Let me get the obligatory THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER! out of the way. Because seriously, adywan, this cut of A New Hope is revelatory. It made me feel the way I felt when I was 8 years old, watching a VHS copy of Star Wars about 2 feet from the TV. I'm really impressed with your efforts. However, I have one complaint that I can't help but bring up!
Why didn't you do something about the two fellas standing inside the shaft of the death star's beam? I've always found those guys perched on that tiny ledge, shielding their faces, to be the silliest thing in the entire saga. (I think Family Guy or Robot Chicken even did a bit about this.) I mean, this beam destroys PLANETS and they're just standing out there. I hope they at least had good health insurance.
Did you ever consider putting some kind of CG booth around them? Like a two-foot wall and then thick glass to the ceiling. Or what about removing them altogether? I know you probably won't revist ANH Revisted (lol) just to fix this one thing, but I'm curious if it was ever considered.
Anyway, great job altogether, thanks again, and I wait impatiently for Empire Strikes Back!
