Return of the Jedi DVD Detailed Changes 166
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."

I know he's supposed to be making a Star Wars TV Series, but that still won't compare to thoughts on Contract Labor on the Death Star, Silent Bob trying to pick up the tape through the use of the force and so many other references.
Film-crit is a time-honored tradition - DVD-crit is more recent, and possibly debatable.

I could just about tolerate everything else he's done to it, but that's the limit.

That may be the official answer, but of course we all know that the real answer is "Well we changed it because we can, and when we release an 'original' DVD set in a couple of years everyone will rush out and buy it again. Then Lucas will finally have enough money to get a custom made real doll shaped like jar jar."

The shadows are wrong (Score:5, Funny)
I wish when they re-did ROTJ for the DVD release, someone at ILM noticed that the shadows are completely wrong on the Tatooine segment where Jabba's sail barge moves flys across the dunes.
Look at this photo [dvdanswers.com]
Note that on the sail barge, the light source is somewhere forward and to the left.
Look at the dunes in the background. The light source is clearly somewhere behind and to the left.
Well, I suppose Tattooine does have two suns. They're special - one sun only illuminates ships, the other only illuminates natural landscapes. :-)
