Changes to Star Wars Blu-Ray release

No surprise here; we all know George Lucas can't keep his hands of the Star Wars saga.  He's made numerous changes to the films throughout the years, in several re-releases.  Most of these were minor tweaks, but there have been several major changes made to the dismay of the fans.  The newest Blu-Ray release is no exception.  Here's a list of the main changes, and a link to some videos.

• Puppet Yoda from Episode I has been replaced with CGI Yoda
• Kenobi's Krayt Dragon yell has been replace with new audio
• CGI rocks were added in front of R2-D2 while he is hiding from the Jawas
• A CGI Dug was added to a scene in Jabba's Palace
• Jabba's door is modified to appear much grander in scale
• The Ewoks blink
• Darth Vader yells "No! Noooooo!" when throwing Emperor Palpatine
• Not a change, but Greedo still shoots first (by a nanosecond, to the point where Han couldn't react "after" Greedo)

George Lucas on the Star Wars TV show

If you weren't already aware, there is supposed to eventually be a live-action Star Wars TV show.  It's set in the time between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, which opens it up for some Jedi killing.  Apparently 50 hours of the show have been written by Lucas, but its too expensive to produce right now.  He hopes to develop new CGI technology that would allow not only the live-action series but any TV show or movie to be made for far less money.  He's revolutionized the movie making process before, so I have confidence he can do it again (and we can get another dose of Star Wars).
