**Update
I have decided to make 3 versions since I am sure some will have different preferences. First 4 scenes of V1 should be ready in 4 weeks. (added two more scenes so bumps it back a little). Look for a link to view each March 7th

High level summary:

V1, Original vision for my “X series” of extended edits but no extra scenes that require live action shoots, props, digital composited sets or deepfake-type technology. In some cases, this will also include shorter planned versions of deleted scenes (but will include the deleted scenes). Will also omit most of the extra elements or shots planned to be added to these scenes.
V2, would be V3 minus all Rogue One bridging scenes, All extra radio drama scenes when in mos Eisley that would be new shoots. Starts with original crawl and above Tatooine.
V3-Original vision for this edit(see start of this tread) includes with bridge from Rogue One.

I will be giving focus to V1 first, as it will be the easiest to finish up and when that is done, I should have all the costumes, props and digital sets ready to continue on. Will still be doing some shots and early test now needed for V2,3… but did not want to hold things up with this. Detailed info below:

ANH-X V1 - 1st four extended scenes:

  1. Luke with treadwell on the surface - Scene fully restored and re-edited to fit proper pacing and audio (but not all audio) from radio drama version (saved for V2). Luke sees the ships from the surface. updated macro binocular view includes 1977 low end visuals of ships in the sky for now. Ends with Luke leaving in landspeeder to tell his friends.
  2. Droids looking for escape pod - Extended scene of droids looking for escape pod as taken from the Radio Drama, here there is more dialogue and extended scenes before they get in plus more dialogue inside the pod itself after launching.
  3. Troopers searching hallway doors immediately after entering Tantive - extra scene, gives a sense that the troopers are checking each door first before proceeding through the halls - laser bolts added here. Scene will be restored of dust and scratches.
  4. Droids in the desert - Longer scene of the droids after they land with slightly more cuts and different angles. Edited to accommodate the extra dialogue
