First post. So, I was compelled to write on this.
I remember when Revenge of the Sith hit theaters, and the particular scene that was constantly mocked. the Frankensteinish Anakin turned to Vader screaming "Noooooooooooooooo!" in the most cartoonish way imaginable.
Now I would not say I am a DieHard fan, but I definitely watched the original saga several time as a child repeating the dialog by memory... Ok, I am half of what some would call a DieHard fan.... a Hard fan.
That being said, it made a lot of fans quite upset. Thinking it was rediculous. Stupid. It honestly, in my opinion ruined a otherwise great prequel to the older generation of fans. I maybe a little late on the scene though, I herd the rumor and it turned out to be true... after about 12-13 hours into the full saga (Im still just... a hard fan... Whatever.) I had to die laughing... what once was a serious, crucial scene of Vader coming to amend his old way... and the first thing he says.... "No". Not once, but twice. If I were Luke, I would have liked that wrinkled battery pack to zap me to dust after hearing such a pain-laced, guttural cry.
How old is George? He must be losing is mind in his old age.
After another 12... to 19 hours... I made a list. Between checking ... wait wait... Before I continue, for the record I had the flu, and had nothing else to do (Lie). So its not like I turned down a day at the beach (I did) or my date at a fine food establishment (Yep). So between Vader and R2D2 behind rocks and from what sounds like Ben stubbing his toe "Dragon call" - Ive lost faith.
I am sure this is not all of them. A lot I have noticed did not have anything to do with making the plot stronger... but I'm not a director... or producer...
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
- There are computer-generated rocks in front of R2-D2 while he’s hiding in the canyon; however, they’re “magically not there” after he comes out of hiding
- Obi-Wan’s fake “Krayt Dragon” roar is once again altered and it sounds “hideous”; keep the mute button at the ready
- Greedo shoots first – again – but this time with slightly fewer frames than the previous release
- Luke’s lightsaber while training on the Millennium Falcon is back to being “white” and “blue” as it was originally – it is no longer pale green, per the 2004 DVD release
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
- Flames have been added to the probe droid crater
- Most of the blue tint on Hoth is gone
- The Wampa arm is “fixed” but it’s still imperfect
- R2-D2’s once black panels are now blue in space. Even though I thought that made sense.
- A la the DVD release, Emperor Palpatine – via hologram – is still played by Ian McDiarmid in his Revenge of the Sith makeup
Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
- The static shot of C3PO and R2-D2 approaching Jabba’s palace has been replaced by a “wide pan with a huge door”; the door is now peppered with laser blast impacts
- Han Solo’s “carbonite thaw” is now CGI
- A computer-generated “Dug” from the prequels (Sebulba, the evil racer who podraced Anakin in The Phantom Menace, was a dug) is seen walking across the screen after Luke infiltrates Jabba’s palace; the dug looks “really fake, like it was [added at the] last minute”
- Wicket the Ewok now has computer-generated, blinking eyes
- Darth Vadar says “No” several times as he picks up Emperor Palpatine and tosses him into the Death Star reactor core; the “Nos” seem to be sampled from The Empire Strikes Back and Revenge of the Sith, respectively
I am not sure that was all worth it.
