I am proud to say that I haven't even SEEN the 'soft-in-the-head' versions. I did see a couple of stills of those scenes from each movie and that was enough to convince me not to watch them, as they would have taken my beloved memories and hacked them to pieces. It might have been like watching a horror movie.....waiting to see what kind of monster[in this case a crappy CGI add-in] might be lurking behind each corner waiting to frighten me. You don't put imitation chocolate syrup on your New York strip steak. Going from the SE versions back to the originals may end up being like the time when the only copy of your favorite song was on a record that had a skip in it. Then later when you get a good version of the song, your brain waits for that skip even though it never happens! Only these Lucas 'skips' were shamefully put in there on purpose.

I haven't seen the dvd of Raiders yet but i'm wondering, does Jones shoot the big swordsman, or does he fire a blank in the air and use the confusion to run away?
