Perhaps the changes are enhancements to the special effects.
Remember the special editions? The added hoth ice creature, changing it up so greedo shoots first, add the yell to the fall, some bad looking CG, the Dance Scene at Jabba's Palace, the Sarlaac suddenly getting a beak, I could go on and on. I will admit that i like how they fixed up cloud city.
They are not
huge changes to the plot or storyline of the movie they do affect the movie, and not ina good way. The fact that he is planning to do even more scares me. If it was just touching up lightsabre effects, lasers, erasing some shadowing with special effects (the snowspeeder cockpit on hoth you can see through parts of it), cleaning up and adding to sound, making the death star explosion look nicer etc i would be a uber happy camper.
But he is not, for example i will use the Greedo shooting first thing. While not a huge plot altering thing it does change the character of Han Solo. Instead of a mercenary scoundrel who shoots first he is a good man protecting himself, which is great but the cool thing about Solo is he goes from being a complete scoundrel to a hero.
Or how about Luke screaming when he falls in cloud city, instead of a beaten man falling to his death and accepting whatever is gonna happen you have Skywalker screaming like a 14 yr old as he plunges to the bowels of cloud city. While the screaming is more "realistic" i dont expect realism in a movie about some force wielding mystics fighting a galactic rebellion in a galaxy far far away. Plus it makes the main hero look like a little bytch.
Im not even gonna get started on the whole musical number at Jabba's palace, sure i liked the mos eisley cantina band but c'mon.
But im rambling again. All i can say is that for once change is bad, It would be like Orson Welles coming back from the dead and saying imma redo Citizen Kane but i think it would be better in colour, also i would like to add some CG. Also maybe have Kane come back from the dead and settle with childhood happiness instead of power and wealth.
