Noticed this when I last skimmed through the '97 version of Empire, I've sort of pointed it out before but then I went by your screen-caps. Anyway, these two shots of the bridge have a static Stardestroyer outside the windows in the original, but they added some motion to it in the SE, which is nice I guess but as there is some time going on between these two shots, the second matte should have had a differently positioned Stardestroyer, both are using the same fx-work which makes it a little deja vu-shot.
^ Love the deliberatly removed color red in the '04 transfer. ;)
