I can just imagine Adywan checking back in on this thread in the future and seeing all this crazy stuff…
HE WILL APPRECIATE HOW I MADE THE FUTURE GREAT AGAIN
I AM THE BEST AT MAKING PEOPLE APPRECIATE ME
FOR REFERENCE SEE MY POPCORN AND PARKING PROPOSALS
It’s hard to believe that I’ve been lurking around OT.com since 2008! I’m by no means a massive participator on these boards – and I never allow myself to become overtly social on any online forum, perhaps a failing on my part – so it’s a little surprising to me that Ady’s leaving has come as a real gut punch.
Pontificating in the Revisited threads has been an absolute pleasure. Ady’s projects introduced me to the art of fan editing – and to fandom, generally. His work spiked my enthusiasm for Star Wars when it had flat lined. So, this feels like the close of a personal journey. As hokey as that might sound!
At its best, this was a terrific sounding board. Ady is a fan edit auteur - extraordinaire. Unarguably! Revisited is his, and his alone. But it wouldn’t be undue to claim that the debates waged on this forum – the suggestions given and feedback offered, to such a depth as only true fanatics can provide (I used to think I was alone! What an outlet I found here!) – came to shape Revisited for the better. I believe, absolutely, that the final outcome of Ady’s hard work will have been improved by the countless thoughts expressed here.
Going forward, I hope that Ady will make use of a platform that could recapture OT.com’s spirit of collaboration. Otherwise, without the fluid communication enjoyed here, future Revisited projects will suffer in the end.
I don’t spend enough time on this forum to really offer any valid opinion on where-things-went-wrong. I honestly never noticed an influx of undesirables – and I don’t intend that as a put down to the regulars! (With a wretched hive such as this, what’s one or two more villains!?) Personally, I find it beyond easy to just scroll past daft comments; I’ve never gotten super vexed by anything I’ve read online, but I concede that it can become distracting when such posts are too numerous and too frequent. Moderation has always seemed a bit loose, here. What I can speak to, is the forum’s UI. This is by far the least user-friendly forum I’ve encountered - especially as regards navigation.
But hey ho. I’d hope that it’s not too late for OT.com to turn things around.
‘Cause I’m a creature of habit, man. Dig – I’m Pavlov’s dawg. I hits the bookmark, I gets my fix. I don’t wanna be hittin’ up no strange URL. I ain’t gots no time for that Googlin’ jive. Ain’t nobody teachin’ this dawg new tricks, sahn.
Church.
And then Ronster will turn up with a couple more suggestions 😉
I’m not surprised Ady left, he’s been here long enough to know what’s coming!
p.s. I love reading Ronster’s posts, please never stop making suggestions my friend.
I stopped looking at this film for good now. I actually really wanted to do an edit on ESB myself. I could not pull off the sort of stuff that the Revisited Team pull off. But I really just wanted to study the music in the film mainly. But yeah It’s one of my favorite films from childhood.
oh alright then… I suggest Ady comes back when he is good and ready 😃
I hope he does come back if only to leave a new list of edits for us to read. I remember when I first discovered Revisited, I wasn’t able to download it straight away so I read the cutlist on the first page several times!
I did something similar. I lurked around the time forums opened but never joined and then saw a sheet of altered images for the edit on some web page and first thought it was another new DVD edition and then followed the breadcrumbs back here.

I think jedimasterobiwan’s become an Apple II with failing hardware.
It’s in reference to his comment I AM THE BEST AT MAKING PEOPLE APPRECIATE ME if he meant to be sarcastic still that’s not right to do
Yeah it’s not right to use sarcasm when so many people are too stupid to comprehend it.
Are people still planning on burning this edit on blu-ray when it is completed? I know when ANH Revisited came out back in 2007 that the big thing was dual layer dvds. I have been making the shift to digital over the past few months and I plan on going with a digital copy of this. Where does everyone else stand?
I buy all movies on blu Ray considering it gives you the best possible home experience with beautiful transfers and incredible surround sound. Then I’ll torrent a copy of each movie AFTER Iv bought the blu Ray to put on my phone and computer if I wanna watch it.

Last I heard:
There will be several official versions released:
Blu-Ray 720p BD-25
DL DVD PAL
DL DVD NTSC
720p mkv
Special features DVD-5 (only needed for mkv & DVD version as all these will feature on the Blu-Ray)

Personally, I think I’ll stick with the MKV and mount the DVD ISO for the special features. Having broke the external Blu-ray burner I bought for ESBR before burning anything has limited my disc options. I’ll probably buy a replacement before too long. Discs allow for easier sharing with less-technologically-capable friends.

I’m planning on burning the whole revisited saga to blu-ray in the future. I just prefer to have something tangible in my hands - I’m old fashioned, I think. I’ve got my eye on a nice external burner (but I can’t afford it at the moment.)

No it probably makes him feel Erie.
It’d make me feel Ontario. I am Canadian, after all.

How do you sleep at night cluttering up the thread? Does it make you feel Huron?

Oh ha ha.
And then people wonder why Adywan would leave with all this really great conversation and all!

I like burning some of the better / more important fan-edits to blu-ray. Nice to have a menu and easy compatibility for sharing with others. And it serves as a great backup copy as well. The video and audio streams are exactly what I would have in an MKV version. So if anything should happen to a harddrive with the fanedit, I can just mux a perfectly fine version from disc and not re-encode anything. The same couldn’t really be said for the DVD generation and their crappy MPEG2 compression.
It’s a bit early to be sure that BD-Rs won’t start deteriorating. But I think they’re believed to be better, as far as long term stability, than DVD-R. I remember reading quite a bit about how lousy and short lifespanned that medium was supposed to be. And poor reflectivity of the discs, poor compatibility with the DL discs, etc.
