Star Wars Ep 4: A New Hope fan edit (* unfinished project *)
Time

@FrankT; Yes but also the prequels when i get round to them will have stronger connections to the OT.

@Joshua Blue: Your edit is were i got my inspiration on the Vader part.

A small update(with images)

More changes added to change list.

Now the images:

In the scene where Luke says "He's heading for that small moon" the Deathstar is just a white spec on the screen, this always bothered me somewhat it now looks like this.

The Stormtroopers outside the Deathstar have been removed, never really understood how and why they where outside.

The error of the officer changing uniform colors on the Deathstar has been fixed.

Star Wars Ep 4: A New Hope fan edit (* unfinished project *)
Time

I’m planning to edit the entire saga i was going to start with TPM and go onwards but the prequels are bigger jobs than the OT,this is my first fan edit. So some feedback or whatever help or hints you can offer will be appriciated.

What’s been changed?

Vader will be a stronger character and not controlled by Tarkin.

C3PO’s memory is not erased this is how i want it for my saga, so 3PO is part of the plan to overthrow the empire but R2 surprises him at the start of the movie by escaping to Tatooine but he will remember Tatooine and Obiwan.

Re-done the Mos Eisley scene mixed it with 1977 footage and SE footage, the real goal was to remove those Dinosaur creatures that annoy me.

Obiwan beheads the thugs at the Cantina instead of cutting a arm off.

Han shoots first.

Removed the Jabba scene. Main reason was because he didn’t appear as threatening as he did in ROTJ.

Extra Star Destroyer added to the Millennium Falcon escaping Tatooine. Due to the fact that Han says “Theres 2 more coming”.

Re-arranged the scenes at Obiwans hut to fix continuity.

Reworking the Leia torture scene to remove the Droid but i am still thinking on how to rework the scene so maybe i will keep the Driod.

Other smaller changes:

Fixed the continuity of the Stormtroopers shooting around a corner on the Tantive IV

New music for Vaders entrance

R2’s arm retracts after pressing the escape pod button.

Slightly deepened Vaders voice when he says “Take her away” and slowed down his arm gesture.

3PO doesn’t comment on Tatooine when the Droids arrive, again due to his memory not being erased.

I am using the Blu-Ray version and the escape pods door was repainted gray but goes back to blue on the Sandtroopers scene, this has been fixed.

Fixed the error of the reused scene when Owen chooses R2 after the red Droid explodes.

Removed Lukes mention of Biggs it is now “Oh im never gonna get out of here”. But if i can get good restored version of the deleted scenes of Luke and Biggs from the Blu-Ray i will re-add it, otherwise Biggs being Lukes friend will be removed all together

Leia’s “Help me Obiwan Kenobi your my only hope” plays throughout the scene but it doesn’t distract.

Theres one moment when Leia says that quote in a completely different way and tone, this has been fixed.

Removed 3PO scalding R2 for not playing the full message. I want to rework it to 3PO scalding R2 for playing the message at all as he feels Luke is not ready to learn of his true heritage and the past surrounding it, so currently it comes of as 3PO playing dumb pretending not to know anything.

Reinserted the original 1977 Obiwan Krayt call. The Blu-ray one is just ridiculous.

Removed Obiwan saying to R2 “Come here my little friend don’t be afraid” implying that Obiwan remembers R2 and R2 remembers him.This also means removing R2’s chirping after"Ben"reveals he is Obiwan Kenobi

R2 looks from Obiwan to Luke after Obiwan says “Thats a name of not heard in a long time…long time”

Redone Lukes lightsaber to more match the prequels.

R2 can be seen looking at Obiwan while he is talking about Vaders betrayal.

The Imperial March added to most Deathstar scenes.

Slightly redone the first Deathstar scene,Tarkin reacts more quickly to Vader’s first quote, Tarkin doesn’t order Vader to release the officer or admiral. A wipe also added when the scene ends.

During the bar scene people turn around to see what’s going on during Luke and the 2 thugs, after Obiwan strikes them down the scene when they look away is mirrored. This has been fixed.

Vader now says “her resistance is considerable”, though this may change depending on how i decide to rework the Leia torture scene as mentioned above.

Leia no longer says “Vaders leash”.

The hand gestures Vader makes when he and Tarkin discover Leia has lied about the Rebel base has been removed.

In the scene Luke says “He’s heading for that small moon” the Deathstar is just a white spec,this has been fixed.

The Stormtroopers outside the Deathstar have been removed

Vaders line “I sense something a presence i’ve not felt since…” comes a bit quicker so Vader remembers longer,he is remember when he felt Obiwan on Padme’s ship on Mustafar. In my edit of ROTS Anakin will actually sense Obiwan.

The Troopers line “The ships all yours if the scanners pick up anything report it immediately” comes quicker due to the delayed nod from the scanner crew.

The Tractor Beam plans are now white.

The error of the officer changing uniform colors on the Deathstar has been fixed.

The scene of Obiwan after Vader senses him again is slightly trimmed so it comes off as he knows Vader is on to him.

The Obiwan at the Tractor Beam terminal comes after Luke and Leia’s first scene, it is also one continuous scene, Obi doesn’t pull down the lever down also since he puts it back up again when the Stormtroopers appear.

The scene of Vader telling Tarkin of Obiwan comes after this only that instead os Tarkin it is the Emperor, the dialog is: Vader: “He is here” Emperor: "Are you sure? “A tremor in the force the last time i felt it it was the presence of my old master”. I need to work on the scene a bit more after this point.

After the Trash compacter scene where we can see the Comlink it is just background noise not Luke calling 3PO since 3PO turned it off.

Made use of the deleted scene of Vader and commender Bast, only that Bast if cropped out the purpose of this is that it is Vader stalking Obiwan as the scene of Obiwan stopping and looking around after disabling the Tractor Beam follows after.

Re-edited the Vader and Obiwan duel you can see a Rough cut below.

Things to be done/idea’s

Im thinking of a new name, all of my edits will have name changes.

Change some text in the opening crawl, " 19 years after the fall of the Republic"

Remove the red tint from Vaders eyes.

Add blinking lights to Vader chestbox.

I am using the Blu-Ray which has the rocks infront of R2 in the sand people scene this will be restored to the original. As the rocks make no sense.

Completely redo Lukes lightsaber on the Falcon scene.

Vader will tell the Emperor of Obiwan being on the Deathstar not Tarkin.

Rearrange the scenes of Obiwan on the Deathstar

Redo the duel between Vader and Obiwan, Obiwan will also say “You can’t win Anakin” causing Vader to go into a fit of rage. Also slightly redo the lightsabers plus some new SFX.

Fix the mirror footage of R2 at the Rebel Base.

Do some color correction, IE the Tantive IV will be a brighter white,the Deathstar will be gray not blue,the engines of the X wings will be red not pink.

Lukes lightsaber

Extra Star Destroyer
