Return of the Jedi hits different after Andor
I recently did a rewatch of the special editions and while 99% of the changes made still bug me (Vader saying "No" might be the single worst piece of writing ever added in post to any movie ever) the ending scene showing the celebration across the galaxy actually had emotional impact this time. After Andor the whole thing suddenly felt like the final closure to a much bigger story instead of tacked on scenes to hype the prequels.
I'm also even more pissed at what the Sequels did, but that's a separate rant.
