Before I post the spread I just want to clean it up a bit. I also have a couple questions

-Ben at the tractor-beam matte painting: unchanged in the SE?

-Greedo and Han: is it just the one shot of them firing, or did they delete, shorten or alter the shot of Greedo exploding? The album just lists the wideshot of them firing but I thought there was more.

-Finally: we really only identified that one shot of Luke in the cockpit? Isn't that shot repeated twice?

Yes, that is one of the few matte paintings still left untouched. It seems Mr. Ellenshaw wasn't good enough. However, the blue force field could've possibly been recomped, I don't know.

Doesn't the Han/Greedo sequence miss a few frames either before or after the spliced in shot?

Another thing that could've been recomped is the beacon/glow effect from the Sandcrawler when threepio calls for help. Haven't checked it myself.

The old pan & scan transfers could maybe be helpful when spotting the more well made recomposites.

Nice technical breakdown of all the changes btw.
