Heres my take on the Special Editons i never really saw "Star Wars" in the theaters as a kid but i use to watch them on VHS because i got them as a christmas present one year, and fell in love with the story the special effects back then wear amazing to me and i thought nothing could be better so i was use to the original cut. But once i heard that Lucas was releasing the special editions in the theater i waited in line to see each one including the prequels but the overall film quality is really bad so i do prefer the special editions over the originals because they tie it in with the pequels and sure some of the stuff was poorly edited like Lukes green light saber which makes me cringe every time i see it and i do even like Yub Yub over Yub Nub it has nice mood to the film but the most change that stands out the most is the new Emperor in Empire Strikes Back we now get to see Ian McDirmid so i do like both cuts but i prefer the special editions over the orignals. People need appreciate the special editons more and the prequel trilogy more.
