google does have a complaint form for bad advertisements.

I have filled it out already for that, I think that Jay can exclude certain ads from appearing.

I know there was an episode of Animaniacs that made fun of Star Wars.

Not all prequels are bad.

Magicians Nephew was good, as was Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Both were prequels, both created and established the worlds of previous works.

RotS has a yellow crawl. The original crawl was orange, in terms of coloring, at least according to Empire of Dreams...

From my experience, double-stacking 16:9 coversions ends up with 2.35:1

The Shaw -> Christiansen change

I think I have the best, and most likely explanation of the Shaw -> Chrinstiansen change.
The Shaw ghost was also of Anakin before he turned to the dark side.

The redeemed Anakin Skywalker was a bald head and a torso.

The image of what the pre-vader Anakin changed. Therefore GL, unfortuately, had to alter the force-ghost of the pre-vader anakin to match.

Audio Mix/video errors

Lucas was so busy getting done with RotS and having to meet a deadline for the DVD release that a large amount of the transfer went upsupervised by him, thus, the problems noted. The whole "Deliberate creative decisions" is LFL saving face to keep sales going until a better version is released. As for why it only happened to ANH, somebody wanted to try and mix the audio so that it still was mono and yet had surrounds, tested it on ANH, looked at it, realised it was bad, but didn't have time to fix it. The effect would have been so bad in the Battle of Yavin that the mixer pulled it down to make it less noticable. The color casting is Lowry's algo over-averaging the scenes to give it a grainless look to match the prequels.

Any requests?

How can you go wrong with Link being a werewolf.

And perhaps Zelda riding Link...

I don't think DigiBeta has a quality loss associated to it. It is tape, but it is digitally encoded on tape, and less lossy.

Kirby was nerfed in melee.

Link was pushed up. On the N64, Link had to use all three jumps to get a hand-hold on Sector Z, far less trouble on Corneria for SSBM.

Jiggilypuff's b-punch was nerfed to make room for the new roll-up attack.

Ness and Pikachu were nerfed, Pikachu more understandably with Pichu added.

My school decided to schedule parent conferences and STAR testing the week RotS comes out. However, being a senior, none of those apply to me.

I will be in line the day before for the 12:01 showing, seeing as my only class that day is one that the teacher is letting me take off. Me, and a bunch of friends from school are going to be there to see it.

I should add that after I see RotS, I have a school trip to Magic Mountain the 19th..

I believe that comes from a cutscene in one of the Rogue Squadron games, most likely 2. If you fail to outrun the explosion, that gets showed to you.

Not sure, but I know that the video for ANH is royaly screwed up.

The Aspect Ratio decreases over time as you watch it. Rendering it unwatchable, and setting a precident that continues today.

The marine biology case study was written by monkeys on heroin, crack, speed, with coffee and marajuana thrown in there as well.

I take that back, comparing the writers of the MBCS to that is offensive to monkeys on heroin, crack, speed, with coffee and marajuana thrown in.

From Time:

"Things to watch for:

<<snip>
2. The Return of Jar-Jar Binks:
You've got to admire Lucas's guts, since the character was so reviled. But at lease he doesn't talk.
<<snip>>"

and:
"I've cleaned up the first three to the point where I'm happy with them now. They may not be perfect, but they are as perfect as I can make them."

I'm pretty sure the quote meant content-wise, and not the audio and color timing problems in the DVD's.
