   Two things stand out:   
   the "funny" bit in Moss Eisley (sp?) where some alien falls off the elephant   
   type thing he's riding as Luke & Co drive up in the speeder is really dumb   
   (is it just me or does the lighting and shadows go from "mid-afternoon"   
   (new) to "late-afternoon" (old) in the driving into Moss Eisley scene?)   
   and, the big one:   
   Lucas rewriting his own fictions history to make Solo not look like the   
   rouge he was by having him shoot second instead of first, killing the bounty   
   hunter Greedo in cold blood. IMO it really diminishes Solo's character.
