I love Ewok Celebration. Victory Celebration was ok, but just didn't fit as well(like Hayden's glare over Sebastian's warm smile). Interestingly, it was when my mom pointed out its absence as we pulled out of the parking lot that I begun to question the SE. Before, the euphoria of seeing the films on the big screen had me ignoring the changes. They just didn't exist(except in the first showing of Star Wars, where they were distracting to the point of confusion if I hadn't known the film as well as I did). It was the loss of "Yub Nub" that started the ball rolling. That made me notice the redundancy of the Jabba sequence, the ruined pace of the flight from Bespin, the comicalness of the once forbidding Mos Eisley. It turned my elation at seeing Coruscant for the first time, a planet I had read much about in the Eu, into a bittersweet memory when I realised how stupid a celebration on it would be. Even if you factor that these parties are most likely being thrown months later, it's still pretty dumb. Fortunately, after being horrifyed when the X Wing saga made it canon(I don't consider the SE canon, but I do consider the EU as so) after it had the strongest arguement against it. One character pre-SE noted how many planets rebelled after the emperor's death. Such things weren't a problem on Imperial Center. Fortunately, the post-SE novel makes the scene gruesome, a symbol of the Empire's evil. The scene works in the EU, not the SE.
I'm just glad I have the old RotJ OST. Though that version is much more Ewok heavy than the film. Even Victory Celebration is vastly different from its film version.
