As a child I was so confused why Vaders saber kept turning pink and why Lukes saber was green on the falcon. Those damn 97 VHS’s were really confusing.

I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic here or not but those only were an issue with the 2004 dvd master. (that the blu-ray fixed somewhat)

The other thing about Jedi Rocks is that we see all these new characters and creatures and then don’t see them anytime else in Jabba’s Palace. If they wanted to enhance that scene without turning it into a trainwreck, they should have just kept a few of the new shots for cutaways and then extended the existing song. Like keep the first part but after Jabba says “Do that again” cut right to Lapti Nek as it already was.

That would have probably been received much better that way.

Also, the outtakes from Jedi added to Empire were obviously the worst addition to that film. It completely ruins the pacing and confuses people as to whether Vader visits the second Death Star on the way to his actual ship for no reason? If Lucas wanted that shot so badly, why didn’t he digitally alter the background of the hanger so that it looked like the Star Destroyer, not DS 2.
It might even be worse than Hayden in RotJ, I can’t decide.
