(mverta) You removed a shot of Vader because he appears 'pantomimish?'
It's just as the shot cuts from behind Leia ("Only you could be so bold"). Vader comes to a stop, puts his fists on his hips and sticks out one knee, and to me it makes him look, well, less than macho
I'm sure you won't be the only person to find it highly objectionable, and I can totally see your point, but every time I see that scene I wonder why there's no response from Luke.
(MeBeJedi) For what it's worth - and I don't want to come across as knocking your efforts... I would probably find all these changes distracting or jolting.

(mverta) You've removed 3PO's blink under the assumption it was a mistake?
It seems a reasonable assumption, as to the best of my knowledge, he never "blinks" at any other time.
(mverta) You did a Mark Hamill impression and added a line of dialogue?

MBJ, you quoted Mike (mverta), but were you addressing me or him? I wasn't sure...
