Return of the Jedi DVD Detailed Changes

Posted by timothy on from the things-that-matter-a-lot dept.

JSDopefish writes "The DVD news site DVDanswers.com is back with its final installment (3 of 3) of the series by Chris Gould showing in detail the changes between some the various iterations of the Star Wars original trilogy movies. Chris has screen captures from the original, the 1997 remaster, and the 2004 DVD versions, plus some audio clips for you to check out. One of the best lists of changes, mostly because of the pictures. Some of the changes listed here are The Sarlacc monster, Lightsaber consistency (again), as well as new things like even more celebrations added to the end, and an appearance by Hayden Christensen. There is an existing Part 1 covering A New Hope, and a Part 2 that covers The Empire Strikes back as well."

    From the article:

    You'll note the use of quotation marks here, and this is because this scene stands alongside Greedo shooting first and Jabba's appearance in A New Hope as one of my hated alterations.


    So there.

    I believe there is a .torrent floating around that was ripped from the original laserdiscs, all ready for burning to DVD.

    and now he's a powerful Jedi!

    So Cheney is the emperor, Rumsfeld is JarJar, and in a few years one of Bush's twins will rise up and eventually destroy him. Uncanny.
