Is there a comparison video for Ady's version of Bens hut vs original? I'm not sure exactly what was changed.
If I remember correctly, in the original/theatrical version, Luke and Ben talk about Luke's father for a bit, stop to watch Leia's video, then pick up with "YOU must learn the ways the of the Force if you are to come with me to Alderaan." In the scripted/Revisited version, they watch Leia's video, then stop to talk about Luke's father and the Force before deciding to go.

You can see Threepio moving around when he's supposed to be shut down in the original cut due to the rearranging. It was redited because the scripted version made Obi-wan not look in a hurry to rescue Leia since he listens to her message and then sits around gabbing with Luke for a few minutes before bringing it back up. A problem with the theatrical cut could be that they don't watch the message for several minutes, but that could be that they were so busy catching up that they forgot R2 was there at all.

After watching the scripted/Revisited version so often, the original/theatrical edit seems disjointed, as you can now "see" the seams where it was grafted together.

I still disagree. I like how they start off chatting, showing that there is a friendship between them before getting to business, so to speak. The script version feels too much like exactly that: a scripted conversation. The theatrical edit drops in on the mid-conversation which, to me, feels more natural and even makes the actors' performances better.

I'm sure Ady could fix the C-3PO errors with the many skills he picked up during ESB:R, if he wanted to.

But, it's his edit, not mine.
