The work Adywan has already done is so extensive. The new “ALI” masters appear to be great, but let’s be real… for the longest time the fact that it would even happen was a fever dream. The only reason this is such a hot topic for Revisited now IS because the dream became a reality.
Whatever Adywan does will look great regardless, as we all know the level of dedication and detail put into his edits.

Yeah, but there are some extra details I’m gonna miss when I rewatch Revisited after the 50th rerelease…
Leaks:
Revisited (HD):
Dear God let us please not delay Revisited any longer just so some little lines are visible in the background. I’m not watching Star Wars for the little lines in the background.
Delay? ESB Revisited has already been released. And it’s not just those little lines, the improvement in detail is global and defnitly noticeable…
Yeah well, I assum you’re not just talking about TESB. Why wouldn’t you want the same for ANH and ROTJ? So for Adywan to wait for this release so he can upgrade ANH and ROTJ would absolutely delay things. By years, most likely. I’ve been here since almost day one. Revisited has taken like 20 years. I think Adywan and most of us would like to see it completed in our lifetimes.
Much like video games, I think the obsession with clarity and detail quickly reaches a point of diminishing returns. I fell in love with Star Wars in the 80s watching it on VHS recorded off the TV on a 20" CRT. Anyone who is bothered by a lack of tiny lines in the background needs their head examined. I said what I said.
I never mentioned SW or Jedi… Those look fine as he’s using a combination of the 2011 AND the UHD for those. It’s ESB I commented on, which was 720p, and he had to upscale to 1080 and was released before the UHD became available… The only reason I even said anything is that I know he will never redo it.
