It would be interesting if this line is re-inserted into the Blue Ray version of the SE of EMPIRE, but I sincerely doubt it. If anything, I'm pretty sure we're in store for more negative changes.

Honestly, the only added scene to the SE that I truly love is the Wampa sequence in EMPIRE. Being a big fan of suitmation, I was absolutely floored by the Wampa costume when I first saw it. The shot of him sitting up with the blood dripping down from his mouth, and then shuffling over to Luke looks absolutely fantastic.

While it kind of demystified the Wampa a little bit (you get very quick shots of it in the original trilogy, and is always seemed like an "elusive" creature, what being able to blend in with his environment and creeping on unsuspecting victims!), I felt it was a fine addition to the SE version of EMPIRE, and I still stand by that. The other changes, I could DEFINITELY live without.

The changing of Boba Fett's voice and the sequence with the Emperor (in the 2004 version) are the two things that down right piss me off, and make the SE of EMPIRE almost completely unwatchable for me.
