Georges Lucas was kind enough to show us what will be the differences between the Original Trilogy - which underwent a lifting in 2004 with the release of the DVDs - and the 2010 version. To see these differences, just put your Mouse on the Pictures (but don’t click) and let the Magic begins !

Georges Lucas - When the Stormtroopers are looking for the Droids in the Tatouine Desert, I wasn’t happy. For the 1997 Special Edition, I had already put a Spaceship slowly taking off in the Background, and a Small-Feet Creature. But that wasn’t enough. I mean, do you want a Fucking Powerful Empire, or a Tiny Empire that only sends ONE Spaceship and a Slug ? The Empire has some Money, and so have I, so I decided to duplicate almost everything on Screen - except Sand Dunes for Legal reasons with the Tunisian Embassy. More Stormtroopers, more Spaceships, isn’t it much more interesting ? Actually, it fills perfectly the Empty Blue Sky behind.

George Lucas - Note that each Stormtrooper has Goggles. This way, nobody remains inactive, everyone has their activity, no one is getting bored. Notice that they look to the left AND to the right ? Awesome. And much more efficient. To fill the sky, I have scattered some Spaceships here and there: If there are so many Stormtroopers in the Desert, someone must have put them there first. Another advantage is that it shows that the Empire is much more willing to catch the Droids. I would have loved to put dozens of Palmtrees. I had the idea that C3PO and R2D2 could have played hide and seek behind them, creating a little Looney Tunes Action. But for time constraints, I didn’t have the Time. I promise I’ll put them in the 2018 Edition.

Georges Lucas - I had already redone the Arrival at Mos Eisley in 1997, but it hasn’t thrilled me as much as I wanted. Mos Eisley is a City with tons of people going all over the place, talking, eating, like a real town actually! Creatures, Jawas and even Small Robots where added in the 1997 Edition, creating a much more relaxed atmosphere, and some funny events, so that I could sell more Toys. But I didn't have enough money, so for the 2010 Edition, I have flooded the sky with tons of Spaceships. You can't really see what kind of Spaceships they are, but details will be added on the Toys.

Georges Lucas - I also multiplied the citizens, to show that the City is REALLY busy, more like Coruscant in Episode I, II and III, as a matter of fact. You have got to show that there's Traffic, so I have literally spit spaceships all over the place. For 2018, I will do some Triangle and Square Roofs, adding much more diversity to the Architecture. Too many Hemispheres. I have also written not to forget to put some Clouds on my Personal Notebook.

Georges Lucas - The Uniforms of the Death Star Officers are not that good. I thought that playing with the Contrast would be a Good Idea to get Brand New Colourful Outfits. Look at the Jolly Result! It lowers a bit the holocaust atmosphere before the Alderaan’s destrution. Before, the officer had some Red, Yellow and Blue, but with my contrast idea, look at that! Green! Cyan! And even some Magenta! Some people will think that this Officer must have led many people to death so as to get all those Happy Colours. He has more experience, and therefore, more credibility. You don't want to mess with that guy.

Georges Lucas - For the next picture, I got inspired by my friend Steven Spielberg. The Empire is very mean, so I have put some Nazi symbols. So now, you understand much more how mean the Empire is. Notice that the Flags are very Bright, what a Nice Red!

Georges Lucas - Obi-Wan Kenobi was too much unemployed. We could only see him throwing sentences from time to time. On the Death Star, he mentally manipulates the Stormtroopers. This was not enough, I have added some Lightnings, like the Emperor. Now you can see that Obi-Wan is One-Heck-Of-A-Jedi. I have lifted up Luminosity, because Lightning has Light in itself.

Georges Lucas - For the Battle of Hoth, the Ice Planet, there are some Glasses like in Submarines. I put some Extra-Drawings on them, to show that the Situation at this Point of the Movie is really Complex. The Rebels must take a choice between all those lines on the Glass. Look at all those Lines ! Wich one should they take ? That's what I call SUSPENSE. I added some Cute Tiny Snowflakes on the Glass, and don't forget the Little Red Lights on the Officer's Chest.

Georges Lucas - When the Mechanical Brontosauruses arrived on the Battlefield, there weren't enough. I've put some more everywhere.

Georges Lucas - The Scene in the Grotto where Luke fights Darth Vader was making me crazy. Instead of leaving Luke's Head in the helmet, I've put Hayden Christensen's Head. He plays Anakin Skywalker in the Prequel Trilogy, you know. This way, it links both Trilogies, because when you see his face, you say Oh! It's Anakin from the Prequel Trilogy!. Pretty Clever !

Georges Lucas - When Darth Vader speaks to Boba Fett, the Bounty Hunter, the Atmosphere is cold. Freezing, to be honest. I have put a Mexican hat on the Bald Guy's Head. When you're dealing with the Star War Universe, it's impossible to imagine Bald People exist, except for Samuel L. Jackson, who has refused to wear a wig. The Hat adds a funny aspect to the Scene. I have deleted the Electronics he had all around his head before, for people not to take him for Darth Vader, and vice-versa.

Georges Lucas - When the Fleet deploys, I have pooped lots of Destroyers, to show how Wealthy the Empire is again - just in case you hadn't noticed. I have also edited a Major element: the Destroyers go in EVERY direction. Space hasn't any Up or a Down, nor a Left and a Right, so I have made them go in almost every direction. Who knows, maybe the Millenium Falcon has escaped BELOW them...

Georges Lucas - In “The Return of the Jedi”, Luke gets to Jabba's Palace. Everyone knows it's Luke, but to increase Mystery (and Suspense) I have painted his face Black, and added some Jawa Eyes. This way, the Younger Generations will think twice "Is it Luke or a Jawa?" If it's a Jawa, that's a Big Jawa, because Jawas are supposed to be the Size of Willow. In case the Audience recognises Luke, it shows a more convincing Luke, with his Scary Bright Eyes.

Georges Lucas - I have always thought that when Boba Fett throws a rope to Luke, there wasn't enough rope. I have added some extra-rope, creating a much more efficient visual effect. Notice that the Sky has changed : Clouds! I love it.

Georges Lucas - The Dance Scene in Jabba's Palace needed some Sex-Appeal. I had already put some Female Dancers in the 1997 Edition, but it wasn't enough. I have decided to put Britney Spears. There was a little Space in the Background, and I have just added her. This Empty Space was literally crying for a Britney Spears Cameo, don't you think ?

Georges Lucas - Here is the Scene where Mon Mothma, Leader of the Rebellion, shows a 3D Image of the New Death Star who has the same weakness of the Old One in Episode IV. Before, you could only see the Death Star going around Endor. Now, in 2010, we can see shitty Information like in any Crappy Movie (James Bond, Mission Impossible, Hackers...). It gives more credibility to the Rebels. You don't have enough time to read all the Information, but don't worry, they're useless. Just Damn Pretty.

Georges Lucas - At the Very End, I have added Hayden Christensen in 2004 in order to link both Trilogies together. But that wasn't enough bullshit, so I have added some Extra-Characters, such as Mace Windu, Jar-Jar Binks, Qui-Gon Jinn, and of course, myself, because I'm not meaningless: I'm George Lucas, and I have more money then you have. Send me an E-Mail ! Bonus - I have made Two Animated Gifs : Han Solo and Palpatine.
