Have just seen, after a long absence, what Ady said about maybe going back to tinker with ANH:R. So much for what he said about NEVER going back to it again :)

Only thing I'm confused about, didn't he lose his project? Does this mean he'd have to go through the whole entire process again? Ouch. I'm assuming using his dvd as a source for further changes would result in a loss of quality.

My wishlist:

I personally don't mind the torture droid needle either way. Colour me unconcerned about that.

Straight cut instead of a fade in Mos Eisley. I have nothing at all against using fades in general, but it just sticks out like a sore thumb for me because it's the only fade still in the film as far as I can tell (as well as in the upcoming revisteds I'm assuming). All the other original fades have been replaced with straight cuts or wipes. Restoring just one of them to a fade seems a bit inconsistent to me. Not a big deal though.

Tweak the Snivvian's mesh warp animations. I think because it's been animated far more extensively than the other Cantina aliens (which were mostly just blinks and frowns) it's ended up less convincing (to me anyway).

I LOVE the music in Obi Wan's death. Only thing that needs to be done (maybe Ady tried this first time around. i don't know) is to soften the *plink* sound as it speeds back up. It's just slightly jarring.

Also - If this does happen. Please please PLEASE give it the full treatment. DVD-9 in both PAL and NTSC. It would be a real shame if your final, definitive version was lacking in that department. Go big or go home :)

EDIT: I seem to have overlooked Ady's follow up post, stating that only 2 changes tops would be made. Sorry.
