1. The pistol confrontation between Greedo and Han Solo.
2. The Jabba the Hutt scene added to Star Wars.
3. The Dance number inserted into Return of the Jedi.
The problem with the confrontation scene (number 1) is obviously the way Han Solo jerks his head Abruptly and not so much that Greedo shot first.
The Jabba the Hutt Scene simply fails to look right as there is no continuity whatsoever between his appearance in Return of the Jedi and now The Phantom Menace and his appearance in Star Wars. Also, I dont think there should have been humor (tail step) added to it.
The dance number is bad because simply, the colors dont match. Thats right!! The original scene has muted flesh tones and is very dark and noirish. Now, there are flourescent colors added to it which contrast and distract from the original tone and mood of the set and the scene.
Lucas isnt stupid and he doesnt NOT know how to make a film. He is just lazy. If he would have spent time on the changes they wouldve rocked as indeed some of them did. The space battle comes to mind as well as the vistas seen out the windows of cloud city. If he were to fix the above things I think it would be excellent. In fact, for the most part I think the changes are positive. I am all for CGI and digital imaging, but it must have the same amount of TLC that a celluloid picture gets to look right. The thing that pisses the people here off subconcsiously is the fact that Lucas basically decided to to take a half cocked shit on our beloved film trilogy. Were he to have taken the time and given it the respect and magnitude of effort the work deserves we might have been pleased. But this was not to be.
Oh, by the way, you may leave now. =)
