Good god, I have no problem with these themselves, but the second one I've just had a bit of a problem with over the years. I mean, it's Lucas' own canon. He's changed that sound a million goddamn times. Shouldn't he of all people know wtf a Krayt Dragon sounds like?

For reference:

Actually... I'm kinda the opposite. While the second one could be better, it's still better than what was there before and much better explains the sandpeople running away.
How does it better explain it? The official explanation is that he was mimicking a Krayt Dragon's roars, and while that's never explained in the films the first version would seem to convey that better simply because the sound used for that scene didn't sound human, whereas the new one is easily recognizeable as such.
I always thought the sound in that scene sounded more like the landspeeder suddenly starting up or something. The new sound definitely sounds more like some sort of creature I wouldn't wanna fuck with even if I was a sandperson with friends.

The extra dialogue in the first clip not only doesn't sound like Vader, in my opinion it really ruins the moment. I managed to figure out what was going on just fine the first time I watched it, I don't see any need for Lucas to hold our hands.

The films are his property, so if he wants to tinker with them, it's his right. And if you don't like the changes, just watch a non-altered version. Just because a new version appears it doesn't mean the old ones magically disappear.
That argument would have more weight if Lucas would release the remastered, but un-enhanced, original trilogy. Unfortunately the options he has given us are a VHS rip on DVD or all of his fiddling. I wouldn't care a lick about his adjustments as long as I could get a decent copy of the original version.

Well... maybe there IS something in that theory Iron Liz had: George Lucas is crazy, and he wants to destroy what he created- but not by throwing it away. Instead, ha makes the franchise rot from the inside, creates crappy sequels and adds in unnecesary changes to the original trilogy until it shatters to pieces.
...okay, I made up most of that theory right now, but I'm pretty sure that's what she meant.

As I've said before, somebody needs to give Lucas a proper project to do, to stop him ruining all his good films. Can't we think of some marginally good sci-fi piece that no one really cared for, that we could give him to redo?
Do we count Howard The Duck as Marginally Good? Or Sci Fi? Or a Movie, or is it like a mistake we just keeping hesitating to mention at the dinner table?
Ah, it'll do. The main point is to distract him before he starts CGI replacing Lando Calrissian with Jar Jar Binks.

Now we need to find someone to tell him it's about a cute Duck that runs around with normal people and has plenty of merchandising to the kids potential.

What is the point of these? They sound horribly out of place, and I don't just mean that in a nostalgic "He shouldn't be messing with the old movies"

The new sounds don't integrate at all into the scenes, maybe Darth's second 'Nooo!', but his first was just... fake, and Obi Wans call is just weird, I mean, what was wrong with the first call he did?

As I've said before, somebody needs to give Lucas a proper project to do, to stop him ruining all his good films. Can't we think of some marginally good sci-fi piece that no one really cared for, that we could give him to redo?
Maybe we can just give him some paper and some crayons and have him sit in the corner.

EDIT: Oh and I forgot to say that Ben's new cry sounds like he accidentally swallowed a didgeridoo when he saw something shiny.

Lucas didn't make Star Wars Lucas made the prequels.

Everyone involved with the first Star Wars movies contributed a lot to the films but in the prequels everyone involved had no spine and agreed with everything he said even though you can see on there faces they know Lucas is a **** with no good ideas.

Can you see the difference, its pretty clear.

I'm probably wrong though I'm just loosely quoting Plinkett's reviews on the three prequels I seen last year.

This. The original movies George took criticism and advice. Prequels everyone assumed he knew what he was doing.

Okay, the first one wasn't a huge deal for me.... But when I saw the second one, my first thought was "Wow, some youtuber is making Star Wars: The Abridged Series!"

I don't get it, what's the problem? Wicket always had eyes.

Why is it that such little changes matter so much to star wars fans? The original copies are out there.

someone needs to give him a firm pat on the back and say "this cow has been milked for all shes worth...time to move on to greener pastures."

Ok...Obi-wan's little "woooo" made me laugh hysterically...and it sounds like the soundtrack to a haunted house after that...and I agree with the others on Vader...his body language was enough to show conflict and his decision to save Luke...even if you can't see his face...you could tell it really bothered him and he was conflicted in his loyalties...it was one of the biggest character arcs for Vader
