Most of the changes are pretty minuscule though.

Yeah, but if mfunk doesn't much care for the originals anyway, the liberties taken with them probably won't matter so much either.knives wrote:Not true. I know you haven't seen them, but the edits that will be on the Blurays are really horrendous and out of place. The whole affair is treated clumsily and with a certain laziness. The best versions of the OT is the untouched, sadly non-anamorphic, designated as extra copies on the limited edition sets as seen here.

Other than that, the other change that most makes my skin crawl is the ending to Jedi. I'm not even sure if I still love the film, but the fact remains that my entire childhood was largely based on the foundation that the Ewoks have a little festival, Obi Wan and old white man Anakin show up as ghosts, and then they all sing their little song ("Jub jub/jigga ja-jub jub/ga-jub jub jibby jubbay/ja-jub jub jubh jubh jayyyy/jub ja-jub ja-jub JUB JUB/jub ja-jub ja-juuhb/jub ja-jub ja-juuhb/jub ja-jub ja-JUUHB/JUUUHB!") and this segues perfectly into the Star Wars theme to commence the credits.aox wrote:Yeah, the musical number in Jedi is the most offensive change/addition IMO.

What is really sad is that in the process was removed the only appearance without any make-up of Sebastian Shaw.swo17 wrote:Other than that, the other change that most makes my skin crawl is the ending to Jedi.

I know! That's how people know you loved (or liked if that's too strong of a word) the movie! What's the point of liking/loving a movie if you can't defend it to anyone?matrixschmatrix wrote:What?
