Wow! Have these people never seen the originals?

    Thanks. Yeah, I don’t know what all the hullabaloo about “a different movie” would be then. Maybe a pristine print hits a little different and reveals details that make it feel more like what it is, but I tend to agree this is just people with unrealistic expectations of the movie that basically started modern VFX.

    Since you seem to be informed, I have a potential Mandela effect to discuss. I have a distinct recollection of seeing multiple pre-SE versions on TV and/or VHS, but the only difference I remember is that one of them included a few seconds of Threepio explaining the contents of the plans/maps Artoo was downloading in the initial guard room they take over. The dialogue sounded distinctly and sloppily ADR’d. Have you ever heard of anything like that?

      I don’t know about that instance in particular but that’s not to say it didn’t happen. As new sound mixes were created over the first few years, I think different sounds and lines were tinkered with.

      The only one that I definitely know of is during Han and Chewie’s escape from the Death Star.

      You can hear a Trooper shouting “close the blast doors”. Then once they’re closed, a Trooper hurriedly shouts, “open the blast doors, open the blast doors!” I can’t remember which, but one of those two lines was added at a later date, I’m sure.
