I never understood the point of this scene at all. The original had a suitably sullen/disappointed Vader making his way back to his ship. Never one for small talk (or pleasantries it seems) he utters "Bring my shuttle." I mean, he has failed the Emperor, unburdened a harsh truth to his son (after cutting his hand off first) watched said son then plunging to a possible death...

At the same time, his leverage is escaping, his son is hanging on for his life (I'm sure Vader could sense he was still alive...) I just find it hard to believe he would really care for his Star Destroyer to stop what they are doing and set up a parade for his return. I mean, if he had come jogging out of the shuttle, shoving the officer out of his way so he could quickly get to the destroyers command centre, then maybe I would have bought it instead of tacking on an unused scene of Jerjerrod (?!?) from Jedi. I have seen people praising this scene as an well used addition to the film. Am I missing some great potential in this shot? What reminded me of this is that the Wookieepedia and EU material have retconned Jerjerrod to have really been present in Empire the whole time.

Also, his voice when he commands his destroyer to prepare for his arrival sounds off to me.

yeah, of all the changes this is the one that really annoys me.

"Bring my shuttle" was one of the fiercest sounding readings JEJ ever gave and they cut it out!!!! And stick in the single worst lamest sounding reading ever of the new lines which don't even fit into the story as well. And was there a single person who ever got confused by what Lucas thought needed to be spelled out in the new scene?

I really miss that "Bring my shuttle" line it just fit perfectly and had such a perfect reading!
