I do agree with Fjodin that the additional Wampa scenes were probably one of the few worthwhile SE additions. It always seemed awkward that the Wampa was never shown in the OT - other than flashes of fur. So while you have decided to not include it, I am also one who would enjoy it if it were included as a bonus.

I agree that the Wampa should be kept consistent. We can always rationalize discrepancies with various theories (male/female, multiple Wampas) but those are just excuses for the defects in the original costumes (or so it appears to me - which also seems to be the root cause of nothing but flashes of fur).

I felt the Jedi Rocks sequence was atrocious so am happy to hear that the decision has been made to cut it out.

Fjodin's desire to have every corner of the films fleshed out is understandable but I agree with most others that less is usually better. One of the greatest things about ESB is the conservative approach taken in its effects so as to not overshadow the story. Digital effects often have a disturbingly cartoonish quality (e.g. Joh Yowza) that stands in sharp contrast to physical world they're inserted into.
