So, I gave in to Lucas and bought the new Star Wars DVD collection. I happened to notice a few things.

Luke's lightsaber changes colors. When Ben gives him "his father's lightsaber" at the beginning of A New Hope, it's blueish white.

But later, when Luke is training on the Millenium Falcon, it's green.

When Obi-Wan is fighting Darth Vader, his saber is a deep blue. Where did the green saber come from?

Also, in Return of the Jedi, there is a wardrobe malfunction. During the Jabba the Hut scene - Jabba starts to pull his green dancer towards him and her boob pops out.

It was fun to watch the movies again, but Damn! Lucas sure made a lot of changes. I'm with those folks who want the originals back.

I'm pretty disappointed in the Hayden C. scene at the end of ROJ. Luke had never seen young Anakin's face before, and he shows no interest in seeing his father as a young man for the first time.

The new emporer does a good job. Most of Lucas's changes I didn't have a problem with. But there's absolutely no excuse for the Greedo scene. It still sucks.

All in all - wide screen format, big tv, surround sound - it was a fun ride and worth the $40, in my opinion.

Maybe the Green Saber is just a training saber?
Also, I like boobs and believe they should be supported, in general.
As for the changes in SW trilogy, some added scenery changes and explosion effects are fine, anything beyond wasn't.

The lightsaber thing is odd, but wasn't Oola's nipple-slip there originally?

Or have people been referring to some other scene all these years?

Actually, I assumed both scenes were there originally. I had just never noticed them before.

Are you saying the green saber is new? Or has Luke's saber always switched colors? I'm surprised Lucas didn't fix that.

I'd say the different lightsaber's are a case of different FX people not talking to each other.

My other beef about version 3.0 is, while the black space is better that the dark brown of old - why couldn't they fix it on the tie-fighters? There are these brown squares attacking the millenium falcon! Irritating.

The improvements on Senior the Hutt are nice-ish but not really that great.

I'm glad to see the back of one-eyed-betty from Empire though. That googley eye was just stupid looking.

And Hayden at the end..... I don't know what to think right now - if Revenge of the Sith is good than I'll like it. If Revenge of the Sith is shit then I won't.

I thought I noticed the boob slip but I didn't feel compelled to pan and scan.

Heard that scene whilst walking through a shop and instantly hated it.

For those who haven't seen the new edition, let me paraphrase.

"Vader?"
"Yes boss?"
"That Luke lad, looks a lot like Anakin Skywalker doesn't he?"
"Nah..."
"Search your feelings Lord Vader, you know it to be true" (okay, that last bit is a sickening quote)

Almost as sledgehammer subtle as the two sweeps and a close up of the Death Star plan in AOTC.

Why does it have to be subtle?

I haven't seen the DVDs yet, but I pulled out my VHS copies of the original trilogy and watched EP 4 tonight. The light-sabre Luke uses in Obi-Wan's hut and the Falcon training scene is a pale washed-out blue, similar to 'Tash's first screen cap. The green light-sabre therefore must be an intentional screw-up, so that George Lucas has something ELSE to fix when the full 9-episode saga is released on Movie-Chips in 2023.

Don't you people know?!?!?
It's the midichlorians that determine the color of
a Jedis light saber! That's why Samuel L. Jacksons'
is Purple! Coz he's all grooovaay n stuff! Light
saber colors can change with your mood because the midichlorians eminate your force/mood vibe! It's a
70's thing! Get with it people!
Midichlorians and the fact that Lucas is a sad old
racist hack tweaker biatch!!
PLUS! It's all lies anywayy!!!!
