This shot was recomped in 2004:

(the easisest way to spot it, is the different timings/positions of the TIE's)

The 2004-wipe for this shot look almost identical to the '97-wipe this time.

(notice the slightly different position of the composites in the '04-DVD)

'97 SE - timed against your comparison:

The actual wipe look the same, it is just that the Yoda-footage is slightly bigger and in a different position compared to the footage of the Stardestroyer.

 

This shot was remade for the 2004 DVD and is not on your list:

these two aren't synced up though, the thin purple lasers were green in earlier transfers, and in the '97 SE as well. (another GOUT-flaw)

 

And that change makes another wipe needed...

'97 SE - timed against your comparison::

 

This one could be a 2004 change, I wasn't able to tell because of the horrible motion-smear on my '97-source.

 

I checked all of these and they are incorrectly marked, the garbage mattes were not eliminated from these in '97, if they ever was:

 

 

And they're still left in the 2004 DVD in these shots, you just don't see them unless your equipment is calibrated wrong. ;)
