On Sept 21, the "original" Star Wars trilogy comes to DVD. These aren't quite the same movies we first saw more than 25 years ago. They're not even exactly the same as the ones we saw in the 1997 re-releases. Lucas has continued to tinker with the movies to bring them more in line with his vision and to bridge the continuity of the current trilogy, as can be seen in this revised final shot from Return of the Jedi below.
Hey, what happened to the old guy?!
Other changes include another reworking of the controversial Han vs. Greedo scene from the Episode IV. Now they shoot at the same time!
The Digital Bits does a
side-by-side comparison of the changes between the 1997 Special Editions and the 2004 DVD release.
USA Today also published two articles: one on the
changes to the movies and another on the
bonus materials.

Interesting. That does seem a little weird how different Ben looks. Lucas and company should have stayed with the original look. The older looking Ben. I'm so liking your blog. Finally a true geek out there in BlogWorld. No offense to the term "Geek". It wasn't derogatory in nature, but to imply an abundancce in knowledge in a specific subject. Hopefully, I get the DVD collection with the enhanced graphics and sound.
