the first change that made me cringe was greedo. the first change i found unacceptable and disastrous was the stupid re-cutting of ESB. However, this was the first change that wanted me to forget the SEs and go back to the originals.

It doesn't make sense. It proves beyond any doubt lucas is making everything up as he goes. and hayden looks like he got away with murder.

If the idea was to have him reflect anakin when he was not on the dark side, then it still should have been shaw - thats how he looked when he came back from the dark side! the way lucas has it now indicates that your physical likeness is frozen in time, and thats ridiculous. not to mention lame storytelling. then again, lucas explains next to nothing regarding the ways of the force in the PT.

I remember on one forum, some apologist insisted it made sense and basically regurgitated what lucas said. i kept thinking -'no, it doesn't make sense, you just found a way to rationalize it. and anything can be rationalized'. wonder if he is still hoping that one day lucas will insert jimmy smits into ANH freaking out because he sees the death star ready to blow him away. :(
