The two things I found most distracting/annoying about ANH:R were
-Additional Wilhelm screams. That scream takes me right out of the movie because it is heard EVERYWHERE and is not unique to Star Wars. In fact I was hoping it would be removed when Chewie throws the Storm Trooper off the carbon freezing deck.
-Overly bright/colorful laser blasts. Just because they are in the PT like that doesn't mean they work in the OT. Consistency for the sake of consistency is not always the best idea.
I am hoping these two aspects will be dropped for ESB:R, as they made ANH:R unenjoyable to watch at times.
Well for one i only added one scream to ANH:R and that was right at the beginning. Any others in there have always been there.
The re-rotoscoped lasers had very little to do with consistency with the PT. it was more to get consistency with the OT than anything else. Laser would change from shot to shot. One minute they had a bright core and the next they were just plain red. many of the lasers in the Tantive IV battle had a yellowish or white core originally in 1977 thanks to so called restoration ( THX - Lowrey).
Check out these shots taken from the pre-ANH bootleg so this is how ANH looked in the cinemas before any tinkering. You can clearly see the light core and the Yellow one in the shot of the rebels.
Now the lasers again would change throughout the movie. some with cores and many without.
Now again in ESB the same thing and as you can see from the Revisited screenshot at the bottom the lasers now match.
and also some examples of lasers in ROTJ
So all i have done is restored the cores and in the process bring the two trilogies visually closer together. Because the lasers aren't solid, removing all the cores would have been an almost impossible task, and work that didn't need to be done. Because i am doing all 6 movies there is no way i can make the PT lasers look like how the OT lasers look and i do want that consistency too. Its a bit stupid that all the lasers pre ANH have cores then suddenly many of them are one solid colour (which the same laser bolt changes at times between shots. It has a core then doesn't, the Han firing at Vader scene is one example)

I hope that Ady removes Mark's arm-tummy in all the shots where it can be seen, I know that it's being tucked for the end of the duel.
Check the screenshots on the first page. thats been fixed a long time ago
