Star Wars BluRay Changes

I don't know if you all have been following the list of edits that good old George has been adding to the Star Wars movies, but as with the DVD's, some are OK while others are horrible.

I'm OK with adding in a CG Yoda in place of the puppet in Episode 1 (as long as we have the original puppet in ESB and ROTJ), as the puppet for TPM was lame at best. Also some of the color and graphic tweaks are going to be fine. But just as the "Han Shoots First" fiasco, there is a new one where Darth Vader yells "No" and it changes the entire dynamic of the scene. Most of the fanboys are up in arms about it, and it bugs me too.

Anyhow, here is a short list of some of the changes, plus a some fan made video showing some of them listed and others that are not on the list (the Wampa arm). On the first video I can't even see them all, but the second is very noticeable.


1. ANH: Ben Kenobi Krayt Dragon call audio replaced.
2. ANH: R2-D2 hides behind magical rocks that disappear as soon as the Jawas zap him.
3. ROTJ: A Dug is added to Jabba's Palace
4. ROTJ: Jabba's door is enhanced to look much larger.
5. ROTJ: The Ewoks have eyes that blink.
6. ROTJ: Darth Vader yells "No!...Noooo!" as Luke is being electrocuted by the Emperor.
7. TPM: Puppet Yoda replaced with CGI.
