Lucas changes around Star Wars movies yet again.
hypernova:
I love the Star Wars movies, for the most part.
I probably never would have noticed the blinking thing. I also probably never would've noticed the different Obi-Wan call. I only watch these movies once a decade or so, so I'm not that knowledgeable about the intricacies of them. Heck, I never would've realized that Han originally shot first (and he still does NOT in the blu-rays), because I've only seen the originals once or twice as a kid.
But I'm fairly certain I would've noticed the "No" addition. It's not like adding in that sound was difficult in the original edit of the film. Why does he wait until now to do it? We are accustomed to no voice. Why risk it?
Someone needs to hire a psychologist to get to the bottom of why he keeps doing this crap.
Our only recourse is to NOT BUY THEM.
SavannahLion:
From what I understand, that ---uvula--- has been ---smurfing--- with his movies from day one. There a pretty decent site that documents the know changes of the film while in theaters and across the numerous releases over the years. Greedo shooting first is what probably brought these changes to the forefront of the pblic in general and not in obscurity only to be known by the most dedicated of fans.
There's a pretty good comment in that link. Lucas has lost touch with the audience. Clearly evident with Jar Jar Binks and Indiana IV.
Quite honestly he's not the artist he fancies himself but some retarded ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- resting on his laurels instead of expanding his universe. Granted, they're pretty damn good laurels but damn, let's move it along. Where is the promised episodes 7, 8, and 9? How about an Avatar killer? Kind of sad some glorified Smurf film makes a bazillion dollars overnight all because the guy wet his dick with Titanic.
Generic Eric:
He's not done editing the vader scene until he ends up with this:

Kinda sad isn't it........as the chroma noise drives me nutz now with my laserdisc collection. :angry:
That being said....it's the only version I'll watch cuz they aren't hosed with more stupidity. There was enough stupidity before the changes. :D
Howard_Casto:
MOST of those changes are pretty valid.
The final sequence of IV was always a bit off to me. I got what it was TRYING to get across, namely that Vader was silently struggling with his emotions as the Emperor shocked his son. What it actually looked like though was a guy in a mask getting a close up when it was obvious that he didn't know what lines they were going to dub in and thus his body actions didn't match the dialog or shots. Now it looks like they sped it up a little to fix that. Although to be prefectly honest the first "no" sounded a little off.
I don't get the sand-people call thing.
The ewoks had some pretty cheap masks, so some blinking is nice, BUT those cgi blinks look fake as hell... I hope that isn't the final version.
Now as for the Yoda thing, that's completely uncalled for. Everybody knows that puppets (It's Frank Oz, so is yoda a muppet??) are better than cgi. And just look at the result in the clip. While the cg version is certainly a little more expressive, it looks like a fake as hell cgi character instead of yoda.
