This edit sounds interesting and I would be interested in a link when you have the opportunity.

I am also wondering about what are the changes done in this version by ForceGhostRecon’s? It looks like he is apparently banned and I have no idea what is going on with that.

As for the original edit made by Forceghostrecon, he streamlined the FXItInPost lightsaber battle so that it flowed better. I made the following changes to his edit (though it’s been awhile so I might forget something):

1. I restored the original ANH opening (the FGR edit added a new scene using footage from Rogue 1, which I didn’t want)
2. I restored the original Death Star explosion (the FGR edit used a new CGI explosion that I wasn’t super fond of)
3. I restored the scene where Luke meets up with Biggs before the attack on the Death Star (FGR didn’t include this scene in his edit, but I personally think it’s great so I put it back in)
4. I changed Vader’s dialogue when he approaches Obi Wan back to his original dialogue (The original edit from FXItInPost replaced the dialogue with Vader’s line to Ahsoka in Rebels, which I thought was a bad change.)
5. I edited some of the wonky looking bits in the saber battle, namely around the part where Obi Wan is talking to Vader and his lips don’t match his words.
6. I converted the new SC38 to widescreen so the aspect ratio matches the rest of the movie (I did this by replacing most of the video and overlaying it with the existing audio)
7. As an optional alternative version, I added in the scene with Jabba the Hutt (I think the movie works better without this scene, but it’s also canon and my thinking is that this edit is following canon but with a more modern saber duel. Also sometimes I just dig the novelty of seeing a CGI alien in ANH).

I’ve also been planning for awhile to make an alternate extended version that restores the hallway scene from the FXItInPost edit, but real life keeps getting in the way. Hopefully I get around to it eventually.

Do you have a video online of just the lightsaber battle? I saw a few cut versions that matched closer to the time of the original, but with the new flourishes and that looked fantastic without being over the top.

Thanks for making this. A friend asked me to help them with the subtitles, so I just finished making an SRT. Would you like to add it to your download section?

I can hardly watch anything without subtitles nowadays. I would absolutely love an SRT/SUB title file to go along with this edit. @Trancelot I would love if you could provide a link to either version of Buzz Lightyear’s edit 😃 Much Appreciated! Thank you in advance!

I sent a DM with links. I guess I should find a more permanent place to store them…

Okay here is the SRT file I made. If you want the MKV with built in subs, message me.

Cool, I appreciate that! I wonder if you’d be willing to make one for the Jabba version as well (the link you sent me only shows the no Jabba version)? If not no biggie though.

Hey sorry I’m just now getting back from some time off. I don’t have the other version, but I can try to make the subs if you send it to me.

I did my own edit of SC38 Reimagined, if anyone is intersted in checking it out.

I generally like how you incorporated the SC38 fanfilm into the scene, and I like that you cut the hallway part of the fight as it would be a bit too much. In my ideal ANH edit, I would include this and Adywan’s upgrades for a definitive version of the movie.

My only problem with how the scene is arranged is mainly the music choice; I didn’t like it in the original fanfilm, either. Rather than using scores from the Prequels, I feel it should mimic the style of ANH more, with a Force theme playing over Obi-WAN’s death just like in the original to sync better in when Williams’s score goes off during the escape. Ideally though, all the audio would be fixed to digital quality
