I agree with sweyland. Small changes can have a large impact. Especially when it comes to changes that actually degrade instead of improve and are meant to have a major impact on how certain characters are portrayed (Greedo shooting first being the most prominent example, heck even jimbo doesn't like that one). Censoring the Death Star gunfights certainly is yet another thing even jimbo wouldn't call an improvement, I suppose.

However I also agree with jimbo, that there are a lot of things that just intensify the mood (the capture of R2 in the SE is a good example, imho) of the setting. I liked moving that scene further into dusk, it kinda gave it an eerie feel to the first jawa encounter.

Finally, I have to say that I share rebel scumb's list of changes that had to be removed to make me embrace the SE a bit more. Lots of things are actually cool changes.

As soon as that OT+SE DVD set will come out, I'll make my custom version of the trilogy with perfect sound and picture. Coming to think of it, that may be what Lucas is afraid of. Just another one of those guesses... I guess.
