I'm still at a loss as to why they changed Luke saying "You're lucky you don't taste very good" to Artoo after he gets spit out of the swamp to "You're lucky to get out of there".

That was what the line was in the original audio mix when the film was first released on 70 mm film. "You're lucky to get out of there" is literally the original line that you would have heard in theaters if you saw Empire during its first month of release. The was changed for the 35 mm version, which was sent out a month after the 70 mm version in a wider release, and which featured many other small changes to the film that had been made by Lucas after the 70 mm version had already been finalized and sent out.

By the time the OT was being remastered for the Special Editions, the audio had become very badly degraded in certain places, and so pieces of the original audio track were subbed in for those portions. That's where the alternate Luke line in ESB and the alternate Han line in ROTJ during the sarlacc battle come from. They're just alternate takes of lines used to replace ones that had degraded too badly to be properly restored.

There are many other minor differences between the audio mixes of various releases (including the VHS releases) which are so minor that most people never noticed or cared about them. But they're there, and the reasons for them are completely reasonable and innocent. This isn't a phenomenon limited to Star Wars film releases, by the way.

But if you're in any way interested in fidelity to the "original" version, I'm afraid the line in the Special Edition is the one you're looking for.

Wow that's nuts. I did see the movie in the theater but I remember looking at the newspaper as a kid (movies were next to the comics in my paper growing up) and seeing Empire starting to fall away from some theaters and begging my parents to take me before it was gone from theaters entirely so I definitely didn't see it with that line. Weird.

Yeah I liked it being about ultimate forgiveness a lot more than I liked the prequels being about Buddhist detachment. But in the end I'm still not convinced that the prequels weren't strongly saying Anakin's relationship was his downfall or were promoting love or maturity in any way.

If you approach the prequels with the fundamental assumption that the Jedi Order—as an institution—is noble and just and wise all the time, then those films definitely suck and make no sense.

“I know why I have feelings — good, bad and otherwise — about Star Wars,” Perry explained. “…I spent the whole day talking about the Darth Vader situation.”

“The part where he was totally a black guy, whose name was basically James Earl Jones,” she said. “While he was black he was terrible and bad, awful and used to cut off white men’s hand, and didn’t actually claim his son. But as soon as he claims his son, goes over to the good, takes off his mask and he is white — yes, I have many feelings about that.”

To be fair GoF was kinda garbage, and the complaints about angsty Harry in 5 are pretty valid, but 6 and 7 were great and no one had any right to complain about them.
