Watched this today. The alternate audio from the Super 8mm print of the movie is fascinating. A pity the audio from the SE was used for this. At one point in Cloud City you can hear a CG elevator going by, but no elevator can be seen. Also, there are several points in the SE mix where the original music that John Williams wrote was restored (usually shots of the Imperial fleet). In the earlier mix, these sequences were tracked with "The Imperial March". It would have been nice to have these easily located bits put on here, as well as some of the dialogue changes made to the SE, such as Han's, "Come on" being added after "Transport, this is Solo. Better take off-I can't get to you. I'll get her out on the Falcon." Threepio also has an added line after the Asteroid field chase in the SE and 2004 mix.

Also, is there any explanation for moving the first appearance of the Imperial fleet? It's awkward and feels really out of place. I'm not as familiar with Empire as I am with Star Wars, but it seems like this was the only scene that was moved in "Building Empire". At least with the Star Wars doc, the re-ordering was done to reflect an early draft and the whole thing was changed around. This one bit in Empire really bugged me though and felt more like a mistake than a recreation. During this scene, when Vader walks over to the Imperials, he walks past the control pit. I think that's a flipped shot from the end of the movie, but no mention of this is made.

Nicely done overall.
