-removed yub nub from the final scene in Jedi and added the current beautiful score that is played now

Sammy enjoyed the original ending, I've yet to tell her about Hayden Christensen's cameo, though. Perhaps I never shall.

The saddest part of adding a great finale score to that scene is, of course, they had to add extraneous bullshit. The galaxy celebrating doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and don't get me started on the inclusion of hayden. Speaking of, it's a little strange to have older Anakin there all cleaned up and not disfigured considering he didn't really exist in adulthood without the suit.

Final takeaways:

Sammy loved C-3PO and R2 the most. It's funny to think that C-3PO was considered the Jar Jar of the time by some. He has a lot of charm in the first two films.

That is funny, showed my sister the OT in this past viewing run, and C3PO irked her throughout. But, unlike jar jar, she was worried for him when he got blown to bits. He's annoying, but ultimately charming.

I've been spoiled by Tartakovsky and Blur's takes on lightsaber battles. The duels in the films are much slower and simple. One of the few things that Return of the Jedi did better than the other films, though. I loved Luke's Lightsaber battle with Vader at the end there. The prequels had terrible super-choreographed fights that tended to drag on lifelessly (and don't get me started on Revenge of the Sith's stupid half-hour battle).

Yea, I do love the OT duels, mainly for what's at stake in each. I imagine the choreography of the PT would have more value to it if anything at all was at stake. I appreciate it a lot more now when someone gets involved in a fight completely or somewhat untrained. Wildly swinging and shooting, not really knowing what they are doing. (i.e. heroes in TFA)

Sammy's first comment when the credits rolled on RotJ: "All of the old people died!" *cries*

They have a tendency to do that...

What'd you and Sammy think of TFA?
