I have no clue how or if this could be accomplished, but Palpatine’s message to the Galaxy should be something we actually SEE, not just a footnote in the crawl.
Quick question about V6, I see that film grain is no longer listed as a change. Is this on purpose or is it an accidental omission?
Glad to see the battle droid is staying, was worried that was gonna go because of the prequels not being a part of Revisited anymore.
The vagueness of that tweet has me worried that this may not be a series ABOUT Obi Wan, but just that he’s in it, maybe just a cameo. I’m probably being dumb, though.
I think I have this on my computer. I’m away for a few days but I can let you know for sure on the 20th. Are you still looking for it?
Can’t speak for OP but I myself have been looking for it, if you do indeed have it, could you PM me?
…Hayden in the ROTJ unmasking scene?
dodges tomatoes
The entire movie will be one big training montage.
Any updates on this?
So I’m mostly just a lurker on these forums, but I just wanted to drop in to say… this is the most hysterical bit of EU I’ve ever seen.
Hi, it’s me, that annoying guy who makes suggestions every time you do one of these projects.
-Change the Death Star laser to match your ANH edit
-Add Planet Name text to Mustafar
-Integrate Adywan’s version of the DS plan graphic in the shots where it’s shown toward the end
It’s a bummer that he has to deal with so many weirdos and jerks on twitter, but I don’t get this smug indifference about the original version. It’s not a good look for people who (either as fans, or working at LFL, or blogging about their particular Star Wars-related fetishes) are heavily invested in all the other goofy details of that world.
That’s typical of his segment of the fandom. People who love the “saga” (if you can call it that) tend to be the most rude regarding the OOT.
EDIT: Just to be clear I still don’t believe that he knows what he’s talking about.
Gee, it’s almost as if when you’re rude and condescending to peopleabout things THEY like (in this case, the Prequels and the SE) they may be rude and condescending about things YOU like (the OOT).
The OOT goes way beyond “things we like” to “things that were stolen from us.”
I mean, I’m not saying I agree with the way the OOT has been treated, even though it isn’t my preferred version I think it should be available for those who do enjoy it, but that doesn’t change the fact that ever since the release of the SE and the Prequels, people like you have been smug and condescending toward those who like it, using big words that make you sound smart such as “objectively wrong”. Given that, I think people like Pablo, who literally gets shit everyday from people like you, as if he’s somehow responsible for your plight, have the right to get a little bit snarky.

Well just to throw an idea out there, you could do sort of a motion comic using elements from the comic adaptations or original artwork if you can find the resources. Then it would just be a matter of finding voice actors.
Could I have a PM as well?
So this is my attempt at re writing the crawl to better explain the political situation of the film. It’s a bit rough, but I just wanted to get people’s thoughts on it.
EPISODE VII
THE FORCE AWAKENS
Following the Battle of Endor, the Empire has collapsed, and the Sinister FIRST ORDER, inspired by the principles of the Empire, will stop at nothing to seize power from the newly formed NEW REPUBLIC, who refuses to take the threat they pose seriously.
Taking matters into her own hands, General Leia Organa leads a brave RESISTANCE. She is desperate to find her brother Luke, who went missing many years ago, and gain his help in defeating this newly risen enemy.
Leia has sent her most daring pilot on a secret mission to Jakku, where an old ally has discovered a clue to Luke’s whereabouts…
Anyone Check out the Rouge one Trailer? Thoughts… Looks like they are going with the original looks of the OT. This might Nullify ADYWAN’s changes from his original revisited…
The Walkers look a little funny like there heads do not quite seem right, and the lighting (shadows) of the imperial star destroyers look off.
Usually trailers to not have completed final effects so hopefully they will tweak this…
The only real issue I see is that the monitor behind Ben Mendelsohn’s character in one of the shots looks a bit outdated. Not that big of an issue. Worse comes to worse, someone can replace it with a more Adywan-looking one.
Is that…leeeeegal?
ThePirateBay: I will make it legal.
So I was re watching ROTJ, and I had a thought. Perhaps in Revisited, Adywan should make the last shot of the three ghosts (the second to last shot in the film currently) the last shot of the film. The “family photo” shot is so cheesy, and I can’t think of any in universe reason why they might be posing like that.
I think you are confusing practical effects vs cg. The OT lasers were hand drawn. Eo VII were cg. They look fine.
I suppose you’re right. Again, wasn’t trying to be rude, I was just a bit confused. Really appreciate the work you’re doing here.
Thank you for the reply. Just curious about one thing that you said.
- Undecided on the lasers as the tech from a story standpoint has advanced 30 years. Blasters are different except for Han’s. (I think the lasers look ok, does not warrant a significant change.
By that logic, shouldn’t the lasers in the OT also be unchanged? Technology has progressed 17 years there since the PT. Not trying to be rude, just asking.
Couple of questions regarding this:
Just out of curiosity, are you going to be fixing R2’s blinking light in this, to match the rest of the saga? I know you’re doing Vader’s Black Eyes and Chestplate lights, but you haven’t said anything about this.
Ok, thank you. One more thing, could you use xxtelecine 7xx’s version as a basis? I already asked his permission to use it in my edit, so don’t worry about that. If you don’t want to download the whole thing, I could send you the clips.
Since you’re using his version, the clips would work better 😃
Sounds good, when I get the chance I’ll send them to you.
I was wondering if you could do something about this, and make the space black like it is in the rest of the film. Whether that involves somehow keying out the blue tinge, or replacing the starfields altogether, is up to your discretion.
Ok, just keep in mind that i got a lot going on right now, so it will take some time 😃

Sorry to bump an old thread. Just wanted to ask permission to use this version of the film in an edit I’m working on.
