Well, if this is a discussion about doing a "Best of Both Worlds" version....I could live with:

The digitally darkened skies

The cleanup on the landspeeder shots

ObiWan's new house

Buisier distant shot of Mos Eisley (#9)

The more interesting path of the falcon leaving Mos Eisley (#20)

The new digital matte of half of docking bay 327 (no one notices that? It's really quite a nice touch and fixed a pretty bad perspective problem)

The new detention block hallway

New lightsabers throughout, including the fix of ObiWans saber in the dissapearing shot

All the new sounds during the Falcons' escape from the DS

The Falcon LANDING on Yavin 4, not the approach shots, just that one with the rebel trooper

The new temple


To emphasize, there are some cuts I feel particularly strongly about needing to be made:

Obviously Han shoots first
NO Jabba.
NO extended entry into Mos Eisley. THAT was piss poor work by ILM, no question.
NO rings on the planet and DS explosions.
NO "close the blast doors!". The line is funny, the ORIGINAL reading, which I remember from '78 was funny. This is a crappy read.
NO conversation with Biggs and Red Leader. The Biggs conversation is stilted, but okay. The big problem is that it leads directly into theconversation with Red Leader, and that god awful wipe to eliminate all reference to Anakin. If the entire scene existed somewhere, I'd say use it, but as is, no.
NO "Buy the Toys!" shot of the fighters rising out of the forest
