in regards to vaders suit I think it should be dulled down a little bit in ESB and ROTJ because a new hope it wasnt shiney at all. one question though seeing as I havent yet got star wars revisited was vaders voice tampered with because in the film i thought it sounded like vader was talking through a walkie talkie were as his voice was crisp and booming in the other films.

I feel the exact opposite. For me, it is Vader in ANH that looks (and sounds) a bit dull. TESB is often considered Vader's finest hour and I think his look was a hugh contributing factor to that. I vastly prefer his suit to be shiny. As for Boba Fett, I would prefer him cut from ROTJ entirely.

I agree about the voice, though. I often feel like ANH-Vader is a prototype-Vader that doesn't mesh well with the other films. His voice is poor, his suit is duller, he acts like a lackey rather than a commander, nobody is afraid of him, etc.

As I understand it, Adywan did alter his voice somewhat for the DVD-9. I have listened to a test clip and it did improve things, but I unfortunately think nothing short of a redub would entirely bring the voice quality up to TESB/ROTJ level.

Btw, no critism to James Earl Jones at all. He did a great delivery in ANH, as he always does. It is likely the cheap recording technology that is to blame here.
