I can understand why people like the '97 ending because it has "Victory Celebration", but no Hayden (and no Jar Jar yelling Wesa Free! as the last line of the saga).

Victory Celebration is less egregious to me because they brought John Williams back for it.

Jedi Rocks John williams had nothing to do with (they were probably scared to show him the new CGI), but Lapti Nek was written by John Williams and Joseph, his son. So they cut out a song John Williams was involved with and replaced it with one that he didn't write. that alone is a travesty, not even taking the horrendous CGI into account.

Jedi Rocks is by far the worst transgression of ANY of the special editions imo.
