A Comprehensive List of Changes in the Star Wars Blu Ray Collection


Last Friday saw the release of the Star Wars Blu Ray collection, otherwise known as the “Super Special Editions”. Using 2011 technology, George Lucas has finally been able to bring the films in line with his original vision. As you can imagine, the new effects blend seamlessly with movies that are 30 years old. As a rabid and unemployed Star Wars fan, I have spent the last several weeks selling my plasma/mouth to gain the funds necessary to purchase the set during the September 16th midnight release. This past weekend, I watched a twelve hour marathon of the entire series whilst wearing my Boss Nass cosplay gear and huffing computer duster. Many of the changes and additions will be obvious to diehard fans, but others are more subtle. For the sake of less eagle-eyed viewers than myself, I have included a comprehensive list of all of the new scenes and effects. I think that we can all agree that all of these changes significantly improve the movies.
