Lucas' evil second chin is responsible for all of this. The man has been taken over by a parasitic alien chin!

If Lucas won't release a DVD/Blu-Ray-quality version of the unedited original films, it's time to go find an unofficial version...

The whole forest "scenes", the whole forest part is one of my favs of the "first" 3 movies. I kind of like the e-wook blinking, even if it looks really weird, and all the changes made with CGI`S in later movies too. It would be interesting if they keep adding CGI`s for ever to the whole saga. But again, It`s a pain in the ass now finding the original, unmanipulated versions of all of them (Even the ones with no color correction), and am certainly not gonna pay that kind of cash just for a few CGI`S applied in re-re-re editions.

Noooooooooooooo!

So tired of this conversation.

Note: the forest scenes were stupid - it looked like they were on Planet Woodsy Virginia.

98% of Jedi is stupid, so Lucas can take a(nother) dump on it for all I care.

George Lucas is an asshole. All I want to do is see the movies I saw when I was a kid. You can get the Special Edition DVDs which have as a "special feature" the original films, but he letterboxes them so as to minimize your enjoyment and force you to watch his CGI'd bullshit remakes.

I've never known an artist so insecure of his creation. Hey George: you made three classic films that generations know and love. Yeah, some of the effects sucked. That's part of their charm. It was 1980. How about being proud of what you originally made, which was a revolutionary work of science fiction?

The horror......the horror....

If you really want to understand why Star Wars now sucks, and what could possibly motivate George Lucas to butcher these films in retrospect, read this piece about his ex-wife and former film editor Marcia Lucas. Marcia was the other half of Lucasfilm until she divorced George shortly after Jedi was completed, and is considered by many to be the "heart" of the original Star Wars movies.

As the editor of Star Wars, she was known as being one of the only people that would stand up to him and tell him honestly when something didn't work. Many felt she was the only person he would listen to when it came to criticism. A lot of the key scenes that made the movies work are probably because of her. After this woman wised up and left him, he had no one to tell him the truth about his complete lack of taste and sociopathic behavior. He now has only sycophants around him that reinforce his unwise choices.

By many accounts George Lucas actually HATED the Star Wars movies. It seems to me like his changes are a pathetic attempt to get revenge on the woman that cut out his heart and the films that "ruined" his life.

So why exactly can't Palpatine levitate? Is he just too tired or something not to fall to his death? I mean, powerful Jedi and Sith can shift boulders and stuff with the Force, right? You'd think they could fly, then, or at least hop really high. And you'd think they could resist shouting "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
