they are indeed real, and various insiders and even some official Lucasfilm employees have confirmed them.
Official Lucasfilm employees sounds a little weak. Here's the confirmation which went to the NYTimes (and I don't think anyone else)
http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/31/lucasfilm-confirms-change-to-blu-ray-release-of-return-of-the-jedi/
On Wednesday, a press representative for Lucasfilm confirmed that this change will be included in the Blu-ray release, writing in an e-mail: “Yes — Darth says NO.”
So switch to maybe "they are indeed real, as confirmed by Lucasfilm to the NYTimes." (as a link)
I've been on a ESB Luke Trampoline kick of late, could that get tacked onto the end of:
So is Obi Wan's shorting out saber, so is ESB's Luke trampoline head.
The soundtrack also seems very similar. Although Matthew Wood says he re-mixed Star Wars from scratch using the raw sound effects, this is suspect.
None of the articles (i've read) where Woods talks do they specify WHEN this from scratch re-mixing work took place. I think it was done for the 2004. So they're not lying, it took place, just not explicitly for this set.
the "humdinger" glitch
The SW community barely knows of this, so could point people here: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Humdinger-Analysis-Thread-Glitch-Cryptography-or-Steganography/topic/13030/
The rocks disappear in later shots too.
A pic of this would be nice. Especially for the continuity people.
The Sounds of Star Wars
Being nice could point to the SW.com page: (it's a very nice book)

or Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Sounds-Star-Wars-J-Rinzler/dp/0811875466
Remember how much flak that got, and it became a whole internet meme with entire websites and mockumentaries about how embarassingly dumb it was?
One of my fav was "The United States of Noooo!!!" which years later would turn out to be by the RedLetterMedia guy. http://redlettermedia.com/shorts/the-united-states-of-noooo/
Remember, eventually all those OT deleted scenes on here--the real reason you want the set--will be on Youtube.
Cut youtube. Jump right to renting or buying used.
Maybe add Conclusion: before
Conclusion:
So, just to remind, this is what you will be getting this September.
Visual clue of the wrap up.
Maybe i've been reading about these changes a lot, but at some point mentioning so many of them seems like promotion.
The same colouring problems of 2004
