First, I am not a raving Star Wars fan but I did purchase the DVD trilogy and
two things really irked me.

1)  The obligatory "Han shoots first!!".  OK, I feel better already.
2)  The scene with Jabba/Han in "A New Hope" sucks.  Plain and simple.  Sucks.

The rest of the add-ins were tolerable and understandable or you could at least
see what Lucas was attempting to do.  Still, it made me think of this cartoon.
