For me, my favorite is still the original 1977 version of Star Wars. I liked the CGI version of the Battle of Yavin in the 1997 version, but I think Lucas went over board every where else.


I love how Mos Eisley looked in the 1977 original cut. I just had the look of a lawless port. Kinda like Port Royale.

I hate how he "softened" the cantina. IV and V are my favorite followed by VI and VII

[daniel royle]

Ugh, the Han and Jabba scene they added

"You're a wonderful human being."

[Miguel]

So question. This may have been discussed, but why was there blood when Obi sliced off dude's arm in the cantina? Wouldn't the heat from the light saber cauterize the wound?

[Dark Mogul]

Yeah, I think that was an oversight of the time.

[Jessica Lloyd]

I never seen the original cuts for any of the movies in the OT. I have seen pictures, like how the Emperor looked in ep V. That's one change that I know of that I like.

[April D. F]

And I agree, I think that was a positive change, I'm just saying he went waaaaaaaaaaay over board with the changes.

[Dean]

Wasn't the original emperor in V a lady with a male's voice overdubbed?

[Emmie Cate]

Yeah that's what I heard.

HelloGreedo actually has a series over viewing many of the changes made to the OT. Star Wars Changes: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa0pLSAuZw3y4CdpdfaW_icS27oHVtXJ8

The lowered expectations for the explanations of major questions left unanswered from TFA:

Snoke was just a jedi who turned dark, then joined and served the Emperor in the distant background, only coming to power due to the giant power vacuum left after RotJ.

Rey is just a random chosen one abandoned by an uncaring family.

Finn is nothing more than kidnapped brainwashed former storm trooper with sub-par combat skills that make him something in between comic relief and a projection of the audience within the narrative.

The Force Awakens as a movie title still doesn't have a coherent explanation or tie into any event unlike the last 6 movies and the next ones coming out.

[Karl harris]

That's a great link, thanks!

[Sakura Haruno]

No prob. HelloGreedo has a lot of good stuff.

The original Emperor was an old woman with a man's voice and chimp's eyes. They were going for an alien, rather unsettling look, which I preferred. The original voice and lines were also more convincing.
