It may not count as a 'remake' but those special-editions of 'Star Wars' certainly were re-edited, due to the extremely-outdated special effects that made viewing that movie today laughable.

The special edition versions are laughable.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I will never forgive George for the Greedo-shooting-first affront to God and Man. Yes, I am a geek.

The special edition versions are laughable.

There is an article about the Star Wars Special Edition that I really wish I could find again. It was written well before the release of Star Wars Episode 1 and the author detailed how every change in the special edition made the movie worse. He claimed that George Lucas had forgotten what makes a good movie, and predicted that Episode 1 was really going to suck. At the time I thought he was overreacting.
