The ESB reels were apparently released on June 1, 1980, which is a mere 11 days after opening day. TESB opened exclusively in 70mm, which may explain why that cut would have been used on the Super 8 reels.
I think there are a lot more than that. I'm going to go break out the fine-toothed comb and go over it.

This disc seems like it could be very beneficial to a reconstruction of the 70mm prints of ESB. I'm gonna start moving some of the camparison pics and such to the appropriate thread.

- Luke - "I don't pick up any life readings" - Different take
- Han - "I'm going back" - Different take
- More rebels calls of 'retreat' when Walkers attack
- Leia "They're getting closer [star destroyers] - Different take - she stutters it twice
- Cloud Car pilots - Different line - will confirm with actual line asap.
- Leia "I know where Luke is" is replaced by "we must go back" or something similar
- C3P0 - new line just before "I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me" - It's something like "I'm glad we are back together"
- The frigate at the end looks decidedly different - i will have to check this.
Cloud City Security - "Any aggressive move will not be tollerated!"
Cloud Cit Security - "Permission granted to land on platform 3-2-7. Any deviattion will" - Han cuts of comms.
Leia - "Lando, hurry up, we've got company!" (as Lando is rescuing Luke from the weathervane)
C3P0- "Get away from there, you don't know how to fix the hyperdrive!

So Sluggo, do you think that this is indeed the 70mm cut on these Super 8 reels? I just don't want to jump the gun, but it certainly looks that way. This is very exciting.
I'll post anything else I find in that other thread.
