STAR WARS: EP V "REVISITED EDITION"ADYWAN - 12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW — Page 1392

Wow. Talk about tine tuning the Battle of Hoth.

I still remember back when Adywan said he was going to do away with the AT-STs and have the sequence only showcase the AT-ATs. We were all like “NO! You can’t remove the AT-STs! This is their debut!”. Then he released the next preview for this edit and what do we get? AT-STs everywhere! And really good looking AT-STs! They fitted perfectly with the shots we were looking at! But how could they be incorporated into the Battle of Hoth in a meaningful way? Well when I started watching the edit, I had two OMG moments that I thought were brilliant.

• That one shot of the Snowspeeder attempting to wrap the AT-ATs legs only to be shot down by an AT-ST escort. Really built up the idea that the battle for Hoth was going South for the Rebels since their plan to bring the walkers down was no longer viable.

• Luke does a double kill! The moment I saw that AT-ST walking right beside the AT-AT walker, I kept thinking “Wait, is Adywan going to?” Than the AT-ST looks up at the now tipping AT-AT “Oh, god. He’s going to do it. It’s going to happen.” Than the AT-ST turns it’s head forward, goes into the immediate direction away from the AT-AT, but it’s too late. “CRASH! That was amazing!”. Seeing that AT-AT crush the AT-ST felt like it was a moment that truly belonged. It’s so Star Wars I’m amazed Lucas didn’t think of this himself. It also helps that this was more than a simple downing of an AT-AT since seeing it crush an AT-ST added much needed variety.

That was just awesome.

Why were so many of the Falcon cockpit shots cropped in the Special Edition?

Ady, small error I noticed, maybe something you can fix for the bluray.

From 1:40:52 to 1:40:54 you can see a mask of Luke’s body in the fog to his left slide to the right just before he swings his lightsaber.

I can only repeat how truly superb this edit is, and is so vastly beyond my own talents that I hesitate to even mention this, however if I’m right it’s probably something you will want to fix…

I noticed at 22:42 that you can still see the matte boxes around the TIE fighters and possibly also the foreground Star Destroyer when the TIEs fly in front of the Executor.

Also, is it my imagination, but can I still see C-3PO’s fingertip falling down next to Han’s leg at 52:04?

These are of course trivial next to the brilliance of the overall work, and perhaps I am just seeing compression artifacts and not errors. Thank you so much once again for making this edit.

Great job Adywan!
Hope you can enjoy a showing of it some time away from After Effects!
Continuity is fantastic, other than the big ticket shots most of your hard efforts passed me by seamlessly, which is intended as high praise!
Did anyone else notice an issue with the audio around 1’48", just before the Falcon lifts off from Cloud City? The sound of the lasers blasts seemed distorted.

Cheers, Paul

Also, a question - seeing that there are quite a few subtitle options available - is there maybe some sort of script that can retime GOUT synced subtitles to work with Revisited?

I am hoping for that kind of solution as well. I watch movies mostly with English subtitles but unfortunately my father always needs Finnish subtitles to keep up. I noticed the MKV has Swedish subtitles though… damn Swedes, they always seem to get one over us! 😄

Thank you for this wonderful work of art, Adywan. Well worth the wait.

I made sex noises.

Just finished watching it, now THAT was some experience! Through all thoses wonderful surprises during the whole movie (right up to the very end of the credits), I (like I guess all of us) have rediscovered the film, thank you so much!!!

It’s currently downloading. Unfortunately I won’t have time to watch it till tomorrow 😦

On a side note, I kind of love that the barebones movie files come out before the full-on dvd and bluray files. Like a normal movie release, first you see just the movie at the theater, then later you can get all the special features and whatnot on the home video release.

Thanks for making this available to folks via an easy to access and use platform like mega.nz.
It’s a very fine work that you should be proud of and is very appreciated.

Why did you credit Clive Revill, when he wasn’t even in this version?

I never noticed a continuity issue until just now (saw the movie opening week in 1980 and, well, a lot since then).
Leia orders the evacuation of the rest of the rebels during the battle on Hoth and C3PO is standing next to her, the next scene is a very brief one of Han and Chewie arguing about Falcon repairs and then, not even thirty seconds later, there’s C3PO in the hanger while R2 is being loaded into Luke’s x wing. Either the hanger and the command center are a lot closer to each other then the subsequent escape would have you believe (doesn’t sound like a good strategic decision if you ask me) or C3PO can really haul tin.

I will give you some feedback on a few shots… I don’t think there is anything particularly wrong with the work I think it has more to do with the source that you are using.

These a small things but in a sea of outstanding let’s nail this down and it’s not about pointing fingers or personal opinion.

ok first.

Pink legs became just bright legs. In terms of matching this up the legs need to be darker but it’s no big deal.

This sort of Fluro Jumpsuit in this part of the film only must be something to do with brightness and recomp in the blu-ray. Where ever the recomps are you need to compensate for the increased boost in the source. But when the jumpsuit like this It looks wrong it’s probably about 4 shots total that it goes this color in Hoth battle seemed pretty good the rest of the film. But this was extreme but again it’s the video source suddenly changing most likely and your LUT not compensating.

Here you have been caught out by how bad a shot this is in every version on home video but… Outside the window is fine it’s on another layer.

Inside you have the weird purple magenta tint from the original still happening which is a huge way out shot compared to the rest of the film. Here is my reference.

Basically the highlights are a big problem but I do believe this particular shot tints yellow to be right in the highlights at least for the interior.

Finally

I still think the ground lacks detail in this shot and it’s again the video source it’s just got something wrong with it and it’s not your fault. In terms of finding a replacement I can point you here to fix the ground detail on this shot only as all the rest are ok.

Would not be the first time you nicked shots from stargate… Keep the tradition going! 😃 That really is all I have to say Not trying to push ideas but I do think that shot with the ground lacks detail and I know it’s not your fault so no bother leave it if you want to. But apart from that. I don’t think I have any points to raise and this was constructive criticism and I don’t think it is crucial or very demanding in any sense but this was if you like what I can see and perhaps just an opinion.

Shock Horror my favourite edit… A splash by you know who in the swamp. Surprised?

So many wee things to take in…just scanned through it…looks brilliant

Excellent work Adywan…can’t wait to watch it on the big screen…EPIC
