In 1997, Episodes IV, V, and VI were re-mastered and theatrically re-released as the "Special Editions." For the re-release, in addition to extensive clean-up and restoration work, Lucas also made a number of changes to the films in order to "finish the film the way it was meant to be" (as Lucas said in a September 2004 interview with the Associated Press).
Many of Lucas's changes for the Special Editions were cosmetic, generally adding special effects which weren't originally possible. Other changes, however, are considered to have affected plot or character development. These changes, such as the change referred to by fans as "Han shot first," have proven to be controversial. The "Han shot first" situation can be generally described as this: in the original release of Episode IV, the character Han Solo shoots and kills a bounty hunter named Greedo, after Greedo threatens to kill him in order to collect a bounty which had been placed on Solo's head by Jabba the Hutt. In the Special Edition of the film, however, Greedo shoots first at close range. Only after he misses does Solo return fire. George Lucas has been quoted in Entertainment Weekly as saying that this version of the scene was meant to be the original, as in the original storyboards (Greedo fires first at Han Solo).
In 2000, this version had box art redesigned to match the Box Art of Episodes I–III except the front of the box was white for Episodes IV and VI while Episode V retained the black used for the Prequel box art. Also the Star Wars logos on Episodes IV–VI used the logo design as featured for Episodes I–III. This was done to create a more uniformed look for all 6 movies.
Special coverage on CNN in 1997 notes that Lucas spent $10 million to rework his original 1977 film, which was roughly what it cost to film it originally. $3 million of that was spent on the audio track for the special edition. Lucas also spent $2.5 million each on Episodes V and VI.
The following is a partial list of changes aside from overall audio and visual alterations:
A New Hope
The opening crawl has been recomposed again using the original 1977 starfield and positions of the moons.
The sunset over the canyon R2-D2 travels down has been enhanced and lengthened and the canyon scene has been darkened.
A revised Jawa sandcrawler has the sky darkened and with a few scattered stars.
The shot of the sandcrawler coming over the rise was reshot using the original model. The new shot is longer and closer with the camera panning to follow the sandcrawler.
A new digital matte painting of the sandcrawler and extended sky were added when the Jawas are setting up shop in front of the Lars farm. Artificial zooming in is also present. More vaporators have been added, but they disappear in subsequent shots.
Stormtrooper Search
New, extended shot of the stormtrooper search for the Death Star plans.
Extended shot of the stormtroopers' search for the missing droids with additional troopers riding dewbacks. A Sentinel-class landing craft can be seen taking off, and new (costumed) stormtroopers have been added to the scene.
The Lars dinner scene has a slight audio manipulation from Aunt Beru: "Luke's just not a farmer Owen. He has too much of his father in him." There is a slight pause before she says "father," and the word "father" is changed to sound more worrisome.
Shots of the landspeeder in motion have been enhanced to improve the shadow and make it look further off the ground.
New shot of Ben Kenobi's hut done in CG replaces a previous shot of the landspeeder parked near Ajim.
When Luke swings his father's lightsaber in Ben's hut, the effect has been redone and the blade looks greener than the normal sky blue.
Skeletal remains of Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen were enhanced.
The far shot of Mos Eisley spaceport, shows a ship taking off from the ground.
Mos Eisley
Extended view of Mos Eisley spaceport.
Mos Eisley is bigger and busier with an extended opening showing dinosaur-like rontos and the original speeder that would have been in the first version, featuring slapstick droids in front of Dash Rendar's ship, the Outrider, followed by a short pause of the camera as a Jawa gets bucked from its Ronto mount. Two stormtroopers can also be seen in a far shot standing watch.
The dewback standing outside the cantina is animated and when the stormtroopers arrive one is shown dismounting from one as C-3PO says, "I don't like the look of this."
A pilot droid has been digitally added to most scenes with Imperial stormtroopers on Tatooine.
New aliens are seen in the cantina replacing the "Wolfman" characters in two shots, though the Defel still appears in the cantina. Although these new characters look different from each other, they are actually both portrayed by the same mask. The mask was just turned around backwards for the second creature.
Han’s last line to Greedo, "Yes, I’ll bet you have," was edited to a calmer "I'll bet you have."
Greedo shoots first
Greedo shoots first (and misses) in the 1997 special edition of A New Hope.
Greedo now fires an inaccurately aimed shot at Han before being shot in the cantina while Han bobs his head slightly to "dodge" the shot. (This change caused a great uproar in the community, and thousands of fans complained.)
Star Wars new scene
New scene with a computed generated model of Jabba.
A CGI version of Jabba the Hutt confronts Han Solo in the Millennium Falcon's launch bay, replacing a Human actor from a deleted scene that is now re-inserted after the Greedo scene. New dialogue was recorded in the Huttese language for this scene. Also, Boba Fett has been added to the scene as a bystander and in one scene a close-up.
A new Mos Eisley scene of the Falcon taking off with troopers firing upon it. The angle of the Falcon flying off has also been adjusted.
Large Praxis-effect shockwaves from the destruction of Alderaan and the Death Star have been added, and Alderaan's explosion itself redone.
Due to color timing errors, a "pink glow" was apparent in many of the new Tatooine scenes, including the extended entry into Mos Eisley.
The Death Star docking bay is revised to be more consistent with the one seen in Return of the Jedi, most notably in the overhead shot when the Millennium Falcon has landed.
The flashes of blaster impacts on the Imperial officers' chests were censored in all but one shot
C-3PO's line where he describes the tractor beam's power systems is put back in.
When Han Solo and Chewbacca are chasing a squad of stormtroopers on the Death Star, instead of running to a dead end with more stormtroopers, the pair end up at a hangar bay with seemingly hundreds of stormtroopers and officers. Laser fire was increased in the next scene where Chewbacca approaches the corner.
"Close the blast doors!" is put back into the scene where Han and Chewbacca jump through the doors as they close.
A digital version of a shot of the Millennium Falcon flying below the planet Yavin towards Yavin 4.
A scene between Luke Skywalker and Biggs Darklighter, just before the Battle of Yavin. A pilot has been digitally inserted walking past the camera at one point to mask a deleted line by Red Leader (which in the script indicated that he knew Luke's father and his reputation as a pilot).
Battle of Yavin
New CG shot of the Alliance fighters leaving Yavin 4 to destroy the Death Star.
New CG shots of the X-Wings and Y-Wings taking off from Yavin 4 (in the original version, they just appeared as white dots) and assembling in front of the Death Star.
New, additional, and revised dogfighting and attack run scenes during the battle with the Death Star
The line "Blast it Biggs, where are you?" was changed back to "Blast it Wedge, where are you?"
After Red Leader's unsuccessful trench run, the line "He's on your tail!" was added to the film.
The shot of the Rebel fighters flying to the Death Star and away from the Death Star has been revised.
Some garbage matte boxes around starships in space were removed (while others still remained).
Several explosions were recomposited to remove black borders and other artifacts.
During the victory celebration, as Luke, Han and Chewbacca enter the assembly hall, Rebel soldiers standing on the sides were a matte painting in the original; they have now been replaced with actors composited in.
James Earl Jones was added to the credits as the voice of Darth Vader.
"Luke's Theme" is partially repeated in the ending credits music to allow time for the added Special Edition release credits.
In addition, many of the wipes were digitally recomposited to improve quality.
The Empire Strikes Back
The opening credits were altered to lessen the effect that they move side-to-side sporadically.
New scenes on Hoth with a fiercer-looking wampa ice creature (man in a suit), including showing the wampa screeching in agony following the loss of its limb. Two close-up shots of the original wampa mask are still noticeable.
The opening battle sequence was cleaned up.
Cockpits of the Snow speeders were cleaned up so as not to appear transparent.
The blaster bolts of the TIE Fighters have been made more green.
New and additional shots of Cloud City with a CG Falcon and Cloud Cars approaching and flying through.
Cloud City Daytime
A Cloud Car patrolling Bespin's Cloud City.
New sequence added following a Cloud Car patrolling Cloud City.
In the scene where Luke heads to Cloud City, the Cloud Car is replaced by a Tibanna refinery. (The Tibanna refinery is almost panned and scanned out of the full screen DVD version. The right side of the refinery can be seen briefly in the full screen DVD version if played on a PC.)
Several wall panels have been digitally replaced with windows on Cloud City.
Background cityscapes have been replaced in some areas with new CG versions.
Luke's line, "You're lucky you don't taste very good," after R2-D2 is spit out by a Dagobah swamp creature, is changed to "You were lucky to get out of there."
An additional CG shot of Slave I pursuing the Millennium Falcon out of the Star Destroyer's floating garbage has been added.
Lando Calrissian says "Attention" twice when he speaks on the Cloud City PA.
Shot of Tian Chyler, a Bespin Wing Guard and an unidentified blonde woman listening to Lando on the Cloud City PA ordering the evacuation of the city are added. Exterior shot of people milling about in Downtown Plaza.
Luke screams as he jumps off the platform in Cloud City (the scream is actually lifted from the Emperor's death scream from Return Of The Jedi)
Vader leaving Cloud City
Vader leaving Cloud City.
Darth Vader's line "Bring my shuttle." is changed to "Alert my Star Destroyer to prepare for my arrival." The rest of the scene is extended with an additional shot of Vader walking to his shuttle and arriving on his Star Destroyer, where an outtake from Return of the Jedi was used (that's Moff Jerjerrod with his lines muted out who greets Vader).
A digital hatch has been added to replace the white light that appears when Lando opens the outer hatch of the Falcon to rescue Luke.
Some garbage matte boxes around starships were removed (but not all).
"The Imperial March" is partially repeated in the ending credits music to make room for the Special Edition release credits.
James Earl Jones was added to the credits as the voice of Darth Vader.
Return of the Jedi
A new Jabba's Palace Band musical number, "Jedi Rocks" replaces "Lapti Nek"; Oola is now accompanied by three back-up dancers. Some other footage is added from the extended music video of Lapti Nek [5].
Boba Fett is briefly shown flirting with Rystáll Sant at Jabba's palace, and walking past Jabba.
A new shot of Oola was added showing her getting up inside the rancor's den and screaming.
Subtitles have been added to the dialogue between Boushh and Jabba the Hutt when discussing the bounty for capturing Chewbacca, although C-3PO still interprets the conversation.
Added scene on Tatooine of a herd of Banthas before heading to the Pit of Carkoon.
Right after the scene of the Banthas, the poorly composited guard walking about on the Sail Barge's deck was redone.
Carkoon pit
A revised version of the Sarlacc with a beak and tentacles, more closely resembling its original concept art.
A revised version of the Sarlacc at the base of the Pit of Carkoon which features a beaklike mouth and extra tentacles.
When the skiff Han and Chewbacca are on is shot at from Jabba's barge, it now rocks to the side and forward rather than its original forward tilt.
CGI rope has been added around Han's ankles as he hangs onto the skiff by his feet.
In the original version, where Han is about to shoot the tentacle that is grabbing Lando, Han says "It's all right, trust me!" In the Special Edition, Han says "It's all right, I can see a lot better!"
The shot of Luke covering his damaged cybernetic hand with a glove was reshot in order to stay congruent with the re-shot scenes in The Empire Strikes Back. The damage in the original scene featured only blinking lights, whereas the new scene showcases shifting parts within the exposed artificial skin.
In the original version, a flight of four TIE Fighters appear from behind the camera flying towards the Death Star and disappear a second before the scene changes to the Emperor's arrival. This is corrected and the fighters continue heading toward the Death Star.
As with the destruction of the first Death Star, the second has been given a shockwave ring.
At the end of the trilogy after the Empire is defeated, scenes of celebration on Endor, Bespin, Tatooine, and Coruscant are shown. The "Ewok Celebration" song (often referred to as "Yub Nub") during this sequence has been replaced with an entirely new John Williams composition, "Victory Celebration". A few quick shots of the Ewoks celebrating by bonfires and with different musical instruments (horns) have been added.
During the end celebration, a brief shot of Luke hugging Wedge Antilles was inserted
The Force Ghost scene has been edited. In the original version, there is a medium shot of the ghosts of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, cut to a shot of Luke rejoining his friends, and then another long shot of Anakin, Obi-Wan and Yoda. In the Special Edition, the medium shot is split in two by the shot of Luke rejoining his friends. After the medium shot, there is another cut to Luke, and then a cut to the long shot of the ghosts.[7]
"Parade of the Ewoks" is partially repeated in the ending credits music to make room for the new Special Edition release credits.
James Earl Jones was added to the credits as the voice of Darth Vader.
