ROTJ Rancor Scene. Very obvious computer generated rancor.
After all these years, I still love Clones

that's still the old stop motion puppet. i believe what they did was just to clean up the matte lines in that scene.

:lol: :lol: but seriously, according to the EU, hutts have sporadic growth cycles & jabba it would seem had his between ANH & ROTJ, thus becoming so bloated

yeah i dislike that very much too. that song's called Jedi Rocks i believe & it sounds quite awful & totally out of place in jabba's palace.

how about the CGI versions of the millennium falcon & x-wing fighters in ANH? i thought they were great additions. does anyone dislike them?

My original copies of Star Wars on video cassettes had long being destroyed by moulds.

The one I dislike most is the Han Solo and Greedo scene. Han Solo should not had been made too heroic. He was not until he met Leia and Han and started to change.

Yes, it was an old version but the impression I got was, it was still not the oldest version available, but a slightly tweaked one. Even the VCD cover pictures are not the old ones. But still, this is the oldest one I had seen so far.
