They really cleaned up that one. But the sound is another issue. It appears that when they remixed it, they subdued the music and raised up the FX. As the X-wings dove down to the Death Star, you could barely hear the trumpet fanfare over the engines.The new special scenes are OK, but one problem with these scenes is that they make the unspecial scenes really stand out. In the dogfight as they escape the Death Star, the matte lines are very noticable, partially because you don't see them in any of the CGI scenes.The Greedo shooting first scene is cleaned up a bit, as they fire almost simultaneously. But the lack of a reaction by Han Solo still makes it look bad.Oh, and remember the Stormtrooper that hits his head? There is a sound effect to go with that now.The only new scene in Empire that stood out was as Vader returns to his ship at the end, it appeared that they redid the landing bay.In Jedi, the Rancor scene looks so much better and they added a Naboo scene at the end, but I can't help but notice how "muppety" most of the aliens look in this movie. It's a pity they didn't use CGI to fix them. Well, we can save that for the next extra special, super duper, bonus mega DVD edition.</blockquote>
