What's going to destroy the Old Trilogy is George Lucas, who will get sick of the whole thing create a newly edited Super Duper Special Edition (with their own movie releases) where Alderaan shoots first at the Death Star... and misses. Jar-Jar will then look up from the firing controls and go "Weesa gonna die?"
That's a certified 'Kill Jar-Jar' scene. What's wrong with that?

Otherwise:

1. Darth Vader - 'I find your lack of faith disturbing'. '<choke><splat> Apology accepted, Captain Needa'.... Nuff' said. Cool Badass.

2. The end of ROTJ on the DS - this is mostly Hamill's spectacular job. But seeing him get up, throw the saber away and face the Emperor with "You failed, Your Highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me'... Well, it's a defining moment. Utterly terrific.

3. Coolest laser fights - I like lots of types - phasers, the old Ranger weapons, X-com stuff... I like laser guns(regardless of what they ARE). But none of it has quite measured up to the SW stuff in blazing battle. I dunno, can anyone show me a better series for that?

4. C-3PO & R2D2 - the best dynamic duo around. Others are great - but not quite as good. 'Don't you call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease!'. The EU has given them the best lines(Check the Shadows of the Empire scenes with em'. Priceless).

5. Lightsabers - why have very few series tried to ape this? Sword fights in the midst of battle are a badass notion. And done very well throughout the series(INCLUDING the prequels). Of course, I may be biased by my love of the Jedi Knight games.

What's the difference? There's that one CGI scene added and the Death Star explosion is different...is there anything else significant I'm missing?
