And they have added a bloody Dug into jabbas Palace walking down the steps. Definitely forcing the prequels down our throats

Can we get a screen capture of that?

I really, REALLY hate to agree with the general. But I'm not happy and beginning to be a bit of a pessimist about these things.

If these additions turn out to be true I will be cancelling my BR order and leaving a scathing one star review on Amazon.

I pre-ordered mine with a gift certificate; it only ended up costing me 20 cents.  I'd still like to cancel, but I don't know if my gift certificate will be refunded.

Wait, I just had a thought. It isn't possible that that awful Obi-Wan call is Matthew Wood vocalizing is it? He said he was going to be in every movie...

All he did was scream into a a microphone with some reverb and played it backwards-- this gets you a job with Lucasfilm? 

And if this is legit, this would be the 2nd time the Krayt Dragon call was changed.  Why?  What's Lucas/Burtt's beef with it?

Personally I hope this is a joke, there are plenty of people who would get their shits and giggles off of this. I doubt it, but it's possible.

The rips, period. It's POSSIBLE. Just rather unlikely, this is kenkraly optimism I have here.

Obi's new scream is sadly no joke and it's been known for a while, so I would think all the rest are real too.

I'm fine with the idea of him adding a few of the prequel aliens into the mix, but why does he have to be walking around all by himself while everyone is asleep.  It's like he's saying "hey, look at me, I'm new!"

Sebulba?

Is that really Sebulba or another of his kind?

Except it's not Sebulba, it's the random dug from AOTC. They couldn't even be bothered to change the model a little? =P

Does everyone still think the 3D versions won't have additional changes?

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

Ewoks in motion. Already posted, I know, but did anyone else notice the weird echo on their voices?

I'd have to see these at higher res, but so far I actually kind of like the ewok eyes and the Jabba door (I don't like how every shot in every movie has to have motion in it now, but I do like the added sense of scale).  Even the dug isn't a bad idea - I like their design - but he does look out of place since everyone else is motionless and in little crevices. 

On the other hand, krayt scream is terrible (the original was fine, and I'd even take the Boga scream as a plausible prequel reference, even though I generally like to remember the original contexts of the films).  And the Vader "NOOOO" very nearly ruins that scene for me.  It might actually do it.  See, I love the music in that scene, it's just fantastic and conveys everything that needs to be conveyed.  Adding vocals that seem out-of-place both aurally and conceptually... bleh.

Wow, I can't believe it.. I just can't.  No fucking way...

These changes are the most hilarioius thing, but after I laugh at them, I feel sadness.. now my only hope to watch a good quality Star Wars movie on Blu Ray is a fan edit..

Oh well :(

My dad found an awesome word to describe Lucas: hubris. Look it up.

Droids can now use the force because of midichlorians in their oil baths.  You see, because Anakin took one of his first major steps towards the dark side in the Lars homestead garage, there were traces of his midichlorians left behind so that even years later, when R2 came along and took an oil bath (presumably right before 3PO's) he became infused with the force and he was able to move the rock aside and then place it back to hide himself from the Sand People.  Duh!

I would not be surprised by this kind of changes coming from someone who has already demonstrated its good taste :

Anyway, thank you for the laugh
