I will be honest with you. I really do not have much negative things to say about the PT. I have seen them all in the theater and I really liked them. Yes I do have a problem with stuff like Jar Jar's bad slapstick, Midichlorians, etc, but I tend to overlook them (and the problems are mainly in TPM anyway) and see the PT as Star Wars in general. Are they as great as the originals? Of course not, they will never be. Do I find them enjoyable films. Yes. I will not push my opinions on anyone, nor will I go on and on about how I liked them. And if you dislike the PT I will respect your opinion, for we all have our own. Because we are all different.

But the SE! Here is where my big problems are with. This is where I have my resentment toward Lucas. Man, he should have left the originals completely alone. Or if he had to modify them, he should have stuck with menial changes. And he should have released both versions on DVD in great quality. I loved how he corrected errors like the cell block corridor. I somewhat like changes like the alternate shots of spaceships, some dialog changes, and interesting additions like the insertion of the Luke and Biggs scene. But I can absolutely not stand Greedo firing at all, droid + Jawa slapstick, Jabba scene, Jedi rocks, and of course, that really crappy change. That stupid stupid stupid Hayden force spirit that always miffs me off whenever I see it or even think about it! I have always detested these blatant scaring and defacing changes that are a total disrespect to the best trilogy of all time, and I also detest Lucas for doing them.
