144. Slightly extend the shortened Vader helmet that's seen as he enters the Rebel base? Done! example here - http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/5589/facebook08.png

ASTEROIDS (additional suggestions)

145. Include the additional TIE laserbolts (and sound fx) that were initially previewed in the early 'asteroid chase' video clip?

146. Remove the large, non-tumbling, round-looking asteroid matte from the shot where the second chasing TIE explodes?

147. Alter the angle of the shot where the Falcon initially enters the asteroid cave, so that it looks like it's still diving downwards at this point?

148. Fix the 'white holes' seen behind the Falcon as it initially enters the asteroid cave, either by colouring them in so that they become part of the cave wall, or by changing them to a single entrance hole that shows the starfield perhaps?

DAGOBAH (additional suggestions)

149. Show Yoda actually taking a bite out of Luke's food rations? Done! example here - http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6671/12832511630552683157200.jpg

150. Reposition where Yoda is set down, so that he matches with the 'close-up' of him suddenly sitting on the log? Done! example here - http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/6573/facebook09.png

151. Re-'flip' the reversed shot of Yoda getting up after he's fallen? Existing shot shown here - http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/2250/screenshot7b.png

BESPIN (additional suggestions)

152. Remove the distracting SE 'floating spa' element seen through the Falcon's cockpit as it nears Cloud City, or make it smaller?

153. Make the Falcon's 2 front red lights come on as it lands on the platform, to match the shots afterwards?

154. Add a new city/sky/balcony 'railing' backdrop in the distance when Luke searches the corridors? Done! example here - http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/7488/hallwaygoutcomp.jpg

FATHER/SON DUEL (additional suggestions)

155. Add the hint of a deactivating lightsaber being sucked out of the big 'Vane' window alongside Luke?

156. Move Luke's lightsaber hilt nearer to his right hand as he hangs from the walkway, so that your eye is drawn towards it better, and it doesn't remain lost amongst the other debris on the walkway?

157. Make the flashing yellow gantry lights more consistently bright yellow in certain shots where they seem dull-looking?

158. Fix the end of the gantry matte so that it matches the 'prop' section that Luke falls from? Done! example here - http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/7417/trailercomp40.jpg

Okay, that's all for now, but I'll add more here when I can.

Please bear in mind that if anyone has any suggestions/or ideas, then they should ideally post them onto adywan's main 'ESB:R' thread for him and others to see/discuss over there - http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/STAR-WARS-EP-V-REVISITED-EDITION-ADYWAN-NEW-TRAILER-AVAILABLE-NOW/topic/9060/

There are links to high quality 'Rapidshare' versions of various clips on his 1st post there. Remember that a lot of the previews/shots already shown are still unfinished so far.

* EDIT * - Due to various reasons I've been unable to find enough time to add more to this particular compilation since I last posted here in March. I was a little optimistic in 'reserving' most of the slots over the next 2 pages it seems!

However, since then, I've been lucky enough to receive a copy of the EMPIRE:Revisited 'workprint' from adywan...which has gone some way to answering which way he's chosen to go where some of the suggestions from everyone here are concerned... I can only confirm that his edit is looking fabulous even in it's very incomplete 'workprint' form, and that I can't wait to see the finished version when it's done eventually... :)

Here's a couple more 'comparison' examples that adywan has recently released though -

adywan's first test version is at the top, while the original shot is 2nd from the top, and adywan's latest versions are at the bottom -

adywan's version is at the bottom in this comparison below -

* EDIT * - it's now Jan. 2011, and another new shot has been released. adywan's version is at the bottom in this comparison below, and it will have a '3D zoom' effect -

This is the final version of how the 'Emperor hologram' looks now in both it's 'side-on' and 'front-facing' views. adywan's version is at the botton in both of these comparisons below -
