That's a great idea. Better than what I can up with, probably:

 

As Obi-Wan opens the box, he says (taken from a bit later), "Your father's lightsaber. Your uncle..". Then when Luke asks what it is, "It is the weapon of a Jedi Knight.."}

 

Also thought of a few small ESB changes. Obi-Wan could say that Yoda was A, not THE, Jedi who instructed him. Later his voice-over could be "Was I any different.." (removing "when you trained me.") And Yoda could say "For 800 years I trained Younglings."

Yeah I also mentioned this one on the site, and it's IMO a minor change that fixes a large error.

I'm also for excluding any talk of "younglings".

I never noticed that thing with Chewie in ROTJ either, and I'm a pretty picky guy. Cool...

The stormies in ANH do get a lot of hits at the beginning of the film, and I think we in some way respect them for that. But as for ESB, I don't think a single stormtrooper hit a single target... and that pretty much sucks. That's why I suggested, along with this change, that we have snowtroopers on Hoth take out a few rebels after Vader lands, in close-quarters style combat.

BTW great job on the Roque 3 change. Never noticed that either.

Just thought I'd share some more radical ideas...

Can they be done?

I think a lot of them can, but it greatly depends on whether or not most people want them done.

Hey guys, just thought I'd share my site here since there are plenty of radical ideas for the prequels here. I even thought up an alternate ending to ROTS :) Take a look.

I like that saber construction idea, but I do have two points of criticism. One is that I would really prefer that a lightsaber not be put together in seconds, but in long weeks and months of work. This is how I always imagined it. In the deleted scenes, from what I gathered Luke was just making some final adjustment to his saber, not actually putting it together.

The second is that it feels a little too "in-your-face", like something that we don't need to see, we just get it.

Those are my 2 cents.

Btw, if you haven't had the chance yet, take a look a look at my site and see if you can find anything interesting there.

Actually the whole point of my site, and this thread, is to give adywan ideas for ESB:R, right? Cuz if he's not gonna implement them, I doubt we're gonna see them in the first place, unless the people at Lucasfilm do the changes behind George's back :)

But yeah, if adywan already decided not to implement an idea, we'll discuss them elsewhere.

Yeah I might just do that, although when I first posted Master Edition in 2005, I'd already looked over numerous lists and even discussed many of the controversial points in detail. If you have any particular changes that you've run across that have some merit, post them here or on the suggestions page on my site and we can discuss them.

Judging by the list you've posted, I'm already very pleased. Hope I can help in any way I can so that all Star Wars fans can be very pleased as well...

I saw it posted online a while ago, it was really nicely done to sound completely natural, plus Obi-Wan's face is turned away from the camera while he's talking there so it can really be done easily. I wish I could find the link though......

Thanks, I'll play around with it a bit to make a better contrast.

It's not even noticeable, but it's listed on the wiki page. I didn't see any difference myself. 

Just wondering what you guys think of some of the ESB changes I listed here:

http://swmasteredition.blogspot.com/search/label/ESB

I noticed that most of changes I mentioned on my site have actually been implemented by adywan :) Personally, I'm very relieved to see the Jabba scene gone completely, as well as the fixed arm on the floor, and the new Alderaan approach is awesome. That's just a few picks out of the many many things I adore about SW: Revisited.

What do you guys think of some of the other changes I mentioned that weren't implemented, like Obi-Wan saying, "I wanted you to have this..." instead of, "Your father wanted you to have this...", etc.?

The whole list can be found here:

Any comments, positive or negative, would be most appreciated...

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know that after seeing the release of the Blu-Rays, I decided to re-upload and update my old site which some of you may remember, http://swmasteredition.blogspot.com

This time though, I decided to completely change the structure, and allow everyone to vote on changes they want to see, comment on the changes that are already posted, and of course post their own ideas.

I’m hoping that this will in some way unify the Star Wars fan community in what we all want/don’t want, and be used to make one final change to the Star Wars movies… whether LucasFilm does it, or Adywan, or a group of us getting together and making it happen, it’s all open for discussion.

Hope you enjoy it. For the fans, by the fans!
