Yeah the sound seemed kinda loud to me also.
List of things I didn't like (and I know it all varies from person to person):
1. Didn't like that scenes were cut out of Mos Eisley SE version. I like that he went back to the original road block scene without the big ronto in front of the screen, but I really liked all the other stuff from the SE.
2. Didn't like that the Jabba scene was deleted. As I've posted before, I know why he did it; I just wish someone would actually work on making the scene look right (maybe figure out a way to make Han walk in front of Jabba); and go back to the original (cut) dialogue of the Han vs. Greedo scene.
3. I too did not like that Chewie had a medal, simply because it just miraculously appears.
I saw a clip on youtube that claims to be an adywan clip of "Bail" and "Jar Jar" on Alderaan just before the planet blows up. Is this on any version of adywan's film edit?
By the way, in the book "The Making of Star Wars" they mention that the Ben's hut scene was spliced and split from the original script; so Adywan put back in its correct order - and it flows so greate!!
The final space battle is just awesome!! Adywan deserves a job with Lucasfilm!!
