Including things like original characters being edited out and replaced by the ones from the newer movies, including voices, chubakka (however you spell it) and other stuff.

yea some of the changes are annoying (the boba fett redubbing was very unnecessary), but really there isnt much more than was added/changed from the special editions.

one thing is for sure, it looks and sounds better than ever! they've obviously enhanced the soundtrack and the visuals.

It's nice to have some scenes extended but why edit in newer characters into and older movie. To me thats kinda disrespectful.
