Now i love that we have the Despecialized Edition, But i wish we had a Harmys Special Edition with the Good things that were added/fixed.

You can make a fanedit yourself, which is what I’m doing. Not everyone will agree on which changes are good and which are bad though.

Speaking of which, I agree with most of your list, but why do you think the extended rancor scene is good? It’s repetitive, since you already get to see the same **** going on in the scene with Luke and the guard. The off-camera screams in the original were enough to cue in the audience that something bad happened to people who fall down there. It also built suspense towards what Luke was up against, when that big giant metal door slowly opens and reveals the Rancor. The SE change is a terrible editing mistake.

If I had the talent and know I would attempt it lol. But sadly I do not have any knowledge to do this. Nor do I have the proper equipment or software.

I liked the Raincore scene because it showed what happened to Oola. And I liked seeing that happen. But honestly its on there because its one i loved as a kid, even thought i know its a bit repetitive.

But it still doesn’t show what happened to her anymore than the original edit does. We see her in the pit for a couple of shots that ruin the original flow, but her demise is still off screen. (if ya like it, that’s fine, I’m just sayin’)
Also, it’s Rancor. Not Raincore.

What a waste of a villain.

What is he supposed to be anyway? A new kind of cyborg consisting of a droid enhanced by a human lung? Is the lung the force bearer?

He’s a Kaleesh

Are the Prequels Even Worth Watching Once?
Time

If you don’t think the PT looks good from whatever you’ve see of it (trailers, scenes, ect), you’re certainly not going to be won over by the nonsensical story and annoying charters.
If you think what you’ve sen of the PT looks cool, then maybe you can also stomach all of the stupidity and poor craftsmanship and enjoy some of the visual … blandness? (ok, some shots looked good)
Same goes for Blade Runner. You heard it was no good, but were interested in what you’d seen/heard so watched it anyway and liked it.
Also, Blade Runner is actually a good film, so that’s very different. Even if it isn’t your ‘cup o tea’, you’d be a fool to say it isn’t a well made film.
