Anakins eyebrows digitally removed?
Ian not only replaces Clive, but the dialouge is expanded?
i think there are more subtle changes in these films than we know about even at this point.

Here's what it the original wishlist said, before any of my changes:
ANH: 7. The shooting scene between Han and Greedo has been restored.
8. Jabba the Hutt has been given a better CGI makeover. Han no longer steps on his tail.
ESB: 1. The taun-tauns are now CGI.
10. Luke's fall from Cloud City has been reshot against bluescreen using a stuntman.
ROTJ: 2. The Rancor is now CG and he looks as disgusting as ever.
12. Sebastion Shaw who played as Anakin when he was unmasked has been replaced by Hayden Christenson in old age make-up. Anakin has much more dialogue. He apologizes for the destruction he caused, he thanks his son for turning him back to the light, he tells his son to rebuild the Jedi and he says he loves him and his sister. Just before he dies he says, "It is finished...".
SO THE ABOVE PART OF THE WISHLIST IS HOW IT ORIGINALLY APPEARED BEFORE ANYONE KNEW ABOUT THE CHANGES. I MADE SLIGHT MODIFICATIONS TO THEM TO ACCOMIDATE THE ACTUAL CHANGES MADE. STILL, THEY WERE PRETTY CLOSE GUESSES.
Oh and, the emperor thing, wow, that one was exact! How did anyone know they'd update the dialog as well?

It's cool. I should have made it more clear. But the thing about the emperor I didn't change.. That one was dead on! Plus all of the other changes, people knew they'd change, but just not exactly how.

It wasn't much of a guess to say they'd clean up matte lines and white boxes around sfx. That's a no-brainer.
Some of the other changes were *plausable* and others were just ridiculous.
I'm glad that Luke's scream has been removed, even if Greedo still shoots first. I saw the screen caps for that and it looks... better.
But here's a few questions to those who've seen the actual discs:
Can you still see through the solid parts of the speeders on Hoth?
Does Han still say "You're a wonderful human being to Jabba?"
Has Lucas's daughter been digitally inserted into the background at the cantina?
Is the song from the 1997 RotJ in Jabba's palace the same, with the cartoon lips and all?

Opinions on the changes should be in this thread:
http://dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread....hreadid=377413
The idea is to keep arguments in that thread, so this thread can stay open and be an info source for those that want to know what's on the DVD without skimming over arguments among fans and bashers of Lucas.

I'm trying to include only "confirmed" stuff in my post on the first page, not any rumors. I know that there was some guy on the MF forum that was extremely credible and he said something vague about the scene being the same, but "playing better" now. I'm not quite sure what he was getting at, other than the scene had been fixed in some way so it looks more natural.
Someone mentioned screen shots... any links?
Feel free to let me know if anything is missing from my post too... I think I have pretty much everything (although I have to replace the pictures every now and then as some of the links die. )

something I would like to see that has not been discussed are the deleted scenes from all 3 movies.
Star Wars: the Biggs Darklighter and Toshi Station Scenes (which can be sceen in the Behind The Magic CD rom
Empire: All that Stuff ith the Wampas
Jedi : The sandstorm scene and the scene where Vader chokes out the Royal Guard.
I'd love to see these and other deleted scenes either in the film or on the bonus disc, but it probably wont happen.

As an extra - well, who knows. But certainly not back into the film, I'd wager.

Rumor has it that Han and Greedo now shoot at more or less the same time, instead of the "Greedo shoots first" from the 97 SE. Time will tell, I guess. At least it's a slight improvement.
Han calling Jabba a "wonderful human being" in the Jabba scene is about the only good thing about it. Otherwise, it only rehashes what we already know from the Greedo exchange. Still sort of baffling why this "deleted scene" was reincluded, while the more meaningful Luke/Biggs scenes weren't. (Biggs is already named early in the movie, and we later see him die during the attack on the Death Star.)

Don't forget, the 30th anniversery of a certain movie is coming up in 2007. Don't think this is the last treatment of these movies that we will ever see on DVD. I think the deleted scenes mentioned above will surface someday. Here is a cool site that goes into great detail on scenes left on the cutting room floor.

I think the Jabba scene was included in the 1997 version so that there'd be a new scene in ANH. That's it. Unseen footage - a reason for people to go see these again.
Now the animation's been fixed - hopefully it won't look like Han is talking to a cartoon - but again, the scene is superfluous.
How many years passed between ANH and RotJ? Shouldn't Jabba look nearly like he does in RotJ? I mean, have even ten years passed between ANH and the end of the trilogy?
