I'm a big fan of Star Wars I met some the actors, I subscribe to Star Wars Insider, I also dress-up as Darth Vader and visit sick kids in the hospital every Christmas and give Star Wars figures! But my only one gripe is the Stars Wars Special Edition on DVD and in Theaters. There number 1 gripe Han shot first scene I loved scene it reminded me of the movie A Fist Full of Dollars when Clint Eastwood shot the guy in the bathtub before he shot him. But now they Fucked it all up and made Greedo shot first before Han. Why they did this well George Lucas didn't want Han to a badass to childern out there yeah right I know some bad role models one of them is Eric Cartman! Number 2 gripe The Wampa scene this scene I always liked because it the monster even more scary when they didn't show it, because it paints the imagination on what the monster is, like the monster that ate R2-D2 in Dagobah, Now in the Special Edition you see what the monster looks like which is a total let down if you tell me! Number 3 gripe The Jabba the Hutt dance Band this really was a piece of shit In the original Return of the Jedi you see a real good puppet performance of Jabba's Band which I like. Now they Fucked it up in The Special Edition the made by making it into a music video I really didn't like it. Final Gripe, I saved the best for last at The end of Return of the Jedi they show (spoiler), Obi-wan Kenobi, ( Sir Alec Guinness), Yoda ( Frank Oz), and human Anikin Skywalker( Seabation Shaw) in their spirit forms. Now this Star Wars Sacrilige the put instead of Sebation Shaw, they put in Hayden Christianson and they even put his face in the unmasking of Darth Vader now that brings my piss to a boil! But was some things I liked in the Star Wars Special Edition and that is in Episode IV: A New Hope they added footage at Mos Eisley the had Jabba the Hutt looking for Han Solo before he takes off in the Millennium Falcon that was the only scene in the Star Wars Special Edition I liked. All-in-all I pick The unaltered version of The Star Wars over the Special Edition any day because it was not that special! But I will always be a Star Wars fan (or as we are called a StarWoid) for life. Like Yoda said "Beware Anger, Fear, Agression, The Dark of the Force" and that what the Special Edition is the Dark Side of The Star Wars movies. Any way "May the Force be With You!"
