I replied to this in the ANH:R thread. The fade was always there in ANH until the SE came along and for some reason they omitted it (probably something to do with the added Jabba scene and the amount of wipes between the scenes). All i did was restore what was originally there, and had been for 20 years

I understand your reasons for the change, and wasn't in any way having a go. I'm sorry you've taken offense. I only mentioned it because I was wondering whether there were any such fades in the original ESB, and if so, would you be restoring these too? I'm not familiar enough with the original cut to remember whether there were any fades.

Also, in regards to the heat effect on the torture device, what you said makes sense. An electrical effect would be more believable in terms of Han not being burnt to a crisp.
