I've been thinking about what else might need to be changed in Empire. Everyone has said pretty much all of my thoughts, except for one. While leaving Hoth, Luke and R2 have a conversation via a translation screen.

There are several things about this that could use help. For one, the panel drifts while the text stays in the exact same spot. Another thing would be to replace the text with Aurebesh, meaning we'd have to come up with lines for R2. And lastly, the whole panel is pretty lackluster. I came up with some ideas to help this.

I added some red-tinted scanlines to the screens, where it might be neat to add more interfaces in the smaller screens. I added a translation in Aurebesh ("query: would you like me to take over for you?", a la HK-47's speech pattern) and a screen showing R2.

I noticed in these scenes besides the usual side shots of R2 from the wing, there were a few head on shots from inside the cockpit I thought these could be shots from a camera pointed at R2 for this reason and could be recycled for the few seconds the panel is on screen.

And in the original shots using that camera angle, we could have the screen-like overlay over that video, showing what Luke sees when he's looking at the panel.

What do you guys think? Too much for too little of a shot? There are only two short shots leaving Hoth, and one from Return of the Jedi while leaving Tatooine.
