IGN has just reviewed the set. I was skeptical about some of the changes (still am about Hayden replacing Sebastian Shaw at the end of ROJ), but now I am almost certain that the movies look a whole lot better. I think I might just go pick this one up since my tapes are wearing out and I yearn watching this movie on a widescreen transfer.<br /><br />Here's the changes:<br /><ul type="square"><br /><b>Episode IV: A New Hope</b><li>Lots of matte lines removed. The space under Luke's speeder looks much more realistic.<li>R2D2's blue parts are much cleaner and more consistent.<li>The 1997 animation added to the entrance to Mos Eisley is much smoother.<li>Greedo and Han shoot at the same time, and Han's dodge is far more realistic.<li>Jabba has been retexturized and looks considerably better. Han still walks on his tail, but it's much smoother.<li>The lettering on various Death Star panels are written in Aurebesh rather than English. <li>The matte-painted hall in Leia's detention block looks much more realistic.<li>Lightsabers look much better. Colors are far brighter and the blades are more defined.<br /></li></li></li></li></li></li></li></li></ul><br /><ul type="square"><br /><b>Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back</b><li>The battle of Hoth is enhanced with a ground battle between the Rebel soldiers and stormtroopers <li>Ian McDiarmid has refilmed scenes as the Emperor instead of that near-fossil they had.<li>The conversations between Vader and Palpatine has a few new lines. Palpatine knows that Luke is Vader's son.<li>Light sabers are again fixed, making them more consistent.<li>Temuera Morrison does the voice of Boba Fett <li>Luke's inane scream when he jumps to escape Vader on Cloud City is gone. And there was much rejoicing.<br /></li></li></li></li></li></li></ul><br /><ul type="square"><br /><b>Episode VI: Return of the Jedi</b><li>Like the other two, the light sabers are fixed.<li>The Rancor looks considerably better, with its matte lines removed.<li>When</li></li></li></ul> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
