Luke looking at the binary sunset in ANH is my favorite scene of all 6 movies, it is what SW is about to me, and I get goosebumps everytime that scene comes on screen, but JR, it is only a few seconds as you would say.
Lucas took out Lukes wink to the force ghosts in ROTJ that was there in the O-OT version, but is gone in the SE version, WHY? I am being serious, why would Lucas take out that wink or I would say the little nod to Yoda, Kenobi, and his father? It is only a split second, but it is nice ending to ROTJ?
You can lambast me all you want, but I like the little moments in SW, and the more you tinker a movie like Lucas does, the more you have a chance of finding a particular scene that someone really loved the first time they saw it. That is my problem.
So all this is because a wink was taken out... 6 plus hours and it comes down to a wink... alright.
Excuse me? Sebastian Shaw was erased from ROTJ. So much for "nothing is erased".
Han also goes from a "shoot first, ask questions later" guy to a "shoot only in self defense" guy. Whether you want to believe it or not, those are two very different types of people.

Yeah, outside of his speaking scene... Shaw doesn't show up anywhere else in the movie at all.
So Han should only shoot first? Did Eastwood ever shoot in self defense in a Leone movie? (he did) Did that take away from his character in the Dollars Trilogy?
The Han shooting first scene is bitching because you no longer think something is as cool as it once was... it didn't change his character at all... Han didn't want to "march into the detention center" and he thought attacking the DS was "suicide"... how come it's ok for him to be a pussy then but not during the Greedo scene?
You zone-in on one scene and forget everything else that happened only because is supports your arguement... the Shaw scene is a perfect example of that... "he was ERASED" from the movie! (except for the scene where he spoke) But he was ERASED I tell you!!! Luca$ is teh Suxxx!
