If you had to keep one Special Edition change…? — Page 2

I don’t mind the Scene with Luke and Biggs. It feels odd in the pacing, but if they used the original version (With Red Leader talking about Luke’s father), it’d be a great part of setting up the legend of Anakin before the reveal in Empire.

If it could be any change, it’d be:

SW: Aurebesh text on Tractor Beam
ESB: Wampa arm spot patch when it kills Luke’s Tauntaun
ROTJ: Eyebrows removed on Sebastian Shaw

FINISHED Projects: Chronologically LOST HD

My second choice would be to leave in “Episode IV: A New Hope.”

Technically not a SE change, technically.

It could be considered, though, the beginning of the revisionist saga that culminated in Lucas stating Star Wars was the tragedy of Darth Vader.

What is Star Wars, then?

Oh, I don’t know, maybe classic story of good versus evil following protagonists Luke, Leia and Han.
If you think the OT is about Darth Vader, you’re smoking something.

Sorry, I’m autistic and I needed someone to say exactly what it was.

The new death star explosion or the cloud city windows.

New celebration song/scene in ROTJ. This change is essential as the original version is crap.

SW: Greedo shooting first

This is interesting, as Greedo shooting first is the most offensive change in the entire trilogy, to me.

You’re correct. I had forgotten about that, as I never watched Star Wars before watching the GOUT DVDs (and then Harmy soon after) in 2013.

That’s probably true. Give me power, and I’ll become corrupt in very short order.

My favorite change is also the sandcrawler close up shot. I’m pretty sure they used the original model, and it’s all practical effects!

One CGI shot of the millenium Falcon leaving Mos Eisly at takeoff.
Recomposited effects shots w/o black lines.
Afew of the cloud city open spaces.
And alien languages on the power core of the death Star.
Bobba Fett’s ship following the millenium Falcon to cloud city.
And maybe Lucas’ Wampa costume scene’s.
But other than that, I’d. Prefer to hear Bobba Fett’s original voice again.
And The emperor’s hologram from Empire.
Anakin’s eye color being changed to hazel in ROTJ, for the sake of continuity.
And a new special edition change.
Vader throwing Rick Macullum in the reactor core.
And nothing else.

“One” change is a difficult concept, I see.

This thread had morphed from “which one shitty aspect of the shitty SE can I live with if I had to” to “this is why I love the SE!”

They are not all shit, only about 95% of them.

Well actually they still are transparent in some shots, they fixed only the shot which they mentioned in all documentaries.

Well the question was “Which SE change do you hate the least”, and the suggested scenario was that we were forced to keep one… Unlike this thread’s evil clone, there’s nothing about this scenario that prevents one from keeping more than one change, is there?
