What is your LEAST favorite DVD change?

The change to Greedo shooting first was made for the SEs, which were the VHS edition that came out in '97. I take it thats what you have?


Well, cool then. I haven't seen any Star Wars versions besides the '97 copies I own. I guess when I buy the Special Edition, I won't have anything to complain about as far as that Han/Greedo thing.

 

They changed the Han/Greedo scene for the DVD, that's why it's on this list. Instead of Greedo shooting first like he did in the '97 SEs they shoot at about the same time. It still looks dumb to me.

 

I would say maybe well it's small thing Vader's line in TESB.

 

I voted for other, and while it may seem like a small change, I can't think of one singular reason as to why it was put in. When the stormtroopers are searching the Millenium Falcon in ANH, they used to simply meet, quickly nod to each other, and walk silently down the ramp. But no no...George has decided that our apparantly inferior intellect is incapable of inferring simple conclusions from onscreen evidence. Instead, he has to spell it out for us by inserting a completely superfluous line like, "There's no one here." Aside from insulting our intelligence, it completely spoils the image of stormtroopers as efficient troops who wouldn't need to speak when the outcome of the search was so obviously negative. It just seems to me like more of the completely over the top, un-subtle, "drive it into their brains" brand of movie-making found in the Episodes 1 and 2.

 

Luke's scream falling down the shaft that wsa deleted in the DVD collection. I think it looks so chessy now when I see Luke falling, with his arms extended, and just hear the music playing. Who wouldn't scream when falling down a 100 foot shaft????!!!

 

Boba's new voice. The old one was more menancing. The new one seems rushed.

 

A person who intentionally jumped.

Warrior_of_Mandalore Strikes Again!

 

Hayden as a ghost. Don't know why I don't like it I just don't.

 

I havnt seen any of the SE's until today when I saw all of ROTJ and just chapeters 22 and 24 of ANH. I thought Jabba looked a little cartoonish in ANH, it was a cool scene but if they fixed him up a biy it would be better. In ROTJ the dance scene with the CGI peple in Jabba's palace looks really nickolodianish, I would like to have seen more from Oola. Also I didn't really like the new song at the end of Jedi when they are celebrating on Endor.

 

Jabba - new CGI

Why must it suck so bad!?

 

The sound mix, it wasn't just "X-Wings Draw Fire" (which IMO is bad enough that the set should be recalled), but the music is mixed too low throughout....


From the poll? Hayden.

Fett's voice was pretty bad too.



ttbk

 

The change to Boba Fett's voice. I preferred the old one - sounds nastier!

 

That's a big one for me. And Han/Greedo. Jabba still looks like crap!! Maybe it's my stereo having just 2 channels. But I have not experienced any sound troubles. Noticing the difference and all. But the music did seem a bit low.

 

Boba Fetts Voice - Understand the reason just, no menace in the voice,bad delivery.

Hayden - Understand the possible reason just,prefer Shaw, miss his smile, If we have to have Hayden at least make him smile,

Greedo scene-looks better,redo the scene as it was in 77 much better

Jabba-better,but could be improved.

Naboo celebration-Like the other planets celebration, but a "Weessa free" in the O.T not so sure

Best Change

Ian as the Emperor in ESB

 

Yes, Hayden as a ghost. Sebastian looked so much...warmer. Like a young Obi-Wan, almost. Hayden just looks uncomfortable, and too young to be a father.

 

Yes, yes he does. Worst. Change. Ever.

 

The scary dancers at Jabba's palace!

 

I actually picked Ian as Emperor for this one. It's not that I had a problem with the idea behind it or the dialogue selected for Ian either. In all honesty, the way Ian delivers the lines seems off and the whole thing seems like a last minute "oh look what we did" by George. The scene was filmed mid production on ROTS so Ian probably didn't have a whole lot of time to prepare, and instead of trying to come up with a new prosthetic mask that looked closer to the ROTJ Emperor, they just used the ROTS one. I'm only saying the addition was bad because in the next movie, the Emperor now looks and acts like it's a completely different actor behind the character. I have no problem with Ian being in that scene but his performance needs to be consistant with the ROTS and ROTJ Emperor and it wasn't. I'd love to see McDiarmid redo the scene for a later release.

and as a side note, I still can't beleive so many people dislike the Hayden change. The decision was a stroke of freaken brilliance on George's part and made this saga more meaningful as a whole than it had ever been in the past.

 

Voted for Fett's voice. Tem did a ho hum job on this. The other dude was WAY more menacing and effective.

Hayden ghost is a close second. We see Shaw behind the helmet...That is the father Luke knows...He looks uncomfortable in those "light side" robes.

 

I definitely hate Hayden as the Force ghost the most. This should never have been done. It's wrong on so many levels and it diminishes the end of RotJ.

 

Although I haven't actually seen any of the DVD edited scenes, I have seen pictures and sound files of all the changes.

I HATE Luke's scream. A scream wouldn't be so bad, but THAT scream was, it didn't sound anything like Luke! It was as if it was taking the piss.

I also hate Hayden as Anakin's ghost. I don't wanna know what Lucas was on when he came up with that idea. Gone is the warm, Santa-esque grin of Shaw, replaced with Hayden's creepy punchable glare.

 

I've gone with the classic Greedo shoots first - just looks BAD

 

the music, or lack thereof, when the x-wings go in for the attack.

Ben burtt strikes again!

He did it in parts of rots as well!!!

 

The lightsaber affects should of stayed the same!

 

I loved Hayden don't understand why people hated it..
Worst was the greedo shooting.

But there are a few I don't know what they are.
