Not more than short clips. I wouldn't mind checking them out someday, but there is just no need for them because I am ok with the revised versions, other than blinking for Greedo's shot. No versions in existence are perfect, but all versions are awesome.

I have copies of the ANH and ESB versions, and I particularly like what they did with the battle/fight sequences. Some examples:-Reverts to the classic Han shoots Greedo under the table.
-During the escape from Tatooine, the Falcon actually performs some maneuvers while evading the Star Destroyers.
-During the Battle of Yavin, there is a lot more fighter activity in the background.
-Porkins' X-Wing is seen taking a hit to its engine before he goes down.
-When the TIEs finally arrive, there's a lot more of them (huge swarm).
-The command table at Yavin actually projects a hologram of the system in the air above the table.
-Scenes are inserted showing the Death Star about to fire, including having the converging beams on the superlaser igniting just as it explodes.
-In ESB, the ion cannon scene has more activity, with one of the X-Wings getting shot down by the ISD before it gets ionized, then showing the transport and the X-Wing jumping to hyperspace.
-The AT-ATs are accompanied by a lot more AT-STs, and several snowspeeders can be seen being shot down in the battle scenes.
-After Veers' orders "all troops will debark for ground assault," you can see actual hatches open in the sides of the AT-ATs with stormtroopers deploying by drop-line.
Those are just the obvious examples I can think of. Apparently RotJ Revisited is still in the works, but considering how good everything looks in the first two, I'm really looking forward to seeing what he does with the Battle of Endor (needs a lot more Rebel ships to be truly believable).

I downloaded them, and my security software didn’t seem to have any issues. If you’re interested, I can send you a copy.
