The space battle will be one epic roller coaster ride like the battle of scarif and the battle of coruscant😊😉😊😉

I can’t wait to see the new sequences in action when they come out of hyperspace and of course the “it’s a trap!” moment😂😉

Blue Squadron will have a bigger role and they take out a Star Destroyer😊😉😊😉

I know this is probably a sacrilegious thing to say, but I think Hayden as Anakin’s force ghost actually makes more sense. It might sound dumb right now but let me explain.

Vader/Anakin was 46 when he died. Hayden is currently 39 and doesn’t look much different then he did in ROTS. I’m pretty sure he’s not going to suddenly look 78 in 7 years.

So even if we take into account the fact that he was good again when he died so ROTS wasn’t the last time he was on the light side of the force, it STILL makes more sense for Hayden to be the ghost.

Hayden being in the movie assumes you’ve seen the prequels, which Adywan is not assuming.

Idk how this was done, but I gotta say it looks like the best of both worlds when it comes to the force Ghost issue. This one is obviously a bit over done, he looks like 90 rather than 45 (also wow why did they have Sebastian Shaw playing him, I know that the prequels we got were very different to how they were imagined based on what we hear and see in the OG trilogy but still, he was even older than Alec Guinness) but toned down a bit I think this would work as both Anakin being the man how died on the DSII and link back to the prequels as Shaw just doesn’t resemble him at all.

Did either of you actually read my comment? This fixes both issues and makes for a very pleasant compromise.

Its not like Shaw even looked like himself under Vader makeup so either way you’re asking the audience to draw a connection based on context rather than what the guy looks like.

Someone who was 1 when they were filming should not be in the movie.

I mean if I had it my way, David Prowse (the man beneath who was truly the mask) would be at the end, but there just isn’t the right bit of footage to put him there. But Shaw is to old and just doesn’t look like Anakin.

I do think the age is a valid issue, regardless of the prequels. That said for the purposes of this edit it’s probably not worth discussing because I doubt adywan will consider anything but Shaw.

I mean, to be fair, Ady is adding new pilots to the movie, some of whom I’m sure were pretty young when the movie came out. I’m personally fine with Shaw though, despite the weird age difference.

Yeah, Shaw makes the most sense for this edit. It’s an OT-only series, so there you go.

Improved Hayden makes sense for other edits.

How far we’ve come since seeing that obviously fake screenshot on Ain’t It Cool News in 2004.

What’s happened is that an entire generation of people have grown up with those DVDs and the prequels. Someone who was 8 in 2004 is 24 now!

Anikin, the Emperor & Obi-Wan are all much older than they look in my personal canon.
As the Revisited series takes nothing into account besides the OT, his age is no issue at all.

First of sorry. I am just a guy that found something cool, and though it might be useful. I didn’t realise it would upset so few of you, so much.

There is a B1 Battle-droid head that disagrees greatly with what you’ve said. Also, a number. Number IV. Ady has also said that multiple times that he doesn’t plan to directly contradict the PT with this edit, and is even changing the end of the film to set up the ST (despite how that turned out). So to claim that this is an OT only edit, only fits with your “personal cannon”, one I couldn’t care less about contradicting.

When Adywan started this edit he said it was “What the special editions should have been”. A spiritual successor of what should have been an edit that would tie the OT and PT together, but by improving on the original rather than destroying it. I think if Ady were going to make this a definitive OG is the only trilogy kind of edit, then he would have planned a bunch of edits for the PT. And before you say yes I do realize he’s not longer planning on continuing with them, but there are already legacy forums in place to take that responsibility on when he releases his notes.

I’m not a prequel fan but, I am foolish. A foolish dreamer, who still has hope they could have been great, and maybe still could be. Hell, I’m so naive I even have a ST rewrite in the works.

Ahh a revisited edition of the ST.

I just wanna comment here so I can see updates. How far off completion is this?

Ady, I just wanna say thank you for these edits as they were the one thing that pulled me back into the franchise after TLJ. Your talent was also one of the reasons I started doing fan editing myself.

This is everyone’s friendly reminder not to ask for ETAs on fan projects, particularly Revisited - there’s a reason Ady no longer provides ETAs and people constantly asking when it will be finished got really really really old during ESB:R’s 8+ year production.

Sorry if I caused any offence. My message was just to see what stopped production rather than trying to rush a situation.

I burnt out last week so I was more curious to see if I could help in any way.

But he spent years living on Tatooine, which makes you age in dog years. 🦮

Alec Guinness was only 5 years older than Obi-Wan was supposed to be when he filmed Star Wars. I think it’s more interesting that Mark Hamill is a couple years older in Last Jedi vs Alec Guinness was in Star Wars. 60s was much different in the 1970s than it is today.

Are you gonna use the intended into the trap cue as heard on the soundtrack of ROTJ🤔🤔🤔🤔

In the film however, the cue has been clumsily edited and i was like that was not what I heard on the soundtrack.

Due to the new scenes you’re putting in, I’m gonna hear the intended music cue😊😉😊😉

I’m looking forward to Blue Squadron in action once this fan edit is completed😊😉😊😉

A surviving Rogue One pilot would be a fine addition (someone not featured in ANH obviously). Maybe some grey skinned Mon Calamari.
