while that is great and that drive to improve it just a bit more... There is a danger in that so much as you never feel like your truly finished it...
The work he's done on ESB:R is VERY respectful of the original. VERY.
I'd say that 80-90% of what he's done is small details.....just perfecting an already almost-perfect film. The larger details (ie: models) are staying very true to what was there before it....and generally replacing things that were never quite up to snuff.
While ANH felt a tiny bit different due to some of the additions, subtrations or changes, ESB will still feel very much like the original film. Nothing is being changed in the way of pacing, or scene/shot order.
