I love Adywan’s Star Wars Revisited. It’s a monumental achievement and it is one of the best, if not THE BEST, Star Wars alternative edit out there. However, its not the original. Star Wars Revisited, like Lucas’s Special Edition before it, is not a simple FX cleanup job. They both feature bold new sequences and additions which either enhance or detract from, but ultimately change, the movie. I’m not sure If I’m going to go through with this yet but I’ll at least experiement with it a little. Also, I may not upload this just because I’m a little paranoid about being Hunted Down by Lucas’s goons…either way this is what I may attempt to do.

Create an alternative edit of Star Wars that plays it very close to the original theatrical release but retains many of the FX fixes and continuity fixes instated by Adywan and Lucas. This is basically like a CG free SE

Sources:

Ady’s color-corrected SE

Star Wars Revisited

Star wars Revisited- The Purist Edition

The GOUT- cleaned up using G-Force’s GOUT Stabilization script

Enhancements I’ll probably keep

re rotoscoped Lasers and Sabers (I may need to work on these though to make them less prequely) actually I may not keep these if it saves a lot of time

matte removal

FX gaffe fixes IE R2s Blue Dome ect.

colour correction

Things Ill probably revert

Any re-edited sequences or flipped shots

new music, I know little about audio editing but I’ll try to edit the 5.1 mix to keep elements as close as possible to the monomix, I’ll also probably include the theatrical mono and stereo as well as an isolated score track

All BIG FX Enhancements- ie planet under death star, alien faces ect ect ect

I’ll also revert all Lucasian CG added in the SEs

Software I have:

for Mac:

Final Cut Studio Suite

Photoshop and Illustrator CS2

MPEG Streamclip, VLC ect.

for Windows:

AVISYNTH

VLC ect.

Again, I’m not sure about this, so don’t get your hopes up guys

UPDATE:

Probably not doing this for now, maybe later.
