Star Wars: Ultimate Edition (Johnsonverse)

The Ultimate Edition of Star Wars was released on May 4, 2017. It contained innumerable edits to the original and prequel trilogy films, as well as the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special and The Clone Wars animated film. The also includes The Force Awakens and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, both of which were presented unaltered (as far as the Johnsonverse is concerned, since both used models for the space battles due to the effects being made by Johnson Studios instead of ILM).

The Ultimate Edition comes in a ten-disc boxset; discs 1-8 have the films, while the remaining two have all of the behind-the-scenes material, including deleted scenes, featurettes, the An Empire of Dreams documentary, the entire 2003-2005 Clone Wars cartoon, and a newly-made documentary about the history of Star Wars video games, narrated by Tim Johnson. The set also comes with a booklet that answers frequently-asked questions in regards to the changes made to the films, explaining things why Han refers to Heater as Jabba, the reason the lake and dinner scenes in Attack of the Clones were removed, and why no edits were made to The Force Awakens.

General

 * Almost all space battles were remade from the ground up, mostly in the prequel trilogy and Battle of Yavin. The Battle of Endor was instead expanded with new shots.
 * All CGI in the prequels was replaced with various elements such as models, pyrotechnics, stop-motion, "go-motion", live-actors, and matte paintings. Any CGI in the original trilogy was also expunged and either replaced with the original shots or new shots.
 * The battle droids were all redubbed by Matthew Wood to sound like their The Clone Wars counterparts.
 * Lack of politics in the prequels.
 * The prequels all remove spoilers related to the Skywalker family. All mentions of the Skywalker name in the prequels are cut.
 * Several deleted scenes were restored in the prequels to fill in plot holes.
 * The prequels use new crawls.
 * The prequels also have a fine grain filter throughout to give the impression of being shot on film.
 * All Jedi robes in the prequels are recolored much darker so that they don’t wear desert robes, so as to remove implications that Obi-Wan disguised himself as a Jedi on Tatooine.
 * All the films are recolored to look more natural.
 * The prequels use the classic 1953 Fox logo and classic Lucasfilm logo.

The Phantom Menace

 * Several Providence-class destroyers are added to the Trade Federation fleet.
 * The deleted pylat bird shot was restored.
 * The exchange between the two battle droids before Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon attack them is changed. The first droid now says "Uh, you go in first", and the second one says "I went in first last time!". The line "Uh-oh! Blast them!" is also changed, now simply being a yelp of surprise from the droids.
 * The line "You were right about one thing, master: the negotiations were short" is deleted.
 * Jar-Jar Binks' character is completely changed. For one, Ahmed Best was replaced by Danny DeVito as Jar-Jar's voice, and a new performer with an advanced animatronic head digitally replaced the original Jar-Jar. DeVito gives Jar-Jar a normal voice, though the other Gungans weren't similarly redubbed, with the explanation that Jar-Jar was banished for denouncing the existence of the Gungans' religious beliefs, and learning regular Galactic Basic behind their backs, as well as suffering from chronic kleptomania. His personality also changed from an utter, traitorous clown who later sells out the Republic to a snarky survivalist who takes credit for saving Qui-Gon's life, even when it was the other way around. During the climax, he takes a much more active role in combat, mowing down hundreds of battle droids with only a spear, and when told to put his hands up by a battle droid, Jar-Jar instead kicks the droid.
 * The Fall of Theed is shown to be a much more brutal affair, as a battle in the streets is added between Royal Security forces and the battle droids, including civilians being killed in the crossfire and buildings being blown up.
 * When Qui-Gon confronts the battle droid in the hangar, the line "Coruscant? Uh, that does not compute--oh, wait, uh, you're under arrest!" is shortened to simply "Arrest them!"
 * Vulture Droids now chase the queen's transport.
 * Watto was replaced with a puppet composited into the scene over the original CG Watto. Andrew Secombe was brought in to record several new lines.
 * Anakin's "virgin birth" is replaced with the explanation that his father Kane (named after Annikin’s father in the rough draft for the original film), a wise Jedi master, was struck down by a Sith Lord (later revealed by Leland Chee to be Darth Plagueis) in a risky mission and vanished when Anakin was two months old.
 * Anakin, like Jar-Jar, is completely replaced. He is now played by Finn Wolfhard of Stranger Things fame, and aged up to 16 so his later romance with Padme (who was 14 in The Phantom Menace) won't be creepy. Tim Johnson was hellbent on making Anakin tolerable, and to that end, gave him new dialogue to distance him from Jake Lloyd's widely-reviled performance. He is also made much more mature.
 * Darth Maul is now voiced by Sam Witwer instead of Peter Serafinowicz, to maintain continuity with The Clone Wars and Rebels.
 * Anakin does not build C-3PO. Rather, Threepio is a droid at Watto's who Jar Jar steals under Watto's nose and gives to Anakin to modify.
 * The concept of midichlorians is completely removed. A line making fun of the concept is added when Qui-Gon mentions that a scientist named Egroeg Sacul (George Lucas spelled backwards), Jorg's cousin, claimed he found a "scientific" explanation to the Force.
 * The podrace is remade from the ground up to use models and go-motion instead of CGI, but otherwise, is hardly changed.
 * Jabba the Hutt is replaced by a group of his henchmen, including Heater (using the design of the Jabba stand-in in ANH).
 * Ric Olie's "captain obvious" lines are removed.
 * Yoda was changed back to a puppet, albeit the one used in The Last Jedi.
 * The E.T. cameo is expanded, with Senator Grebleips and his aides being portrayed using the original E.T. puppets and animatronics. Grebleips (voiced by Steven Spielberg himself) is depicted speaking in Naboo's favor.
 * The deleted Bail Antilles scene is reincorporated.
 * A subplot in which Syfo-Dias (played by ILM artist Warren Fu, whom Syfo-Dias was modeled after in the first place) travels to Kamino to order the clone army is added.
 * The Battle of Theed is much, much more brutal and bloody, with over half of Theed shown being leveled in a spectacular pyrotechnic display through the use of Hyena bombers.
 * Anakin has a much better understanding of how to work the N-1 starfighter, and shoots down many enemy fighters. He also doesn't get shot down, but instead enters the Droid Control Ship's hangar knowing full well what he is doing, raking the interior and targeting the main reactor. The line "Now THIS is podracing!" is also deleted.
 * The ending scene is changed. Rather than a huge celebratory parade, there is instead a memorial to those who lost their lives in the Liberation of Theed, taking place in the wastes of Theed, which Queen Amidala vows to rebuild.

Attack of the Clones

 * Padme doesn't show much grief over Corde's death, as she had played her role as a decoy perfectly.
 * Like in The Phantom Menace, Anakin's character is overhauled. All of his whining is removed, Hayden Christensen was brought in to redub every scene Anakin was in with Tim Johnson's writing and direction, and as a whole, he is rendered much, much more tolerable.
 * The romance between Anakin and Padme is much more subtle. As a result, the lake and dinner scenes were removed, and Leland Chee would later declare them non-canon. To this day, many fans lament the loss of the memetic "I hate sand" line.
 * Severe color corrections.
 * The Lost Twenty scene was reinstated.
 * Shots showing the reconstruction of Theed are added.
 * The scenes with Padme's family were reinstated in lieu of the reviled lake and dinner scenes.
 * The Tusken Raider slaughter is shown in full-detail.
 * Young Boba Fett remains silent, making him seem angry, cold, and more in keeping with his ESB counterpart.
 * Qui-Gon's Force ghost makes an appearance, watching in horror as Anakin slaughters the Tusken Raiders and trying to stop Anakin.
 * The Tusken slaughter doesn't include women and children.
 * Jar-Jar does not give Palpatine the emergency powers. Rather, a vote occurs to give the powers. In fact, a new scene was made in which Jar-Jar voices his objection to giving the powers, before Bail Organa sternly reminds him that it's been almost a thousand years since the Ruusan Reformation, the Republic needed a standing army rather than relying on the Jedi to assist local militias, and merely recruiting men and women or pressing naval servicemembers into planetary combat wouldn't cut it.
 * The clone troopers come from several templates, not just Jango Fett. This allows the clones to be of varying heights so live-actors can be used instead of CGI. The clones also have different voice actors besides Temuera Morrison, including Dee Bradley Baker, Jeff Bennett, Matthew Wood, Steve Blum, and Tom Kane.
 * The Battle of Geonosis is expanded to feature more clone vs droid actions, such as remakes of deleted scenes.
 * The Jedi attack on the droid control ship is reinstated, and edited to replace the CGI with practical effects.
 * Like in The Phantom Menace, Yoda is replaced with the puppet used in The Last Jedi. Despite this, he remained CG in the duel with Count Dooku.
 * Rune Haako is redubbed to sound like he did in The Phantom Menace.
 * Anakin and Padme's wedding is shortened significantly to fit a scene in which Count Dooku meets with General Grievous. For this scene, an actor with the late Christopher Lee's face CG'd on was used, and dubbed over by Dooku's normal voice actor, Corey Burton.

Clone Wars

 * Several voices were changed to keep the series in-line with the CGI series. These included Matt Lanter replacing Mat Lucas as Anakin, Catherine Taber, Nika Futterman, Tasia Valenza, and Angelique Perrin replacing Grey DeLisle as Padme, Asajj Ventress, Shaak Ti, and Adi Gallia respectively, Dee Bradley Baker and Matthew Wood replacing André Sogliuzzo as the clone troopers and battle droids respectively, Wood also replacing John DiMaggio and Richard McGonagle as General Grievous, Phil LaMarr replacing McGonagle as Kit Fisto, Ian McDiarmid replacing Nick Jameson as Palpatine, Olivia d'Abo replacing Cree Summer as Luminara, Meredith Salenger replacing Tatyana Yassukovich as Barriss Offee, Liam Neeson replacing Fred Tatasciore as Qui-Gon Jinn, and Brian George and Blair Bless replaced Daran Norris as Ki-Adi-Mundi and Even Piell.

The Clone Wars

 * The opening narration was replaced by a crawl that has the same text as the narration.
 * The pace is changed to make it more like a space opera.
 * All fart jokes are removed.
 * Plot holes are filled in with new scenes.
 * Some voice actors are replaced.
 * The entire soundtrack is replaced by one composed by John Williams and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra to better fit in with the live-action movies.
 * The scene where Anakin and Ahsoka silently smile at each other for an inordinant amount of time aboard the gunship is removed due to Tim Johnson finding it "creepy".

Revenge of the Sith

 * The space battle of Coruscant is shown in much more detail, with a massive dogfighting sequence, a Munificent-class frigate being taken out in a kamikaze attack on its bridge by an ARC-170, and several Separatist ships crashing into Coruscant and causing mass destruction.
 * The super battle droids are redubbed to sound like their Clone Wars counterparts.
 * Instead of complaining about joining the Jedi Council but not becoming a master, Anakin begrudgingly thanks Mace Windu. In the discussion between Anakin and Obi-Wan afterward, Anakin suspects that his failure with Ahsoka Tano may be the reason why he wasn't promoted to master.
 * Yoda is replaced with the puppet used in The Last Jedi, but he is still CG in action sequences.
 * Palpatine tricks Anakin by claiming Kane faked his death in the opera scene.
 * General Grievous' death is much more graphic, in that instead of shooting Grievous, Obi-Wan instead uses the Force to crumple his cybernetics and crush his organs, before throwing him into a passing Vulture Droid. His line "So uncivilized..." is changed to him remarking that the Jedi could've taken Grievous down a lot earlier if they just used the Force.
 * Mace Windu's line "The oppression of the Sith will never return! You have LOST." is replaced by Mace, much angrier, shouting "You and yours will never threaten galactic stability again!"
 * Instead of cutting Mace's hand off, Anakin blocks him from striking down Palpatine, leading to a short sequence in which Anakin duels Mace, ultimately prevailing and sending him falling. A new scene also shows Mace landing on a pile of textiles, and attempting to get back to the Jedi Temple to warn everyone of Palpatine and Anakin's betrayal, only to realize he wouldn't make it in time, so he finds transportation offworld before Order 66 is issued.
 * Aayla Secura survives when Commander Bly refuses to comply with Order 66, instead helping her fake her death. Later films show that Secura and the 327th Star Corp. joined the Rebellion.
 * Operation: Knightfall is shown in full, from Vader killing Gate Master Durokk to his duel with Cin Drallig, and everything in between. Him slaughtering younglings is still kept discrete, and when he does kill them, it cuts the clones in the grand hall fighting both Jedi and Temple Security Guards alike.
 * The assassination of the Separatist council is much more graphic, showing Anakin brutally killing each member, ending with him throwing Nute Gunray into the lava.
 * Anakin's line "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!" is shortened to "The Jedi are evil!"
 * Rather than losing the will to live, Padme's death is changed to her simply fainting from the physical strain of giving birth to twins. The medical droid's lines about her dying, and Padme's funeral, are consequently removed, and replaced with Padme going into exile on Alderaan. This was to keep in-line with Obi-Wan's comment in Return of the Jedi that Padme died when Luke and Leia were four and George Lucas, who retconned that Obi-Wan lied about Padme to protect Luke (the booklet that came with the set revealed that this, too, was a lie, as Padme was still alive in A New Hope, and was killed when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan; it further elaborated that Vader sensed her presence on the planet, and, realizing that Sidious lied to him, was incredibly angry, taking it out on Obi-Wan and later Tarkin, but kept this revelation hidden from Sidious, and that this event began his four-year journey back to the light). The original scene was the result of poor communication between Sheldon Johnson Jr. (who had written and directed Return of the Jedi); Johnson replied, "Obi-Wan was Ani's friend, and thus would tell Luke the whole truth".
 * Vader's suit is changed to match Rogue One and A New Hope.
 * All mentions of Anakin being Vader are removed, remaining Vader mentions imply that he’s not related to Anakin, and Vader also storms the Temple, not Anakin.
 * Luke and Leia are not named so as to avoid spoilers, and their separations aren’t shown. Bail Organa is also not shown.
 * Vader is first seen in his suit when he rises, and his infamous "Noooooo!" is replaced by a scream similar to Mufasa's death scream from The Lion King.
 * Anakin is last seen being led away in the life-support chamber in Coruscant.
 * Tarkin's brief cameo is expanded upon, with Darth Vader and him now having an exchange of dialogue regarding Tarkin knowing Vader's true identity. This scene was shot during principal photography for Rogue One, with Guy Henry's face being replaced with a CG version of a younger Peter Cushing.
 * The line about C-3PO having his memory wiped is removed.

A New Hope

 * A complete color correction was carried out.
 * New 5.1 audio mix track with reversed surround channels fixed & a greater surround experience, using mainly a remixed 2004 DVD 5.1 audio track with elements of the Belbucus’ restored mono mix, Laserdisc 5.1 audio, the German 2004 DVD 5.1 mix, on set audio and new elements.
 * All lightsabers were re-rotoscoped to fix color (and other) errors.
 * A subwoofer channel was added to the lightsaber audio to give extra depth.
 * All of the laser blasts were re-rotoscoped for consistency. In addition, muzzle flashes and impact flasheswere added where needed.
 * All starfields were replaced/enhanced.
 * R2-D2’s lights change color (red/blue, yellow/green) when they flash to match the rest of the saga.
 * Blinking red lights were added to Darth Vader’s chestplate to match the rest of the saga.
 * An extra audio layer to Vader’s voice was added, one with a robotic-type filter, gave it a 1 frame delay and also lowered the pitch very slightly. This extra layer mixed with the original gave Vader’s voice a very subtle difference to match it closer to the Empire Strikes Back voice.
 * A blue glow was added to Falcon’s engines where missing (or wrong color), as was a red glow to Rebel fighter engines where missing.
 * The Star Wars logo was slowed down to match the speed in the rest of the saga.
 * The crawl appear slightly earlier as it did before the addition of the “A NEW HOPE” title, so it appears at the correct music cue that Williams intended.
 * The crawl was re-colored.
 * The third moon of Tatooine was added to match the number seen in Attack of the Clones.
 * The pan down was retimed so Tatooine appears at the correct musical cue.
 * The Tatooine matte rotates slightly as the ships fly overhead.
 * The flight path of Tantive IV was changed so it can be seen the whole time the Star Destroyer is coming overhead.
 * The blue hazing as the Star Destroyer’s engines come into view is removed.
 * The laser bolt that hits Tantive IV was re-positioned so it hits the spot that explodes.
 * The explosion as the Tantive IV is hit is changed to remove a lot of the smoke.
 * Tantive IV reacts to the hit and has its engines fail.
 * The starfield is sped up as Tantive is hit to match the speed it had been going in previous shots.
 * The announcement to Tantive interior from the radio drama is added.
 * The original klaxon only heard in the original 1977 mono mix is restored.
 * The Imperial breaching scene is re-edited, partially to remove continuity errors where troops can be seen dying more than once and to eliminate flip shots.
 * The full-screen pink flashes when blasters are fired are removed.
 * Lasers were added to blasters that were fired with no bolt.

 * A bit of the set was shortened so it doesn’t look like R2 is going to hit the wall after heading towards 3PO.
 * The jump cut when R2 starts to roll forward after 3PO worries about the Spice Mines is smoothed.
 * A continuity error with the Stormtrooper’s legs standing behind Vader as he tortures Captain Antilles is fixed.
 * All of Leia’s dress now glows when she is hit by the stun blast.
 * The closeup of R2 opening the escape pod door is extended so his attachment retracts.
 * The escape pod interior is re-colored blue in some shots to fix continuity errors.
 * Some rotation was added to the escape pod as it blasts off.
 * The trajectory was changed so that the escape pod heads downward as the Star Destroyer gunners watch it.
 * The view outside the escape pod window was replaced so that the Star Destroyer has the Tantive IV in its underbelly and recedes at a different rate than the stars.
 * The twin suns were added to the shot of the escape pod heading towards Tatooine and, the pod enters the atmosphere at the end.
 * The scenes of Luke on Tatooine (including Tosche Station) were restored and reincorporated into the film.
 * The blue color from the pod hatch on the ground in all shots showing it is removed.
 * The sky is changed in several shots to match the other shots.
 * The appearance of matte lines on sand dunes is reduced.
 * The sandcrawler shot removed from the Special Edition is added to replace the light reflection in the distance when 3P0 thinks he is rescued.
 * The restraining bolt mark on R2 was removed before he gets it attached.
 * The restraining bolt was moved to correct position immediately after it is attached.
 * R2’s eyepiece was darkened so you can no longer see what looked like Kenny Baker showing through.
 * Elements were added from previous shots to the Gonk droid shot due to bad levels on the 2004 DVD.

 * The skyline and rocks from the dark shot of the Sandcrawler were enhanced to closer match how it appeared pre-Special Edition.
 * The CG dewbacks were replaced with stop-motion versions.
 * The sky in the SE shots of the Sandtroopers and Sandcrawler were re-colored so the color the sky is less saturated and closer matches the sky we see at the homestead.
 * The bushes were from the shot looking up at Luke from the pit to match the shot without bushes looking from the top.
 * Beru’s voice was changed to the dub taken from the 1977 mono mix, instead of the one used on every home video version.
 * The SE moisture vaporators that were added to the long shot of the homestead but missing as Luke headed towards the droid lineup are added.
 * The wire seen coming from 3PO’s neck is removed.
 * A new shot of R2 after “Red” explodes was added to eliminate the reused shot of R2 with “Red” next to him.
 * The ILM crew member disguised as a Jawa was removed from shot of R2 heading to meet up with 3PO.
 * The spot of pink sky as 3PO wonders why he sticks his neck out for R2 is removed.

 * The music now continues into the Death Star Conference Scene, which contains the Emperor’s Theme.
 * The Conference Scene now begins with General Hurst Romodi and Colonel Wulff Yularen arguing over whether or not Tarkin was right to fire on Scarif, with Yularen believing Tarkin just wanted Krennic out of the way. New dialogue from Cassio Tagge (voiced by an impersonator) helps to segue into the original scene. For this scene, Andy de la Tour was joined by a group of studio extras during principal photography for Rogue One; Yularen was dubbed over by his voice actor, Tom Kane, in post-production.

 * A Special Edition ship is moved so that it flies behind a moisture vaporator instead of in front of it.
 * The shadow direction continuity error as Luke first looks at the Cantina is moved.
 * The Special Edition patrons that enter the Cantina are moved so that they enter earlier.
 * The bloody furry arm that Obi-Wan cuts off is replaced with a cauterized human arm (Dr. Evazan's).
 * The tiny alien no longer misses its mouth with the cup as the Stormtroopers are pointed to Obi-Wan.
 * Greedo’s “Going somewhere Solo?” subtitle appears as he’s saying it instead of it being there as the scene starts.
 * The look of the burned in subtitles on the original film is recreated.
 * Han’s “Yes” was restored to “I bet you have” just before he shoots Greedo.
 * The poor dummy shot of Greedo about to explode was replaced with a frame from earlier.
 * HAN SHOOTS FIRST. End of story.
 * The planet Scarif was added to the Death Star establishing shot, along with a Star Destroyer leaving the system as the Death Star is now operational and no longer needs an escort.
 * The stormtrooper dialog as they search for the droids door-to-door is replaced with the dialog from the 1977 mono mix.
 * The Special Edition Jabba scene is changed, removing the CG Jabba in favor of Declan Mulholland as Heater; Han still refers to him as "Jabba" once as a crack at his weight, according to the booklet that came with the Ultimate Edition set. Dialogue repeated from the Greedo scene is replaced, with Harrison Ford dubbing in new lines.
 * The R2 unit next to 3PO is recolored to red as they approach Docking Bay 94, and a glimpse of a blue one in front of the party is added to correct a continuity error.

 * The Falcon escaping Tatooine was enhanced to be more visually dynamic.
 * A Star Destroyer was added for the Falcon to dodge.
 * The additional Star Destroyers were replaced with better-looking ones.
 * The Falcon actually does “a few maneuvers” after Han claims to be able to lose them, rather than just list lazily to the left.
 * The random flashes outside the cockpit are replaced with laser blasts.
 * The stars no longer spin as the Falcon goes to lightspeed.
 * The Death Star interiors are changed to a colourless grey to have a warship feel and better match with the grey interior of the Death Star II in Return of the Jedi.
 * Alderaan is moved to come into the long shot of the Death Star approaching later and further away.
 * The rear projected image of Alderaan in the Death Star control room is replaced with a moving image of the planet that grows closer in each shot.

 * The reused closeup of R2 in the Death Star is replaced with a new background of the Falcon interior.
 * The jump cut as Luke turns off his saber for the second time is fixed, and the retracting effect is added.
 * The color was added to the remote’s laser in close up; this was missing from the 2004 DVDs.
 * Vader’s empty gesture from his meeting with Tarkin about Leia lying to them was removed.
 * A new scene in which Vader confers with Palpatine on Alderaan's destruction is added, in which Palpatine voices his fury that Tarkin chose Alderaan, of all planets, rather than an uninhabited planet like Shola. He also tells Vader he has his permission to kill Tarkin if he makes one more foolish decision, adding that Alderaan's destruction will be a major propaganda victory for the Rebellion. Palpatine is only seen from the side or from behind so Ian McDiarmid wouldn't have to go through the makeup process (McDiarmid voiced Palpatine while an uncredited actor physically portrayed him and lip-synced to McDiarmid's performance). This was also to give mystery to Palpatine.
 * The misaligned engine glow while the Falcon is in hyperspace is fixed.
 * More asteroids and the beginning of a belt when they reach where Alderaan was is added.

 * The display graphics in the small control room the heroes take over is re-colored.
 * The sound of blasters being fired at the Stormtroopers whose armour the heroes steal is replaced with Wookiee yells and punches to explain the lack of burn marks on the armor.
 * All of the SE-censored blaster impacts are un-censored.
 * An Imperial officer’s uniform as the heroes wait for the elevator is darkened to match the color in the next closer shot.
 * The guard who runs down the cell block hallway is actually shot instead of just falling over as the scenery next to him explodes.
 * The obvious cover up of the hole the Stormtroopers blast through to get into the cell block is removed.
 * The gun from the rack that the heroes took as they left is removed to fix a continuity error.
 * The matte of the tractor beam control is enhanced with Stormtroopers and a retracting bridge.
 * Han’s shot into the garbage masher is realigned so it hits its target.

 * The sound of a laser blast when no Stormtrooper has fired at Luke and Leia as they reach the chasm is removed.
 * An impact blast is added to the Stormtrooper across the chasm who falls over when the scenery next to him explodes.
 * The wide shot of Luke and Leia swinging across the chasm is enhanced to give the impression that they are higher up.
 * The lightsaber duel is reshot to make it faster-paced. Obi-Wan is depicted using a stuntman with Alec Guiness' face digitally added. This scene was shot during principal photography for Rogue One. Here is an idea of what it looks like.
