The first one does not even deliver his lines that well and is certainly not menacing enough. Ian McDiarmid clearly puts his heart and soul into this very short scene

The special edition really emphasizes just how much Palpatine is the master (as well as the better visuals) with the superb way Ian McDiarmid delivers the dialogue, whereas in the previous one it sounds more like Vader is an equal. His facial expression rarely changes either (count how many times he blinks) which suggests that he does not care about any of his subordinates.

Excellent coloring job. This was always my favorite TAGS episode. Back in the 1800's in Germany the church organ broke on Christmas Eve, the reverend worked all night on a new carol that could be done on guitar, which many of his congregation were able to accompany on with him on Christmas Day. That's where this song came from, look it up.

The updated version would've better if they had kept the dialog the same. Instead, they botched it.
@BeanieBroadcast-dk1yd27 күн бұрын
I think the new dialogue would have been fine, had they kept Vader's theatrical "yes, my master" in between the added "Rebel who destroyed the death star" & "Offspring of Anakin" lines. Then, there would be more clarification of Vader actively choosing to lie to Palpatine (because Lies, Deception, and Betrayal are what the Sith are all about) instead of seeming oblivious like in the official 2004 version.

Also ❤️’d that there were lots of other great shows that like, tied in. Green Acres & Petticoat Junction & Gomer Pyle & the Beverly Hillbillies .. probably more but that’s all i can recall right now. Just lately i’m noticing that i see a lot of _Lisa Douglas_ from Green Acres when i watch _Fran Fine_ in the Nanny. Makes sense bc Fran Drescher is a big fan of that era - her character Fran Fine often mentions 60’s sitcoms. lol i’m way too thrilled when i _ALWAYS_ remember what she’s talking about! .. well at least _SITCOM WISDOM_ comes with age! ☠️😆

@Gunners_Mate_Guns10 ай бұрын
As the other reply indicated, she was going through some personal issues at the time, but she also had expressed frustration that she didn't get a chance to have some funny lines on the show. It would have been nice to have her stay longer than just the first season, as she's definitely one of the most beautiful women ever, with a smile that's almost incandescent. You even see her briefly in the movie "Pretty Woman," thirty years after her time on "The Andy Griffith Show" and she was still drop dead gorgeous at that time. There are even some interviews of her fairly recently, now in her 80s and she's still beautiful.

The first time I saw this episode was about 26 years ago. It made me cry. Loneliness can be a self induced dilemma. The character of Ben has this dilemma. It seems like it hurts him to be civil, much less show humanity. The show’s writers needed a safe, Mayberry-style Scrooge for the series’ only Christmas episode, so Ben the Curmudgeon got the nod. It’s a sweet, done well…except it was produced when was still playing the backwoods, hayseed & not the savvy savior of Aunt Bea & Barney’s morale.

I prefer the original version. The discrete language is not only intriguing, but also misleading for first viewers, leaving the ultimate reveal to be a surprise.
