 The Special Edition of this film corrects a minor goof. In the original  version, when the Emperor arrives, numerous TIE Fighters are seen flying  around the Death Star. The first group of TIE Fighters that appear on screen  and fly closer and closer to the Death Star simply disappear in an instant  right before the scene changes to the Emperors arrival inside. In the Special  Edition, they continue on their path and do not disappear.
