It's not just the accent, though...it's the pitch, speak patterns, etc.

ROTJ:
In the Luke-Vader duel on the DS, at the end when Luke begins to get aggressive and Vader falls and grabs the railing, and Luke starts hitting down on Vader's lighsaber, I think he should only hit down once or max. twice and then to the left and cut Vader's arm of. Normally he hits like 5 or 6 times, and although I do understand that it is the anger and aggression coming from him, it still looks a bit redundant, especially for a jedi. I tried it in VDub, and it looks good, without the music of course.

I love that part. It really conveys his blind rage, he's not even bothering to cut off the hand for a while, he's just stuck in this feedback loop of pure aggression and primal violence that is making him feel great.

I guess there are two shots in Empire that have always looked a bit 'off' to me.

firstly when Luke is initially attacked by the Wampa whilst on his taun-taun, and we briefly see it's face as it lunges into camera, something about the way the shot is framed ruins it's whole sense of scale and it ends up looking like a muppet sized hand-puppet and just appears badly inserted into the scene, not to mention it looks nothing like the special edition Wampa footage from the cave (which I don't mind the new footage). I don't know how talented anyone is with creature animation, but even if the original shot could be reframed to make him appear much larger and ominous and perhaps give his face and eyes a bit of articulation to make him look less puppet like.

secondly there's a brief shot during the Hoth Battle, I believe it's when Wedge (?) is flying around an AT-AT's legs with his tow-rope, there's one quick shot where the screen is framed by an AT-AT's Legs and a snowspeeder makes a pass across the screen behind the legs of the Walker and apart from a few wispy clouds it looks like they left the Bluescreen in the background and didn't matte in the proper sky background (ie. the sky is a very bright (bluescreen) blue) again it's a very brief split second shot that probably a little colour/saturation tweaking would fix and make it match the colour of the sky in the rest of the scene.

I doubt the Emperor had a very high opinion of Neimodians based on the prequals, they may be sycophantic and easily manipulated, but I doubt he would trust in them in an advisory capacity, they come across as pretty bumbling and stupid n the prequals. In ROTJ we barely glimpse his advisors but they do appear to be twisted and dark in a similar way to the Emperor, which lends them a greater sense of mystery to the buerocratic Neimodians. I always assumed they were dark Jedi of some sort, although the Prequals rule of 2 blows that theory out of the water.

but if you look at Revenge of The Sith it's clear that Obi-Wan makes much more of an effort to bring 'back' Anakin to the light, than Padme does, she barely even has a chance before Vader chokes her , and her trip to Mustafar she seemed to be on a mission to warn Anakin and was more in 'denial' than anything else.

your suggestion kind of works if you're viewing all 6 movies in order, but doesn't make much sense if you're viewing the original trilogy as a whole. and I'm not much in favour of changing the originals to fit in with the prequals, it's a dangerous area to tread.

The worst scene in the entire saga (yes, worse than jarjar) has to be that awful reunion scene on the rebel fleet in ROTJ. Please, shorten/cut that one. You know, the moment Luke shows up and decides to join Han and Leia... everyone starts smiling and hugging and laughing... *shivers* it's just like watching a bloody soap opera. It always felt out of place and very un-Star Wars to me.
I never got why they were so emotional anyway: they saw each other on Tatooine right? Luke went to visit Yoda after that, but as Yoda died not much after Luke arrived, it seems hard to believe Luke would stay there a few extra weeks before joining up with his friends again.

Yeah well, it's just something that always bothered me, I don't expect everyone to agree.

I was thinking the same thing. Boba Fett is supposed to be the most dangerous bounty hunter in the galaxy, but when we see him in ROTJ... he's more like jarjar in a suit: incredibly clumsy. So as you said: something should be done to make his character more believable or he should just be cut from the film.

He said muppet, not puppet.

So after you have seen the ANH edit from ADY does anyone have some changes that pop into their heads. My number one thing is The lightsabers. I thought ADY did such a great job with the lightsabers and I hope he can do the same to ESB and ROTJ.

I also wish for a "Cantinaized" version of Yoda. If you have seen Ady's edit you know what I mean.

I think that with Adywan as the director and WXM, Mojo_LA and AugieBenDoggie helping on the CGI and 3D stuff, future Revisited edits could be a real candy, and done much faster, especially now that we know that Mojo_LA has an incredibly fast render farm at his disposal.

I think the Ewoks screen time should be trimmed in the ROTJ. They slow down the action in a very tense situation, and in some cases look very JarJarish

I really don't have any complaints about the sabers in ROTJ (original or 1997). For ESB, I suppose fixing up Vader's saber so it isn't pink so often would be a plus.


But then the 2004 DVD editions screw up the sabers BIG time, in both movies. Vader's saber is pink and orange. Luke's saber looks like it has a solid core sometimes (or it turns from white to yellow and back). The saber clash in front of the Emperor looks like crap now.


The bad colors and overly dark picture of the 2004 DVDs need fixing, for sure.

Other things to fix for ROTJ 2004:

Green matte boxes around ships throughout the space battle.

Fix the cardboard troopers in the "Emperor's arrival" if possible. Or at least make them look less like a matte painting.

Restore Han's line "It's allright... trust me" in barge fight

Either clean up the Sarlacc beak so it looks more natural, or remove it.

Remove the "Emperor's slugs"

Han Solo's reflection briefly in some blast glass right before the bunker blows.

Fix the part where Luke is kicking that guy on the sail barge and misses him by a mile yet the guy flies back anyway.

Nix "Jedi Rocks" in favor of Lapti-Nek.

Nix the flute montage in favor of "Yub Nub" or perhaps a subtle blending of the two (the ruckus Ewok celebration transitions into the "saga ending" of the worlds being freed and so forth, culminating in the return to the bonfire celebration).

Restore Shaw's eyebrows to the unmasking scene. If prequel continuity is a big issue, people might object to this. But even so, something needs to be done about that really fake looking bald cap wig and the fact that his face now looks far too gray in the 2004 edition (doesn't match ESB at all or the original version).

Restore Sebastian Shaw to the Jedi Spirits scene.

Remove the ring from the Death Star explosion.

Definately delete "wesa fwee!" from the ending.


ESB fixes:

Fix the continuity error created by the "new windows" (now you see them, now you don't) on Bespin between the time Lando is showing them the tour and they get detained by Vader's men.

Restore Fett's old voice.

Correct the asteroid that has an explosion in it right before the Falcon and TIE's reach it (for no apparent reason). If it's going to be a collision it shouldn't flame up like it's a laser hit or something.

Fix the problem where Luke's saber is still on as he leaves the cave (yet you hear a saber off sound).

Restore Luke's line "You're lucky you don't taste very good" in the swamp

Fix any instances of "black R2D2 panels" in space.

Fix the transparent cockpits in the snowspeeders (for good this time)

Remove the obvious "puppet stilts" in a few shots of the AT-AT's.

Fix the saber colors, making them more consistent with the other movies.

Is it feasible to keep Shaw, but "youthify" him a little like the opening of Xmen 3 (Darken his hair, smooth his jowls a little?).
Choosing either end song will always be a big annoying controversy, I suggest a "neutral" choice. There are many familiar Star Wars themes that would work well for the end, Leia's theme, Luke/Leia's theme, the extended throne room, something everybody already knows and likes?
About Boba Fett's death, maybe its possible to "steal" the later shot of Han throwing the bag at the officer in the bunker, (the guy whos says "freeze") and alter it to be Han deliberately swinging the pole at Boba Fett. In other words we need three shots to kill Fett on purpose:
1. Han's blurry POV of Fett preparing to fire at Luke (that shot is there, it just needs to be made blurry to imply it's Han's POV)
2.Han "attacks" using the aforementioned shot, it would need to be flipped, Han's vest erased, and the background changed to desert. The bag needs to be altered to be the pole that Han jabs with (it sounds impractical but that recut of Superman 2 on youtube has similar stuff)
3.Fett's backpack is struck, but with Han cropped out so you can't see he was facing the other way.
Maybe the subsequent shots of Fett flying through the air, his legs could be on fire from the burning jet fuel. He hits the barge raining flames.

Concerning Fett's voice, I agree I prefer the original voice and it could be explained that he has a scrambler in his helmet, a useful tool for a bounty hunter.

I can't recall if we actually hear Jango Fett speak whilst wearing his helmet in the PT? If he doesn't then continuity won't be an issue. If he does and somebody is tackling a PT edit, perhaps his voice could be 'scrambled' whilst wearing the helmet in the PT....
