Is this a stand alone version? or episode 4 in the saga?
My guess is it's the later. Just by looking a your first post in the thread:

"Pistol blasts now match closer to the prequel trilogy..."
"Also re-painted the sabers so they tie in with the rest of the saga."

As far as the senate scene goes, it would be fun to see, but I feel the same way as tellen. Just not needed.
Maybe as a deleted scene though?

This is episode 4. I'm intending to do all 6 in the saga but because Ep 4 needs the most work on effects fixes i decided to start with that first (plus i'm waiting til TPM is release with the CG yoda and not that horrible puppet). My whole intention is to tie all 6 films together so that if you watch them back to back so that:
1. OT doesn't look so dated with its effects compared to the PT. Plus there was a lot of things in ANH that i was hoping Lucasfilm had fixed by now, but haven't and doesn't look like they are planning on anytime soon.
2. by adding a few tie-ins from the PT to the OT (and editing the PT) they flow together better (and not just a montage of planets at the end of the saga

It would be cool to see the emperor disolve the senate but i can't see it fitting in without having to sacrifice most of the Tarkin scene. But the idea of a deleted scene has stirred my imagination.

If anyone wants has some scenes or shots they wish was in ANH, even if it wouldn't fit in the film, then please post them in here. I've had an idea of, as a special feature, making a montage of completely new clips or shots. I want to throw a few humourous ones in too, so let me know. I will probably only have the capability & material to do some but it could be a cool special feature for the DVD

On another note, theres something that is really bugging me about the 5.1 English audio track on the DVS. There is bleedover from the dialogue into the front Left & Right chanels. I've been searching for a foriegn 5.1 audio track from the 2004 dvds but int the UK the only audio track is English. If anyone has a DVD of ANH with a foreign 5.1 audio track could you please post just the ripped .ac3 file somewhere please. it doesn't matter what language it is or that it is NTSC or PAL it would just save a lot of work for my new mix and eliminate that horrible bleed over.

thanks (with fingers crossed)
