I haven't been able to analyze the entire film yet, but I can clear up a few things already:

- The 'window there - not there' effect when Lando leads Han, Chewie and Leia to Vader is still there.

- Boba Fett's original voice replaced with Jango Fett's voice (sounds far too clear and unraspy, very sloppy job - even for fans of this change it'll be hard to understand the lack of passion involved when implementing this change).

- Luke does NOT scream anymore during his "I'd rather die than join you" gesture, plunging himself down the giant ventilation shaft of Bespin.

- The Imperial officer's rank insignia having the wrong color (black instead of blue) has been fixed.

Another thing I noticed, but was not sure if it was in the SEs as well: After the "Notify my stardestroyer to prepare for my arrival." (no they haven't reverted it back to "Bring my shuttle!", just lowerd the pitch a tiny bit to make it fit in with the ESB tone of voice) scene, you see Vader and his vassals walk outside of the building towards a landing platform. This shot seemed new to me, but I'll have to snag my SE tapes to check it.

Btw, in RotJ the Luke/Leia dialogue about their mother was not tampered with in the version I saw (but the Emperor's death was 'digitally enhanced' and the rebel fleet moving away from the deathstar is now cgi ships moving away from the about-to-explode battlestation with noticeable speed).

I'll be back with more news from the "Palpie's phone call" scene.
