So what of the changes? Jabba looks pretty fake, but better than he did in the SE. He at least look enough like Jabba.
Lightsaber change is good. So is the landspeeder.
No more monkey-eyed Emperor woman? Yes!
Naboo... No.
Having Hayden as Anakin does sort of make sense.

Gah, can't wait that long... 
Oh well, at least the release of THX 1138 next week will help me cope...

Can't wait till the 21st.

Well I wonder why RotJ got a C+, but I am excited about the other ratings. Also, the bouns disc's feature "Star Wars: An Empire of Drems" is actually going to be on A&E Sunday at 7Central.
As already noted by many others here, the scene with the new Palpatine in ESB is... a little off... and they still have Greedo shooting first.

Remember that the movie review and the DVD review are separate.

Yeah, they pretty much spooged over the whole thing, even saying "I told you so" about the changes, and how they like the this way.
The only negatives they gave were saying ROTJ was the least of the three (big surprise? most critics seem to share that view), that the lack of deleted scenes was an outright tease, and that the original versions weren't included. They also bemoaned the fluff associated with the "extras" like the Battlefront and Episode III game previews.
Really though, it sounds like we get one good modern documentary, and two short featurettes, the rest is just crap, unrelated to the classic trilogy.
That said, since this (may be) the only time we get the OT on dvd (why wait until 2007 to get it on HDDVD or Blu-Ray?), I'll probably buy this like everybody else. But then this is George Lucas we're talking about!
