The fact that he built and filmed new sets, miniatures, actors, and props like Han frozen in carbonite still blows me away. Plus it was all to keep some of the Special Edition improvements, while getting rid of the over the top new stuff, then including his own new stuff to better improve what Lucas gave us. Def can’t wait for ROTJ. Don’t believe hes going with Yub Nub either sadly. Which is a fav of mine too

I have MAJOR respect for Adywan on what he did (his videos lead me here), but his revisited films go a little overboard for my tastes. His new Alderaan explosion doesn’t hold up all that great, and trying to make the Ben Kenobi - Vader Duel “more epic” just doesn’t work all that well for me. Hal9000’s edits for A New Hope & Empire Strikes Back are great, and really accomplish the task I’m looking for. I think for Return of the Jedi I’ll stick with 4K83 or Harmy’s Despecialized ROTJ, as my main issues with the OT’s VFX lie in Hope and Empire, not so much Jedi (apart from the Jabba Goons on the Sail Barge and the Emperor’s Slugs, but they can be overlooked). That’s the beauty of fan-edits, isn’t it? You can pick and chose which to watch!
