Does anyone know where I can find a comprehensive list of the SE changes?

Thanks,

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"[George Lucas] rebooted the franchise in 1997 without telling anyone." -skyjedi2005

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Rewrite the Prequels!

Star Wars, Empire and Jedi, all on the official site.

IIRC audio changes are not covered though.

Alternatively you could check this article on Wikipedia, 'cannot say how reliable it is.

 

 

Mod Edit: Unfortunately some of the articles linked to above no longer work. However, the Internet Archive’s WayBack Machine has a working functioning link for them, here:-

Star Wars

Empire Strikes Back

Return Of The Jedi
 

with doubleofive’s re-upload and compiling of them, here:-

they forgot to point out the missing wink from Luke at the end of Jedi, but I guess any "improvements" made are more important to them than any pieces of film history that got buried underfoot.

Yeah, don't get me started on the wiki article.
