Editing the '2oo4 Editions' - which changes would you revert?
Time
I definitely agree that 4/5/6/1/2/3 will most likely be the best order but I am going to wait until episode 3 comes out to decide that for sure. Watching them in their new order obviously ruins many surprises that the original trilogy has but it does contain new surprises instead. While it is clear that Anakin is heading in a bad direction it would still be a surprise to see just how much of a bad-ass he will end up being. It will also be a surprise to watch the Jedi go down big time in ROTS, and watching the main good guy Obi-Wan die midway through Episode 4. Other surprises hinge on how the script is for ROTS but (and I sincerely doubt it) he could actually keep the birth of Leia a secret, like you mentioned. If he does this then I would gain alot of respect for him because that will really help out his argument that the running order should be 1/2/3/4/5/6. Also he needs to have some action take place on Alderaan because then it would be a shock to see it destroyed in Star Wars. One final surprise he could do that would be nice is to leave the final outcome of Yoda in question so that although it wouldn't be shocking that the frog is a jedi warrior, it would at least be a surprise to see that he is still alive.

So basically if Lucas does it right I think both orders will have many surprises that seem very foreshadowed and obvious to us Star Wars veterans but will be cool for young people who haven't figured out exactly how fairy tales work. Also when watched in episode order each episode will be better than the one before it (cough, until Jedi that is).

Either way the original trilogy needs to be OFFICIALLY released on DVD yesterday!
