I actually liked that silly little song and was irritated that they changed the ending to have a fully orchestrated song (done by primitive little teddy bears?!?) and then showing the entire galaxy cheering. I liked that it was a "private" celebration for the team who finally kicked the Empire's butt!

Otherwise, cleaning up the special effects was welcome. The haloed outlines on the original versions were becoming distracting..."

I also thought it was a bit pretentious to change the ending to the entire galaxy celebrating. In my mind, it's a continuity error. There's no way the whole galaxy could have know that the 2nd Death Star was destroyed that quickly, when very few even knew it existed, and NO ONE knew that the Emperor was on it, except those that were also on it.

I've thought the same thing. Almost wrote it, too, but wasn't sure I wanted to start a discussion about how the rest of the galaxy could have heard about the victory!

Personally I feel it would be kinda selfish of Lucas to release only the Special Editions. He ruined two of my favorite scenes from Jedi (the Max Rebo Band and the Ewok Song), not to mention Greedo shootin first in Episode IV . I just hope Lucasfilm realizes that the originals are just as important (if ot more so) to some poeple out in the 'verse as the Special Edition.
