Ya, I agree with Greg's post too, mostly, but I'm curious about the Greedo part:

I loved the original trilogy. I was 14 in May of 77 (has it been that long?), and remember that film fondly. I liked what Lucas did in 97 when he remade them, except for one thing. He should have kept the scene where Han Solo shot Greedo. Adding that part where Greedo's hand comes out with a bLaster still doesn't sit with me. I know since ROTJ he's dumbed down the storylines to cater to children or the really geeky nerds, but I wish he would have left that particular scene alone in the special edition.

My memory was that he had levelled a bLaster at Han in the original film, too. Han just shot him under the table while acting like he was talking to him.

I thought most of the the "remake" additions were bad, actually - stupid flying little robots in Mos Eisley streets that were obviously not there, and not seen by anyone, and so on. I thought the Death Star explosion was NOT improved by adding one of those stupid 2-dimensional fireworks rings - that explosion could have been made better, like with some really good CGI that added debris and stuff, but the old "ring of silliness" effect? The only additions I remember liking were the scene with the saurian-rider stormtroopers, and the scene with Han Solo and Jabba. Oh, I guess the added gobs of storm troopers in the Han Solo chase were comical, too, though it was already a funny enough scene without them.
