From the article:

CONFIRMED:

Opening Crawl Redone To Match Color/Quality of PT Opening Crawl
Lightsaber effects fixed (Colors more vibrant and appear in ALL shots)
Binary sunset shot now has clouds to match later POV shot
Greedo still shoots first, however HAN’s reaction firing is much more realistic
R2’s panels will be blue in all of the space shots, instead of just a few of them
The Dianoga now appears more lifelike and not so Stop-Motion like
The matte painted hall in the detention block has been fixed
Lettering on Death Star panels written in Aurebsh
Jabba fixed

RUMORED:

Ian McDiarmid mentioning in an interview during the production of "Episode II" that he's recorded scenes of the Emperor addressing the Senate for "Episode IV".
John Williams mentioning in several published interviews that he's "re-recorded sections of the score for Episode IV to include THE IMPERIAL MARCH". News appearing in Corona Upcoming Attractions in 1997 listing that an ILM animator was contracted to do "work on Obi-Wan's death involving state of the art CGI" which was obviously not included in the 1997 Special Editions...
Door closings/openings frame jumps smoothed out
Aliens and other creatures blink now to make them look non-mask like
Supper dupper fight sequence between Vader and Obi-Wan
Stormtroopers voices are redubbed by Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett)
SOME new shots will be added
Battle of Yavin shots recomped

DENIED RUMORS:

No Bail Organa seen before Alderaan blows up

I'm annoyed at the thought of them re-recording the stormtrooper's voices.  Also, I hope they didn't remove the classic 'Trooper hits head on door' scene.

What the fuck are they doing, patching a game? :x


AAAAHHHHH!!!! WHITEBOY SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!

Though I'm curious about the more realistic dianoga for some weird reason. But including a scene of the Emperor addressing the Senate (likely to cover us not seeing him dissolve it) annoys the hell out of me. The prequels took place in the Core Systems, the OT took place on the Outer Rim, giving it a more Wild West feeling. Now they're gutting that too. Damn Lucas!!!!

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! WHITEBOY SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, let's hope they didn't re-do the awesome line:

"Look sir...droids!"

The VO I don't mind as it actually unifies the "Storm Troopers" are all clones part, and as such I think it'd be pretty cool. It'll take some getting used to, but minor tweaks like that I think would work. BUT TAKE OUT THE GREEDO SHOOTS FIRST PART YOU STUPID, STUPID FOOL!!!!!!

lol Seriously, or my personal favorite, "Close the blast doors.......open the blast doors, open the blast doors!"

I really like this website, thats a great find there man! Good stuff.
I especially like that Shaw's eyes have been made to match Hayden's. And the fact that he now appears at the end sequence as a ghost instead of Shaw.
