Here's the Link It also contains a YouTube video of the "leaked" addition. For those curious, effectively it turns Vader's wordless self-sacrifice at the end of Episode VI and gives him Dialogue - him saying "No." I have to honestly ask why? That's one of the pivotal moments of the franchise, and it's made all the more powerful by the fact Vader doesn't choreograph his motivations. For a first time viewer, there's an honest wonder if Vader will intervene on his son's behalf. Him uttering "No." just destroys that. But more to the point...if Lucas has enough time to tinker with pre-established scenes like this, does that mean he's finally gotten around to fixing Obi-Wan's Light Saber effect in Episode IV? That has bugged me since I was a little kid, and despite all the CGI additions and corrections, it's never been fixed. Edited by GC Rust, September 1, 2011, 2:56 pm.

That scene is now ruined, and its one of the most important ones. |

I wanderered in, but I can't wander out until I find the door. Not that I'm looking real hard for it. | |

It's the same callous disregard that destroyed the Jabba's Palace musical number and the Endor Celebration. Not to mention "Han Shot First". Seriously, it's like Lucas is completely ignorant about what was good in the original trilogy. Of course, after the Prequels that's no surprise but still.... |

Don't get me started. I used to love Star Wars, and when Han no longer shot first, I completely disowned the entire franchise. |

And he went an extended the TIE/X-Wing fight in the first movie. It's on YouTube with a side-by-side comparison of the 2004 release. Most of the new effects I have no beefs with (New Holographic Projection of Death Star's course, TIE Fighters arrive in a swarm rather then a squadron), but lengthening the dog fight sequence was pointless. |
