Don't you mean the Pleiades. 
what does everyone think of the extra scenes in the rehashes of IV V & VI? worth the effort? adds to the plot? Waste of celuloid?

Do not mock the Basque Ewoks 
Extra scenes? Good cosmetics, nice touch.

I was cool with all the extra scenes until the very last seen where they plugged in the young Anakin. Being as a can't stand the actor that they chose for him, I was appalled. At least they didn't kick Guiness for MacGrego.

I didn't really like that they replaced Sebastian Shaw with Hayden "Emokin Skywalker" Christensen either.

I love them all, but...............wait for it...........I love Episode 1 best. I thought I was the only one who loved the prequels best. I'm a big fan of Liam Neeson, and I loved his role as Qui - gon - Ginn .

I'd personally love to see episodes IV-VI completely redone, with new (better) actors, and a better story line which links it with I-III more. Things that were left out of IV-VI which I think would make the story more interesting (Anakin/Vader as the Chosen One, more focus on Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine - in the original trilogy, Yoda and Ben act like defeating Vader is all Luke has to do to bring down Palpatine and they both should know better than that, eliminate plot errors such as "I don't remember ever owning a droid", have more on the force ghost thingy and why Anakin is able to perform such a feat and so on). In other words, focus more on the things that make the star wars prequels so great and less on the things that make the original trilogy not so great (giant superweapons and lots of space battles - boring!).

Okay, well, I'm one of those people who think OT shouldn't be tampered with anymore. Most of the changes made were okay, with some exceptions, but in the end Lucas is the boss.

Andora is Star Trek, dude. |
Actually, Star Trek is Andoria.  |
I thought she was the Mother-in-law in Bewitched.  |
Isn't Andorra a country in Europe? (The Empire Strikes back is Where it's at!)

I was 15 years old when I saw The Empire Strikes Back. I was in Chicago and my English wasn't that good, so I missed a lot of what it was all about. I liked the movie, I liked the robots and the laser fights and all, but when I saw the Return Of The Jedi in the Netherlands I really got into the Star Wars thing. Other Star Wars movies never had that much of an impact on me, though part 4 (Star Wars) and The Empire Strikes Back come close.

some of the new scenes were OK, the little things, but the new Greedo/Han scene sucks.. he's Han Solo, if he wanted to shoot someone he did it... and the new Jaba scene was absolutely moronic with Han 'stepping over' the tail... no, I don't think so

I only know them with the new scenes...I mean, I've seen the originals, but that was so long ago and I don't remember. I've come to embrace and cherish the stupitidy of those scenes  But seriously, they're not bad.

ooo this poll is sweet as it signals PA is only one step away from a "favorite HP Lovecraft novel poll"! 
That being said, all the movies were better than most movies ever. I'd probably say the 5th (2nd?) whatever it be called, ESB.
again with the that being said, the cantina scene is one of the coolest scenes ever (music is still stuck in my head as I speak)

Dude totally, Han Solo was a Mercenary and that's what they do. I refuse to ever watch a new hope again because of this. South Park totally hit the nail on the head with the episode where they try to stop Lucas and Spielberg from ruining Raiders Of The Lost Arc. Man if Indiana in the new movie doesn't pull a gun out and shoot someone...... Oh, I still have my old VHS copy of Star Wars that I bought before they new hoped it up, I'll never part with it. To me, that was, is and always will be Star Wars.

5 > 6 = 4 > 3 > 2 > 1
Yeah, I'm not going to go nuts debating 4 or 6. I know most people prefer 1 to 2, but I don't for some reason.

Because, clearly, if any other actor was picked for the part, they would have had a totally different personality...

Easily the return of the Jedi! The most progressiveStar wars episode, filled with epic battles and a complex plot.
Episode one is pretty bad, two is better, I liked three a lot, 4 is kinda slow, 5 is really good too.
