STAR WARS: EP V "REVISITED EDITION"ADYWAN - 12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW — Page 1279

If I'm not mistaken Ady said he was releasing an HD version to ANH:R after he completes ROTJ:R which will also bring back the red lenses for Vader's eyes.

 And "Battle of the Heroes" would be out as well...right? I kinda remember something about this but it's been so long I could be completely wrong about the music.

 If he's trying to save the Vader reveal for ESB that would be advised.

Million thanks, Ronster!
I guess we'll just have to be patient.

I'm new here, but was wondering if this is still planning on having a release this year, or is it being held off until 2016.

I have noticed something about the matte and elements regarding the Slave 1 take off shot. It's not a suggestion for you to do anything about it but I will try to make it as easy as possible to understand.

The angles of the camera on the Slave 1 element and the actual background it is in don't match up they are impossible angles the platform itself is the culprit here not so much the background objects. the matte painting is looking down on the platform and the Slave 1 element is shot to work so that you would see it rise from a perspective of being underneath it (as it pitches.)

I have a sneaky suspicion that the background matte and angles in the shot below were originally intended for the Slave 1 take off obviously minus millennium falcon and live footage elements. Actually I have no idea which background was meant for which platform. but you will find the correct angles for the Slave 1 element fit's perfectly in perspective from the angles displayed below. 

So I think they intended on re-using this view (before the camera pans down) for the Slave 1 take off shot.

Let's again be clear, I am not suggesting you do anything about it. But I like to figure out problems, so I just give you my conclusion. All the other matte paintings seem fairly in perspective and without any issues like this, the Slave 1 take off however is not. And I have noticed some chopping and changing of it's composition for revisited. I just try and tell you what I can see is going on.

I hope that is helpful to you even if it's done and dusted. this is the last thing I feel that is left to cover of things with perspective issues.

The other question it raises is was there ever a live footage element shot for Chewie and Leia on the Platform? I hope one day we will find out... My cogs have been churning on this for a couple of weeks on and off. And this is the best I can give you.

Those 2 matte paintings that were used for the falcon take off and Slave 1 take off I think were just place holder matte paintings the drop in quality is very noticeable.

yeah, but if we are looking down on the platform, look at the original shot (1st pic) I posted (with the workprint rough cut matte painting may I add) we would not yet see the underside of the back part of Slave 1 where the guns are as it is still below the horizon line.

Which means if the angles were correct then Slave 1 just went past the horizon line in the background it was originally meant to sit in.

If the element was shot to go in that background in the film Slave 1 would have to be higher up in the image for that to be possible because we are looking down.

Basically Slave 1 is too low down. But if you have it higher up in the image with some depth of field in it like the Falcon arrival shot it would sort the angles out.

The thing about it that, I can't wrap my head around at this time is all the little breadcrumbs George has left scattered and even go as far as to give clues. If it had not have been for the special edition shot in the corridor of Slave 1 and that he left this background un-special editioned in the falcon arrival I would never have worked this out. So I think it's all a bit weird, but I think George is sitting on a different version now that much I am sure of. 

I don't know why Adywan would spend any time fixing the Prequels after finishing the OT. They're so forgettable. Best to count them as a lost cause and focus more time on the OT.

Further to my recent answer here I would add that they are the most broken.

You can't really change much story wise with the first two films because they are narrative speaking pretty sound movies.

Jedi and the prequels allow increasingly more room to be creative because anything you do to them will be seen less like vandalism.

With all-new Cloud City mattes, your concerns are probably already taken care of.

 By and Large yeah, I think you have done fantastic work on this film from what I have seen. I love this project it's my favourite Fan project.

I just don't want you to get caught out on trusting everything you see to be the real deal.

Not everything is as it seems in Empire Strikes Back, It's not that we are looking at massively different end result in the Theatrical cut or Special Edition.

But some things are twisted and you can not trust everything in this film. Basically don't ever trust anything about this.

Not sure that I really agree with Jedi. It certainly the weakest of the OT and not a great film by any means but it still holds a nostalgic place for a lot people. Frankly, I wouldn't want ROTJ:R to significantly depart from the Revisited goal of "what the special editions should have been" with any major narrative changes. If it does, I hope that a "Purist version" is at least provided.

I can’t see any logical reason why, if Ady were too busy to do a purist story version someone else couldn’t do a more traditional cut using his elements (as long as due credit was given). I feel that way to some extent should TFA turn out to be good and Ady’s changes to ROTJ:R contradicted it. But I maintain I am more excited by the prospect of ROTJ and the PT being worked on than even seeing Ady finish ESB:R and that’s not to understate how exciting that day will be.

Ady should do his own thing though and all power to his many elbows.

Is there any way we can keep the black lenses (or at least get the option)? I thought the whole point of the REVISITED series was to focus on retaining consistency between the movies. The “Battle of Heroes” was neat, but wasn’t in it originally so I can understand that going… but some of the changes were an improvement.

And I can’t say the “Tarkin scratching his chin before the DS blows up” is all that iconic. I’d rather have what Ady created (with the DS right at the end of firing with the lasers meeting together right before blowing up).

Adywan has it. You have that power too.

Different voice tone, and Mask, and Chest plate for that matter… Only thing worth keeping consistent is the tint of Vader’s eyes. Almost impossible to fix the other stuff…
