Watching the “Maclunky” version of A New Hope on @disneyplus with the family. I forgot just how awful the changes from the special editions are. Woof! On the bright side, the movie looks great in 1080p.

@kimberlyhirsh ugh, they’re awful! But, hands down, the worst addition is the scene with Jabba and Han. Yikes.

@cleverdevil Agreed. I know Greedo is dead so Han has to convey the same information to Jabba, but using the exact same dialogue? No. (Also: "Jabba, you're a wonderful human being." No.)

@kimberlyhirsh Agreed most of those scenes are awful, but I do think the final Death Star battle is significantly improved over the original version.

@cleverdevil That’s what the Despecialized Editions are for! 😁
