     Yep, I finally got to see the 'special edition' of Star Wars this
     weekend.

     It was very good, the ending still had me on the edge of my seat even

     though I've seen it several times. Most of the new special effects were

     pretty good. Most of the new scenes were fairly seamless (except a scene

     in the bar at Mos Eisley (sp?), the Jabba scene, and some of the Death
     Star

     sequences). Is it me or did they change the bar scene so that Greedo
     fires

     first? I could swear I heard and saw two blaster shots. And Gorno's
     right

     about the light saber scenes, they could've done some touching up....I

     still saw one scene where Obi Wan seems to be holding just a glass tube!

     "Empire" comes out this weekend doesn't it?

         Yeah, they niceified the scene. In the original Lan shoots Greedo
         under

         the table after Greedo makes it clear that he plans on bringing in
         Han

         dead rather than alive. It WAS FUNNY damnit! In the touched up
         version,

         Greedo fires first, misses, and get shot in return.

         Which in fact he is . . .
