One reason I ask about what the audio quality on the Blu-Ray will be like is because I noticed when watching it again that the clarity of the Star Wars theme didn’t match the higher clarity of the 20th Century Fox fanfare right before. I’m not sure if it’s because of the Blu-Ray source, the audio compression, or if that’s just how it has always sounded.

Pixeljoker is using the voice actor Ryan Golden to voice the Vader lines.

Will most of them be replacing the original lines, or are they just for the new footage?

PixelJoker, are you still going to go for that take in the first trailer of Vader saying “That name means nothing… Master”? Because I can tell that the part where he says “that name” is ripped straight from Return of the Jedi. Why not create a new take?

It’s not supposed to be pristine like it was back when Lando had it.

There’s one little background change that was made to TESB when it hit 4K that the Revisited version doesn’t have. On the 2011 Blu-Ray, in the three close-up shots where Luke’s X-Wing is sinking in the water, there’s a black section that’s cast over the top right corner. The 4K version fixed that by replacing the black section with more haze. You can see the differences here: https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=137645

Is this change even worth applying to TESB:R when you get to working on the Blu-Ray?

To be clear, that’s not so much a “fix” as “the 4K version didn’t ruin the scan of the film in that particular way”.

So, it’s not really worth it?

I’m just saying it’s not a “fix”, it’s a choice of what scan he wants to use.

That’s fine. One interesting thing I noticed is that there are at least two things in Empire: Revisited that Adywan changed that Lucasfilm THEMSELVES would change two years later for the 4K version, and I don’t think they even knew about Revisited. Like Revisited, a new explosion effect was made for the Hoth power generator, and there was the removal of part of a window reflection that accidentally went over the side of the window in front of Leia, right after Luke left Dagobah.

Whether the Disney+ rumor is true or not, if this guy is right about the Deems Taylor audio and it was actually found… then, is there any way we may be able to get our hands on it?

Oh, absolutely. I can bet on it. When the 4K/HDR transfers for “The Black Cauldron” and “The Sword in the Stone” went live, it didn’t take very long for 1:1 rips to show up and make their rounds. If Fantasia’s 4K doesn’t see a physical release before it drops on Disney+ (unlikely, I think, but there’s a first time for everything), then you can expect rips to show up soon after.

A little off topic, but The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper also have 4K/HDR transfers on Disney+, and I can’t find any 1:1 rips of them online. I wish I could.

This is also a tiny thing, but in that 2023 comparison reel on YouTube, it seems like you used the 2011 Blu-Ray for the shot of the tractor beam’s power meter. The Aurebesh writing was positioned a little differently for the 2020 Blu-Ray, though, and it’s a little more spread out. Why not use that version?

Well i’m using the 2011 Blu-rays for the most part anyway. But the 2020 recreation is worse than the 2011. The text on the clear display that they added doesn’t even match the white levels of the original parts, whereas the 2011 matched perfectly. and the rest of the text on the 2020 version is blurry as hell

That makes sense. Thanks for answering. But there are still some other questions I asked you in the last two pages of this forum and in the ROTJ:R forum, and it would be nice to know from the creator himself about his take on the topics that we were all talking about in the last month in both forums, like how Jar Jar Bricks used AI to make James Earl Jones say “Your mother once thought as you do.”

Oh, and I have a few other things of note. I noticed when playing the Dolby Atmos tracks on my 4K Blu-Rays of the OT and PT that the 20th Century Fox fanfare plays only on the speakers in the soundbar in front of my TV, and when the Star Wars theme starts, the sound starts also playing in the back speakers behind me. I really like that effect. Do you think you could try to mix the audio on the Revisited versions so they do something like that, even if they won’t be in Dolby Atmos?

And if you’re going to use the 2011 Blu-Ray for the most part, then please don’t forget to fix this error that wasn’t fixed in ANH:R SD, but was fixed in the 2020 Blu-Ray, okay? Mark Hamill can be seen standing in the small room on the right side of the shot, when Luke is supposed to have already left.

Finally, you’re not going to change the alarm sound at the opening of A New Hope like you did last time, are you? Because there’s any need to anymore, since we hear the original sound at the very end of Rogue One.

Adywan, are you still going to use the News Gothic Bold font used for the titles for The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker for “Return of the Jedi”? Because it seems that Rian Johnson chose the Univers font for The Last Jedi for the same reason it might have been chosen for Return of the Jedi. To make the capital J in “Jedi” more pronounced.

I hope you don’t mind this one other request. I know these are once again examples of “Early Installment Weirdness,” since they couldn’t decide what terms to use yet, but since you were able to make Luke say “Steady, Rogue 3” instead of “Rogue 2” in TESB:R, do you think you could also make it so that Luke doesn’t call the R5 Astromech droid that blew up an “R2 Unit,” or use the term “robots” later on?

I was reading the “Early Installment Weirdness” section on TV Tropes in regards to Star Wars, and it mentioned this one part:

The opening crawl of ANH says that the Rebels have “scored their first victory over the Empire”. Both Legends and the new canon would go on to depict a lot more than one victory occurring prior to A New Hope. Furthermore, calling the Battle of Scarif a victory on the Rebel’s part is a pretty big stretch, since, other than recovering the Death Star plans, they pretty much got their butts kicked, and most of the Rebels present died.

Since I know Rogue One is canon in your edit, with the Death Star still being over Scarif in the first act, and you having the old Death Star graphics shown in Rogue One going through a software update into the Attack of the Clones graphics, is it even worth changing that part of the crawl?

That’s all very much true. But even in the mainline films it lines up better. Luke tells Vader to come away with him. The last time we heard somebody say that was Padme herself on Mustafar, telling him it’s not too late to run away with her so they can raise their child. But his greed for power and jealousy of Obi-Wan stops him from considering that.

It’s really a shame in hindsight that Padmé’s character wasn’t created yet when the OT was being made.

Adywan, or anybody making an edit of ROTJ, is free to use these:

If for whatever reason these two particular takes of the line aren’t up to snuff I’ll add more.

There is a canon comic that further justifies that Vader should say “your mother” instead of “Obi-Wan.”

It’s from Darth Vader #5 from 2020, and it’s part of a storyline that takes place between TESB and ROTJ. Right after communicating to Luke from the Executor at the end of TESB, he goes on a vengeful mission against those who tried to hide Luke from him. And as he uncovers secrets from Luke’s past, Vader encounters secrets from his own past. He ends up at an abandoned Polis Massa, the location of where Padmé gave birth to Luke and Leia, and died soon after. There, he finds a damaged midwifery droid, and with help from a droid he travelled with, ZED-6-7, accesses her memories and finds a holo recording of Padmé’s final words saying there was still good in Anakin. This spark would start to ignite the light within him. This is the moment when Vader begins to realize more and more, that it was Palpatine’s fault for him losing everything, and making Anakin think everyone was against him. The moment when Vader began to die and Anakin began to resurface. Palpatine sensed that in him when he came back to meet up with him, sensing some grief, which is a light side trait. It’s there that he tortured Vader with Force lightning, and even a choking, to try and bring him back to the dark side. It also explains why he’s not as angry in ROTJ, and why he said “I MUST obey my master.”

🤦I’ve seen some odd requests before but that’s awesome and gave me a really good lol.

Yeah, I think I was just spitballing. This isn’t like fixing the spelling of Denis Lawson’s name, because both “unauthorized” and “unauthorised” are technically correct.

Have you ever thought of starting a Revisited Trilogy Discord server?

So that he has to deal with a rapid-paced chat instead of slower message threads? Do you want him to finish the project ever??

Good point.

This may come off as nitpicky, but I just noticed for the first time in the end credits of Empire Strikes Back Revisited that at the very end, you spelled “unauthorized” as “unauthorised.” I know it’s because you’re British, and I know it’s a very tiny thing, but that’s not how it was spelled in the original credits, so could you please change the “s” to a “z” for the Blu-Ray?

But from what I can tell Obi-Wan learns Vader still lives in the cantina instead of Reva telling him.

That comes from the epilogue to Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader. It’s one change I don’t mind, actually.

Jar Jar Bricks said:

The show can absolutely work as a feature film edit. The thing is that PixelJoker is making huge changes to the story itself. So it will depend on whether you prefer those changes to the story or not to determine if another edit is warranted.

What kinds of huge story changes?

Personally, I’d prefer it if it was just an uncut series edit where the only changes are the appearances of the Inquisitors to how they look in Rebels and having Anakin and Obi-Wan’s faces de-aged in the flashback scenes to how they looked in AOTC, and keep it all in 4K HDR with Atmos sound. I’m probably not gonna get it, though.

Once all the material is available this would be extremely simple to put together in a free NLE. You could leave the audio as is and just replace the clips you want with the new stuff.

Thanks. But you know what? After I had some time to think about it, maybe it COULD work as a feature film edit, because that’s what the Disney+ series was originally written to be. I know you made one just like that.
