Well I will have to see how bad Yoda looks in the later movies. Eventually I will watch them.

Vader says No twice. You are also missing out on Ewoks blinking. You aren't getting the full enjoyment of the movie if you have the inferior version without Ewoks blinking.

That scene is one of the best scenes in that movie for the reason you just mentioned, it is one of the rare examples of character development. Like I said before (I forget what I said versus what I didn't), the fight aboard the Death Star II was perhaps the best parts of the movie (with my least favorite thing being a weird track when Luke starts attacking Vader, it sounds like moaning goats and I don't really see how that music works with the whole emotional scene). But you are lucky, because the other annoying thing was when Vader started yelling "no". It just made the scene that much worse. "Tell your sister.. you were right" is probably one of the better lines of the film. I just am not a fan of the whole Jabba's palace, the playout with Ewoks manning technological equipment and injuring stormtroopers with spears, and the whole logic behind the Death Star II and Palpatine's plan. Note that few rebels die in the entire battle, I remember an A wing flying into a Super Star Destroyer and destroying it (before a gripe as I didn't get how gravity worked, but I guess the Death Star II is large enough to create its own gravity), an Ewok getting killed and his friend mourning him (the most hilarious scene in the movie, if we had more of this the movie might have worked!), and one rebel cruiser getting blown up by the Death Star. Yes, there are casualties, but none are really emotional or important to the viewer. They are just cool for the xplosions and not for the people involved. We don't get the death of Biggs or the Rebel Commander. You could argue that Empire didn't either, but remember that Empire was just the main cast trying to regroup after a single battle and was more of a personal exploration than a global one. So when we get global in Empire, I don't get why we don't get something like we did in A New Hope where characters we care about die.

Actually, another big problem with the movie for me was the storytelling scene. I was rather annoyed with the sound effects and felt bugged by the whole charade.

You don't think they would? Remember, we have tons of more rereleases coming. When running out of ideas we have to switch to doing whatever we can.

Of course, Jedi will remain in my mind as Lucas' attempt to do another film just to get more money from merchandising. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but it does make the movie a lot less credible. Just remember that Empire didn't spark another toy line from Kenner under a different label or start a tv series.

I also just learned that there was actually a different song in Jedi before the Ewok song we get today called "Yub Nub". I hadn't heard that sound out of games. Of course, I am not a big fan of the original as it sounds nothing like Ewoks. On the other hand it fits more with the scene than the tribal song we get.
