Why in the hell are they removing sound effect?! The sound was one of the things that made the films so original. Ben Burtt said in an interview that they wouldn't throw out the sound for the Special Editions and look what happens...

On a similar note, one of my favorite sounds in the OT was actually Vader's "Arrrgh!!" when he is knocked off the edge of the Carbon Freezing Chamber. As you may or may not know, this was changed in the Special Edition (possibly a product of alternate audio tracks). So instead of that awesome snarl, we get the same lame sound Vader makes when Luke sends a plume of Tibanna gas (or whatever lol) at him. Anyone else agree this was a bad change?
