Is it wrong that I find the new line both horribly amusing and entertaining? It must be the tone... It's gotta be the tone!
If I recall correctly, "alert my Star Destroyer" is an unused line from the recording sessions for Star Wars, and is why it sounds so odd. Take a listen, then watch the original film (the non-Revisited version with the original audio); it really does sound more like it fits there than in ESB, where James Earl Jones pitched his voice to the way we're now used to hearing it. Ol' Vader was a bit more of a higher-pitched hothead in that one, particularly when interrogating Rebel prisoners on captured transports. :-)
