[Lord Aquaman]

I know in my heart that the CGI Jabba - both of them - look very wrong and out of place, but I've always been a Han Solo fan, and I love watching Han in this scene, even though the CGI Jabba isn't fit to wipe to the dirt off Han's boots.

Then there's the altered music at the end of ROTJ. While the change comes a few years too late, the new music sounds more befitting for the celebration than the original ewok song - the altered music has a more serious and spiritual tone to it that almost makes it uplifting. Too bad in the super-special edition the scene is ruined by the ghost of Hayden Christensen.

Well then, how about the yub-yub song with Hayden. That would be a comical moment and therefore a happy ending alright. And Lando looks a little like he's laughing, too.

Hayden and that, mood music (mind you, anything's an improvement) together justs kicks up disgust and makes me want to spit. And turn my head, quickly before they show that lucky s.o.b.'s name!

putting HC at the end of return of the jedi's is possibly the worst thing ever in a star wars film, it completely takes you out the film as well make you think of the prequels.

I have to admit, I like the new song in Jabba's Throne room in Return. The old one actually embarassed me enough to admit I wasn't a Star Wars fan to my friends. It didn't even sound alien like the music in the cantina, just like some crappy cheesy 80's aerobic dance. At least in the SE it sounded a little more alien, even with the added muppet singing. And the song at the end definitely is an improvement from the ear shattering Yub Yub. The changed music is one of the few good choices Lucas made for the SE's.

Of course I have to hold my head high with the replacement of the yub-yub song.

But after faithfully attending the three re-introductions in '97, our group was deflated when it came to that part. We'd just been gleefully singing it at the snack bar, for goodness sake. Yet lucas changed that part and I understood it as an improvement. But my childish association of the movie had been forcibly erased in an unsettling way.

I agree that Lapti Nek is a HORRIBLE song. Also, it WAS a workout song. It was sung by the Huttese equivalent of Olivia Newton John wearning leg warmers. And the translated lyrics are actually about working out:

Huttese

A long time ago ... er, the eighties... in a galaxy far, far away....

[Paladin]

And I thought that that song was just a bunch of gibberish words that sound nice! :x

[Helena]

Well, I wouldn't mind the new ending to RotJ, except that it seems ridiculous that we see everyone celebrating on Coruscant. I know the Rebels have dealt the Empire a severe blow, but surely it wouldn't just collapse altogether within five minutes of the Death Star's destruction? There must still be millions of Imperial troops and officers around the galaxy, and presumably they must have had some kind of contingency plans for the event of the Empreor's death. I have a feeling that the war would go on for quite a lot longer than this.

I'll be covering all that in my review. Look for it next Monday on Lance & Eskimo.

[Paladin]

Not just that, but why would the Imperial forces just surrender immidately after the Rebels blew up the Death Star and took the Emperor with it? Even though the Rebels are apparently outfighting the Imperials, the imps STILL have a major numerical advantage over them.

[Despondent]

You know, like in the Wizard of Oz when the witch of the west goes down. All her bad guys wipe their eyes and la la la. But this time, no Abu Gharib charges, ok?

[Just your average movie goer]

Chefelf - the reasons to hate the DVD edition of Return of the Jedi are coming? For real?

Mate, we've all been hanging out for those.

Yay!
