Just read through the last 30 pages of the US thread... Wow...

If the two audio alterations are true then man, they suck. But I do find the Jabba gate and R2 hiding behind more rocks to be good alterations.

No idea :/

Considering R2's not in plane sight anymore, my guess is to make it more belivable that he wasn't spotted by the Tusken Raiders and that Ben didn't notice him until he made a sound.

But I never watched those scenes before and thought "How did they not see R2 when he's right in the open?"

GL would probably be better off just following the Hollywood trend and completely start from scratch with re-makes.

I'm not bothered by most of the changes that have been made throughout the years, I still enjoy the films as much as I ever have. But I can still see that there are a lot of changes that are pretty pointless.

I think the 2 worst things to come out so far are the Noooo! lines added to the end of Jedi and Bens dragon call. They sound terible. Was there really any need to put the NO! line from ROTS in to the end of Jedi? It was perfectly fine as it was.

But, on the other hand I can see where GL is coming from in that if he had made the films in chronological order, then it would be a nice "dovetail" to the series. Your supposed to fit prequals around what has been established, not alter the originals to fit the prequals

[Mavrick]

And aparently Sebulba has been added to the Jabba's Palace scenes. Can't confirm it yet though, as I won't download the rips that have appeared online.

[Mavrick]

Actually, heres a video clip thats suposedly from the same rips as the other changes above.

I'll most likely be beaten to it by other eager posters. But I'll most likely take a crap load of shots of every last detail of the set and upload it to my HT gallery on here anyway

A list of whats the same and whats changed in Star Wars.

Still not fixed....

Star Wars

01. Still has 1954 recording of 20th Century Fox Fanfare
02. Both R2 jump-cuts in the Blockade Runner hallway still there.
03. Vader's chest box lights still not working in several shots.
04. Jawa's eyes look almost red from the artificial dimming of the scene.
05. Inside the Jawa Sandcrawler is almost too dark to see anything.
06. SE Sandtroopers and Dewbacks still look like 1997 effects.
07. SE Obi-Wan's home still looks fake.
08. SE Ronto's still look like 1997 effects.
09. SE Cantina aliens still look like 1997 effects.
10. The Han Greedo scene now has them both shoot at the SAME TIME, and there is still a freeze-frame there that throws off the scene.
11. Jabba scene is still there from the 2004 DVD.
12. Slooooow Millennium Falcon flyby from Tatooine.
13. After Han says "I know a few maneuvers....", it's still the old static shot of the Falcon NOT making any maneuvers.
14. Luke still has green saber blade.
15. "I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion" followed by Vader's hand gesture still there.
16. Falcon cockpit window still incorrect.
17. Spacetroopers and laser cannons still sloppily matted.
18. Old monitor graphics still there in Death Star control room.
19. Breakaway door in detention center still not fixed.
20. Death Star chasm matte painting still not fixed.
21. Jump-cut Obi-Wan lightsaber blade on the Death Star still there.
22. Millennium Falcon vs. Sentry TIE's, there is still an X-Wing flyby sound during the battle.
23. Still no "wormhole tunnel" out the cockpit window during the "They're tracking us" chat.
24. 1970's monitors and graphics still on Yavin 4.
25. Jumps between 1970's models and 1997 effects still there.


Changes noticed:

01. Escape pod launcher lights now have heat trails over them, making them flicker.
02. Escape pod hatch is no longer blue.
03. More moisture vaporators added.
04. Leia hologram now looks more blue and prequelish.
05. Treadwell droid behind Uncle Owen while talking at the table (Was this there before?).
06. Binary sunset still has the passing clouds added.
07. The area beneath the Landspeeder actually looks GOOD.
08. As pointed out by Adywan, there are now rocks in front of R2 in his hiding spot in the canyon.
09. If you thought the DVD version of Obi-Wan's Krayt Dragon roar was hideous, keep your thumb on the Mute button. That's right. It's WORSE now.
10. The new CG rocks that covered R2 are magically gone after he comes out of hiding.
11. 2004 detention center hallway still there and actually looks good.
12. Obi-Wan/Vader duel on Death Star lightsaber blades are bright and more consistent, though Vader's is a bit pink in some of the shots.
13. Millennium Falcon vs. Sentry TIE's, the shot that was revealed to us by LFL at the press event with the partial laser bolt IS FIXED in this MKV.
14. Brass can now be heard during X-Wing dive to the Death Star.
15. The glitch under Vader's TIE and his escorts after "Three marks at two-ten!" has been fixed.
16. Energy wave sound from Death Star explosion sounds more balanced.
17. Vader's breath sound can be heard when his TIE is spinning, but is very faint.

The "NOOOOO!" by Vader in Episode 3 was beyond stupid. The added "NOOO!" 's in Episode 6 are even worse.

Jabbas' door is too big. The new animal call from Obi Wan sounds even more ridiculous than the one from the 2004 DVDs, and that one was pretty bad.

Adding in more rocks to hide R2 from the Tuskens made sense though.
