Assumming GL had the OT all written and decided to do the PT first what do you think he would have gone and changed before filming the OT?
Would more references or visuals to planets and races have been seen that are new to us now?
Would the rematch in ANH between Vader and OBI have played out differently with more dialog?
How about small things like R2 and his little rockets be worked into some scenes?
I would think the duels we've seen would be much more grand for one thing and maybe more of the wookies.
The fact that old GL is changing the OT himself would suggest he'd do a few things differently but given the chance to go back in time would he change much more?

It's simple, if the PT came first there would be no OT.

"Only a Master of evil, Darth."
would be changed to
"Only a Master of evil, Vader."
Because now that we now that Darth is the title a Sith Lord recieves, it doesn't make sense for Obi-Wan to use it as a specific name. I'm guessing Darth was originally Vader's first name? And Vader was his last name?

I suppose theoretically Obi-Wan could be sarcastically referring to Vader by his honourary title, kind of like saying "Only a master of evil, Lord" or the like. But I'm pretty sure that Darth was indeed Vader's first name originally in Lucas' mind.

I've actually given some thought to this. If the PT was filmed first, we all know that he would have to subsequently do the OT because otherwise the PT would stink because it ended with the fall of the Jedi and the birth of Vader, not a great ending for a story. Because the OT came out first we can happily watch the PT because we know that years later Vader would redeem himself and the Empire would be destroyed.

i think there would be changes but only some changes,like the duels would play out only a little differently and there would be more F.X. but not so much that it would make things look different.other than that i would say he would shoot them in HI-DEF but thats it.

Vader would have more than 15 minutes of screen time in A New Hope.

From an asthetic level it wouldn't work. Even James Cameron said it himself, "SW showed us the universe was old and dirty." Most filmakers up until GL had made the OT a prestine/clean universe. The PT was the same way. What worked in many ways is that GL made the OT more realistic looking by making it old and decaying which is what was happening in a symbolic way. The universe was dying under the oppression of the Empire.

Not at all. OBW knew all along that his name was now Darth Vader. He uses it sarcastically to signify that by going down the path of the darkside, Anakin could never become the master. He would always be blinded by his narrow-mindedness. IMHO, it's a wonderful line!
I think many things would be different though, but I'm too tired to write about it now

I don't he could change too much even with the visuals (in keeping with the galaxy turning to crap under Empire Rule).
But regardless, i think we could expect even more amazing visuals (as if they weren't great already), digital characters instead of muppets and more elaborate saber duels.

Vader's dialogue from his rematch with Obi-wan would've sounded like this:
I've been waiting for you, Obi-wan. We meet again at last. You nearly had me killed the last time we've fought, only I was but a learner back then but now I am the Master!

Interesting. If in fact the OT had been filmed later, then more things would be CG'd to give more of an effect. Also, some of the events in the PT could be hidden in the dialogue.

Artoo would have probably used his rocket boosters to escape Jabba's sail barge instead of...you know, just falling into the sand.

I could not disagree more. I think It would have even been bigger then it was.
