The special editions RUIN the rhythm of the films. Just check the butchering of ROTJ at the end. It was PERFECT. Why they chose to destroy this beautiful piece of film making is beyond me. And the Jabba's palace song change..WTF! In '97 I saw this in theaters and wanted to throw up. The original song Max Rebo plays- "Lapti Nek" sounded just like music you would hear in some other galaxy, now it just sounds like another lame 2000's CGI cartoon movie song. Star Wars is much too good for that. Why, George, why? Please stop hurting us.....

YES! That infuriated me, too. One of the most effective lines in the trilogy, one that really made you feel the anger, frustration, and disgust, one that forced upon us the sense that something VERY important just happened, and they TAKE IT OUT! George, STOP!!!!!!!!PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Original actors only in the lead spots, please. No generic 2000's actors, thank you. We don't need generation facebook dweebs like that Hayden Christiansen buttwipe ruining any other Star Wars films. OK? BTW, Leia is WAY sexier than that generic Padme'...Leia has more attitude and would be better in bed. But if you like cold fish..well, Padme' for you.

It really should have been Spielberg. He understands REAL moviemaking, not just CGI and fast editing. Star wars should have more in common with ET than Transformers. And PLEASE no "new" actors for the good guys. Original actors ONLY in the lead spots, not a bunch of good looking generic 2000's people.

I alternate between the CBS/FOX VHS box set versions(1987?) and the 2006 DVD bonus originals, with only occasional viewings of the special editions, which usually leave me furious. (especially the butchering of Jedi, my favorite film). But yeah, the originals on DVD look decent enough, but sometimes I like the fuzzy, full screen VHS rental look that I remember from the 80's. I'll keep doing this until they finally do us some justice!

I agree, a "half" special edition with souped up sabers and explosions would be great, but not adding anything that wasn't there,like new ships, new music, ugly fake looking CGI aliens, etc. plus, they NEED to restore the original end to "Jedi" without that new dweeb.
