For the Star Wars fans here...Han shoots first!!!!

[Gemini Cricket]

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.
