Inspired by the ADigitalMan/Darth Editous Hybrid fan edit, Adywan decided to make his own edit based on the 2004 DVD.
Although his version does feature edits to the flow of certain scenes, the most notable aspect of this project is the time spent on special effects. Effects shots have been enhanced, recomposited and in some cases rendered from scratch, in an attempt to produce a closer match to the prequel trilogy.
The development of the project since its commencement in July 2006 can be followed in the project thread on the originaltrilogy.com forums.
Changes from the Xvid version:
- Removed the ILM crew member from the droid sale
- Removed the wire and batteries seen up Luke's sleeve in Ben's hut
- Removed the remaining wires from Ben's sleeve during the sabre fight
- Ponda Baba's arm swapped for Dr. Evazan' s arm & hand
- Slight tweak to the TIE approach. The background & camera is no longer static at the beginning & a new Death Star surface
- Fixed the gunport shot during the TIE battle where the gun remains static when Han swings the chair and the gun can clearly be seen over the top of the chair instead of behind it
- Typos in the credits fixed
DVD-5 Special Features:
- "Revisited" Trivia Subtitle Track
- Deleted Scenes: Jabba the Hutt, Jabba the Hutt 3D
- 3 "Star Wars: Revisited" Trailers
- "The Empire Strikes Back: Revisited" Teaser Trailer
