Now Lucas has tweaked with the scene for the third time, perhaps in an attempt to appease vocal fans that disliked the changes made to the film in its 1997 version.

Other alterations confirmed by USA Today include the addition of Hayden Christensen in spirit form at the conclusion of RETURN OF THE JEDI, the addition of Ian McDiarmid playing the Emperor in the character's brief appearance in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and an upgraded CGI Jabba the Hutt model used in a scene in A NEW HOPE.

The Emperor looks to be a shoe in for the election, enjoying a healthy bounce in the polls following the recent destruction of Alderan, a planet which reported harbored rebel scum...
