Heres my take on the 2004 Special Editions i bought the Original Star Wars Trilogy on DVD the day they came out for the first time ever on DVD thinking they were the original theatrical versions however that was not the case Lucas changed the whole trilogy this is not the trilogy i grew up with adding Hayden Christensen in Return Of The Jedi was an insult to Sebastian Shaw but i do own the Original Versions on DVD the 2004 special edtions are great transfers and they look like new films but i wont watch them have the theatrical versions on dvd there for i like them better now we can watch Star Wars they way they were meant to be seen.
