I'm super looking forward to this edition of Jedi. It's my favourite of the original trilogy and the one that suffered the most from its alterations.

Liking Jedi more than SW or Empire is something you should discuss with your psychologist, but I was under the impression that Jedi was the *least* butchered by the SE treatment.

 As far as the SE goes, I think its changes are the worst. It probably got far *fewer* changes compared to ANH, because the effects shots held up a bit better. But, while ANH Jabba was more like a shitty deleted scene reinstated, "Jedi Rocks" was a new level of in-your-face terribleness. And the Sarlacc beak is nearly as bad.

But after adding Hayden , "Wesa free!", and "Nooo", I think it quite easily qualifies for worst changes. I think Empire easily got the best end of the SE stick, regardless. 

And as far as a favorite goes, I of course recognize the other two as better films. But I grew up re-watching Jedi much, much more, because I think we got that VHS before the other two. So it's got an extra helping of nostalgia for me.
