Sorry, but I cannot organize the picture, just add photos and insert captions.  (but if the order is an issue, i've got the pics as links in the shot guide, backup reference)

I think the SW only idea was quickly thrown out the window.  Judging from the amount of work, represented by the number of pics in the original SW.com guides (122, 151, 97) and the doubleofive guides (353, 345, 159), and the modified shot guide (315, 351, 220).  Consistently RotJ had a lighter touch, but all the movies were significantly altered and I don't see what they've done to one movie much lesser then the others.  SW seems in the middle, ESB got more clean up then new material while RotJ was primarily new additions.

There was talk in the 2011 BD thread of one of the reels of Jedi looking 'soft', wondering if this is related.
