The Mos Eisley entrance in Revisited is far better than the SE version, but there are still quite a few goofy looking cg droids and creatures in the background. It would be really cool if this could be addressed, perhaps keying in some filmed extras in their place?
Agreed. Would love the Rontos to be gone in general. And the search droid going door to door. And the Dewbacks. I would just leave the far dewbacks in the ‘look sir, droids’ sequence that replaces the original. But all of them nearer the camera are goofy ones. The one right by the Cantina switches from CGI to original, among various shots in both the SE and Revisited.
I’m also wondering if Ady has thought about reverting the scene where Han chases the stormtroopers down a corridor in the Death Star and encounters a group of them to the theatrical version? The SE version definitely amps up the absurdity but perhaps too much so.
I think having more troopers tones down the absurdity in a way. The humor in the original version is “Wait a minute. You’re not the one who chases us. We’re supposed to be chasing you. That’s ridiculous”. In the SE, it’s now just, “Aha, reinforcements! The tables have turned!”.
