You've come to the right website. This thread links to the following galleries, run by our very own 005.

This is helpful. Thanks!

I totally forgot that Oola was added later. My husband and I often talk that one of good abilities we obtain as we get older is we can enjoy TV episodes and movies as if we saw them for the first time every 5 years!

Thanks!

By the way, I am always annoyed by the strange computer graphics creatures added in the scene of Mos Eisley. Actually, I was not particularly impressed by the spongy figures in the original version either. Mr. Lukas enhanced them and added some, which made me dislike them even more. What it was that the designs of the creatures or aliens lack of science and there is no systematic concept behind. Even burgess shale fossils have a particular taste in their outlook. So it wasn't a visual quality matter...

Daniel:

Yes, I meant Luke informs Leia not Leia informs Luke:) I agree with you on the third category. I think George Lukas is one of the best movie creators who's name remain in the history. But some of his later works utilize and ruin his old/original works, such as Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I was really shocked (in a negative way) when I saw this movie.

Hi,

I need a help to clarify some issues.

I was just watching the episode VI: Return of the Jedi on SPIKE while my husband was doing something else in the same room. He is 43 and I am 36 years old and we both remember the movies before the major revisions. He is kind of proud that he saw all the original ones in the theater when he was a teenager and watched the original version of the trilogy hundreds of times on VCR. I watched original ones on the satellite TV a few times in Japan (I'm Japanese) and the re-mastered new versions in the theater and DVDs, so I am also familiar with the story and how the remastered versions changed from the previous versions.

Well, today, he started to tell me that this or that were not in the original while I was watching the movie, which was annoying. What made me mad and walk away from the room was that the time he mentioned the following parts were not in the original:

1) On Endor, Luke, Leia, Solo, Chewbacca, R2D2, and C-3PO get captured by Ewoks, but Ewoks think C-3PO is a God or something...This is such a famous scenes... Leia (with braided hair) appears and tells Ewoks that they are her friends and Luke float C-3PO using the force...so on and on and on.

2) In the following scene of the feast with Ewoks, Luke tells Leia that she is his twin sister.

These are a part of the main storyline, and without them, the story doesn't make sense to me. I told him so, which made him mad. He was furious and said to me "do you think you can tell me who watched the originals many times that I am wrong?"

I am very sure that these parts were included in the original ones. But I am not a Star Wars professor and didn't see the original ones in the theater either. So, I want to ask people who have deep knowledge about the history of Star Wars if these scenes were included in the original US theater versions or not to solve our couple dispute.

Thanks!!
