OK watched this today, very good. Particulary like the falcon/tie approaching the death star, obi wan/vader fight and of course the final battle scene, which now is in a more logical progression. From the dog fighting for 'air' supremecy over the death star to the 3 attempts at dropping the torpedoes down that damn hole.
Agree about the severed limb looks too flat and unreal, and the final death star explosion scene, although good in concept the planet seems to overpower the scene and distracts away from the explosion.
