The reanimation of Bespin's background was great.
The addition of all the distracting bullshite in Mos Eisley was terrible.
CGI Jabba was terrible.
Singing bitch in Jabba's palace was terrible.

Basically anything on Tattooine was god awful and everything else was alright.

I was 8 when they released, and all I gave a shite about at the time was that I was finally going to get to see the movies in a theater.

Some of it is downright brutal now though. It's amazing how much worse those early CGI graphics have held up compared to the original models and stuff.

The Sarlac never gets enough love as a strong contender for worst looking addition in the special editions IMO. It looks terrible, and the original pit was miles and miles better.

Jabba addition was terrible because all of the dialogue had been moved into the Greedo scene since they couldn't use Jabba, so it is not only visually unappealing, but it jacks up the flow of the movie by adding what basically amounts to the same exact conversation that's already taken place.
