Well, I think the sound samples are un-finished because of the crackly audio, but still unnecessary like 99% of Lucas' changes.

I don't get it ... why they couldn't revert it to original scream ??? each 'improvement' they've done (1997 SE, 2004 SE, 2006 DVD) was worse with this one being so far the worst ever ...

Indeed.  It doesn't even sound like a sound an animal could make, much less poor old Obi-Wan.  His poor vocal cords.

LOL

First one explains a lot as to why Vader is never shown sleeping.  I mean, could any of us go to bed if we knew we'd have a "sparkly glowy" Jar Jar standing by our bed?

OMG, I freakin KNEW IT!  No one's that retarded without some ulterior motive!  Well played Mr. Binks.  Well played.

Here are the changes that Lucas SHOULD'VE made!

1. Reinsert Han shooting Greedo, without Greedo firing a single shot...IN HD!!!
2. Get rid of the obvious matte painting goofs around the TIEs.
3. Make Obi-Wan use a proper animal growl instead of something that sounds like he dropped a rock on his foot. Just a slightly modified Wookie growling noise would have been great, or even putting back in the original sound from the theatrical 1977 version!
4. Putting Sabastian Shaw back in at the end of ROTJ...IN HD!
5. Putting the ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn in the end of ROTJ, standing on the other side of Ghost Obi-Wan, to properly tie the 3 trilogies together.
6. Editing TPM so that Jar Jar is killed off in the very first minute of his appearance!  :D

As for a few changes that Lucas has made:
1. Vader's new NOOOO! is completely not needed or wanted as it reduces the redemption aspect of the scene dramatically.
2. Jabba's door is now stupidly too big.
3. Obi-Wans' new animal noise. (see above)

Damn you to Dagobah Lucas!  :nono:  :argh: :sad: :cancelled:


Can't wait for 2014 to start.

1. Agree TOTALLY.
2. Definately, if your gonna go and make it HD, tweak the durn models to look good in said format
3. i agree with the latter point, put the original back in.
4 & 5, i agree with the both points, HOWEVER, if put in Qui-Gon, some would argue that the actor from the prequels should be kept for some dumbass continuity purpose... BUT! putting the "younger" Anakin in contradicted that little basic logic of life called AGING. so yea, it was a stupid idea to begin with.
6. nah... just have him executed in the scene with the gungan council.... place... and have them hand Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon a friggin map... or hologram... thing.. (idk, its been YEARS since ive seen them)

im just thankful that paramount hasnt been this retarded and foolhardy with the TMP movies.... i would f*cking riot if they touched those movies to this extent.

Not to mention that when it came to the TOS Blu-rays, you can choose between the remastered effects or the original effects.

am i the ONLY one that thought Jar-Jar was actually funny??!  AND got both the parody intended, and the fact that they got crap past the radar?  am I the only one that likes comedy relief?!

good grief, people, your treating the guy like both The Scrappy and The Wesley.  feels like I'm the only one that got the joke!

as for everything else, this is why i kept my original version of RoJ.

I'm going to gather and say yes...you are the only one...:P

I didn't care too much for the prequals to begin with...for me it's like we KNOW what happened to begin with why do we need to be told all over again?

I was seven when TPM came out, and yes I did laugh.  Now though... not so much.

I think the big backlash against Jar Jar is the fact that he was the first fully-realized CG character Lucas pulled off and instead of being bad-ass or something awesome, we get a doofy jamaican stereotype with floppy ears.

Exactly ... look at Gollum, while he's not entirely serious character (sometimes he's kind of a comic relief) he certainly is not a dumbass who just walks around, speaks like he's got highest level of mental disorder and walks into crap ... his character was put into the book for purpous, Jar-Jar was well .... pointless, Even Chewie was funny but in a cool way and what's most important he got only few funny moments, it wasn't like 'Chewie walks in and we laugh for 2 hours'
