The box tries to pass them off as the original trilogy, and I don't believe there was ever an official statement saying there were any changes. I think this whole operation was very covert, so it makes sense to me that they wouldn't address it on the commentary, just to make the uninformed to blindly follow him, and to piss off people like me.

Ok, but the ESB Emperor scene! Everyone has noticed that, even the non hard fans. Watching this scene with the commentary without any allusion to it is a pretty weird feeling, I find...
And I'm not even talking about the "Hayden ghost" scene...
