Easily explained.  There's a great deal of growth that happens between the ages of 9 and 19.  Not quite as much between 14 and 24.  Unless you think Lucas should've required Portman to get a boob job so she didn't still look 14. :p

or just had an actor that actually WAS 14, then hired portman, wich would have made a hell of alot more sence

The Ewok eye blink is actually a change that is GOOD.  Vader saying "Nooooo" is...well, unnecessary.  Wouldn't that deep baritone have alerted the Emperor that something bad was about to happen to him?  I will say, however...it sounds a helluva lot better than how he said it in Revenge of the Sith.  CGI Yoda in Phantom Menace?  Hell yes.  The puppet in that movie looked like crap.  Obi-Wan's new Krayt dragon imitation?  What was wrong with the first one?  And the newest Han vs Greedo...honestly, in this one, you blink, you miss Greedo's shot...still not right, but a damn sight better than the first time he changed it.

One thing I will say...I was rewatching A New Hope the other night on DVD(the special edition version) and when it came to the TIE fighters vs. the Millennium Falcon scene, there were very, VERY obvious matte shots that weren't cleaned up.  I hope that'll be fixed for the Blu-ray...

shadow: wait a minute, they STILL haven't cleaned up those bloody squares around the TIE's ??!
*facepalm*

compared to the ORIGINAL yoda muppet in ESB, the one they used in ep 1 looked pretty dang good (and yoda actually looked YOUNGER, for once)

They hadn't for the most recent DVD releases(which is where Luke's lightsaber in ANH was inexplicably green), but hopefully they will for the Blu-ray.  I mean, if a fan working on something in his spare time can do that, why can't LucasFilms and ILM?

either Greedo is a blind sucker or hes a loose cannon ... it's a real waste to miss from point blank range while being a bounty hunter ... George prooved again he lacks common logic ... not to mention the Noooo ! Noooooooooooooo !!! scene ...... :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: :picardfacepalm: <Jimmy, is there a limit of use of these ??? >

I will say though, this iteration of Greedo shoots first, he shoots by maybe a millisecond faster than Han.  Blink fast enough and it's almost like Han shot first anyways. :funny

I just wish someone at LucasFilms had the guts to say, "George.  No.  No, no, no."  Ewoks and other aliens blinking?  Great!  Makes sense!  Vader saying, "No...NOOOO!!!" right before tossing the Emperor doesn't.  I mean, in a way it does, but seriously.  Palpatine would have to be pretty damn high on hubris tower or f-ing deaf to not hear that deep baritone and realize that his plan is about to head deep south.

That's because, despite the backlash, Lucas doesn't want to make it back the way it was, but in order to "appease" the fans, each re-release, the gap between when Greedo shoots and Han shoots gets smaller.

Arggh...if he wants to make us all happy...

MAKE HAN SHOOT FIRST!  it's that simple.

This entire sh!t about Vader also...well sucks, While it adds to the dramatic effect, well let's just say...I agree with Shadowknight

For the changes, I don't mind the first 'no' but the second one turns me off.
