Bingowings said:I was aware of those edits through reading all these threads (I knew that DE's was a major influence on Ady) but I hadn't seen them I've seen so many TPM edits that it's kind of burned that film beyond even my endurance levels so I want to keep viewings of OT variations as a special treat.
For those who have seen them are there any alterations unique to those projects which are worthy of reinsertion?
I seem to remember thinking that the insert of the X-Wing hitting the Death Star surface and exploding being easier to register in the DE cut, as opposed to Ady's. But I'd have to dig up the DE cut (if I even have it anymore) and compare the shots.
I can't think of any other changes. There weren't nearly as many as Ady did, and Ady may have already re-done a lot of what DE did originally anyway.... I remember seeing DE's edit for the first time and that one shot of the X-Wing hitting the surface had instantly made it my preferred version! I always hated that shot... but time went on and ANH:R took it many steps further.
