What Special Edition changes (if any) did people like?
Time

Wow, I never wrote my list? I thought I did. So ....

1997 A New Hope

- the new Fox logo

- dewbacks (even when I think they're overused)

- the new sandcrawler model

- the rebel fleet leaving Yavin 4 next to Lorne, but I HATE the next shot

- I have a feeling that I like some of the trench battle shots, but I'm not willing to re-watch it just to make a list

2004 ANH

- the Jabba scene (I'm probably the only person on this planet who likes it)

- the corrected cellblock matte painting

2011 ANH

- I hate this shit, I've seen it once and I never plan to watch it again

1997 ESB

- the new Fox logo

- the new wampa scenes - I LOVE them ! I was always hoping they add the whole subplot, but at least they added the shots which explain what actually happened to Luke

- I can't decide about the Cloud City shots - while I like what they TRIED to do, the actual execution looks pretty poor to behonest

2004 ESB

- can't remember ANY improvement

2011 ESB

- I hate it

1997 ROTJ

- the new Fox logo

- the new Sarlacc - it FINALLY doesn't look like a butthole! But the rest of the scene is still as stupid as it always was

2004 ROTJ

- nothing

2011 ROTJ

- nothing

2001 TPM

- nothing

2011 TPM

- the colour correction on most scenes, and the better cropping

200x AOTC

- nothing

2011 AOTC

- nothing

2006(?) ROTS

- nothing

2011 ROTS

- just the tiny fact that this is the first time a theatrical VIDEO was released on home video

I think CBS has done a TERRIBLE mistake NOT to release a standalone Bluray of The Cage this year - you know, the nice new transfer, seamless branching between the original and the CGI effects, a new audio commentary by Leonard Nimoy and the Okudas, a feature-length documentary, deleted scenes, bloopers .... It's Star Trek's 50 anniversary this year for Shatner's sake!
