It seems as if most of these changes are audio ones, so let's get to it.
- BAD: The old one had the whole "Jaws" thing going where they never showed it very well. Really cool and scary. But now....
- MEH ("Thanks, 3PO"): I actually got so used to this line that it scared me when I was re-watching the OT for the first time in a while that it wasn't there...
- MEH (smoke): Never noticed it...
- GOOD: But they could have at least made it consistent...
- BAD ("You're lucky ...."): I loved the "you didn't taste very good" line!
- GOOD (clearer dialogue): I could never hear it before!
- BAD: Unnecessary CGI, but I don't mind it too much.
- BOTH: Good because Cloud City needed it, bad because it REALLY overused some CGI...
- BAD: City didn't really need to be opened up IMHO.
- BAD: WTF? I cant even hear her (Leia) now...
- BAD (during announcement): Just pointless.
- GOOD AND HORRIBLE: Good in that he looks solid now, bad because of the F'N SCREAM! (fixed in the 04 DVD)
- NEUTRAL: What's the big deal over "Alert my star destroyer..."?
- BAD: George, we don't need to see everything in the world that happens, especially when it interrupts the flow of the movie.
- GOOD (see ANH): Funny that he wasn't given credit theatrically but was on video...hehe...That wraps up Empire. I'll have Jedi up later.
