Then don't pay to see the revisions...

I don't and I know no one I know does. The problem is kids nowadays end up seeing these completely modified movies instead of the original and believe that this is how it is, not knowing that they are hack jobs.

No, actually despite whatever you may decide to believe for yourself, that IS the way it is. and if you think they're hack jobs, maybe you should actually go watch them.

Not at all, and yes I HAVE watched them, have you? Why is it nessesary to add multiple long scenes full of 3D rendered characters in a new hope or return of the jedi? Or completly edit parts and remove characters? They should not have been touched AT ALL, all the parts modified and removed/added do NOT contibute anything to the story all they do is create confusion such as this thread as Greedo never ever shot first.

It may not be necessary but the "artist" feels that his work of art was incomplete. it's his right to change it as he sees fit. Do I love all the additions? No; but then again I didn't love the original trilogy 100% either. Give and take...We give and George takes...our money!! ;)

Actually most of the added scenes are scenes that where never finished but where meant to be there. Like the jabba scene. But back then they couldn't turn the jabba a guy into the jabba slug, so it was dropped.

The updated outdoor scenes with cgi creatures and more people. Definitely adds too the atmosphere and ambience over the empty dead scenes of the original release.

And theres the cgi troopers in the death star, that's how it was supposed to be, the scene makes sense now. Han actually runs from troopers, not from three silly troopers.

The re releases are just plain overall better.

And the Han scene is the only scene there really has been confusion about. And that's just because some people think Han is some cold blooded shoot first killer, everything else in the movies paint him in a different light. It never made sense and seems more like an editor goof that you can't see Greedo the useless freshman thug shot first.

      NASA: This asteroid may not kill us but it probably won't be far off either by Sayan Sen Image by Zelch Csaba via Pexels New observations by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have eliminated the last remaining impact threat posed by asteroid 2024 YR4, ruling out the possibility that the near-Earth object could strike the Moon in December 2032. NASA said observations collected by Webb on February 18 and 26, 2026, enabled scientists to refine the asteroid's orbit enough to "rule out a chance of lunar impact on Dec. 22, 2032." Instead, asteroid 2024 YR4 is now expected to pass the Moon at a distance of about 13,200 miles (21,200 km). The agency stressed that the update "reflects improved precision in our understanding of where the asteroid is expected to be in 2032 rather than a shift in its orbital path." The announcement closes a remarkable chapter in planetary defence that began in late 2024, when the approximately 60-metre-wide asteroid briefly became the most closely watched near-Earth object in the world. Discovered on December 27, 2024, by the ATLAS telescope in Chile, 2024 YR4 initially appeared to have a small chance of colliding with Earth on December 22, 2032. As astronomers gathered more observations, the impact probability briefly climbed to around 3%—the highest ever recorded for an asteroid of its size—before steadily falling as its orbit became better understood. By early 2025, international observations had ruled out any significant risk to Earth. However, astronomers were left with another possibility: a roughly 4% chance that the asteroid could instead strike the Moon. "The probability that asteroid 2024 YR4 will strike the Moon on 22 December 2032 is now approximately 4%," the European Space Agency (ESA) had said last year, noting that "there is a 96% chance that the asteroid will not impact the Moon." ESA said such an impact, while unlikely, would have presented an extraordinary scientific opportunity. "It is a very rare event for an asteroid this large to impact the Moon – and it is rarer still that we know about it in advance. The impact would likely be visible from Earth, and so scientists will be very excited by the prospect of observing and analysing it," said Richard Moissl, Head of ESA's Planetary Defence Office. "It would certainly leave a new crater on the surface. However, we wouldn't be able to accurately predict in advance how much material would be thrown into space, or whether any would reach Earth," he added. The asteroid also exposed an important blind spot in planetary defence. Because 2024 YR4 approached Earth from the direction of the Sun, it remained hidden from ground-based telescopes until after its closest approach. "We looked into how Neomir would have performed in this situation, and the simulations surprised even us," Moissl said. "Neomir would have detected asteroid 2024 YR4 about a month earlier than ground-based telescopes did. This would have given astronomers more time to study the asteroid's trajectory and allowed them to much sooner rule out any chance of Earth impact in 2032." He added, "As an infrared telescope, like Webb, Neomir would have also immediately given us a much better estimate for the asteroid's size, which is very important for assessing the significance of the hazard." The latest NASA observations underscore the value of space-based infrared telescopes in tracking faint asteroids. According to NASA, Webb made "among the faintest ever observations of an asteroid," extending the object's observational record by nearly eight months at a time when it had become too faint for other telescopes. That additional data allowed scientists to eliminate the remaining uncertainty surrounding its 2032 flyby. Although asteroid 2024 YR4 is now confirmed to pose no threat to either Earth or the Moon, scientists say its discovery remains one of the most significant real-world tests of the international planetary defence system, demonstrating how continued observations can rapidly transform an object once considered hazardous into one whose future path is known with high confidence.

      Yup. Google is just scraping the entire internet for their own ad profits without sharing revenue with the sources. It's obviously stealing, but since these sites depend upon Google's search scraps to survive... As for me, I just stopped using Google for anything except Reddit searches. If Reddit's own search wasn't complete crapola, I'd never use Google search again.
