Holy crap!I always thought this was this the original line…

I love how we can have a discussion about a continuity error, and not only did Ady already find it, he fixed it with success!

Even with just the temp audio, wow, I think that works and flows perfectly - well done! It’ll take some getting used to (with the original so well-ingrained in memory) but this is certainly a good change to get used to 😉

I assume you’ll keep the siren blaring up until it gets cut off moments before the Imperials ‘fire-zipper’ the door, just like how you had it in the original Revisited? Always loved how you handled that detail and the impact it has on the scene.

And we’re glad to see you’re doing okay, Ady, even if your monitor currently is not. Hoping you can get that situation resolved soon but in the meantime we’re still here for you 😃

Can’t you just get a replacement backlight instead of an entirely new monitor?

Not to be a pain, but after rewatching the droid removal shot comp you posted a while back. It’s spectacular, But I noticed that in the top section of the clip near the edge of the wall, there seems to be a misalignment of sources:

Just wanted to bring this to your attention.

There is a subtle change made to R2 in this shot in the 2019 transfer, in case you didn’t know. Will you be using it for ANH:R HD? I know it’s not much of a change, but it’s still a change.

Probably a “fix” more than a “change”, I’m sure Ady would have done the same himself.

I have logged it for examination for VisComps.

If Adywan was to fix a few more things in TESB:R, would he do what was done in the 2019 transfer, and fill in the dark spaces in the upper right corners of the shots of Luke’s X-Wing sinking?

I think he said he wouldn’t be doing more work on ESB. At least no new changes.

I wish we could clone Adywan so he could work on the prequels as well. Damn, I really can’t wait for this!

Hey Ady, in relation to your “red leader trench run” video

@ 1:04 Vader is doing the trench run. When it cut to inside his cockpit, the background shows him still in space and flying downward. He should have the trench run in the window behind him (Scratch that, shouldn’t have the trench run in the top window, but the stars should be going forward to backward, not up to down). This happens again @ 1:18

@ 1:41 Vader is banking left and downward on Red Leader’s tail. The following cockpit shot of Vader should have the background stars reflect that (it currently shows him flying violently downward like most cockpit shots of him). Fixing that would also line up with the next shot that shows Red Leader’s cockpit view.

@ 1:45 should there be a sound effect and laser shot added for Vader hitting Red Leader? He just says he lost his starboard engine.

@ 1:53 shouldn’t Vader’s star background match Red Leader’s since he’s on his tail? Vader’s star field is going in the opposite direction.

And what are your thoughts on adding Vader jumping to hyperspace after the battle that “That guy with no name” did?

That’s a top window. The shot’s pov is from below. There are supposed to be stars there.

Really hope we get an update and perhaps a release window for the HD version of his ANH…

I am aware of the bad luck that has happened to him over the last… well decade really. I can see why ones motivation would start to drop significantly. But perhaps -hopefully- I’m interpreting the radio silence wrongly.

Yup, I see it now, there should be stars. Thanks!

But since that’s the top window, shouldn’t the stars be going forward to backward? The stars flying up to down implies he’s aiming his ship downward in to the ground. I could very well be wrong again though lol

Hi Adywan, I know that among your sources you are using a 2011 Blu-ray downscaled to 720p and upscaled with Topaz AI to 1080p, and the 2020 UHD Blu-ray for scenes and details that look better, but recently a completely new and restored version was leaked using the OCN, without abusive and poorly done DNR as in UHD Blu-ray and with a much higher resolution and details. We know that all of your work on ANH and ROTJ so far has been with the previous sources, but if these versions were to come out in 2027, would you use them to improve your edition? In my opinion the news is quite hard for your situation, since you have had to work hard to eliminate static grain in the UHD Blu-ray, only for a version with the correct grain and much more detail to come out now. (Obviously this is incredible news since it’s a leak from the OUT and not a renewed SE, I say this from your position when working on Revisited)

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume Ady isn’t going to start the project over for the third time.

I’d still argue Ady’s might look better. Disney and Lucasfilm has had a TERRIBLE track record of quality on home video releases and I’d be willing to bet money that 4K77 and Despecialized will still look miles better than an official release.
