Woot? V2 of SWR? For gods sake dont become another Star Wars tinker man!

 

Hang on, we aint stung in the pocket for every re-release :-)

Id love to say i had the new updated edition to people who have revisted already (just for those in the know ;-)).

I find all this V2 of SWR a bit anal, and also insulting to Adywan who spent over two years of his life correcting mistakes and tinkering with effects to make them better - for free!!!

No matter what Adywan did, some people were never satisfied with what they got, and feel the need to go one step further with the ultimate 'Revisited' edit. Even then they'll complain or want to change something else. Any edit past the 'Revisited' edit by Adywan is a totally different edit and therefore shouldn't be called a 'Revisited' revisited edit.

Its done, dusted and best left as is, and that is a masterpiece. Thank-you Adywan!

And I thought it was Anakin that was whiny.

 

 

Damn Straight if it aint broke don't fix it

Um, it was Ady's idea, and its mostly so we can have an audio commentary.  He might change maybe 3 things.  I would think of it as a NON-PURIST version with commentary more than ANHR Revisited.

Was it really? I didn't know that. Blimey am I eating my words now...

So Ady is releasing his true vision. He did go along with what most of the purist said on his regular revisited release. Regardless of what he does I am going to get it LOL. I hope he does whatever he wants to it because he has good taste and a good eye.

I feel like such a plum!

I'm keeping track of the changes he says he might make to V2 at the top of my ANHR Change List in my signature.

But this is the wrong thread, sillies.

According to Ady, there are no speed-ups in the Ben/Vader fight, just faster cuts.  Interesting, no?

Someday, I'm want to make a splitscreen comparison of the whole movie.  Not sure how I could do the straight-up rearranged scenes short of rearranging them on the original...

Nice work G E Predator... I like how your rearrangement of the shots allows for more time to pass between Han and Chewie showing up, and Luke and Leia rejoining them.  Also nice editing on the duel itself.

If it's a DVD comparison you could have two seperate audio channels for the viewer to switch between.

Right, I'm thinking something like WookieGroomer's Split Screen.  But this is definitely a "someday" proposition, and others could definitely take this up instead of me.

I'm beginning to wonder if this was the reason the PURIST edition exists (since Ady said that no one but him has figured out the real reason behind it)...

I don't think Ady had to figure it out...

Just playing. Language is funny sometimes. :) Think he'll ever clue us in?

You know, I knew it would come across as that, but I was too lazy to restructure the whole post.

I think its either for splitscreen video ease or he did a rough version of PURIST for the Visual Comparison...

He may do that, he did it with the Ben/Vader fight in Star Wars. There's nothing wrong with the duels as such, just that the prequels had much better choreography and they make them look a little pedestrian.

I disagree. Aside from a few shots in Duel of the Fates, the PT lightsabre duels look contrived, rehearsed, and choreographed. Of course, that's because the duels in all of the Star Wars movies are in fact contrived, rehearsed, and choreographed, but the OT duels (aside from ANH, of course) don't look that way. In Luke's duels with Vader, it really looks like they're each trying to skewer one another. In the PT duels, it just looks like each contender is trying to swing his sabre around fancily and make contact with the other's blade.

Sure, the PT battles look pretty. So do acrobat routines, parades, and rock concert choreography, but there's no real danger to be found. I prefer my lightsabre duels to be a little more realistic and spontaneous, myself. The PT duels are many things to many people, but they certainly aren't spontaneous, or believable.

Ady, in the Luke/Vader ESB duel, after Luke sticks the smoking tube in Vader's face, he gets his lightsaber back and swings it at Vader, who blocks it. However, Luke and Vader's sabers should be rearranged, as Luke's blade should be on the RIGHT, and Vader's on the LEFT. As it is now, it looks like Luke is blocking Vader, instead of vice-versa. Can this be fixed?

There's actually no problem with that shot. Look at it in slow motion and you see that  Luke swings his saber then the first few frames he is still swinging it and Vader blocks it. Vaders is on the left and Lukes on the right.

Darth Venal said:

Yeah, I should have been a little more articulate and said the prequels had much more complex choreography, rather than better. Lazy of me. And I absolutely agree, they really do look contrived, rehearsed and choreographed. Some work better than others, but it definitely feels like a dance rather than a duel.

While the Obi Wan/Darth Maul duel from TPM is usually picked as the favorite of the PT duels (for good reason), I have recently taken a liking to the Dooku/Obi and Anakin duel from AOTC (before Yoda shows up). The only thing that ruins that duel for me is the extreme close-up glowfest. But when that part of the duel is removed through editing, the duel has a nice flow to it that is probably as close to an OT duel as the PT can get.

As for the Vader/Luke duel, I don't think anything needs to be changed about it, other than (as I've brought up before) saber burn/glow marks on walls/rails and such. The duel itself is perfectly fine, with the one-handed moves by Vader in the beginning being my favorite part. It really shows his superior skill in contrast to Luke, who has both hands on his saber and looks almost as if he is trying way too hard, rather than getting by on skill alone.
