I haven't read this thread all the way threw so I don't know if anyone has addressed this yet, but I have an issue with the new scene of the Emperor in ESB. Part of the magic of the Emperor (if you haven't seen ep 1-3 of course) is you don't really know who this guy is. He was a shadowy figure with a calm well spoken British accent. I'm not crazy about the new make-up. To me it looks dodgy in moments and at times, the angles and make-up make him look over-weight. I think he should look a bit more obscure, as he did prequels. perhaps even garble the transmission slightly (but not too much), they are after all just coming out of an asteroid field.
