Not to mention the fact that Han suddenly jumps a few dozens CMs to his right when Greedo fires. :bangwall:

Good LORD how i loathed the OT changes. A lot of them were unncessary, added little/nothing to the story. And they left out a bunch of stuff that should've been changed. Look at Endor and the bluescreen boxes still around the TIEs at the initial fight!

Or the freaky new music they put in. The first score was awsome, why in hell change it.

Then they retconned the end of Jedi. They removed old Anakin and put in whats his name. There really was no need for that

I was a bit beyond pissed off by it, Deep. What a slap in the face, not to mention nonsensical as all hell!

You know what surprised me? When the rebels view the death star plans, they are this incredibly low resolution crappy computer graphic animation. Stuff that was dated about ten seconds after they did it in the 70s. I thought for sure they would replace that, was quite surprised to see it left intact.
