Jedi was cool w the forest, and yeah Jabba's stuff was cool.
But Darth Vader should've been James Earl Jones, or a crazy half robot half person, not just some pasty little guy in the suit.

Liked the Ewoks as a kid though, the Ewok movies got a lot of replay. A large part of what makes them tolerable is not speaking English.

I haven't watched any of these films in about 15 years, but that blue elephant thing from Return of the Jedi is still my favourite character from Star Wars (I'm sure it has a name, but I prefer to think of it as 'that blue elephant thing')

The Palpatones were a band formed from three former members of the Max Rebo Band, which split shortly after death of Jabba the Hutt, with whom they had been in an exclusive contract. Their name was a portmanteau on Palpatine and the word "tone".

The first Star Wars films I saw were the re-releases in 97. I think overall they are better than the original versions, including the ROTJ songs, from what I've seen on youtube.

Chimp-eyed woman totally creepier. The old dialogue is also more vague, and therefore more interesting.

More obvious Vader and Palps are bullshitting each other in second version.

So I downloaded ROTJ blu-ray (15 gb) and the despecialized version (15 gb). I have them running side-by-side.
The color difference is remarkable. The official version has so much magenta where red should be and bluish-white where white should be. Human skin looks like everyone took a bath in hot water.

Ultimately it comes down to people's saturation preferences but tv's do that on their own nowadays. You can switch tv display to movie, livid, sports, etc.That's why vanilla might be the way to go.
― The Once-ler, Monday, 26 October 2015 22:24 (eight years ago) link
honestly it all depends on the scene. some scenes look better specialized and some despecialized
― The Once-ler, Monday, 26 October 2015 22:31 (eight years ago) link
Okay, this is the 4th post in a row but the despecialized version looks way better than the official blu-ray in most cases.

― schwantz, Monday, 26 October 2015 23:09 (eight years ago) link
In that scene, Palpatine played on the sympathies of Anakin to cut Windu’s hands off so he could toss Windu out the window.
In this scene, Luke plays his dad in the exact same way to toss the emperor into the abyss. Ahh symbolism.
Screaming in pain and begging for help while being tortured = "playing" his dad?

― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Tuesday, 27 October 2015 02:44 (eight years ago) link
I do like the idea of Luke being a fallen Jedi, but to claim that he ends ROTJ having given in to the dark side is a stretch. It doesn't make sense for the movie to end with a big celebration if Luke has turned to the dark side. A level of irony would have to be operating that never otherwise occurs in Star Wars.
I also don't see that there are any serious problems with the obvious interpretation, that he's succeeded at the last moment in stepping back from temptation. If the temptation continued to haunt him and he eventually succumbed, that would be a nice twist.

imo the "I will finish what you started" line from the trailer most likely refers to Vader's day job of killing the rest of the jedi
small chance that the task at hand is "finish turning Luke to the dark side"
― μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 27 October 2015 14:25 (eight years ago) link
I love the idea of Luke being the ultimate baddie of the new trilogy, not sure Disney has the balls for that though.
