Any update on this?
I would also appreciate a link to this, please.
No.
The changes really adds nothing to it, and like the later vader “NOOOOO” in ROTJ ultra super special edition, the removal of the "bring my shuttle line,” cheats the audience of the emotional impact of a scene, and in film those around Vader have an idea of the mood he is in after his duel with Luke. With the new line he almost sounds bored, and ordering a burger from a drive thru.
The line is abrupt, direct and to the point: it tells those around him that he wants his shuttle there NOW, and he’s in no mood for any delays.
“Alert my star destroyer” and everything that follows just adds bloat to the film. Vader has no need to report in, nor does anyone aboard have need to know his comings and goings; Vader will arrive when he sees fit, and the ship will leave when he says so. If you have a problem with that, you should ask Admiral Ozzel how doing things your ways on Vader’s ship goes for you.
Everyone else has of course mentioned the atrocity that is the Luke yell.
