I forgot if this was already answered, but will the Blu-Rays of the Revisited Trilogy have lossless audio tracks? Has a way been found to make it work?
Why is Obi-Wan seeing young Anakin through his binoculars?
This edit is phenomenal, I love how you kept everything from the show that stuck with me after my first watchthrough. Minus a few unremarkable moments, the AotC training scene, and the Tusken sequence, I couldn’t actually tell you what was cut.
The pacing was great, musical transitions were well done, and I’m putting this as my goto version of OWK.
I do miss the training flashback as I do love it and as others have said it explicitly contextualizes Vader’s actions and it is just a good duel. But I understand the reasons you cut it.
Once PixelJoker’s edit is out, do you think you might incorporate any of the VFX adjustments?
I need to see what PixelJoker’s edit does first, but it’s possible. I’m pretty happy with it as-is.
Here are some examples:
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.
The whole “starboard engine” correction is one of my favorite touches, alongside those recolored TIE’s!
Would it really have been so hard for Lucasfilm to have simply flipped the shot so that the port engine was shot instead, like Adywan did?
Why were the shots of Leia swapped around?
Are you still planning to film extra Battle of Endor scenes in California?
I’m really curious, Ady. How did you manage to so seamlessly replace the Han in Carbonite mold with the one you created into the movie itself without using any CGI?
If anyone has created a foreign language dub of ESB:R and would like it to be included on the Blu-Ray version, can you please message me. Thanks
Have you found out a way to make the audio tracks lossless and have them all fit onto the Blu-Ray?
Oh yeh, i promised a clip didn’t i? Well, here you go:
Personally, I think the lighting in the Falcon’s cockpit might be a little TOO blue. Maybe turn it down a bit by 10% or 15%.
I personally like the blue, remember it’s the only source of light here.
I did a comparison of the Revisited clip and the original, and I noticed in the first shot with Han and Leia that the monitor graphics on the top left was originally green, and I think the filter turned it blue. And now that I think about it, maybe the filter Adywan added is fine the way it is aside from that detail. It’s about the same amount of blue as it looked when Rey and Chewbacca were going through the hyperspace tunnel at the end of The Force Awakens.

I’ve replaced the “dummy” Kenobi and Vader in this shot so it no longer seems like they are just standing there in the same position for ages in this scene. (Plus Vader is actually in a paused posture of having just struck down kenobi as this was actually a failed attempt of having the dummy sliced in half, being suspended on wires floating above the ground . You can see the dummy swinging)
Somehow you still manage to impress, Adywan! I especially love that change you made to the Vader vs Kenobi shot although I noticed that the reflection of Vader on the floor is still the original version. This makes Vader move out of sync with his reflection as he lounges forwards towards Obi-wan. Regardless, its nice to see you’re doing better and back at it again with great updates as always.
Good catch.
Then it’s on to the audio mix.
I forgot if you said if the audio will be lossy or lossless.
Very impressive edits so far. We’re just that much closer!
What is probably the best way to watch the entire series, and why? I want to watch it all for the first time, and I can’t seem to decide for myself. Should some of them be “Chronicles” and others “Adventures”? Do any of the intro, connection, and ending scenes added to “Adventures” really matter?
Return of the Jedi Revisited has been halted according to one of he’s recent updates, a New Hope revisited is he’s to be completed and released before he moves back onto Jedi.
There hasn’t been an update in five months. I wonder how he’s doing.
Great News! You no longer need to fix Luke’s “Force Kick”! It’s been retconned!
That should save you 20 minutes.
Luckily those books aren’t even really canon
They are.
There are 2 types of canon.
- the one that Disney tells people
- the one that people choose, because of the mess EU and Disney has created
Whatever. I’m still willing to accept it.
The thing is, Adywan actually LIKES the Sequel Trilogy, and we should at least respect that.

well, guess what… revisited stands in its own canon so yeah… also that book seems to be a cheap excuse to fix plot issues and just random mistakes.
So? Isn’t that what most stories that take place in established timelines do already?

Is there any way you could use Photoshop to fill in the edges that were cropped in the missing frames from the PAL DVD?
Wish I had found out about this community sooner, I’d have donated in a heartbeat. Would’ve loved to have something other than the DVD to watch.
I get the feeling we will all have access to this restoration once it’s finished.
Does anyone know if they have the full 43-minute long making-of documentary from The Nightmare Before Christmas deluxe laserdisc? I can’t find it anywhere online. If anyone can find it, please let me know.
You didn’t show this in the video, but did you restore Roxanne’s dad’s crack?
Any new progress?
After speaking with the director Kevin Lima about the sound mix it was confirmed that Goofy Movie was indeed originally mixed and presented theatrically in select theaters in Dolby 5.1. An anonymous source - who shall remain anonymous - was able to provide me with the discrete 5.1 music and effects only track (used for dubbing other languages) in late January. That 5.1 mix is very clearly NOT an upmix with plenty of discrete activity in all channels. The rear channels are mostly mono but do have some stereo activity. Specifically I noticed stereo separation during the vacation montage sequence when bats come out of a cave and during the roller coaster shot plus when Powerline makes his stage entrance.
Even though I had completed the new mix, armed with this new source I preserved my work and then scrapped my original mix.
The primary issue with using the new source was that the vocals are obviously missing. I went through the original lossless laserdisc track and used the upmixed Center channel which removes all directional activity and then added it back into the 5.1 mix as the new center whenever dialog was occurring. When no dialog was active I was able to default/switch back to the 5.1 music and effects track. There are a few select times that vocals come solely from Left and right (during the musical numbers On the Open Road and After Today) plus there were some scenes with directional left/right pans (secretary in chair offscreen, goofy being bumped offscreen by Pete in department store, scene where Bigfoot chases max and goofy into the side/rear channels.)
I was careful to swap in my previous remix into those specific instances to blend it back and of course I had to Time align the entire master and eq. My discrete overhead and rear surround effects were redone with the stronger separated elements.
The musical numbers did contain the original Center vocals for the Powerline numbers so whenever Powerline sings I didn’t have to change out the center unless someone was speaking over his singing.
It was mixed with 4 overhead channels plus 7.1 base for the final output and rendered in lossless 12 channel and then encoded into DTS X with compatible 7.1 and 5.1 downmixes.
Due to the nature of overlaying a center channel at times, for playback on a stereo 2.0 system with no discrete center the original theatrical 2.0 lossless mix will offers the better experience, but for those with a discrete 5.1 or higher system the new mix rocks.It will be sent to Kevin for notes within the next few weeks.
Does that mean we might finally be able to see the full thing for ourselves soon?
The numbers on the Death Star update meter start at 1138. Nice touch.
