I've complained somewhat, but honestly.. the movies are his creation, his property, his vision, and like it or not, he can change them however he wishes.

Heck, if I had made the movies and owned them, I'd probably tweak them myself. So it goes..

One thing that sticks out like a sore thumb is the "Han goes off into blizzard to find Luke" scene. One of the techs in the hangar supposedly said "It's colder than hell out there, sir" or something like that, to which Han replies "Then I'll see you in hell!"

Problem is, the tech's leading line got cut in the original release, and wasn't fixed in the editing years later. So it seems like Han is swearing at him, rather than giving a flip retort. This bugs me.

The rest of the changes, yeah, it's Lucas's movie, it's his to change. But an obvious problem like that was missed, which is a pity. It would have been like leaving that car in the background at Hobbiton.

Oh I'd make lots of changes.. :-)

I'd probably even have an explanation like those dumbass midichlorians... except.. I wouldn't have bothered to explain it to the audience. Stuff like that should just STAY behind the scenes most of the time.

The mystery is better.

I'd make changes, oh yes I would.

1) KILL THE EWOKS!
2) hire a decent scriptwriter
3) hire a decent director
4) KILL THE EWOKS!
5) omit all references to Jar-Jar and Space AIDS (excuse me, midichlorians)
6) KILL THE EWOKS!
etc...

And you forgot on your list that Han shot first. ;)
