Young Anakin must go from the end of Jedi, no doubt about it. Ady', on your internal debate about the ESB shuttle scene, my vote is to excise it entirely. Half of it is Jedi footage anyway and the musical score is simply ruined by the break in the pace. By that point in the story the audience has seen enough space and ships in IV and V to safely assume Vader takes a ship back to his Star Destroyer. We don't need to see it. I also agree that the original "Bring my shuttle" line sounds much more appropriately irritated and angry versus the more mellow "Alert my Star Destroyer blah blah blah...."
Now if only something could be done about that dumb Special Edition Wampa in the beginning of the movie....
Sorry - ESB is like fine china for me, perfect in every way (although I am not including any "true" improvements Ady will likely add-he has proven he has a respectful eye for these things) - I hate what has been wrought upon ESB by the reckless special editions.
