I am also for the school of "less is more" sometimes. Especially with minor details like these. I mean once we see Vader on his bridge, it's pretty clear that's where he went.

But at the same time, I can see how some people get lost in location changes like that. Lucas goes to great lengths to visually separate the locations so that a viewer can instantly know where they are at any given moment, but in that one part, it's like Vader is on the gantry in the middle of cloud city, then suddenly he's on the bridge of his Star Destroyer?

I agree the edit does sort of break up the pacing that was there originally. Maybe it can be smoothed out for the box set next year.
