It kills me when people say that fixing the lightsabers is one of the things they like about the 2004 version. To me the original blades were nearly perfect, with only a few minor technical glitches popping up occasionally. The '04 blades look stupid and weird, they're clearly completely re-done in some shots, and don't have the same feel or effect to them at all.

In addition to the blades being altered visually, the sound effects during the duel are also completely screwed up. When Ben activates his saber, the low end of the ignition sound is cranked up beyond reason, and there's a huge amount of extra hissing and junk noise added in every time they clash, which sounds completely wrong. It's ridiculous.

I swear, that Matthew Wood guy who did the 2004 mix must be a tone-deaf buffoon to think any of that is even remotely acceptable. Either that, or he gets off on destroying original sound design and "improving" it beyond recognition. But then, he is responsible for the repulsive voice of General Grievous in RotS, so I suppose the level of bad aural taste is no surprise.
