Sorry to be a negative nancy on here today, but I just have to say this…
The extent to which George Lucas is completely incapable of just leaving the Star Wars movies the way they are is at this point an extreme case of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
Its quite a nasty habit he has every time he rereleases Star Wars on a new format. The changes on the late 1990s rerelease on VHS were perfectly fine (with the exception of changing Han Solo’s confrontation with Greedo to make Greedo shoot first). When it was changed for DVD, I didn’t complain all that much… though changing the ghost of Anakin Skywalker at the end to look like Hayden Christensen was suspect.
But now, Blu Ray viewers get to see this travesty…
That ‘Noooooooooooo!’ was lame enough in Episode 3 when Darth Vader first heard from the Emperor that he killed Padme in his anger. Do we really need to hear it again?
Also, I’m having a hard time believing that the following is for real:
How freaking hilarious is that noise that Obi Wan is allegedly imitating? I never knew a krayt dragon was supposed to sound like that. I really do hope this is a joke
Anyway… I just hope that Lucas allows an unedited version for Blu Ray users who want the Star Wars that they grew up on, like he eventually did for DVD.
