How did we know Wicket's name either? I think the toys came out before the movie did. LOL!

I have to agree with SES about the PTs (for all 3 -the entire movie takes me out of the moment- there's nothing there to salvage)- and the SEs (every altered shot takes me out of the moment), but I will say that even though I don't like the Jabba scene in ANH (it's totally unnecessary and ruins the pacing of the film), I could have lived with it if it were the ONLY change to SW. Aside from the CGI Jabba looking horrible and totally fake, there is another "take you out of the moment" moment in that scene that comes when the newly-added Boba Fett stops and looks at the camera like "Here I am! See me? Hey all you crazed Boba Fett fans- isn't this cool?! I'm in Star Wars!" It really draws attention to itself and it's stupid - but then, so are all the other SE alterations, except the Luke/Biggs scene which I actually love.
