Hopefully because that scene was terrible. In RotJ, Jabba is huge and stationary. Then in the inserted scene in ANH, he's small and moving around. I guess he could have grown bigger, but no explanation was given, so at the time, it just looked sloppy. However, I haven't seen how they redid it, so I can't really comment on that.

With the young Anakin replacing the old one as a ghost on the DVD version, all I can say as a collector is: "I'll be buying some more VCDs (these have the old Sebastian Shaw ghost) now since their sell value will go up."

Do you think that Lucas will never release the Original Original trilogy on dvd (or whatever the current pop format is at the time) ever?

Well that's a shame. Except for seeing part of the originals on TV, I haven't really seen the original originals.
I first saw the 1997 SE Star Wars trilogy and bought those videos. I'm trying to get those LD rips so I can see it how everyone saw the movies when they were first released. Already got the original "A New Hope"

As for the whole new Emperor-Vader scene in ESB, it is unfortuante, but it makes sense the way that Lucas wants the films to be viewed.
He wants people to see the films 1-6 not 4,5, 6 , 1, 2,3. In Ep 3 we do see Anakin become Vader, put on the Vader suit, etc. For those who watch it 1-6, they will have no mention of any "anakin" in ep 4. When the emperor says that "luke is the son of Anakin Skywalker," they will immediately know that Vader is Lukes father. They still find out in the same movie, just at a different spot.

Lief, I would personally start with 4-6. Then possibly go 1-6...
I am not exactly a fan of the new movies , but I believe there are few... cinematical experiences akin to what one can get out of watching the original trilogy through. One of my friends had never seen them before and somehow had not known anything about them, and watching her watch the three movies, and seeing her absolute shock at learning who Luke's father was, and her relief at finding out that the Han-Leia-Luke dynamic was not so impossible or complicated... It's an experience I would not want to take away from anyone.

How old are your children going to be before they see the films, though? Younger viewers, I believe tend to like the prequels at least as much as the originals.

You're talking about showing your children movies... that's why I thought you were older! Is there something I should know, Lief...?
Maybe so. But my other argument still stands. To me, it seems that the originals are meant to be watched first. This is, btw, a sad debate.

I do think I agree with you though that a later viewer, an adult or teenager or something who has somehow managed to never see Star Wars, should probably start with the Original Series.

And how old you are, you geezer. When we first saw the trilogy, my brother and I were so young that we get half of it wrong. I thought that Alderaan was Earth, for example, and he thought that the battle in the first Death Star between stormtroopers and Our Heroes took place on top of two buildings... Weird... Hm. Why do they need to be shown the prequels first? Unless you made a typo above, you just said that they enjoy the Original Series at a young age. Why not just show that? New movies optional afterwards.

Because for someone younger, watching the whole thing in an arch would in my opinion be more enjoyable. They would be seeing all the connections, all the interworkings. In their opinions, the prequel series would be just as good as the original series. Possibly better! I know that if I liked the prequels all just as much as the originals, I would wish to have seen them in that order also. Maybe that's just me, but in my opinion, the prequels would be enjoyed as much as the originals by the younger audience, and thus seeing the whole thing in the epic arch George Lucas is seeking to make it into would be an amazing experience.

Well. Then it looks like we have two choices.
1) Show children all 6 in their chronological order at a young age and possibly ruin the extra appeal of the original trilogy. 2) Wait until the children are somewhat older and let them see the original trilogy, spoilers or no. Perhaps they wouldn't get the same enjoyment out of the new movies (if any at all), but hey; no big loss, at least in my mind. Or is there a third choice I'm missing?
