Star Wars: The Special Edition
In 1997 Star Wars: The Special Edition was released - here's our take
1997
Well, it was great to see the Star Wars trilogy in the theaters. I loved the first one and thought that Empire was great but what happened to the Return of the Jedi? It seems to me like they butchered it. Too much special effects and not enough of the plot. That singing bit in Jabba's palace was kinda stupid. The original song was fine. I liked how they showed Boba Fett more in all three of them but he didn't really do much. This leads me to the next question, what is so special about the Special Edition? Nothing, except for that it is on a big screen. The big screen makes the movie about 100% cooler. With the exceptions of the complete and utter assholes that think they are superior to younger people because they saw the originals in theaters the movies were great. I didn't see that guy at the opening of Jedi but still, buddy, if you are reading this (he wasn't) you had better not send any mail with a return address on it (he didn't) because I will hunt you down like the animal that you are... (no I would do no such thing - such a tough guy...) Thank you for wasting your time on this article.
