Star Wars
The Good
- New Battle of Yavin footage. Really helped build the tension before the battle began, and during the battle the new footage was exciting
- The Biggs scene. Helps make the battle more personal, more tragic when Biggs dies.
- New Mos Eisley. Looks more like a bustling spaceport.
The Bad
- Jabba. The new scene just screams "Is this really necessary?" And what gangster lets one of his flunkies STEP ON HIS TAIL?? If Al Capone had a tail, I wouldn't have stepped on it for any amount of money. Oh and Boba Fett, yes, we can see you.
- Antics in New Mos Eisley. I liked the improved city, but did we need any of that slapstick?
The Ugly
- Greedo shooting. Just an appalling intrusion onto a perfect scene.
The Empire Strikes Back
The Good
- Bespin. Looks better, more populous.
The Bad
- The Emperor's new scene. All they had to do here was have Ian McDiarmid say the exact same dialogue Clive Revill said. Didn't even get that right. And the new hologram was too bright. Man, Lucas could screw up a two-car funeral.
The Ugly
- "Alert my Star Destroyer to prepare for my arrival." Yuck! How is that overly verbose, flat delivery any different from, "I am having a cavity filled, work out a convenient appointment date with the dentist."? The original scene was light-years better, and this change horribly marrs the picture.
Return of the Jedi
The Good
- Rancor Scene. Still doesn't look right, but it looks more believable than ever.
- Ending music. Many disagree, but this new song is much, much better than before.
The Bad
- The "Jedi Rocks" music video. Now, one bad song replaced another, so who cares about the song. But the new "performance"? Give me a break. We get it George, your CGI is "fabuloso".
- The Sarlacc beak. Completely stupid.
The Ugly
- That actor from "Shattered Glass" standing in the place of Anakin Skywalker. That, along with the horribly convoluted bullshit explanation about Anakin dying in ROTS (so who the hell threw Palpatine down the shaft, then?) makes me mourn all of this amazing technology we abuse today.
In defense of Mannequin Skywalker, he didn't even know that shot was going to be used in the movie. Then again, considering how well he does act, that's probably a good thing.
