Changes

In 2004, the Original Trilogy was released on DVD for the first time, eight months before the release of ''Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith''.  These release featured even more changes.  In ''A New Hope'', Jabba's appearance was altered to look more like he did in ''Return of the Jedi''.  In ''The Empire Strikes Back'', the scene in which Darth Vader talks to the Emperor was altered.  Elaine Baker, who played the Emperor, and Clive Revill, who provided the voice, were replaced with Ian McDiarmid.  McDiarmid played the Emperor in ''Return of the Jedi'' as well as the Prequel Trilogy.  The way the Emperor looks in ''The Empire Strikes Back'' is similar to his appearance in ''Revenge of the Sith''.  The voice of Boba Fett was also changed.  Temura Morrison, who played Jango Fett in ''Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones'', provided the voice.  Out of the three original films, ''Return of the Jedi'' has the most notorious changes.  The first was the inclusion of Naboo in the ending, as well as a Gungan saying "Wesa Free!"  The second was Sebastian Shaw, the actor who played Anakin Skywalker as a force ghost being edited out and replaced with Hayden Christensen.  The reason being that he "died as a jedi" in ''Revenge of the Sith'', hence why he looks the same.

2011 saw the entire saga released on Blu-Ray.  Like the 2004 releases, these films also had significant changes.  The first was the inclusion of rocks in the small cave that R2-D2 was hiding in when they were found by Obi-Wan Kenobi.  Like 2004, ''Return of the Jedi'', once again, had the most talked about changes.  The first was that the eyes of the Ewoks could now blink.  The second, and most controversial, was when Darth Vader screamed "No!" right before throwing the Emperor down the Death Star shaft.  This set also saw alterations to the prequels.  In ''The Phantom Menace'', the puppet Yoda was replaced with a CGI model used in ''Attack of the Clones'' and ''Revenge of the Sith''.

When Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012, many fans hoped this would mean a release of the Original Unaltered Trilogy.  However, the rights to ''A New Hope'' permanently belong to 20th Century Fox, while the rights to the Prequel Trilogy, ''The Empire Strikes Back'', and ''Return of the Jedi'' revert to Disney in the year 2020.
