is this the edition with the redone special effects?
Tweaks and Shrieks As with many restorations made with the cooperation of living directors, the “Star Wars Trilogy”introduced content changes, mandated by Lucas, to conform narrative and look and feel in the original trilogy with characters and visuals introduced in the later films. Some were controversial with fans.Jim Ward deflates the issue by scaling the controversy: “At the end of the day an artist has a right to do what he wants to do to his work. For many years, George has worked to achieve the original vision he couldn’Äôt achieve in 1977 or in 1997 (Special Edition).
So it makes maybe a good headline, but it’Äôs hardly a controversy. We sold over $100 million in one day of this DVD around the world, so I don’Äôt think anybody’Äôs too upset about it. And any changes that George made, they might be controversial to about 5 people.”
This edition is even FURTHER redone from the 1997 "Special Edition" re-releases. Save your money; go to an online auction site and find the Laser Disc releases of the classic film as we all remember it.
