The music changes to SE: TESB are bad and I don't like the change(s) to the Wampa scene either.  Also, the color timing is HORRIBLE on the 2004 SE for Empire (Vader's lightsaber is PINK in the SE for God's sake ugh).

Also, Vader expresses an effeminate "Oooh" when Luke topples him over during the duel instead of the "Argh".  Instead of "Bring my ship", he now says "Prepare my starship for my arrival".  

Here are the "Han Shot Second"/Dewback level atrocities: 

- No more chimp/Clive Revill Emperor: His performance and the original image was spectacular and had such a mysterious, cryptic impact...Ian McDiarmid gives a very cheesy, uninspired, hackneyed performance in the re-do and, as has been previously mentioned, the revised dialogue Prequalizes affairs and simply doesn't make much sense.

ALSO...(why has this not been mentioned?!?)

Boba Fett's voice is changed to be that of Temuara Morrison's (Jango's).  It's lame and the original voice actor was far FAR superior.  

So, okay, maybe ESB is the lesser of three evils when it comes to the Special Editions, but it's still a travesty.  

Stay with the original.
