The single change that annoyed me most in 1997!

Same here - if only for the painful butchering of the 'Losing a Hand / Hyperspace' music cue.
Fair points about Burtt, but let's not convince ourselves that good sound design and good editing are mutually exclusive - Walter Murch sucessfully made the same transition (albeit quite a bit earlier - Apocalypse Now was one of his first picture editing jobs).
His more recent work for Anthony Minghella has been masterful - just look at The English Patient and tell me that the prequel trilogy wouldn't benefit from that kind of restraint...
