An eBay user received his copy of the Star Wars DVD trilogy early. His eBay auction lists a few scenes that have been changed from the original trilogy.

The Group29 Review of the original Star Wars movie mentions the original videocassette release of the trilogy. These will be VERY hot collectors items in the future I predict. * WARNING SPOILERS * in the article.

Q: Are there any changes to the other movies, or is it just Jedi? What about the Emperor's hologram in ESB?
A: Episode IV
  • LightSabers re-rendered for Vader versus Kenobi DeathStar duel.
  • TractorBeam control now in Aurebesh.
  • Han Solo versus Greedo scene slightly changed.
  • Boba Fett still mugs camera.
  • Jabba the Hutt re-rendered from Special Edition Jabba.
  • Han Solo still steps on Hutt tail. The line "You're a wonderful human being" - remains. (The scene is an improvement over the SE - however not great.)

Episode V
  • The Emperor replaced with Ian McDiarmid. Dialogue in this scene has been slightly modified, indicating either that The Emperor knows it was Luke Skywalker who destroyed the Death Star, or that he is Vader's son.

Episode VI
  • Hayden Christensen has replaced Sebastian Shaw only in the final Force Ghost ending scene. (Hayden replaces Sebastian in the final ghosts shot, but not the unveiling scene.)
  • Line about Leia remembering her mother while talking to Luke on the Ewok Village veranda has either been omitted, or modified.
  • Naboo has been added to the final planetary celebration montage at the end of the movie. Gungans show up in the final celebration montage, as does Coruscant w/ a crowd tossing a Stormtrooper around like a crowd surfer.
