	Yes, changes were made when the DVD's were released in 2004. ANH: -Threepio's left arm is bent more when he is in the back of the landspeeder. -Landspeeder swoops in rather than flies straight overhead as it approaches Mos Eisely. -Dianoga's eye has been tweaked with CGI. -When Leia fires on the Stormtroopers in the chasm crossfire scene, the original blaster sound effect has been restored. It no longer sounds like a 70's gunshot. -Audio mix is different from the film. -Jabba has been tweaked to look a lot better than he did in 1997, but still not as good as TPM Jabba. TESB: -Temuera Morrison, who played Jango Fett and the Clonetroopers, now voices Boba Fett. All Stormtroopers sound the same, though. -Slave I's engines now sound like they do in AOTC. -Audio mix is different. -Luke no longer screams after he lets go and falls down the shaft. -Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine and new dialogue while talking to Vader. Vader also has new dialogue. ROTJ: -Hayden Christensen's head inserted on Sebastian Shaw's. Lucas talks about this on the DVD. -Alteration to the intensity of the Lightsabers. -Some refinement to the CGI aliens. -The black shadow on Palpatine's face in a number of scenes is mostly gone. -Naboo added to the victory celebration. -Jedi Temple and Senate Rotunda added to Coruscant. -----signature----- Stewie: "Oh, this is an even bigger jackpot than when the Emperor came up with the formula for great Star Wars dialouge."

	The audio mix is not just different, its destroyed. The left right channels. And worst of all the music from ANH. Thanks to this adywan fellow for restoring that. I'm sorry, I just needed to vent a bit on this. I caught ANH the other night on TNN and was hoping that the statement of the Fanfare would be there for the start of the Yavin scenes. Most of the changes to the OT I actually liked. Especially Ian as the Emperor. I wish, however, that a future release might have a better make up job in line with ROTJ then ROTS.

	I don't like Boba's new Kiwi voice. First ILM changed David Prowse's Cockney accented voice to James Earl Jone's voice, then they did the opposite and changed Boba's cool-sounding voice to the English dialect Kiwi accented voice. It just sounds bad. Changing Anakin's ghost at the end of ROTJ was a bad idea, too. Yoda and Obi-wan looked the same as ghosts as when they died, but when Darth Vader died, he didn't look like a young Anakin Skywalker, but his ghost looked like a young Anakin. They should not have changed that.

	I like almost all 2004 DVD changes.Replacing original Emperor in ESB with Ian McDiarmid was a very good change.Original scene never really looked good to me.Same with Anakin,s ghost in the end of ROTJ.Replacing that old man,who was about 78 years old(too much maybe?) with Hayden,which some argue that he is too young now,was brilliant change for me. Like George Lucas explained,that when he turned to Darth Vader and got burned in lava,Anakin persona died.Then he turned back to light again,but his body is still burned,so you can,t really identify,how he looks like as 46 years old,so Anakin,s Force Ghost form will be before he got burned in lava. For Boba Fett,s voice I don,t really care,I even think that his original voice was wierd a bit.

	There are a number of reasons why I much preferred Shaw in that final scene. 1. The young Anakin was never worthy of redemption. Last time we saw Anakin looking like that he was slaughtering younglings. 2. Anakin didn't die on Mustafar. If he did, who was that lying talking to Luke at the end of ROTJ? 3. Anakin had to become Vader and suffer as he did before he could learn what he needed to learn. Having him as a young man ignores the significance of that and weakens the redemption. 4. Any film without Hayden in it is better than with him.

It's almost as if Anakin fell to the dark side while Obi-Wan and Yoda did not. Gary_Buchenara posted: 2. Anakin didn't die on Mustafar. Well, I'm glad we cleared that up. The posters who claimed Anakin died on Mustafar have so much egg on their face right now, it's a whole omelette. -----signature----- "Just when you think the amount of fail cannot possibly increase, the Internet keeps on giving." - SalvorHardin "Let's see them argue with nature and persuade the nonexistent polar bears not to eat them." - crownarmourer

	Well, mockery and sarcasm aside, visually removing all the years of Anakin's life post- immolation certainly causes a potential change to the way his redemption is interpreted.

Though I can't decide if it was when he got the new name or the new outfit. Hm. -----signature----- We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead

	You know what's really weird? When Obi-Wan disappeared his cloak was left behind on the Death Star. But his Force ghost... has a cloak!!! cue spacey music -----signature----- "Just when you think the amount of fail cannot possibly increase, the Internet keeps on giving." - SalvorHardin "Let's see them argue with nature and persuade the nonexistent polar bears not to eat them." - crownarmourer

	Clearly, they can pick appropriate wardrobe, seeing how Anakin too is wearing something he never wore when alive -----signature----- We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead
