I don't think I'll be buying these. I mean, I've bought these films 5 times already: Beta, VHS, VHS Widescreen, Special Edition VHS, Special Edition DVD... No thanks. Besides, I think I'm officially burned out on all of the SW movies.
I actually wish there was a way to combine the two editions. There are things I like much better on the orginals and other things on the SE versions.
Better in the original:
- Han is a dick. He shoots first. He changes through the course of the film to become a hero. The man has no conscience at the beginning.
- No Jabba. And no cartoon reaction to Han stepping on his tail.
- Hate the big robot hitting the small robot in Tatooine. Original is better.
- Luke without the scream as he falls in 'Empire'.
- I like the 'Lap Tinek' (sp?) song better in the original. Hated the 'Jedi Rocks' song in the SE.
--------------------------
Special Edition:
- Love the far away shots of Mos Eisley with the ships taking off. Nice.
- The trench battle is much better.
- Han gag on the Death Star funnier with a room full of stormtroopers.
- I liked the SE Bespin. Lando's announcement is much better. Love the Falcon flying over the city scene...
- I like the enhanced Bantha herd and Sarlaac Pit in 'Jedi'.
-Hated the original ending to 'Jedi'. I like the non-Ewok song, old Anakin ending.
- I liked the new ring explosion and the sound that follows it.
