The one scene that I think could be harmlessly updated and actually improve the overall sequence is the final assualt on the 2 base ships by the Pegasus. My suggestion for an improvement would be to actually insert footage of the missiles, on a trajectory toward the base ships, and to also clean up the laser shots.
Another would be the shield effect, projected from the Galactica, during the missile launches by the Terrans and the Eastern Alliance. That "blue thing" has always looked a little hokey to me.

all good points .. I to never liked the replacement of Shaw in RTOJ ,, Hayden Christensen was unaware of the change... while I like some symbolic aspects of the addition .... if I had some input for the effect ( Lucas no doubt thought it was a good idea ) I would have had the younger Skywalker (Christensen) slowly morph or change back to older Skywalker (Shaw) keeping both. in away allowing Luke see both the young man and the older.
but some of you own observations tally with mine ... the character scenes should be untouched apart from a clean up or modernization for the digital technology...
the only areas I am talking about is the space ships and other effects.
the viper scene that always fustrated me was where Apollo flies around the Cylon Tanker . you can plainly see the transparent support. I saw that the first time I saw the film ...
I don´t mean to or want to pull the film apart but if its something that I am annoyed by . I sure there are other fans too, that just try to ignore it and carry on watching regardless. when there is the means (relatively cheaply now with CGI) to address these errors
and I like stories with good characters and the effects secondary. but the effect have to live up to the story .. and they are not !!. modern viewers focus more on effect and while the films are hits .. they are sooner or later forgotten.
