Steven the link you have provided is your photobucket login page. we're not able to view the photos. I checked your profile over there and it's also saying that you have no public albums or any recent public uploads so you will need to provide a different link or make your album public for anyone to be able to see your work

Really interesting stuff - I'd love to see what some of these scenes look like in motion.
These look pretty good. I'll be interested in this when it comes out.
Very promising to see in movement. Tho I respectfully disagree on giving so much importance to Tattooine in ROTJ. It's a quotidian subplot in a conflict that has gained galactic-wide importance. It just doesn't work the same way that an attempt of the protagonist girlfriend couldn't ever detonate the cloneWars in AOTC. It's just resting size to the galaxy.

Is it possible that Mithrandir has posted in the wrong thread?
It doesn't seem to make sense in the context of what you seem to be proposing.
Going with what Lucas has left us with the only way to look at Luke's comments about Tatooine in ANH is to approach it with irony.
On the scale of Galactic politics Tatooine is a backwater and unimportant, to Luke at that time of his life it's boring and a place he wants to escape from but in terms of story it's the centre of everything.
Lucas does this sort of thing a lot.
Luke is just a farm boy, Willow is just a failed farmer with dreams of being a wizard when he can't do even basic conjuring, Anakin is just a slave and the Ewoks are fuzzy cute teddy bears but without them there is no story.
Your mock up of the Sandcrawler going by a dessert rock thing does make it look a little on the small side but there are some very interesting concepts in there.
These images looks good enough for a mockup that will be used for a more polished result.
Some images literaly have amazing scenery compare with the plain simple of the original and trust me if you want more ideas for radical changes you can check this http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-ANH-SE-Redux-Ideas-thread-Radical-Ideas-Welcome/topic/10131/ and some others are like simple colages with no logic behind them.
I would like to see what is being done in motion and what can be improved for the sake of quality and in matters of correct/good looking final product.
im interested to help/contribute if this project get serious :)

Darth Stewie,
Do you like the Star Wars Prequels?
I love everybody. Lets all smoke some reefer and chill. Hug and kisses for everybody.

With all due respect, I'm unable to follow your meaning. It's cool that you have provided me with a constructive opinion but I really didn't understand what you said. Very sorry. Perhaps you could clarify for me?
I meant that, in your album you're planning a lot of things to improve, including a lot of Tattooine stuff in ROTJ (Jabba's Palace, etc). However, from my pov, Tattooine in ROTJ no matter how much visual enhancements you achieve, is a sequence that doesn't fit the climax of the saga at all. It's not a vissual issue the thing on Tattooine, but a plot one.

Im eager to see some previews and your plans from shot to shot in motion.
Do you have any rough cut that can you share to get feedback and ideas from it?
How will be the aesthetic of your edit? The new shots will have motion? 3d motion? Will you film elements and put them in the films? How the editing will be aproached? like 70s or like nowadays?
EDIT: you responed first :P

Wow! Those clips paint a very different Star Wars. I'm now very excited for this edit; a brand new version of Star Wars would be absolutely fascinating. The audio of Luke's thoughts really creates more tension and suspense during the fight. I actually find myself preferring it to the regular version, as Luke seems really tempted to go to the Dark Side. As for the other clip, I like some of the new effects, such as the new background for the sandcrawler. I also was fascinated by seeing the stormtroopers seemingly actually searching. The added dialogue works very well, being a stark contrast from the much more atmospheric and silence of the real movie. We get to experience the characters more and not have just background music playing, which would seem to be the trend for more modern films. My favorite change was R2-D2's modifying of the other unit! It really paints a mischievous side to R2 and sets up his character and later running away.
This edit doesn't seem like the old Star Wars. It feels like a brand new perspective. In fact, the changes you've shown makes it feel more modern and leass of an early 70's/80's movie. I'd definitely show this to younger viewers. With all the dialogue, the pacing seems to quicken, as in the trend of modern films. This isn't Star Wars... it's something different.
Now that you've got me really excited for this project, I must ask: About when do you see this being completed? I can't wait to view it!

The Dagobah clip is terrific, it really adds to the tension/spookiness of the scene.
The extra Threepio dialogue - I presume it's from the radio play? - sounds quite different, it doesn't quite sound right; but I'm sure that's partly because I know it's not from the original film. One other thing I'd add, and this sounds really pedantic, it is really pedantic, but it always bothers me when someone who's English says 'gotten'; I always hate hearing Alec Guinness say it, and I don't like Anthony Daniels saying it either.

I remember posting a suggestion along the lines of your cave edit on the ESB Wishlist Thread (at least I think it was that thread as it sounds too radical a change for my to have suggested to Adywan*).
I went a bit further by suggesting recolouring the snake so it had Maul's red black colour scheme and the lizard had Sith eyes so it was more like Merlin's cave in Excalibur showing the past, present and future forms that the takes in the saga, crossed with a bit of the manifestations of Satan in The Last Temptation Of Christ too (animals speaking in with the voices of the dead).
Your version is much more Luke centred which is perhaps a more logical iteration of the idea.
*actually it was in the ESB:R Thread after all.

Here's a clip from Dagobah to show how radical I'm going with these edits.
Very creative! Subtle and add tension. I dig the idea :)

A few from the start of ANH. Very low res for now. Gonna keep it that way for a while.
Apart some techical parts of the aspect ration (reminds me the imax shots in HD releases that the screen goes fullscreen) I loved R2's antics against the droid. It reminds some of its PT ones (take or leave it).
Im hoping if this edit goes way to radical to do something with the 70s editing.

Very well edited. The one thing that sticks out for me is in the Tatooine clip. 3PO says "I'm not going that way" at about the 40 second mark and then again about 1 minute later.
