Does anyone here prefer the Special Editions to the theatrical versions?

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!!!!!!!
