Which sucks the most?










Some of these changes are tolerable, but Jedi Rocks haunts me.

The ending of ROTJ. Yub Nub was perfect, the terrorists had a little celebration on Endor while the Empire continued to exist. Sure they killed the Emperor, Vader, and defeated the 501st, but that only leaves 99.99% of the empire still around and in power. Made abosutly no sense that the entire galaxy celebrated openly.

Anakin's force ghost actually creates a plot hole. Why does Anakin de-age 20 years as a ghost but Obi-Wan and Yoda appear exactly as when they died?

The rest are stupid changes that didn't need to happen, but none of them actually harm the story like Anakin's force ghost does. And in actual fact Boba Fett's voice actor actually closes a plot hole since he's a clone of Jango he should have the same voice.

Vader going "no...NOOOOO" when he picks up Palpatine and chucks him down the shaft really rubs me the wrong way. It really takes away a lot of the power of that scene.

CG fleet scenes outside Yavin.
There's been three or four revisions of "Special Edition", yet the CG still looks terrible in comparison to the model work soon after.

Oh that. I didn't know it had a name.

One of the least offensive changes IMO. Still sets up more or less the same atmosphere, it's just mildly annoying.

Exactly. No galaxy-spanning military-industrial power is going to collapse overnight just because the top two guys are dead. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of high-ranking people who believe in those ideals and will fight to keep their places. Palpy and Vader dying (not to mention the Death Star going kaboom) would certainly give the Rebellion a big shot in the arm, but it's not gonna lead to immediate regime change.

I understand why they changed it, but they didn't need to. Bounty hunting is a dangerous profession, maybe he suffered some kind of throat injury that altered his voice, or he was using a voice changer, who knows?

The most horrible of the horrible. Heavily reduces the dramatic power of that scene, because if you've never seen it before, right up until Vader ducks out of frame you're wondering "Is he going to...?"

Besides probably the outrider, that's kind of cool, but definitely not worth the rest.

That's the worst imo. It goes on for way too long and you could cut it out of the movie and nothing would have changed.

The ship is canon sadly, not the pilot.

I'd love it if Disney did a SotE multimedia project like Lucasfilm did over 20 years ago. A game, and either a movie or TV series on Disney+.

That's fucking redundant but I also know what their hypothetical plan would be knowing Disney...

"(Shades) of the Empire" starring (Flash Rengar), who teams up with CGI Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and CGI Leia and later joins the rebels to thwart (King) (Phizor)'s plan to undermine Vader's role with Palpatine. A unique, original Star Wars story from the unique and original storytellers at Lucasfilm/Disney get hyped yo!

Because it makes no sense. If Anakin really was redeemed by killing Palpatine, then he was Anakin when he died, so why did he look like Anakin before he became Vader?

IIRC he still lived after the Skyhook explosion, he let people think he was dead and was just basically laying low.
