I picked up the [GOUT] cut of Empire since I read time wise, the most had changed. I honestly didn't care much about the differences, and for the most part, I still don't believe they change the films, though I love that you guys here are able to compensate for LucasFilm not giving options to those who don't think the same way as I do.

Personally, I'd like a copy of the original cuts, but not enough to deter me from purchasing Blu-rays when my DVDs have long since been scratched. Plus, the Blu-rays got me interested in at least seeing the historical cuts at least once, even if I was okay with changes myself. Unfortunately, I never figured out how to download Harmy's cuts, save for whatever is available through torrents, which I'm getting now

Empire had the least number of changes, so obviously your understanding of the films and their history is rather limited.

And you don't think that Lapti Nek is better than Jedi Rocks*? Jedi Rocks changes the tone of the entire first act of Return of the Jedi. It's a stupid pop song CGI-fest which in no way improves the film--if anything the film is cheapened by it.

You don't think that Jabba being shown in A New Hope is a significant change? In the original versions, he was only mentioned in conversation until Jedi when we get to actually see him. When we do, he appears as this menacing, sadistic, grotesque creature. If he appears in A New Hope, he looks small (much smaller than the puppet in Jedi), fake, and in no way menacing at all. Heck, Han even steps on his tail and gets away with it. Not to mention that the conversation Han has with him is a repeat of that with Greedo and so does nothing to help the story or character development.

There is no reason for many of the changes as they do nothing to improve the films; and many of the inconsistencies and errors in the original versions have never been fixed by ILM---only unofficially by fans such as Adywan.

I'm sorry, but your argument is invalid.
