Ripplin, yeah, for nearly a month now. Guess you missed what I wrote in the last post over here - http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Time-for-a-slight-redesign/topic/10039/
Going by the colour of previous efforts, it's one of my biggest fears for the Blu-ray versions, lol.... It's so great that Adywan is improving things in his versions.
cap said:is whether Lucasfilm should hire Adywan for his technical skills, but if you’re going to ask that question, then I have to ask Adywan: would you want to work for somebody like George Lucas?
Well Cap...It was obviously meant as a compliment to Adywan. I am fully aware that much of this has been a combined effort of the entire forum but I do believe it takes a special breed of man to pull something like this through and from the looks of it Adywan is one of these men.
When I state that I think Adywan should work for Lucasfilm its basically saying that "I wish that Mr. Lucas would listen to the voice of the fans" and I firmly believe that Adywan as produced a significantly different edit than I have ever seen before. That in itself is something that I personally think that George Lucas could use. A no-man, someone who rethinks the whole project.
With that said I hope that I have explained my meaning.

Gary Kurtz.
Lucas had a "no-man" at the beginning. Kurtz left after TESB.
My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.
Exactly. And look what happened then.

Well, Ady's is the best fan edit for sure, but let's remember that he didn't actually make about 99% of the cuts in the movie.
It's one thing to take someone else's work and tweak it, it's quite something else to create that work in the first place. People absurdly strip Lucas of any credit for these movies, or at least the good two, which is ridiculous. And seeing as Lucas did control the edits on all the OT as well, let's try to remember why those movies worked in the first place. He also did a lot of uncredited editing on Schindler's List, uncredited because of his issues with the Guilds, and look at that movie.
Yes, Ady is fan editor supreme. But let's wait till he actually makes a movie and edits it before we give him the credit for the entire movie.

I agree with that 100%.

OK, I understand you now. Sometimes I interpret things more literally than they were intended. (Yep, Aspie.)
Time is running out for the Rebels. Antilles upcourt to Skywalker. He’s being paced by Darth Va— the bone-jarring pick by Solo! He came out of nowhere! Skywalker’s open from way outside, he launches at the buzzer... Good! It’s good! The Rebels win on a sensational buzzer beater by Luke Skywalker! Let’s take another look at that last shot. He just does get it off in time. Wow, what a shot. That’s why they call him Luke Legend.
That may be the most exciting battle I have ever been privileged to broadcast. Certainly the most dramatic finish. We’ll get you an update on the Artoo Detoo injury situation in just a moment. Right now let’s go courtside where SuperShadow is waiting with Chewbacca.
And sometimes my command of the english language fail me! Which is normal for a Swede!
I love everybody. Lets all smoke some reefer and chill. Hug and kisses for everybody.
*rimshot*
LOL
Ady if you are still orking on your updated version of ANH:R is there any chance you could flip the scene where red leaders Starboard engine gets hit for the second time?

Dude, you can't call out someone on another thread for calling Biggs "Briggs", then go and ask Ady if he's "orking" on something LOL.
But seriously, Ady already discussed the one or two items that might be fixed, and I'm pretty sure that wasn't one of them.
Oh crap, out of character....
Shields are gone!
Yeah my hands were shaking when I wrote that
damn you hunger, DAMN YOU!!!?!!!

If there’s going to be a revision of ANH:R, and assuming it’s not going to be a “purist” edition, I’d like to make a suggestion about the Greedo scene.
Skip “Yes, I bet you have.” Just have Greedo saying “I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time,” then BLAM! I think the scene works better that way. Give it a try.

Are you kidding thats one of his best lines in the entire trilogy it is just dripping with sarcasm

Also, such suggestions belong on the After Adywan thread.

There's Chancellor Valorum's shuttle. And look over there...Ric Olie is having to repeat himself.
There won't be a v2 or ANH:R. i was only going to do this to add a commentary track and maybe 1 or 2 minor tweaks, but i'm not going to do a commentarty track, so that's it i'm afraid.

Sad, but understandable. Do you really want to talk about the edit for two whole hours? I mean, I could, and do each time I show it to someone, but you're probably tired of it.

Have Ric Olie do the commentary.

No, I’m not kidding, but I don’t expect everyone to agree with me.
I don’t agree that it’s one of Han’s best lines. He has a lot of lines that are funnier or cooler.
I don’t think Han pointing out the irony makes the irony any funnier. It can speak for itself. Greedo says “I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time” and then gets blasted. With the “I bet you have” line, it kind of feels like the director was afraid you’d miss the humorous irony if it weren’t mentioned out loud.
Most importantly, I don’t believe Han would say that line. This isn’t some silly game. He’s sitting across the table from a killer who is pointing a blaster at him and may shoot at any moment. According to GL, Greedo waited for Han to say “Yes, I bet you have” and then shot (and missed from point blank), but Han can’t count on that. He’s going to take Greedo out, not waste time on that pointless crack. I see two ways the scene could reasonably play out:
GREEDO: I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time.Or:[BLAM!]
[GREEDO falls over, dead.]
GREEDO: I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time.Why would Han risk Scenario #2 when he can have Scenario #1?HAN: Yes, I bet you——
[BLAM!]
[HAN falls over, dead.]

Han knows from the SE that Greedo can't shoot straight.

That line is exactly something that Han would say. Don't forget that when we first meet Han he's very arrogant and cocky. It's all part of his character. It's not just stuck in there to be funny or cool. It' just Han being Han
I agree 100%
