Thank you, thank you Adywan.  This is just all kinds of wonderful.  I can now watch Empire without feeling 'unclean' as I do when I watch the SE.

For years now I have felt that the jammed in 'Vader goes to his ship' scenes have been overlooked as one of the most destructive of the SE changes.  What was the dramatic crux, and maybe the best paced and edited part of the entire entire trilogy, is just ruined.  The rhythm of it, the timing of the music (also maybe the best arc of music ever to grace a film), the very emotion of it is thrown out of whack.  Even a amateur film maker wouldn't make this mistake.

I'm glad to hear that you might try to do an HD upgrade of this.  Please give it a shot.  I would kill for that.
