1.0

  1. Using the PAL laserdisc as an alternate video source (reconverting the frame rate to NTSC); Sebastian Shaw has been reinstated as the ghost of Anakin Skywalker.
  2. Using an imported German language version of the 2004 DVD’s, the audio mix has been modified to remove the last line in the trilogy being uttered by newly added Gungans. Wesa Free from hearing “Wesa Free.” (The stereo track in the Dual-Layer version, the audio comes from the French track on the NTSC DVD.)
  3. And in a change completely unique to this edition, the Special Edition song “Jedi Rocks” has been replaced with the CD-version of “Lapti Nek”, as sourced from the 1993 Anthology Boxed Set. The Special Edition video in this sequence has been re-edited to match the music. ADigitalMan states, “Not only did I grow up with ‘Lapti Nek’ in the movie, but I grew up playing this for five years in the stands at Friday night football games. ‘Lapti Nek’ always had a special place in my heart, so it had to be reinstated”.

  4. A closing montage of all six movies centering around Anakin’s journey takes place after the “other worlds” celebration and before the Ewok celebration. The closing music is replaced with the new variations on the “Force March” (a.k.a. “Throne Room”) as recorded for the closing credits of Revenge of the Sith, which were included on the CD but left out of the movie itself. It finds a new life here.
  5. The shots of Shaw as Anakin’s Ghost have been recomposited and re-aligned for even smoother integration into the film. This actually restores 15 frames to the film that were lost in the PAL/NTSC conversion, re-synching the iris-out to the credits where it should be.
  6. A couple extra Jabba lines are added in during his tussle with Oola during Lapti Nek to improve his lip synchronization.

  1. Sorry, that closing montage is terrible in my opinion. Ruins the pacing of the ending.. really leaves a bad taste in the viewers mouth

  2. The version of Lapti Nek (the song in Jabba’s Palace) included in this version was just wrong. It doesn’t feel any better to the scene than “Jedi Rocks” does. Also, at the end of the day it doesn’t matter anyway what song you put there, whether it’s “Jedi Rocks” or anything else since the stupid and obviously CGI characters are still there. In my opinion, the best way to go would have been to reinstate the original theatrical version of Lapti Nek, including the original muppet-form Sy Snoodles. Taking one of the most annoying parts of the SE trilogy and replacing only the audio just doesn’t cut it.

    Secondly, the closing montage does indeed ruin the pacing of the movie. While watching it, I just kept wondering how much longer it was going to take, and skipped a portion of it out of impatience after a time. I would also have recommended that “Yub Nub” (the Ewok song) have been put back in, but considering most of the Ewok celebration was cut out in favor of the montage, I’m not sure what chance there is of that.
