An additional month for every question you ask.

I didn’t say a month for every question everyone asks. Not all questions are equally annoying.

I get the feeling that Return of the Jedi Revisited won’t need as many changes, because many of the effects still hold up very well.

Idk I don’t think he does these because the effects don’t hold up rather just for himself and fellow fans, he originally started this all because he wanted to color correct the most 2004 dvds then he started fooling around with other things and the rest is history

Yeah I mean the effects in esb and even most of anh hold up rather well too if you aren’t scrutinizing them and just take them in as an experience. It’s all about the uniqueness and the novelty of setting what they look like with modern techniques.

Wow, last time I checked the progress of this, HiC wasn’t anywhere near being finished. It’s been going well. I can’t wait!
(I mean yeah of course I can wait please don’t jump on me guys I love you)
So, apart from the Wampa, what else is left until this is fully operational?

Wampa and some final tweaks I think. We also haven’t seen the Echo Base model integrated into the movie, but he might leave that for a surprise in the final film.

Lovely!
Will you be doing a frame-by-frame comparison like last time? I loved going through those.

Okay, I understand. They will eventually be finished. I only wish it wouldn’t take so long just for one movie. How can I learn to be more patient?

Ady has said ROTJ:R won’t take nearly as long as ESB:R has. Not because there isn’t as much to do (I’d wager that Jedi needs more work than any of the OT), but circumstances will be different. Ady has had several hardships and life issues during the creation of this project that has set it back considerably. Also, he has learned so much from this project and that knowledge will speed things along on Jedi as well as 2nd unit teams ect. that are now assembled.
As for learning to be more patient, well, you have no choice, so what ya gonna do? You’ve just learned a life lesson. 😉

That’s a good sign. I feel a little better now.

Happy Christmas to Adywan and Everybody on the Forum! May the Force Be With You All!

Its that time of year for that special treat from Ady…I hope it’s a Final Trailer. I hope everyone has a merry/happy Christmas

I enjoyed Rogue One-I don’t know if I’ll ever watch Episode IV again without watching it first because the two are so well entwined. I really liked the fix of Adywan matching up the Death Star plans to Episode II. Since Star Wars Revisited is my definitive Episode IV, I hope one day someone somewhere decides do a little tweak to the Death Star plans of Rogue One so that the movies match up senselessly.

The effects in ROTJ go from astonishingly beautiful to bloody ugly. I’d imagine ESB:R was more an act if enhancement most of the time than compleat redux. The cut and pasting in the endor battle is atrocious. The set sail barge is amazing. The model at times looks more at home in the serials the films were drawing inspiration from.

Merry Christmas everyone.

As for the Death Star plans, they are likely being changed back to the original for ANH:R HD ( Rogue One fixed the continuity error with the dish being on the equator in the one line about them being the “original plans”, so the dish placement was revised in the later schematics) and any mention of the death star removed from Ep 2

The creator has spoken.

Merry Christmas Ady!

That’ll work. Thanks for the reply.
Though I will miss the changes to the plans you made in the ANH:R version 1. I liked that upgrade so much I used the red Death Star schematic as my DVD label.
Merry Christmas/Happy Life Day, Adywan.

Personally I liked the change. Seemed like the exact type of fix they should have done in a special edition.

Rogue One was just trying to fix it in their own way. But it’s still silly.

When I first saw Revisited, I was a big fan of the updated displays but since seeing how Rogue One integrates the retro displays and graphics into a modern looking film, I’ve become less keen on them. Looking back, they do feel a bit flashy which contrasts with the cobbled-together used universe look of everything else in the film.

Honestly, I think the most dated looking thing in the film now isn’t any of the original effects, it’s the CG creatures like rontos, dewbacks and womp rats which don’t look as real as today’s CG and don’t have the tangible charm of classic practical creatures.
