I was talking to my brother yesterda about the 2004 DVDs, he is NOT a Star Wars fan by the way, and this is part of the conversation (this is 100% real):

"And you know what they did? They replaced Sebastian Shawn with Hayden Christensen!"
"Who?"
"Well, uh... do you remember the ending of Return od the Jedi?"
"Yes."
"What was in the ending? Do you remember?"
"Yes, uh... ewoks dancing."
"OK, besides that, do you remember the three ghosts..."
"Uh... I guess..."
"Looking at Luke and smiling, there were three ghosts... Who were them?"
"Uh... Luke's father... and uh... that thing..."
"Yes, Luke's father, Obi-Wan and Yoda."
"Whatever."
"So... they replaced the actor who did Luke's father with the actor who plays Anakin in the prequels!"
"(long pause) Uh... ok, so what? By the way, why would ANYONE buy this DVD set, they obviously have seen the movie before! Why would anyone buy a movie they have seen so many times?!"

After a while...

"They also have re-done the Jabba the Hutt scene, and..."
"Nah, I remember that, they already did it for the... uh... 1998... aniversary edition thing..."
"1997."
"Yeah yeah whatever. They did it back them, it's not new."
"Uh, no, they RE-done it."
"(pause)... No, no, they did it back then."

And that's how 99% of the people out there think about it.
