@@FirstnameLastname-us7mx I think I've heard that it's something to do with the lighting, the original puppet Yoda was only ever featured on Dagobah which was generally shadowy and dark. In the phantom menace the environment was much more bright and showed the limitations of the puppetry far more clearly. As for the last jedi though, no idea xD

Original trilogy puppet yoda looks weird too honestly

@@FirstnameLastname-us7mx I think Heorge was going for a younger look. Would be weird if that were the case. You would think 50 odd years wouldn't make too much of a difference for Yoda.

Absofuckinlutely the prequel puppet yoda was fricken terrifying

Luke Huizenga they used the exact same puppet for TLJ from Empire. The reason why it’s look like it’s aged is because... well, the thing was made in 1980

Chewie didnt want a medal.

Chewie didn’t want a medal as he didn’t want to be different from the other Wookiee’s. In Wookiee culture only they chief is aloud to wear gold so it also goes against his beliefs

In real life it was because Carrie Fisher was too short

Well now he has one

Well he gets one

He looked he got chicken pox lol

@@dingkong5034 He looked like he was on deathsticks.

His eyes looked like mouths

It was a she btw

The Special Edition version looks like he was stung by a bee. It's so clearly his ROTS appearance which is vastly different from his ROTJ appearance.

@Garrin Williamson he fucked up.

That line is on the original 'story of the film' released on LP in the 1970s

10-year-old me enjoyed that bit when it was shown in theaters.

Tbf the will helm scream in that section had me on the edge of my seat 😂😂

anything else

You may have defeated the Empire, but Darth Jar Jar remains.

I actually like Gungans

Zach Wiseman me too idk what’s wrong with people

David Wiles Luke didn’t even know the empire existed. And his dad was in it lol

George Scott pretty sure Luke did know about the empire, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense for him to tell Obi Wan “it’s not that I like the empire, I hate it, but I’ve got work to do right now...”. But even that is an indication of how little the empire figures in his mind.

There was an Imperial garrison on Tatooine so that could’ve affected the inhabitants

Two residents were fucking cremated lmao

@LavaDuck Which was in the middle of the Dune Sea where moisture farmers and Tusken Raiders are the only inhabitants (Jawa's don't count. They technically live on the move most of the time, only stopping to make deals with the other locals or any shipments coming from other parts of the galaxy). Most people wouldn't hear about that sort of thing unless a trooper from that squad let slip about what happened.

Greedo wasn't evil, he was just a hungry bear.

Right!

I gotta better one. It doesn't matter who shot first. Han won and walked away

@@knightghost1782 Exactly.

Greedo's greed killed him, he messed with the wrong "scum." Wasted for merely holding a top smuggler at gunpoint

Hayden did an amazing job. His performance portrayed the inner struggle Anakin was having, like you said, exactly like George had wanted him to. He even tried to speak in a way in line with the way Vader did.

Christensen..

Same

Yes!!

The prequel trilogy are fantastic in every way except for the writing. They are all incredible actors and George Lucas is a great movie maker. The problem is that Lucas is a terrible writer which was one of the few problems they had. Most of the lines are rather bland which really brought the prequels down

No. Old Boba was Great Boba. (And I'm pretty sure a "He's older" solves any lore issues)

Boba was like 10-12 in episode 2, which would put him in his late 30s in episode 6, which is probably younger than Jango in episode 2. That argument doesn't work

Uncle Bo$$ I think people are stupid if they think that changing his voice was dumb. It would be inconsistent continuity if they didn't make his voice the same as Jango's. He's a clone, so he should have his voice. Why do people not like this change?

L:T:H F:T:W 100% Agree!

Uncle Bo$$ Not everyone likes the prequels. They fuck more shit up than they "Fix".

Urgh. I hate-hate-HATE the stupid musical number in Jabba's palace. The whole scene is just distracting because I know, even if Lucas has made it nearly impossible for me to get my hands on the movies I watched when I was a kid, that the chick being dragged into the rancor pit was far more interesting and useful for establishing Jabba's character. We don't need to know he's got a cool band. We need to know he's a gross slug who is perfectly happy and entertained by casually murdering anyone that displeases him.

***** Well I never had that version as a kid, I'm only 19. This was my first and only version so I've only ever seen this one. I've seen clips and pictures of the original but it would be interesting to see the original all the way through.

i'm 18 and the first version i watched was the 2004 one, and yes, i like jedi rocks

Darthpepo Hm, strange I'll admit. Being under 20, I really don't mind most of the changes because they were in the first version I watched. But Jedi Rocks I couldn't help but cringe at, even as a kid. It's the only change which I completely hate.

ShandalfGreyhame i actually like it due to battlefront 2, cause i liked it when it plays during hero assault on mos eisley

Apparently this isn’t true - it was just for testing of stages or something.

@@snowcatxx87 I just checked the credits on IMDB for Empire Strikes back and Marjorie Eaton is only one credited for playing the Emperor in the original version.

huh

Cool

She's wearing an ape mask left over from a different movie, that's why her eyes look weird.

mace nigdu Yes! It’s great if not a little OTT at times.

Yes please!!!

I agree with you....

Thanks for letting us know about that video man its awesome

Yes on that! I actually was watching SW: IV once and right at that scene I switched over to KZfaq and played that scene and started up IV where I left off. It was perfect

My only issue with that is that is raises the question "Why the hell do they call it an X-Wing?" when there's not a single letter in Aurebesh that looks like an X. There's also nothing that looks like an A or a B, and the letter that looks like a Y is 'V.'

Z95 Headhunter. Believe the Z is written somewhere in because IT IS spoken.

Because most people don't care.

We also have the Lambda and Upsilon shuttles, along with Delta squadron, Zeta squadron, and more. From which planet a long time ago in a galaxy far far away does the Greek script originate?

They all speak English too.

Same.

Sleepy Cerberus same because there's no hair on his head because of the burns and surgeries so why would there be brows

Same, as small as it was, the eyebrows looked f*cking stupid

Darth Vader (to himself in a mirror with his helmet off): "Yeah, that day on Mustafar was awful. I miss my hair, but at least I still have my eyebrows. I think I'll comb them."

His facial expressions looks better with the eyebrows, but for continuity sake I guess it makes sense.

I guess many people don't like to think of Star Wars as goofy. Unfortunately there are multiple goofy scenes and lines within the OT. Lines like: "Get in there ya big oaf! I don't care what you smell!", or scenes such as Chewbacca repairing C-3PO and putting his head on backwards and Threepio complaining loudly about it. Or, and this one really takes the cake for me: Luke Skywalker telling his Protocol droid to make the Ewoks release him and the other rebels or Threepio will, and I quote, "Unleash your terrible powers upon them."

Thats what I though

In canon, he’s never actually died. So, it could be him 😅

It would be strange for it to be him, as I’m pretty sure he joins the senate on coruscant after AOTC.

soulsabr Gredo actually shot first

TheJamesFTW nah, they digitally altered Han to move to make it seem like he dodged a shot that wasn't originally there

Han straight up killing Greedo defines his character. He is a smuggler, not a hero. That he later becomes a hero (returning to help Luke) shows his growth as a character from self-interest to seeing a bigger picture. Take that away and the scene has no gravity.

Ralph Dixon Have you gone back and looked at that edit lately? I can't even call it half assed. :)

The guy who played Greedo said Han shot first.

Humans are also primates.

Joe Keyes Not the one in my sex tape.

I regret to inform I'll have to be confiscating said sex tape for... *"important research"*

Lee Perkins Classic

So Lucas has a thing for getting multiple actors to play bad guys then, as Darth Vader was also played by 3 people (body, voice and face).

Except it doesn't really make sense for Luke. He doesn't know that is what his father used to look like Bru he knew what he looked like when he took the helmet off. It's fun for the audience but it doesn't make any sense in the context

@@logantotman1574 Well the person who Luke saw was Darth Vader, someone who was mostly turned to the dark side. So, in that context, the force would show someone who’s all good, putting darth vader to his original good self, which Annikan before he turned.

No it wasn't

@@GoodWoIf How

@@logantotman1574 They’re force ghosts. Not a cringe symbolic memory moment!

A handful of X-Wings IS the Rebels' full-on assault. That is the point!

agreed

hypernovaD I found and still find it to this day disrespecting of Lucas to have done that..

DieHardjagged indeed..

I feel like it makes sense since that was the last time Anikan was really a Jedi

No, the last time he really was a jedi was after he redeemed himself and killed the Emperor. Not only does this change go against established star wars lore for force ghosts, it also is extremely disrepectful to the original actor who played Anakin/Vader, who is now cut from the credits as well!

That's my favorite

anakins force ghost made 0 sense before hand. how tf was i suposed to know what anakin looks like? it was just some random dude to me. ik its the same guy who played as unmasked vader but he looks completely diffrent.

@@GAIUSJAKE True, which is why I kinda prefer the Hayden version

Also Anakin died as a Jedi long before rotj

Morgan Ambrose was an awful change and I wish it didn’t happen

I don't, that's just my opinion

Nrkade K

Yeah so fitting because that's the last time he was not on the dark side.

Paul so when he killed his sith master and saved his son's life he was on the dark side?

@@obsidiousmarical3498 I always took it as that was the last time he recognized himself as Anakin, so it's fitting that his force ghost took that form

Yeah...how could they transform cute and funny Yoda from TESB into that monstrosity?

The original puppet didn't stand the test of time, so they had a new one made, that just happen to suck. With the new one, they tried to make him look a bit younger. CGI did it better.

Even Frank Oz wanted Yoda in episode one to be CGI. Granted, that was also because it had been a physical nightmare to do Yoda on the swamp world set of Empire, and Oz was now twenty years older for Ep One's shooting and not looking forward to living under a sound stage again for weeks.

Yes it sucks I have the phantom menace as a DVD and it's of puppet Yoda and it's scary as shit so I only watch it on the TV because that's spooky shit

He isn't that creepy, but yeah I CGI looks better ! Thehe, If you guys find the puppet creepy then try to watch meanwhile the Spongebob close theme is playing ;).

robhigg2203 the one from the original phantom menace didn't look like yoda at all

Kenjamin agreed

couldnt they just have used the original yoda puppet for all the prequels? That way they wouldn't have to have that stupid lightsaber fight...

Charlie Hadley no way! The puppet yoda was horrible and l think they should have changed the OT yoda too because the puppet yoda really looked like shit

Charlie Hadley no way! The puppet yoda was horrible and l think they should have changed the OT yoda too because the puppet yoda really looked like shit

The prequels were way better than this Disney crap. Tom

My only issue with that; why does Anakin revert to a younger version of himself, while Obi and Yoda maintain their old version as force ghosts? I do love the continuity of using Hayden, though!

Sean Murphy I always thought that since Anakin obi-wan and Yoda are dead then they assume the form that they view them self in. And because Anakin viewed himself as Anakin and not Vader then his force ghost was the ghost of his younger self, and obiwan and Yoda view themself as how they looked right before death.

When I was 8 and I saw ROTJ in the theater I wondered who the old guy beside Obiwan was. He didn't look like the bald Vader so I didn't make the connection. This change made sense to me.

Sean Murphy I think it’s because when Anakin died he was Vader....the force ghost is the good, so it reverted Vader back to Anakin before he became vader

He was evil hungry. There are different stages of hungry. Evil hungry is the worst. You know how it is. You eat a Wampa and an hour later you think, "Man, Wampas are like Chinese food. I'm as hungry as I was an hour ago. I am so evil hungry."

I totally agree with you. I got so annoyed with all the fluff nonsense footage added. Just too much going on.

I'm sure it's a fine balance since Disney is a bear trap for copyright strikes

No your not alone

@Ludimeel Sorbo I hate to see what else you like. You have to have brain damage to enjoy that nonsense.

J29 hahaha tie fighter go WAAAAAAAAARGH

It was wholesome I randomly scream wessa free whenever I'm done with work now

SonOfAKing Same here. Makes me wonder what else I would be surprised by.

Same. I can only tell something was added/changed when it's blatantly CGI. TBH i was only 7 when the new versions came out, i'm not even sure if i've ever seen the originals.

SonOfAKing Same here friend, lol. totally forgot how different it really looked back then

soulvanquisher1 I grew up owning the 1997 cuts, so I didn't know there was an older version

haha hell yeah...the only times I seen the original cuts was on tv lol

I get what you me and agree to an extent but I think he sounded so much cooler before they changed the voice and I liked him better never seeing the face. Not knowing who he is was cool because he was whoever you wanted him to be.

He was whomever you wanted him to be? Like what people are doing with Snoke right now?

Yeah, but the Boba Fett replacement was disrespectful to the actor who put in a lot of work playing Fett in the originals, when the old emperor was actually just played by the wife of one of the SFX guys when they couldn't find anyone else.

So, how is Boba Fett being replaced is disrespectful but Sidious being replaced isn't?

Audial Architect I explained that already. it's because they didn't get an actor to play the emperor, they just needed him in the movie and didn't know what to do. there probably wasn't even a name in the credits for who played him. Boba Fett was played by an actor who was hired to play an awesome character, and then he was wiped out of the movies altogether.

Me too

Him being silent is dumb and he should have said SOMETHING. Good thing Lucas fixed that

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like this. It's just not in his character if you ask me.

And an monki

And the dialogue was superior 👍

NO it wasnt. Yes she was credited for the role, but in the final cut it wasnt actually her, but another actor.

Kathleen Kennedy?

Yeah it was KK

Well, the Force Awakens wasn't even being considered yet, so Lucas wasn't aware that Disney was gonna hit a giant reset button and undo all of Luke, Leia and Han's hard work in order to continue the series. In my opinion, that decision was worse than Greedo shooting first, the romance scenes of the prequels, AND jar jar binks.

Toa Hero that was one of the worst part about Force Awakens. The original trilogy basically meant nothing in the end. They were so focused on bringing back the good parts of the original trilogy that they failed to offer new things. Now we are BACK to an empire vs the rebels storyline for no good reason.

actually the rebels did succeed in freeing the galaxy from tyranny, with the remnants of the empire retreating far out beyond the reach of the new republic, then members of the rebel alliance became "the resistance" and went chasing after those remnants. The scene in which the first order fires their star killer cannon was them pretty much erasing all of the major planets of the new republic and sending the galaxy into disarray.

knightofficer Which was stupid. The destruction of 5 planets wouldn't automatically put the first order back in total control like they claimed. Besides, that dividing laser beam was stupid. If they had really wanted to make it look cool, they would have had the beam hi the sun, and cause a supernova.

Toa Hero they beam wasn't a laser it was a fusion weapon, they basically killed the planets with a directed nova, shooting a sun with it would basically have been like pouring a glass of water into a glass of water

They added that character trait because of this one silly extra. That’s hilarious.

"Just like the simulations..."

The first book of the new canon, Aftermath, also touched on this in the prelude.

if you really think about it at the end of Return of the Jedi the empire was severely crippled the leadership was destroyed but the Empire itself is still there

+Adnan Khan *barely not severely

jub nub?

Completely agree. Yub Nub was quirky and cute but the new one really makes you feel that sense of victory.

hahaahahahaahahahaah " jubb jubb "

tipe oh....ill edit if it makes you feel better :)

David Micheal Williams no i love it thats all im gunna call it now : D

Abigail Archer-Addams I agree with you 100%

bobbelonie It didn't bother me until Episode VIII came out and I saw what they should have looked like from the start. Though I realize there was probably some technological boundary in the way, even in the prequel movies.

Also, TFA establishes unequivocally that lightsabers are HOT. The atmospheric distortion caused by the heat of the blade is a nice touch.

fredocarroll Well, that's mostly on Kylo's saber because of its shoddy craftsmanship.

If I’m gonna complain about anything then maybe it’s that they look a little too colourful in TFA. The part where Kylo and Rey have locked sabers at the end make it look like a mid 90s rave in full swing. But ultimately yeah the lightsaber effect is much better nowadays than it was.

Erikon14 yes from the Soviets.

Berlin had been under siege and been bombed into ruins, and the Soviet army raped thousands of women upon capturing it when Germany finally surrendered. Not the best comparison to draw.

Shadow Griffin exactly only the Soviets rejoiced not the Germans.

Erikon14 because in berlin the Russian were controling it. the people were hidding.

Erikon14 that's the only planet i didn't like seeing for exactly that reason. the rest are appropriate in my opinion

Yeah, but no. The whole idea is that Vader was redeemed from the dark side and became Anakin again just before his death. In his dying moment, he was an aged Anakin of the light, hence why his ghost showed him like that. If Vader died before being redeemed, then it would make more sense.

AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaahh... aaaaAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

mikky s - No they lead him into a trap. That's different than being at first scared to run.

Nah, J.R.R Tolkien created the best fictional world, Middle-Earth.

Lucas wrote Dune?

Lucas created Guild Wars?

Have you seen the Originals trilogy documentary "Star Wars: Empire of Dreams" Even though it is an official Lucasfilms release it becomes pretty clear that a lot of the original iconic things about Star Wars were created inspite(!) of George Lucas! Not saying he didn't do great stuff but we clearly saw what his "pure artistic vison" would become if nobody is there to contradict him in the Prequels!

+IAmValenwin nice joke, GW is a long way from best

Actor IG Me too, actually. I like the idea, anyway, but they did kind of a bad job on it.

I liked it too, technically it was the last time Anakin was at one with the Force, so it made sense. Plus it ties in with episodes II and III.

Mike M I'm not saying your wrong but surely the last time anikin was good and at one with the force was at the end of return of the Jedi when he redeemed himself. But whatever floats your boat

Chaz Hinkley You're spot on. And Luke wouldn't even recognise him.

No the last time was when he killed the Emperor.

I found it flowed well with what he was saying but he did need to add more star wars visuals to what he was talking about

i agree

Afroditi M. Your irrelevant comments are annoying and make the comments section less enjoyable.

Damn right! Seems like the author tries to illustrate every single word with a corresponding pic. WTF? What’s the goal?! Stupidity, I guess.

It doesn't make the clip "less enjoyable", it makes it totally stupid and unwatchable.

Martin Castillo EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT

I still hate that. Originally, he was a middle-aged/age-appropriate Anakin (the actor who played him in make-up when the mask was removed). It makes no sense to me that Anakin would be younger for some reason, but Obi-Wan would be the age he was when he died.

Ned Hastings that’s when he stopped being a Jedi, at that age

@@TheNedH obiwan was a jedi till he died anakin wasnt really a jedi even after he killed the emperor

I agree! Love the content about Star Wars but we really don't need some random fucking picture for every fucking word he says

Utterly tedious and totally unnecessary. A distraction to the video's substance.

Welcome to WhatCulture, you must be new here xD Same reason they are only talking about the special editions, tho, and not any of the dozens of edits Lucas made after-the-fact in 77, 78, 79...etc.

My thoughts exactly ... so the author had many video clips and can insert them into a video wherever he pleases... good for him, but completely made the viewing experience frustrating.

+Jeff G You could have just said it was annoying without talking like a pretentious wannabe critic trying to act intelligent. "Utterly tedious" holy fucking shit

Arthus850 also, the addition of Biggs explains why Like us suddenly happy after finding out that Han is leaving

Or how about just a good old "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

In Adywan's Star Wars: A New Hope Revisited, he adds that dialog into the scene. It's powerful.

Yeah, I saw it. And he followed it with a shot of Luke looking sad. It really worked.

He was in his 30's when he got the part. The makeup department did a good job making him look older

He was 39 in Ep6, 61 in Ep3 and 75 in Ep9, but makeup mask it perfect.

And the prequel trilogy

And he also reprised his role in Star Wars Rebels as well.

I don't understand why anyone who is a ghost would look old. You would think everyone would be in their prime.

and technically most of anakin died back in episode 3, while a little bit was left episode 6, so maybe it has to do when the majority of you has died.

Yes, a Death Star wasn't bad-ass enough. Now we've got a planet that kills stars to kill you across the galaxy.

And if you count the extended universe, as many still do and Disney might sooner or later, a lot more too.......

Wait that thing could kill outside it's solar system..how..uh did the planet move. I still don't get that how a stationary doomsday machine is threat. starsystem aren't exactly next door you knkow.

zuzoscorner Somehow, they figured out how to make that slow read beam travel at hyper speed. Once thing I've learned long ago, is to never look for actual science in StarWars, because you won't find it. Every conceivable law of physics is broken a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

JJ F&*(^ Abrams. All most as bad as when Lucas went senile.

I can get with that.

At least it makes him more recognizable to us.

MrClickity Pirate it.

It doesn't exist. The despecialized edition is a fan mash up.

They did actually do a release in the early 2000s on DVD that contained both the Special Editions and the original Theatrical Versions. I know because I own it. I knew when it came out it would be a once-in-a-lifetime thing and I got all three.

Jason holy shit you are right, it's 3am and I just fucking woke up and looked at my DVD archive because I knew I had all 6 movies in DVDs and what do you know, the OT DVDs have the theatrical versions and I never knew (kinda forgot about them tbh lol) THANK YOU. I was starting to think I would never be able to watch those versions ever

Guitarman5200 If I’m remembering right, there are still some issues with those versions too. I don’t have them handy to check. I really would just like the version that was on the VHS OT with the stormtrooper, Vader & Yoda on the covers. I think there’s enough room for a high quality DVD or Blu-ray version of the OT and OT SE...one for history and one as George’s definite version. Then let fans figure out which version we like best. I have copies of the first VHS releases of the OT, and video & sound quality really is quite amazing played on a basic VHS player hooked up to a new Samsung smart tv.

It was actually in the 1977 mono mix, as well. It's completely original!

I laughed so much too

Just cuz someone doesn't include something doesn't mean they forgot, dumbass.

This lost was for POSITIVE changes, so no, he didn’t forget.

killboggins gungans are allways necessary:)

Except in the Campaign of Battlefront 2 where you get to massacre gungans. That was not only necessary it was sweet.

go to hell

How can you judge a whole race by one dude, a dude they themselves kicked the fuck out.

Fenris30 Their annoying use of English. Weesa, meesa, yousa, etc.

and why is the capital celebrating! You figure there would be a lot of imperial loyalists there.

John Galvano lol exactly, its like all stormtroopers and generals, etc. in all those opressed cities simply vanished when emperor died 😂

why would you figure that? The majority of the galaxy was suffering and under oppression from the emperor and it's not hard to imagine the most suffering was found in the capital.

Stevean2 They show them all happening at the same time, after the emperor is killed. There's absolutely no evidence given to suggest that those clips were set days, weeks, months, or years apart.

Stevean2 The evidence is in the fact that they're cut back to back. It's basic movie logic, and if you can't understand that, then how do you follow any movie plot? One scene we see the death of the emperor, the next we get back to back cuts of celebrations across the galaxy. That's unbelievably clear that not only are they all joining together simultaneously in celebration, but that they're all celebrating the same thing, which is completely unrealistic. Naboo would have very different reasons to join together in celebration than Endor, but all we see in the movie is the battle of Endor won, which is why the Ewoks are celebrating in the first place, not the fall of the empire, not the death of the emperor, but the victory against the stormtroopers. For the humans there, the celebration was much larger, but we're given nothing to suggest anything else happened to warrant celebration on those other planets, and the cuts suggest they're happening simultaneously.

The no in revenge of the sith isn't a change, dumbass.

MrParkerman6 calm down

MrParkerman6 there’s no need to offend, I mean like, it’s absolutely pointless.

the no in ROTJ is better and more climatic, Original releases are overrated af

Han has enough badassery in OT anyway. They even added scene where he doesn't afraid Jabba at all. and fans are really annoying with shooting first or second.

It's were perfect

but your grammar isn't

It is, it's from original concept art from Ralph Mcquarie. But technology in these time Its not ready.

Well, I hope they never change the Empire/Jedi puppet to a digital version

Um... Watch last Jedi (no spoilers)

Maybe ye

the puppet is iconic and really well made it adds to it even if it looks a little silly i think practical effects outrank the special effects any day

Absolutely. Fuck George Lucas!

i was under the impression that Geedo shoots right after Han, but because he is shot, his blaster hand moves sideways and the bolt misses Han's head... but I may be wrong

Han shot first as in he got a shot off before Greedo had a chance.

Technically, if he was the only one to shoot, he did shot first by definition.

Yep - there were several different versions distributed, some with slightly different dialog. I originally saw it in a first-run theater (that still had SenseSurround audio equpment at the time, and they used it to good effect), and the version I saw had the same line in it. It was only decades later that I learned about all the different print versions that were made back then, "tuned" to different projection and audio equipment.

+MrJest2 Yeah, I've also heard that there were different versions during its first run. I also remember C3PO intentionally breaking something from the red droid's head, CAUSING him to fizzle, and thereby forcing Luke to buy R2-D2. C3PO saying "the next time I stick my neck out for you..." makes more sense in that context. 😉

In the French version, for what I know, those lines have never been deleted in the original movies.

As a 9 year old in 1979 I remember borrowing the Star Wars Story LP from my local library and playing the shit out of it till I knew the lines by heart. "Close the Blast doors" was on that record. It wasn't until I saw the 1997 SE version that I heard that line again and was transported back to '79.

I disagree on the celebration across the galaxy, but only because it looks bad. If they re-did it today with better looking graphics it would be fine. Or even better, cut in actual set shots with real actors.

Moonbolt Yeah some more realism to these celebration scenes would be nice, I can still appreciate the idea to make it seem grander and connect all 6 movies.

The realism is NOT having those celebrations! They wouldn't have known! The Emperor's death wasn't instantly known throughout the galaxy! And the Empire was still primarily in control. They shouldn't have had a clue yet!

two arguments. one, who says they didn't have cell phones or similar international alert services to spread news instantaneously. also most of the planetary governments were most probably not supporting the empire and could therefore unseat, for the most part anyway, the empires representatives and or the local militias who "control" the planetary governments.

Roger Samaniego Rogue One kind of proves that...And they still don't seem to have things like cell phones in The Force Awakens, so...The most high-tech things they have in communications are more akin to walkie-talkies...and VERY primitive e-mail, which only the governments seem to have(ie. the transmission of the Death Star Plans to the Rebel Alliance).

Thank Anakin

Thank Darth Vader

Tobius Maximus i never noticed that until this video pointed it out.

@miahbecker same. Now that movie will never be the same for me.

thedys70 You can't stab me. meesa free.

Tobius; meesa better be quick on your feet too pal...

The song is also heaps better than yub nub that just seemed outta place

My only complaint with the change is that it appears the celebration happens the same day as the death of the Emperor and the second Death Star. That seems like a very short amount of time to get word to every plant, and I imagine some planets being less exuberant than others. I realize that they could be happening at different times, but the way the cuts work it seems like it is happening at the same time as the Ewok celebration. The change in the music was great though, much more thoughtful like the future may be uncertain, but it is full of hope.

Agreed, i always thought to myself how on earth did coruscant and naboo know the empired been defeated?! but when i shut myself off to the nitpicky details, i realise how good of an ending it is :)

They all watched Fox News

+Adam Edwards This isn't the middle ages. Messengers don't travel from place to place spreading news. I'm sure with the communication and vast interstellar network they have established, spreading such huge information so quickly isn't difficult. Also they showed the more advanced plants celebrating which would undoubtedly get word quicker.

Best year to be born.

Aye same

Samee bruh #y2k

Same, when I first heard of an original I thought that was what I had and I was curios to see the special.

Same but I was born in 2003

Dude 'Lapti nek' is where it's at

Oo-la-wang choo koo-chee-kee-pa-tie tan-ga ris-pa ta ya lee oh. Yo! Ahh! Yal-lie!

that freaky animatronic always terrified me

Jedi Rocks should have been under "honorable mentions". But he got it right with Ian McDiarmid in Episode V.

only place i can stand it is in Battlefront II on the PS2

We don’t speak of the reason

Exactly

To kill off Luke Skywalker... It's over... I know that Lucas himself made some bad choices... but damn...

The mandalorian is the only good thing so far lol

MLG MASTER 114 Rebels was decent, and Clone Wars S7 was awsome

But they really fucked everything else up

I like the Disney stuff, it’s really not as bad as people make out

The base is on high alert, off duty stormtroopers get in armor and report to bay 16 for briefing. 2 hours later, briefing begins. We suspect that there were enemy agents loose on the Death Star, while you stood around here doing nothing they escaped.

As long as they only work 8 hours a day that's honestly not so bad considering the financial security and endless benefits from both the people's taxes what private businesses offer...

Get on the bus, get off the bus. Hurry up and wait. Anyone who's even dipped their toe into the military will know about this.

Well, that's how they roll in the Empire, LOL

they were in the middle of a safety stand down. can't miss those, even if the station is under attack. "don't kill yourselves, not that you can hit anything anyways." "don't rape people, again, not that you can 'hit' anything anyways."

I’m sorry the actor in the movie didn’t look that good.

FUCKFACE MCGEE Why watch some grainy VHS when you have something as amazing as the internet at your disposal? originaltrilogy.com/topic/Harmys-STAR-WARS-Despecialized-Edition-HD-V25-MKV-IS-OUT-NOW/id/12713

I'm 27 and have never seen the original trilogy, I know I'm a disgrace.

Look up the silver screen edition and get the really original look at star wars (a new hope)

I've never actually seen the edited version

And this is exactly why none of the changes are justified.

Learn to spell moron: it's illiterate knobs like you who make KZfaq less bearable

andrew h you really have nothing better to do with your time? Do you? Sad.

You are right man. Your explanation makes a lot of sense

Archangel 717 to be fair if Star Trek IV and the Final Countdown can get away with it why not SW? More ludicrous things have happened IRL like a british officer leading a Normandy charge on D-day armed with nothing but a sword and bagpipes!

Learn history friend.And his point was that any kind of ridiculous " by our opininion ridiculous" things can happen
