Doubleofive’s got the definitive collection of SE visual changes, but does anyone have a list of audio changes? I honestly don’t even know what 90% of them are.
I could probably do a highlights reel, but nothing definitive.
Star Wars
85: Threepio’s tractor beam lines added
93: Shattering glass sound effects added in cell bay shootout
97: All kinds of new audio for all the new scenes, most notably crappy knockoff dinosaurs make crappy knockoff dinosaur noises
04: Obi-Wan’s call that scares off the Sandpeople now sounds like the sound effects guy got drunk
11: Obi-Wan’s call that scares off the Sandpeople now sounds like some guy yelling in a parking lot
19: Greedo yells “Maclunkey!” just before Han shoots him
Empire
93: More-or-less good but still flawed attempt to remaster the 1980 audio, missing a sound effect for the snowspeeder crash
97: All kinds of new audio for all the new scenes, most notably the Emperor from the wrong film inexplicably screams offscreen as Luke falls in Cloud City
04: That bit where the Emperor from the wrong film inexplicably screams is removed, and Boba Fett is overdubbed by some dude
11: Can’t think of any audio content changes, but do you seriously think it’s likely there aren’t any?
19: Vader yells “Maclunkey!” just before Han shoots at him
Jedi
93: More-or-less good remaster of 1983 audio, with very slight content differences (thunder during transition to Yoda’s hut)
97: All kinds of new audio for all the new scenes, most notably Jabba’s palace is interrupted by a horrifying music video
04: Jar-Jar yells at the end of the film
11: That guy from Shattered Glass inexplicably screams “No! No!” offscreen as Vader starts to throw the Emperor into the reactor
19: The Sarlacc yells “Maclunkey!” just before Han shoots its tentacle
