I must admit that I thought (when I was 7, watching it for the first time) that Star Wars really picked up the pace once they entered the Mos Eisley Cantina.
Does anybody know if the Vader-shuttle stuff was screwed up in the '97 SE? I don't remember ever having a problem with it, really.
You are free to assume that I hate ANH and ROTJ SEs with a vengeance.
