The Ewoks blink now? This just keeps getting worse. How can Lucas alienate the original fans like this?

Because no one has cut him down...yet.

It just dawned on me. What do you think the odds are that Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett, Commander Cody, Republic Officer 1 - 38, et al) makes an appearance in the original saga? I'll bet it is about the same as the possibility of five central characters successfully navigating an asteroid field.

Topless Robot has pretty extensive clips of the changes.

Or, if you're in the mood for a laugh over the entire sorry affair, there's always this version...

I don't think anyone would much care if he would just release the originals films in relatively untouched form (still gotta get rid of the Emporer's blob though).

Good point. If there was the option to watch the original and the updated versions in the same set or each as a different set, I don't think anyone would be bothered.

Instead, Lucas is hellbent on trying to convince people that he had the idea for the whole entire saga from the very beginning which is something I'll never believe.

I agree, release the original untouched trilogy on blu-ray, I will happily pay for it. I only own that version on VHS and I can't remember how that works, badabum-ching!

And now because laughter eases the pain:
