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 (nine 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 (nine 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.

I could sorta see this. The type of twist that JJ Abrams could get into...
― schwantz, Monday, 26 October 2015 23:09 (nine 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?

I got the despecialized version last night as well. Watched "Star Wars". Wow - looks amaaaazing.
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Tuesday, 27 October 2015 02:44 (nine 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 (nine 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.

Most Mark Hamill's best-known post-SW roles have been bad guys (The Joker, Ozai, Trickster, etc), so it'd be cool to see him play an evil Luke.

My wild-ass guess is that Luke Skywalker is actually going to be dead in this movie's continuity, and any scenes in which Mark Hamill appears will be flashbacks.

After the final scene, the camera pulls back to reveal that the entire movie has been projected on Luke Skywalker's bare ass.

honestly, a lot of things will be pretty spelled out by mid-december. it looks like they're holding back a bunch of toys and assorted items for the last release of merchandise due to the fact the packaging will spoil plot points.
looks like the ebook version of the novelization is released the same day as the film
