Why do people keep on saying the scene with the added "Nooooo" now mirrors the scene in ROTS? The scene without the audio tweaks mirrored a scene in ROTS already and was a lot better than Vader's "birth" scene.

Sadly, I doubt Lucas intended these scenes to mirror each other. People who think the added "NOOOOO" is the perfect mirror to the one in ROTS sadly misinterpret repetition as a form of mirroring.
It isn't, it's lazy storytelling that over explains it for sake of the few who don't understand what is going on. Even as a child, I enjoyed the scene in Jedi because despite the mask, you knew what Vader was thinking and no dialogue was needed. Then or now!
Can someone explain to me how mirroring makes for good storytelling? Granted it makes the films interesting, but wouldn't the fact that the film deals with the Jedi vs. the Sith/Empire and center around the Skywalkers be enough? If you really want mirroring, run all six movies through a black magic program and overlay all the scenes.
One could argue that the movie 10 Things I Hate About You was designed to mirror Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, but the fact that one was designed to mirror the other isn't a guarantee of quality.
I could design a £16 note on my computer, and if it looks like other legitimate notes, it doesn't make my own version valuable. Mine still remains a counterfeit.
Someone needs to educate those fans that insist on the superficial analysis of these movies that cardboard archetypes moving in synchronization is not what makes these movies good. They aren't using any critical analysis, but just looking through the glass darkly.
Mirroring is really best if you are building a house of mirrors.
