Those all sound awesome! I have a feeling I'll be devoting quite a few hours to Star Wars in September.

I like the change of the text on the tractor beam control in the Death Star. Instead of English, it is now in the Star Wars language and I am very glad of that. That always bothered me having English writing there.
I thought that should have been changed for the Special Editions.
I also like that they finally colored in Vader's saber at the end of the Obi Wan/Vader fight. The updated Jabba looks good too. The new Boba Fett voice is okay, sounds a lil like Jango but still a lil like Boba. I was always in favor of replacing that other Emperror in Empire with Ian McDiarmid and the added dialogue is nice as well.
I think the Hayden at the end of Jedi is still not needed but it won't ruin it for me or anything. The other changes I am really diggin though, great job!

Yeah, it's important to point out that these changes- for me, at least- won't hamper my enjoyment of the movies, it'll just be one of those things nagging me in the back of my mind.

One big thing for me: Not so much adding Naboo at the end celebrations of ROTJ, but having an unnamed Gungan on a rooftop shouting "Weesa Free!".
I'm also quite annoyed at having Hayden's headshot superimposed on Sebastian Shaw's body. Even in the shot, when OB1 looks at him, Hayden's just giving a stupid look at the camera like OB1 and Yoda aren't even there. Why not have Hayden when Luke removes Vader's mask. Or for that matter, don't you think OB1's pissed off looking at Anakin the way he was 30 years ago; wondering why he isn't young again. Or poor Yoda, he's sad for not being redone in CGI! If Lucas feels the need to redo Anakin with Hayden's head, I don't see why he didn't just continue and replace all OB1's shots with Ewan McGregor's head on Alec Guiness' body, or redo Yoda in CGI for all his shots.
I also like the new Jabba, he looks almost photorealistic, and better than the TPM Jabba, even though it's the same character model used.

I don't think the Gungan thing will be a big deal. When they showed the other world's celebrating, it was all very brief and there was music playing. So, I think it'll be allright.
Hayden can't be there for when they reveal Vader's face, since he is too young. I think that Hayden is there in spirit form because that is the how he was before the good man who was Anakin died and Darth Vader was born. The spirits are there for Luke's benefit anyway, after that their energy will recombine with the Force and they'll be gone as individuals.
