Well actually all his kids are adopted. Not that it changes anything, just saying.

When the official reviews come in, these "additions" are going to be first on their hit parade.

Like I said, the silence from Vader worked for nearly three decades. Lucas decided to mess with something, that took three seconds, and people are directing their ire at him due to this.

This is progressively getting worse than the "Choral Problem" from the Conan Blu, and when you have a fanbase that is significantly larger than Coman, complaining about something that is just three seconds long, you obviously did something royally wrong.

Hopefully Lucas will correct this action for the 3D release of this in, at the way he's going about the 3D conversions, in six years, so I wouldn't hold my breath on this one.

My biggest problem despite these awful changes is still taking away Boba's awesome voice and replacing it with that New Zealand accent.

Another pointless change:

I have the ANH rip and can confirm the changes. Sorry for the poor quality and lighting.

Dude, you don't have to look through a thousand pages... You just have to go back 5 - 10 pages tops and they have been posted and reposted multiple times more than twice by myself. I'm not posting them again.

If thats too much work then you could pop in the UK thread they're all in there a couple pages from the end, it's a much smaller thread so you should find them easy.

Time to move on people. No need for debate anymore.

Thank Episode II for that. Lucas is obsessed with linking every last thing in the prequels to the originals. Like it's inconceivable that Boba would lose the accent over the course of 25 years bouncing around the galaxy.

George just loves to throw sh*t on the screen like a child waving for attention, I'm glad he was forced to have restraint back in the day otherwise I can guarantee we wouldn't have the Star Wars we love.

Also the change to Jabba's door now leaves a plot hole in the form of, when Luke enters the palace, the door is back to its normal size.

In other news: the sky is blue, water is wet...and Ricky Martin is gay.

We'll be right back with sports...

Article from The NY Times:

It’s an event that seems to happen in the “Star Wars” world about as often as Wookiees celebrate Life Day, and which fans await with just as much dread. New versions of George Lucas’s space-fantasy films are released, and with them come changes to the movies – alterations to audio and video, characters’ actions and even dialogue that is very different from what fans remember seeing in theaters a long time ago and far, far away.

So it goes for the latest editions of the six “Star Wars” live-action features that are being prepared for a Blu-ray home video release on Sept. 16. Previously, it was reported that the version of “Star Wars – Episode I: The Phantom Menace” included in this release would replace the puppet version of the Yoda character with a computer-generated creation. Then on Tuesday, an online report by Devin Faraci suggested a revelation almost as troubling as the news that Luke and Leia had been brother and sister all along: in a climactic scene from “Return of the Jedi,” when Darth Vader hurls the evil Emperor to his demise on the Death Star, he would now shout “No!” (In all previous versions of “Jedi,” Vader has committed this crucial deed in silence.)

On Wednesday, a press representative for Lucasfilm confirmed that this change will be included in the Blu-ray release, writing in an e-mail: “Yes — Darth says NO.”

Though it may sound like a minor detail among the millions in the “Star Wars” movies, this alteration has not sat well with many admirers of the film franchise. Among the angered fans is Simon Pegg, the “Shaun of the Dead” star and geek-culture icon, who wrote on his Twitter account that he always “loved Vader’s wordless self sacrifice” and called the change a “clueless revision.”

Technically, that's a continuity error, not a plot hole.

No, there is a complete rip (available in 720p and 1080p) of the OT with plenty of changes:

- ANH: new rock in front of R2, new Krayt dragon sound, Millenium Falcon lightsaber scene (barely) tweaked, Humdinger glitch fixed;

- TESB: Wampa's arm fixed;

- ROTJ: new entrance door for Jabba's place, a Dug (Sebulba's species) can be seen inside Jabba's place, Ewok eyes that blink, Vader/Luke lightsaber cross fixed, Vader says no;

- new 6.1 audio mixes for all 3 films.

That's s good point. One thing this leak definitely can't be is an old Blu-ray master from Lucasfilm. It's either the real deal, or the prank to rule them all
