Dear Adywan
(Sorry, but I don’t speak English very well….because I am from Hungary)
First I want to say…I respect what you did about The EPIV revisited, and your version is THE ULTIMATE EDITON for me. I like your color corrections and most of all the new scenes. I like all what you did, because I think you have the ability to sense what is right (what work well) and what isn’t .
I know, all the people on this forum has an own idea about the movies. All the people has the own idea about the necessary things what must change. More spec. effect, more explosions, more creatures, more more and more things what came from the fans imaginations.
I think there is only one single rule, one single way what a man like you must follow. The color correction is a must thing, and what you did is simple exelent. But there is something else, something most important what a fan must follow…the essential of all the RIGHT changes is the ORIGINAL IDEA and the SCRIPTS.
Please let me to explain this what I mean.
The fans desire is one thing, more spec. effect, more creature more ect. As you already know how many different opinions is there. But there is a simple different if a single fan wants to see more space craft or more creature OR YOU read the early scripts, know the cut scenes and try to follow the original IDEA.
STRONG EXAMPLE:
All fan want a little or much bigger Hoth battle. It’s of course quiet natural because the prequels. But if you just simple joint some kind of extra T47 crafts into the battle…..that is NOT GOOD….BUT if you do that like it was in the early scripts or the cut scene….THAT IS RIGTH.
In the early drafts it is a real cut scene….General Veers died in the battle of Hoth because a T47 fly into his AT-AT and destroyed the machine’s head. If you try to restored that scene somehow, it will be absolutely hilarious. Not just a simple and meaningless extended spec. effect…but a faithful follow about the essential of the early drafts. If you do that or something similar, please do not forget the first rule….faith to the resource is all above.
I know me English knowledge is not to good, but I really hope so, you can understand what I want to tell you.
