Sorry, Chewtobacca - my caffeine intake must have been off the chart the night I posted this.

No problem! :-) What you want from the Empire Strikes Back is actually achievable, so an editor who likes the Cloud City additions might do that at some point. I take it you prefer Clive Revill as the emperor too.

I think, for continuity reasons it was fine to replace Clive Revill (although he had a great voice for that scene) and I think, in the context of the revelation at the end of the film, the changes to the dialogue aren't so troubling either; it just hammers home that Vader wanted to overthrow the Emperor with his son by his side.

However, Ian McDiarmid seems to have no animation to his face at all in that scene. It's quite odd to watch.
