We were driven insane by watching CGI Jabba, Jabba's palace SE musical number, invasive ROTJ SE celebration scenes (with added Gungan) and Hayden Skywalker. ;)
what the hell you talking about. CGi jabba, the musical number and the ROTJ celebration was definitly nessecary. and haydens goast was one of the best add ins GL did.
CGI Jabba was utterly unnecessary. That whole scene was unnecessary, so stuffing in a cgi Jabba that didn't fit with the film's style or with previously existing portrayals of Jabba was totally unnecessary. The musical number? How in god's name was that necessary? There was zero need for it. Heck, there wasn't even any need for the original scene, except that it was part of the original film, so expanding it with nonsense and cartoonish creatures was totally unnecessary, not to mention serious vandalism. The ROTJ SE celebration was so damned unnecessary that nobody felt its lack in all those years after ROTJ came out before the SE came out. It broke up the flow and feel of that part of ROTJ, which was emotionally important stuff. Hayden's ghost?! Sebastian Shaw did a great job on ROTJ and his sympathetic portrayal was emotionally important to the end of the trilogy. That final image of him redeemed is crucial. It was an abomination to replace him with Hayden Christensen, who has nothing to do with Anakin Skywalker in any of the valid Star Wars films. And Hayden Christensen's performance in the prequels was the worst thing about the prequels, so putting him in the original trilogy was an incredible insult. Not to mention an insult to Sebastian Shaw. All those things are stand out extreme cases of vandalizing the original trilogy, abominations that would make any good Star Wars fan want to vomit.

and the original jabba, and musical number, and the final Ewok song were any better?
i don't think so, they were all equally cheesy...

The original Jabba was a spectacular work of art. So convincing and so full of personality. The original musical number wasn't my favorite part of the film, but it wasn't drastically at odds with the film like the SE version was. The final Ewok song fit in with the fim, unlike the added celebrations on various worlds, which broke up the feel and flow of that part of the movie. Rightful parts of the film versus additions that didn't fit and screwed things up.
