For some reason I remember it being a comunnication thing betwen Han and Leia on Hoth. Thats all I remember. I saw it many, many times after that in the theatre, and it was always the same from then on. However I still remember that 2nd viewing, like it was yesterday, thinking, "this is different. Not sure how, but different".
I was 7 at the time and living in Toronto.
Hmmmm...

I had a nearly indentical experience when I when to see "Aliens" 2 days after the opening night show that I attended, at you guessed it the magical Paramount in Edmonton in 70mm. I couldn't put my finger on it at first and my buddy said the remote guns in the hallway are gone. Yes sir, that was it. I saw it 6 times without the guns that summer and 1 with the guns. There were other cuts that a few other people we knew noticed when they saw it again.
So Scotty in Chicago left that review. Not me. It is funny that he calls the experience of seeing the preview cut a curse. I think it's not having a copy to watch again is the true curse.
