okay, to those who are dismissing people's suggestion's as "nitpicking" and saying they're making problems where none exist, let me ask this: was there any problem with not having AT-STs in Battle of Hoth apart from the one? Was there anything wrong with the background mattes of Cloud city and Hoth? Is it not nitpicking to point out that you can briefly see part of the arm for the guy controlling the wampa? Does it really matter that the shirt Han is wearing in the carbonite doesn't match the one he wore as he was being lowered down? Did ESB not go on to be considered one of the most classic films ever as it was presented in 1980?


If everyone is so concerned with preserving the film as it is, then why even bother supporting this edit? If you think the edit is better off with or without a certain change is one thing, but to act like someone is just being nitpicky by making a minor change to one scene is not only hypocritical, but it flies in the face of everything this edit is about. The idea behind Revisited is to present Star Wars in the best possible experience, with the idea that no detail is too small or irrelevant to be considered.

The main examples you give WERE things that NEEDED fixing. The 1 AT-ST already there was at a height that would have been impossible, therefore it was either cut the AT-ST entirely or insert them elsewhere. The cloud city matte causes a continuity error I believe - either that or it was reused from elsewhere. The wampa arm - self explanatory. There is a REASON to fix that as it is clearly an error. Same goes for Han's shirt.

The Vader noise is not an error. It was a dialogue/sound effect choice that has always been there. It doesn't contradict any other elements or undermine any character moments. Therefore the examples you mention aren't comparable. They needed fixing. This was an artistic choice that works fine as it is.

Talk about a Strawman argument....
