Not at all. The last scene with Darth Vader before you see him on the Star Destroyer has him walking outside onto a landing platform. He's stomping and his voice oozes with anger and frustration as he says, "Prepare my shuttle." That was gorgeous.

Lucas' change had Darth Vader stroll outside and, in a dull, stuffy-nosed voice, say "Alert my star destroyer to prepare for my arrival." Then we get this huge scene depicting Darth Vader landing his shuttle on the SSD while we're supposed to be worried if Luke and the others are escaping. All in all, in place of a good scene, we get horrible dialogue, bad acting, and and ruined dramatic pacing. Typical George.

Oh, and Go-Mer, I assume that the idea of Darth Vader finding C-3PO is official since it's in the visual guide. I wonder if George will make a full, CGI render of that scene for his 2007 edition.
