Yeah they just did a copy/paste of the door section to widen it, with the dirt and stain marks repeated several times. It's the lamest amateur hack job you can imagine.
What ROTJ did I watch on TNT last night?

Yeah, looks bad and pointless.
Did you see this version someone made that makes it even bigger?

It did sound a lot like the same "Noooo"
Funny you never heard about this... I hadn't seen it til a few months ago, but heard a while back about the changes.
I don't get why people would care about blinking Ewoks... that's one of those little changes that doesn't change character or story...
The digital rock in front of R2 was a boggling.... *shakes head*

Me too. The last versions I've seen are the 2004 dvd's. I can't deal with anymore pointless changes.
I don't have the Blu Ray and never read about it. That's why I'm so traumatized! I should have been prepared for that.

I think you're mixing up two different commenters here. I knew about the Nooooo thing and the R2 rock from following the changes on this board. Beyond that, I don't recall a lot of the changes, other than that they apparently fixed their ****up with the swapped rear channels in the 5.1/6.1 mix from the DVD.
Yup I did... I was going to correct but got distracted and instead spent the last 2 hours killing my brain cells reading twitter comments.
I should have just corrected myself. I'm now dumber for it.
EDIT: Sorry, I was too quick on the reply because I had just seen this video today and thought it was hilarious. Didn't realize it was already posted a few back.
oh well, here it is again

It was that ONE part that crossed the line with the Vader "No.... NOOO!!!" near the end as to why I just can't watch that version. I own the Blu-Rays, but I cannot watch ROTJ hearing that part, so I always put on the despecialized ROTJ. At least then they still have Lapti Nek and a beakless Sarlaac still intact.
Just atrocious what they did to the latest release of ROTJ.

I haven't watched a special edition since I went and saw the first ones in the theater in 1997.
I hated them.
My girlfriend-at-the-time bought me the gold box set on VHS, but I couldn't watch them without becoming violently irate.
They're gone now. I don't know where they went. Hopefully I burned them in a drunken rampage.

My parents still own the original VHS box set. My Mom said she'll happily keep those. I bet they have deteriorated pretty badly by now.
When did the Blu Ray version come out? Was it while Lucas was still in there?
It might. I have the pan and scan version (didn't know any better back in 97...), but I haven't tried them. I had a making of ROTJ VHS tape and years ago I tried to let my nephew watch it and it was all static.

And George says, "Jawas are suppose to have 6 eyes."
"Luke was hiding, but I didn't think he was hiding good enough, so we added a rock to make it more real."
"Anakin was too old for this shot, so we decided to go even younger."

Making Ewoks great again
Adding the blinking was really necessary :rolleyes because viewers of Return of the Jedi, kept asking why Wicket and the other Ewoks would have this 24/7 staring contest, with everyone around them :rolleyes :wacko
I heard rumors he wants to go back and replace the enemy planes in Red Tails with tie-fighters......
:lol :lolNot really but it wouldn't really surprise me.
September 2011, over half a decade ago. Time for yet another special edition *sigh* :facepalm
Some of the changes I like, some I am neutral with, others are abominations that totally ruin the scene or pacing
The Vader No in Return of the Jedi had to be one of the most egregious ones. The power behind the shot of Vader looking back and forth between the Emporer and Luke was perfect to show the conflict in Vader. The "No" turned the entire thing into a bad joke.

When they released the trilogy on DVD around 2006 (I think) they had a "bonus" disc with each movie that had the original theatrical versions included. That was the last time I bought it. I think they tweaked some colors but other than that it is exactly the same as the THX digital re-mastered release, no blinking ewoks or Noooo!
I am still happy with this one.
