Duh. The sky is blue. Theres water in the specific ocean. DVDs are better then VHS in every possible way. Also I don't understand the winning about Lukes scream. I don't consider it a good change but it is easily ignored. Its the instinct of people to scream when they fall. Its no big deal. I personally don't dislike any of the changes in The Empire Strikes Back. The only changes I dislike are Greedo shooting first and Haydens head.
The main complaint about the scream (on my end at least) is that it seems so unnatural. A lot of the changes in the SE seem quite forced. Sure, the scream is ignorable...but did it ever have to be added? The wampa...eh, I can live with it.
Probably the best opinion on the whole SE thing is that South Park episode when Trey Parker and Matt Stone re-do the 1st episode of the show with the technology they use today instead of the cardboard. They even add some of the same stuff Lucas did. My Point being: I just feel like there's this forced change on ESB and ROTJ (even ANH in places). They had the technology down pretty well by ESB and ROTJ's effects are good by today's over the top CGI...so why bother aside from remastering the negatives and soundtrack? Well whatever, that's been the debate all this time hasn't it?
Oh and I wouldn't pass judgment on the Hayden thing just yet. There are many conflicting reports on that one, just FYI
