Star Wars was sure my childhood. Actually, I grew up originally with a SE VHS box set of the trilogy. We had the SE, but I wanted to rent the originals to see what they were. And even as a ten-year-old, I liked the originals better. Especially ROTJ. I managed to talk one of my friends into trading his original ROTJ tape for my SE one. The other two SEs were fine, but even then I hated the ROTJ SE.
Sarlacc beak: WTF? New song and dance: Fast forward, quick! Planet Montage: Cheese, clearly added in later, distracting New Ending Music: Lion King? I want the Yub Nub song!
As a kid even, the version of ROTJ I prefered was no contest.
