What about: Don’t change the movies at all!

I certainly understand that point of view but for a Science Fiction film, certain scenes in the movie look really bad 40 years on. When the X-Wings split their S-foils approaching the Death Star in Star Wars, it looks almost comical.

Also, you can’t deny that you get chills when Wedge flies THROUGH the exploding TIE Fighter as he rescues Luke. That part doesn’t play nearly as well in the theatrical version.

I was just thinking about this today after watching despecialized Star Wars today.

Some changes I’m okay with. The part where they make the x wings in Star Wars look awesome and not like models that (mostly) work? Yah I’ll take that. You want to put more graphics in the background on Bespin? Fine. You want to clean up the Rancor so the optical seam isn’t quite so obvious? Good deal!

But here’s what I can’t stand - don’t change the story, don’t change any dialogue, don’t change a single beat of the movie. Han shoots first. Vader in clear irritation mutters “Bring my shuttle” through gritted teeth. Vader picks up the emperor WITHOUT SAYING A DAMN THING and throws him down the shaft. These are the things I won’t accept and ruin my childhood.

this one line ruins all of ESB for me.

and “nooooooooo” ruins rotj for me.

ARGH.
