I liked the biggs/Luke scene but the one where Solo runs after the squad
of stormtroopers and then has to turn back, realising that there's a whole rally of them in that big hangar was pointless. It is to exagerated
and the rally looks fake. They should of kept the original scene.
And yeah, Ralph Mcquarrie makes amazing star wars paintings.

There were a few things in SE that were worth changing, like the windows in cloud city. But a lot of other things really did not need to be modified, for example in ANH when Han is walking out to the Falcon--in the SE, they have a really crappy digital Jabba walking out there with him. Furthermore, the fact that Jabba let him get off of Tattooine without paying his debts really goes against the whole Hutt image. Especially if he already sent a bounty hunter after him. And this thing about Greedo dying of a heart attack? WTF!!!! Like you said, at this point in the story Han is a criminal, not a GOD DAMN PET RABBIT!!!!

Aside from Han shooting first (which is one of GL's funny little 'things', like the reason for there being no hyperspace effects in the prequels) I rather like the SE.
Anyway, like I say, still no proof- and indeed, vibe to the contrary- that there will be any more changes to the films so no need to worry yet.

I don't *really* mind the SE except for a couple of things besides the ones I already discussed. What I was bitching at in my first post was the changes someone else said GL is going to make. I don't think I'm even going to buy it.
there are still things in the SE that lucas should have changed but didn't, the english lettering and numbering in ANH is one along with the lightsaber screwups. plus palpatine in ep 5. and even though the new ending to jedi is better, it's still lame and anticlamactic...unless he makes sequals, which is a bad idea in itself since all six films are about anakin.

Permit me to answer this for you Jello. In ANH, when Obi Wan deactivates the tractor beam power output, underneath the handels
"tractor beam 1" is written or something similar which is plain English.
But as you may know, in the star wars universe the most common human language is Basic, English doesent exist. So what Jello said is that Lucas should of transformed the english letters into basic letters.
When Luke, Han and Vader talk, the language they speak is English, but this just a translation for earthlings that see the film. The language the caracters realy speak, is actually Basic. But what earthlings see visually is real so English is not supposed to be seen in the films even though
it is heard.

it would also be nice to see the rebel display in the death star battle to resemble the battle display the seperatists have in episode 2 with all the holograms

Lucas himself kind of said so in an interview that even if the PT is set to be before OT the PT technology might come out as more advanced due to the development in film tricks and such
He's right, though I think that the entire OT made with The PT computer graphics and film tricks would suck. I think The OT looks more realistic than the PT because there are far less computer graphics.

I know!!! While we're at it, why not have Lucas digitally insert Jar Jar into the original trilogy! He could train with Yoda! He could defeat the emperor single handedly in a hilarious syle by tripping him over!
Who cares about Han's bad boy image? Let's insert a shot of him delivering toys to underpriveliged kids!
And why stop there? With the power of CGI you can now muddy up all those perfectly good looking shots with such OBVIOUS CG ones that the fans will be up in arms for decades!
RUN AND HIDE LUCAS! WHEN I FIND YA THERE'LL BE HELL TO PAY!
Thanks - I needed that
