Background
Inspired by the ADigitalMan/Darth Editous Hybrid fan edit, Adywan decided to make his own edit based on the 2004 DVD.
Project Details
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.
Changes from the DVD-5:
- Replaced "fixed shot" where gun was added to the Death Star Control Room to prevent a continuity error and erased a gun from the following shot. Now there are three guns on the rack after our heroes leave the droids behind.
- Remixed Vader's voice even further to match the rest of the trilogy.
DVD-9 Special Features:
- "Revisited" Trivia Subtitle Track
- Isolated Music Score Audio Track
- Deleted Scenes: Jabba the Hutt, Jabba the Hutt 3D, Extended Alderaan Destruction Concept, Luke & Biggs
- Three "Star Wars: Revisited" Trailers
- "The Empire Strikes Back: Revisited" Teaser Trailer
- Multi-angle Special Effects Breakdown Scene
- Two Easter Eggs
- DVD-ROM content: Cover & Label Artwork, Visual Comparison PDF File
