STAR WARS: EP V "REVISITED EDITION"ADYWAN - 12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW — Page 1011

Ady,

I just took the time to look at some of the behind-the-scenes photos on Facebook.  I am totally blown away by the care and effort with which you pursue these revisits.

The models you have built, and continue to build, the care in terms of costumes and the overall approach in which you handle these edits are truly awesome and amazing.

I really can't wait to see the final product.

Keep up the great work!

Ok, so I sound like a total fan-boy but, hey, I really love the original trilogy and feel that Ady's revisit of the first probably did the most justice to what fans were looking for in a revisit, minus, of course, the deleted scenes with Biggs and such.

OK,

I made the mistake of trying to start at the beginning of this thread and work my way forward.  I got through about 53 pages at 100 per page and decided to give up.

I just have the following observation to make

Debates going on way too long in this thread: (some still ongoing from looking at the recent history)

TIE Fighter Color
Red AT-AT Window
AT-AT Laser Color
Boba Fett Voice
Vader Shuttle from Bespin
Wampa scenes
Tan-Tan ears

I'm sure there are others but, I can't BELIEVE how much bickering goes on about this stuff...LOL.  Don't get me wrong, I understand the reasons but, in my opinion it is Ady's edit and being that I was so pleased with the first one, I am not about to impose a purist, SE or PT view upon his work.

I also see all the help everyone has provided in finding additional errors to correct and in providing feedback in order to help him to make the project even better.

There was also the tremendous amount of support from people when he lost family members close to him.  (There were some real jerks too but, they were warded off)

I also loved the fact that in 2008 when Ady started this, he seemed to be all like "oh, there are just some color corrections and such, I won't be tweaking much, this will be like 7-8 months max".  Man how time flies and projects change...

 People are passionate about SW, and they all have opinions to which they are completely entitled.

Hence why I amended my original post to reflect that I understand the reasons people have different opinions :-)

I never said it wasn't relevant per se, just find it interesting that the debate on blue vs grey is still going on after 4 years. :-)

I just found it amusing trying to get through the beginning of this thread, that's all.  Not really knocking things, just found it kind of crazy with some of the debates that went on.

But, again, everyone is entitled to their opinions.

Ctlw83: that's the whole point of a debate.  To simply say it's Ady's edit is just like saying it's Lucas' film.

Can I debate the debate on debating?  Is that still within limits, or is that one debate too many? :-P

Joking aside, I completely understand the debates and the desire to make this the best fan-edit it can possibly be, while still remaining largely true to Ady's vision for it.

I only wish I had the skills to contribute something more than witty forum banter and moral support.  I do have Premiere elements but, not After Effects or anything that would be able to complete the necessary type of work for a project like this.

I'm going to try and be a bit more active in this thread.  I have loved the work on this project for a long time and have viewed mostly from afar so, sorry to say guys but, I might be tagging along for a while here...

The more the merrier (or the crazier we all get....I can never remember which of the 2 it is)

Who is to say that the two must be mutually exclusive?

Wow. Been AWOL for a while and that sock attack was quite pathetic, not to mention incoherent. Dude needed to try making some sense with his points. BBC only makes kids shows? Errr what?!

At the risk of sounding like an ass kisser, great clip ;-)

Notice that the TIEs are not just blue but are the same exact color as the 2004 dvd ... thus the issue is still relevant.

At the risk of keeping this one going even longer, lol...only *some* of adywan's TIEs seem to be the same exact colour of the blu-ray shots seen in the latest preview.

But as I mentioned in my 2nd post on the previous page, there seems to be a noticeably 'greyer' colouration to the 'Revisited' ones seen during the comparison shot of the close-up of the Executor's underbelly, compared to some of his other shots...so I'm not sure if that's meant to look like that, or not.

Stick that Youtube comparison clip on full-screen at it's highest quality to see what I mean.  Pause it if you have to, for a clearer look.

Unlike the whole "red AT-AT windows and green AT-AT laser thing", the work on making the TIEs grey has already been done.  It would be nice to at least have the option of a grey TIE version if it comes to it.

My biggest issue is mainly maintaining continuity with ANH.  While I personally love the visual aspect better, I would rather have continuity continue than retcon ANH.

Even so, I've more than made my piece, so I will leave the "grey versus blue" debate and give the floor to someone else.

I think that it might be better to fit the intent of the original models used in this case.  Just my opinion.  However, I also understand the continuity thing with ANH.

Maybe, just maybe, we could postulate that the empire decided to add some blue paint/metal to the TIE fighters in order to make them more appealing for new recruits.  I mean, there is nothing to say that ONLY clones could be pilots and that the empire didn't take on additional recruits.  After all, which would you rather drive, a pure grey car or a bluish grey car if you had the choice?

I don't what the real story in the EU is for the change but, I like using my imagination. :)

COME JOIN THE IMPERIAL NAVY. OUR SHIPS HAVE FRESH PAINT!

Come join the Imperial Navy and fly the latest model Twin Ion Engine fighter!  This new, updated model, is tinted blue, which catches the eye of the enemy's peripheral vision so they don't focus on the ship right behind them!

The Empire's new color scheme combat method needs YOU!

LOL!

You're right, it does sound kind of dumb.  I never said I had a GOOD imagination though.

Perhaps many 'new recruits' were just 'drafted' by 'the Empire' without a say in the matter?...

...and if that was Palpatine's method to strengthen his reach, then shiny blue makeovers wouldn't have been used to bring them on board in the first place...  ;)

I'm not 100% sure there still wouldn't be volunteers.  I mean, at the end of ROTS the senate seemed to support the idea of forming into the Empire, which means that it could be possible that their Systems and the inhabitants thereof, might also have been initially supportive.

(Gosh I love speculations like this having to do with a time and place so far away from our own)

LOL

I think that if they are blue to the point of being distracting or washing out the color of other elements, it becomes a problem.  However, if it is just a slight tint, I have no problem with it.

For the record, they wouldn't have to be "painted" blue, could just be they changed to a different metal type that had a blue tint or something.

But, that is just me being stupid and funny anyway.  I know the real technical reasons for the changes in the movies but, like tossing around stupid ideas...it's fun.

I know it's only a model either way, but the grey ties just look more realistic to my eyes. The blue ties look like toys- looks like they were made of plastic. And the idea that the Empire would paint their fighters blue just seems goofy and out of place.

But I do understand the want/need to have them stand out against the Stardestroyers/DS... Didn't Ady say that they would be less blue than the DVD/BD but more so than the ANH:R ties? ...They still look awfully blue in the latest clip.

Everything you just said.
