I wouldn't have to use puppets, but I still would. I work in Computer Special effects so I like to think that I know what I am talking about . I even have friends in the industry who worked on episode 1. CG can stop a movie dead in it's tracks if used incorrectly. One of my friends was a programmer on Episode 1 (he was involved in creating Jar Jar's flowing ears). He told me that all the artists working on that film were saying things like 'what the hell is this? we're killing star wars' - but orders are orders so they done their job. My programmer friend left and now works in London.

Bossk, I agree with you about Ditching Jabba in ANH, but what about Max Rebo - don't you think that the original should be reinstated? It was much more ambient and suited to Jabba's sleezy hangout - not that pop crap that they sing now. Anyway, that is my pet peeve about the whole OT DVD - I agree with everyone about the changes, but Max Rebo and the band is the one that gets me the most - I know it's not important to the story or anything, and I shouldn't care so much, but it's just horrible. so, my top 3 OT changes would be:

1. Han shoots first (and only).

2. Jabba scene removed from ANH.

3. Original Max Rebo/Sy Snootles scene reinstated.

Any other takers? Top 3 changes for the prequels or OT - only 3....
