[quote name='SneakyPenguin']why is everyone so against the special editions? ive seen both versions, and its not like et where spielburg took out guns or anything major like that, he added a few scenes that flesh out the story.

I don't mind the SE. I just felt that some of the stuff they added was unnecessary. However, they did clean up a lot of the shots, like you can't see the screens around the TIE fighters, and the Death Star explosion is much bigger. I'm an old-school fan (as I'm sure are many others), but I only like episodes 4-6. I thought they should've been left untouched.
But you're right Sneaky, they aren't that bad. I just liked them "as is". It reflected the time period, gave it a very unique feel to it. But they're still the same movies. I still preordered the set from Amazon, because I've been waiting for a long time for these to come onto DVD.
