Help: looking for... This Is Not The ANH Edit You're Looking For - fewer changes

Hello. My second post in these forums, potentially more annoying than the first, hahaha.

I downloaded and viewed most of Adywan’s Revisited edit. Once I got over my initial amazement at the work done and the effectiveness of that work, I decided that it was all a bit too much for me. I’m down with a lot of the changes, but there are some I feel were just too much, from the small (changing the sky on Tatooine) to the large (re-edits of the final battle).

The color correction alone makes it worthwhile, but I’m wondering if there isn’t something out there that tones down some of the SE changes (a la Adywan’s subtraction of Jabba; fixing the Solo/Greedo thing) without inserting drastic changes of its own.

I know there is the “purist” version but from what I can tell the more severe editing changes are still there at the end.

Fwiw, I like some of the more - shall we say - quantitative changes of the SE; extra X wings and whatnot. And I really liked the little animations Adywan did to the faces in the cantina scene (though I’m not sure if Greedo should blink, per se, not with those bug eyes!).

So if my question isn’t quite clear, I’m asking if there is a version out there that hews to the original/SE in terms of editing, with cleaned up/improved visuals. I think that about sums it up!

Or the Purist version of ANH:R but going by your request for more subtle changes I'd stick with Puggo's suggestion of the Darth Editious version.

Ooh, I've been looking for titles for my yet unstarted unserious PT edits.  Can I steal this title?

Ok thanks guys. My next question is then how do I acquire those? Revisited is readily available and a relatively quick download on torrent sites. I only saw the Purist version in one spot and I can't find the Darth Editous version at all. 

Thanks.

Check fanedit.info.  I think the Darth Editous version is there.  Purist is not for reasons that are still unclear to me, but if you put a request for links in the ANH-R thread, someone will usually PM them to you.

Ok I went and downloaded the .rar file they have at fanedit.info and what it contained was a .dlc ... I'm on a Mac and it doesn't seem to recognize the file type.  Neither do I.

Anyone have any insights?

Thanks - I guess I should be more careful, because I did a search for the file extension and saw that app - just figured I was on the wrong track. Next time I'll think more positively!

Hey Cantina Scene, if you want another edit, you might want to check out ADigitalMan's ANH edit or Adywan's Purist edition.

Hey, Also check out TMBTM's War of the Stars: A new hope, grindhouse

This is sooo awesome, also available on fanedit.info

 

If you've not seen it already you're in for a treat! a lot has been changed in this one, so its not the theatrical version its a completely different version. using new music and incorporating cut footage - difficult to explain - you have to watch this :)

 

 

 

You can never go home again, but i guess you can shop there.

Let me know if you're successful in downloading Darth Editous' cut. Last time I tried some of the links were dead.

I checked a few days back and many of the links were definitely dead.  I never downloaded it so I don't have the ability to upload it, unfortunately.

Sorry, I ended up using a simpler title.  Still appreciate it though. :-)
