I think he should have gone back and done something about the dispicable Wookie racism.
Luke and Han both get
at the end of Episode IV, but Chewbacca doesn't?
That's bullshit.

That's bullshit.

Yeah, I think that there is a change that should have been changed, so to speak.
Instead of having Greedo shoot first, I think he should have just committed suicide. Really. Greedo should have just sat down in the booth, complained to Han about how his job as a bounty hunter sucked, then pulled out his blaster and shot himself in the head. Maybe Lucas can make that change in the next revision.

During the 'thermal detonator' part of Jabba's Palace, Boba Fett's antenna is on the LEFT side of his head.
It is supposed to be on the RIGHT side.
Hoping this gets fixed by 2007.

There's a scene where Luke and Owen are buying the droids that has driven me crazy for years. After R5-D4 blows his motivator, we get a shot of R2-D2 turning his head and R5-D4 is standing right next to him in the background (although he's already been taken away at this point!). It's a repeat of an earlier shot of R2 turning his head. I wish Lucasfilm would digitally remove R5 in the background!

Here's another continuity error that he could probably have fixed. The first pic is the scene with the infamous door where the stormtrooper clunks his head. The reverse shot has the door a few inches higher than it was originally.

Fix Lukes lightsaber color in ANH to make it consistent.
Touch up the lightsabers during the Vader/Obi-wan battle.
Redo the effects inside the rebel base in ROTJ right before they leave for the death star attack. The Falcon and rest of the background are a matte painting and doesn't look realistic at all.

I would love to see a version where all the models, puppets, and matted paintings all removed with CGI. It would be cool to see a "what if.." CGI was in full strenght then...
Plus it would give people more to bitch about.

I haven't watched Return of the Jedi yet, but I never liked that little glob of whatever it was on the Emporer's hood. You know what I'm talking about, it's like a big black worm floating there. Of all the things not to fix how did he say "Yeah that really doesn't look too bad".

It always bothered me that the rebel's Death Star plans were incorrect in A New Hope. The round part for the primary weapon is much lower than it should be. I was suprised when they didn't fix this in 1997. Then Attack of the Clones rolls around which takes place 20 years prior and the plans were perfect so I was certain they would just throw those versions in for the new release. Of course, they still remain incorrect.

There's a scene in Empire Strikes Back that was changed, but not completely.
It's the scene in Cloud City where Lando leads Han into the trap by Darth Vader.
They walk by the wall and it is changed to add the window and the moving elevators. They open the door and Vader is inside.
When the Stormtroopers show up and they are in the background, the window scene is now the way it was before the window was digitally added. It's exactly the same as in the Pre-97 version.

In ANH, before Luke's "What a piece of junk!" line, we see the Falcon in the docking bay, and clearly, they only built one side of the full-size ship on the set. radar dish? Nope, not there. They could have added this digitally, but haven't yet.
Yes, please remove the extra R5-D4 droid shot in ANH. And flip the Boba Fett show in JEDI in Jabba's palace with the visor sighting thing on the wrong side. Actually, there is at least one flipped shot in each movie. Why Lucas does this, I don't know...
Flip the R2-D2 shot when the heros are stepping off the Rebel transport in the Yavin base, just before the next shot of R2 getting plugged up to download the Death Star plans.
They missed those flipped shots, but DID fix the Imperial insignias in that one flipped shot at the end of EMPIRE.
I usually catch these thing on the first viewing, and they drive me crazy.
There's on in the first Spiderman film: Peter looking up at MY on the balcony during the street parade. Peter's hair is parted on the wrong side for just one show.

They should have digitally erased that guy to the left of the screen in the greenish shirt whose back you see walking on the Falcon, obviously a crewmember. It's the very first shot after the stormtroopers see the Falcon fly away from Mos Eisley (55:41). It never bothered me that much before but now the picture is so pristine it's annoying as hell.

One thing I hate is when Luke takes the shuttle as the DS2 is exploding and flies out the hangar, the flame that follow the shuttle looks cheesy. I also think that there needs to be consistent effort in fixing the sabers in ANH. Fix Luke's, Ben's and Vader's. The pop up TIEs in the DS2 battle need fixing too.
And there is also Jedi Rocks....
