@@Daniel.J.RinanderI seriously don’t understand why people hate the change, same with the removal of Vader’s eyebrows, the “NO” scream adds more weight and a bit of a “punch” to the already great scene, and the removal of Vader’s eyebrows really help illustrate how under the mask lies a frail, tragic, broken man underneath.

The perfect ending for the saga. No loose threads. No “maybe we’ll come back and have this adventure”. A perfect definitive ending. Are there adventures after this to explore? Absolutely! But I refuse to let that effect this perfect finale. No Palpatine coming back, no Luke giving up on his philosophy, not even any Luke turning to the dark side like in the OG expanded universe. A group of friends and family celebrating the fall of tyranny, the restoration of hope, and the redemption of the chosen one.

With episode 7 and onward being done by Disney, I still consider Episode 6 to still be the end of a series, the end of Anakin's story. The prequels were about his rise and tragic fall and specifically this movie alone, The Return of the Jedi, was about his final redemption. Star Wars may go on indefinitely, but Anakin can finally be at peace.

[@t.khattabi7727]

Wow and I thought I was the only one who thought that. The new trilogy 7, 8 and probably 9 are okay movies and even though the prequels were a bit odd, they were still connected well with the original trilogy and Anakin. The connection between the new sequel with the prequels/original trilogy just isn't there, also because of the completely different story, too many new characters and planets etc.

I really don't understand why people are so pissed about Victory Celebration being a replacement for Yub-Nub. I mean, I love the old trilogy, but this theme gives more feels that "it's all over" than Yab-Nub, and Yub-Nub didn't give any feels at all.

[@connerclark3678]

I grew up with the Special Edition. THIS was my Star Wars. I’d heard of something called “Yub-nub” but was confused;, thinking it must be from those dumb Ewok movies. Then I heard Yub-Nub when I saw RotJ on TV and my jaw dropped with how silly and underwhelming it was. “From a certain point of view”, Victory Celebration is the best, near-and-dear “original” version. At least I understood better why some of the Yub-nub generation disliked the Ewoks.

[@alexanderh9642]

I think it's interesting, when looking at the Star Wars soundtracks as a whole, William's rarely uses vocals in the tracks. Duel of fates and the emperor throne room scenes are the main ones. The song at the end of phantom menace is a heightened version of the throne room scene to underscore how this is the start of Palpatine's victory. All uses of choirs come in climactic moments, typically with a shroud of evil around them. Ending with this song is a far departure, like their very victory over the dark side changes how music represents the world and the galaxy can sing outwardly again

[@vanadium8865]

That, my friend, is one excellent take

[@alexanderh9642]

So it was changed to more of a happy sad song to kinda say farewell to Anakin.
