Posted August 31, 2011 06:59 PM by Matthew Smith
Lucasfilm put an end to rumors today surrounding a line of dialogue added to the Blu-ray release of Return of the Jedi. For those unaware of the controversy, YouTube videos began circulating yesterday that revealed inserted audio of Darth Vader screaming "No!" as he saves Luke from Emperor Palpatine during the film's climactic ending battle. This video was accompanied by another from Episode IV which shows that Obi-Wan's Krayt Dragon call used to frighten the Sand People has also been altered.
According to the NY Times, a press representative from Lucasfilm has confirmed the addition of Vader's dialogue by responding in an email, "Yes — Darth says NO." While the many other changes that have surfaced in the past few days were not addressed, Matthew Wood of Skywalker Sound said that fans should be prepared for more alterations. Speaking to IGN during last week's press presentation, Wood stated, "Every time we watch the movies he's got something he wants to change... And so there's obviously changes done to the films, visually as well as audio-wise. So there are some changes in the Blu-ray version that you'll have to find."
Other changes that have been discovered include CGI inserted blinking eyes for the Ewoks in Return of Jedi and the replacement of the Yoda puppet with a CGI version in Episode I. Below is a round-up of the YouTube clips that are currently circulating the web. Additionally, the debut of the Star Wars Saga on Blu-ray is creeping closer with the September 16th release date just a bit over 2 weeks away.

He has to know everyone thinks he's an a-hole at this point. He should go back and put Jar Jar Binks in all the other movies to make nerd heads explode.
