earlier), but most of the changes made in the 2004 DVDs from the 1997 SEs are far less intrusive than the ones made in the 1997 SEs from the earlier versions.Text
Well, Ive never seen the 04' DVD's and I never will. I cant stand the 97' SE's anymore. The only thing I liked about those were addition of Biggs in ANH before the DS assault. Once I heard about more changes and shatty additions (gungan voice at the end of ROTJ WEESA FREE!) that burst my bubble. I'll always be an OOT fan solely. IMO due to the lousy OT changes and the shatty PT, Luca$ doesnt know what SW is about anymore. He just knows it makes money.
