I'm curious to see if anyone likes them better given that most of the more outspoken SW fans lambaste the SE's any chance they get.

Jedi rocks kicks lapti neks butt. nuff said

Well...

I though ANH neede the touch ups in comparison to the others. ESB didn't need it at all.

All I wished for is maybe a better Rancor scene.

ESB didn't need it at all.

Really? Personally I think ESB is the best of the special additions. In fact out of all the major anti SE rants, none of the subjects mentioned are in ESB. All it added was a few extended scenes and Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor, both of which were excellent moves.

I liked the original Emperor scene better though. I mean, it's good that McDiarmid does the Emperor now, but they changed the lines and it really lost some flavour there. It became a tad to explicit, explanatory there. In the original version the convo seemed more like dance, not really being honest to each other.

The scene of Vader going to his ship after Cloud City was unnecessary addition.

But then ESb was such a good film, it didn't need anything it really lacked. They touched up the matte lines nicely though.

I am happy with ESB SE the only problem i have is the line Bring my shuttle !
why did he change it

ROTJ SE sucks its got haydan as a ghost !! boo

They should've changed the ewoks for the special edition of ROTJ...ESB's was fine, but it is still nice in SE.

THey didn't change it, they added it. It was never in the original.

ESB was so good, the Se didn't have much to add. Only correct little flaws.

I don't even have a problem with that line.

It was obsolete

I do it was a great line

I have both versions, but I do prefer the special editions moreso.

I have all of them. The original SE's look better. I think they ruined the look and the colors of the DVD SE's.

Yeah, they did, I noticed that as well...I was watching ESB back the other day, DVD special, and it just didn't look as good, colouring wise.

They oversaturated it to match the look of the PT. The unqiue look of ANH and even ESB was ruined forever.

Good thing I have versions of the originals

Me too!

yay! I think I will put in ANH tonight.

Yeah, time to see it for once.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! your not funny

Too bad it's VHS though.

Buy the OOT version on DVD...it comes with both SE and theatrical from the 70's/80's.

Yeah I know... but even that resolution is not up to par.

Your VHS are still in good condition?

As good as VHS can be in a good condition yes. And I have several. The remastered OOT (which they didn't release on the last DVD I think, because the sound is THX remastered on those) and the 1997 SE's.

All the VHS tapes I have had that have been around a while have not been the best of quality...Tombstone...Fistful of Dollars...SW...etc.

Treat them nicely, like they're women.

I treat them nicely, I don't even rewind in the VHS player.

So that's why you never saw them.

Wrong...I have a device thing that rewinds tapes so it doesn't damage the tape.

I see nothing funnny.

I do.

You seem to be rewinding them more than you watch them.

That makes no sense at all.

Neither does you knowing so little about the movies and discussing them here.

That would be your opinion, I say I know more than you think, but I repeat anyways:

Please.

If you rewind them they last longer plus VHS is a dead format. I find it imbarrasing watching ESB on tape becouse HD is the new format.

I think i'll erase my ESB tape so i will never watch it hahah

Unless it's a 1997 SE... there may never be any other opportunity to watch it. Maybe you should convert it to DVD.

Can't argue with a mod.

*gives classic western gesture by pulling his hat*

Yes its the 97 SE i dont know how to convert it ? I taped it of tv

Digitise it into you computer and write it to DVD.

am confused

THat is good.

I too still have the boxset of the widescreen '97 releases sitting on the my shelf. How they still play so well is beyond me.

I must've been well on the way to ESB getting worn out...!!!!

My old drummer has both the boxsets (WS=silver REG+Gold)
they fit together to make a half silver-half gold backed Vader face.

Thank the force they changed that dodgy, faeces-like Jabba for the DVD.

I agree with you Queeq on the 'Vader-leaving-cloud-city' shot.
It dragged out and ruined the pacing of that moment.

I have those boxes too.

They'll have to take 'em from our cold, dead, severed right hands.

OOOOH! That just reminded me of another area where I preferred the DVD..... Luke's crap scream after he threw himself off the gantry at the Bespin duel. I'm glad they took it back out on the DVD.

Oh yeah... good call.

I still hate the stupid work on thelightsabres in the latest editions, especially in ANH (Luke's green looking sabre) and Vader's pink ones in ROTJ.

yeah but than again the rancor is done much better!

they did good work from time to time but sometimes it is still ugly like when they go to mos eisley: that transport-thing is really amateurly made

The Rancor fix wa a welcome one indeed.

yeah, it was actually one of the reasons I enjoyed the SE ROTJ over the theatrical one... besides the entire finishing of a legion of his best troops getting wacked by teddybears... I hope that in a new version they kill those ewoks off! The only good ewok is a stuffed ewok.

They did it better in the DVD again; so I'm having hopes they can get the rancor up to par soon... and they need to change Jabba somehow, the ANH doesn't look like ROTJ, although he looks better already

I like that they cleaned up the special effects, but they should have left the content alone.

Agreed.
