Wanted: An O-OT vs OT:SE Poll, Change by Change

I've always wanted to see a poll of "Which changes you would keep" if somehow you were selected to make your own hybrid version (maybe on some future UltraBlu Ray 2000 version, where you can roll your own Special Edition).

If I were more web savy, I'd list all of the changes in runtime order and let the innernets decide between "Original  ---  1997 --- 2004 --- Extra Crispy" and then see how unanimous the votes are.

I think the "Han/Greedo Shoot" would be most "unsupported" and the CG enhancements to the X-Wing/DS fight at the end would be most "supported".  But I bet there would be a lot of feedback that would be surprising.

And you'd have to throw out all "all 2004" or "all Original" votes since that's not the point of the exercise.  Of course we all want the original preserved, but this is about something else.

Anyone up to the task?

Yeah, but I'd like to see it out in the wild where you don't have to be an OT.com member to submit an opinion.  That seems like it would colour the results.

Thanks!

I think we could pick a top/bottom 10.

ANH:

- Greedo Shoots First
- Mos Eisley Population Boom (including the Ronto butt)
- Battle of Yavin Enhancements
- Jabba the Hutt (97 vs 04)
- Cell Block Set Extension (04)
- Death Star Dead End
- Explosion Rings
- Falcon Blasting Its Way Out of Mos Eisley
- Speeder Floating
- New mattes (Obi-wan's Hut, Death Star Hanger Bay, Yavin Temple, Rebel Hanger)

ESB:

- New Wampa Shots
- Recomposited Snowspeeders
- New Emperor Hologram/Dialog (04)
- Fett Follows Falcon
- Falcon Cloud City Fly-through
- Cloud Car Cloud City Fly-through
- Cloud City Open Windows
- Follow Vader To His Ship
- Flipping Badges (04)
- Falcon Hatches

RotJ:

- Jedi Rocks
- Rancor Recompositing (04)
- Herd of Banthas
- Sarlacc Mouth
- Anakin's Eyebrow Removal & Eye Color Change (04)
- Galaxy-wide Celebrations
- Random Coruscant Buildings Replaced (04)
- Endor Celebrations Recut
- Hayden Ghost Head (04)
- Explosion Ring

That's the idea. I've been looking forward to this for a long time.

Thank you for playing. That went much funnier than I expected.

Mamaloo!

We used to have a poll feature on the old forum software...

I think the only shot I'd keep from the SE would be the Biggs exchange. It's not much, but I think it ads a bit of universality to the appeal of the Rebellion if Luke's not the only one from Tatooine that goes for it.

Wow, I thought Frink wishing me luck would have been the end of this.

I think the top 10 is a good place to start, but I'd still like to see a comprehensive list.

I had to stretch to find 10 different changes for RotJ. I think 10 is good and about as comprehensive as anyone needs without getting into the "this ship was moved slightly in this frame" area.

 Hmm... trying to think of something to prove you wrong...

Hmmm......

Hmmmmmmmmmmm....

Do the extra shots of the new Jabba dancers count as "Jedi Sucks" or is that a separate change.  I mean, would someone want the one change and not want the other?

The poll is half-way done.  I'll have it live tomorrow.

Busy Sluggo, was Busy.
