We know all-too-well that George Lucas has a penchant for "fixing" his movies in subsequent home video releases, though one of his revisions for Attack of the Clones' DVD release actually makes sense.

In the movie's original theatrical release, it wasn't quite as clear that Jango Fett's (Temuera Morrison) jetpack malfunctioned while he tried to flee from Mace Windu in the seconds before the Jedi cut his head off.

And so, for the home video release Lucas added some distinctive sparks to Fett's jetpack to visually sell the idea that his jetpack was indeed busted and prevented him from flying to safety.
