    Never really seen my wife angrier than when we watched the special edition for the first time and Hayden popped up at the end.

    I think her exact words were “what the fuck is he doing there?”

    We only watch the 4K83 version now.

      I’ma Be honest, when I was a Kid this scene really confused me, Who is the old Guy? Why is he here? What did I miss? It wasn’t until I was older I realized JarJar was a Sith.

        Imagine how David Prowse feels. First the voice, then the face.

        His kids must have thought he was full of shit when he told them he played Darth Vader.

      It’s 4K83 different than the despecialized? I have the 720p versions but if they’ve gone beyond that then I need to reeducate myself.

        Mostly colour grading, I think.

        Only downside to 4K77 is the grain in the desert scenes, where they clearly used dogshit stock.

    Wait, is that what the controversy is all about? They just updated the character with the new actor?

    I thought it was more about them putting Vader as redeemable.

      Vader was always there, it was just a matter of him being changed from the original actor to Hayden Christensen because he was more recognizable.

      But in context, it doesn’t seem to make much sense. Why does Darth Vader age down, while Obi Wan is still Alec Guinness instead of Ewan McGregor? If it’s supposed to be reflective of the last time he was “good”, why isn’t it him at the moment he decided to save his son and kill the Emperor?

      The internet. Star Wars fans. Millennials.

      Pick one.

          By my grandfather’s Betamax, Star Wars (IV) does not contain a scene with Jabba the Hutt, and there’s no extra ring when the Death Star explodes, plus all the other nonsense additions.

          As a kid in the 80’s I watched the trilogy on tapes recorded OTA, and got annoyed when the fouled DVD releases started showing up.

    Hey! Nerds! There is ONE Star Wars movie! Only one!

    You can waste time with your ridiculous fan fiction when your chores are done.
