Well , today , work on the practical side of things for ESB:R has ceased until the new year.
The models in the photos i just posted are 99% completed. Just a few more minor detailing to add, including the Millennium Falcon’s ramp, and they are ready for filming.
The Han in Carbonite is also now completed. But filming will now have to wait until the new year as it’s now stored in my workroom while we get everything ready for Christmas.
So , in the new year, i will just need to finish building the Falcon hangar miniature set and shoot it, shoot the transport hangar set, shoot the Han in Carbonite prop and then add them all into the film. Once they are out of the way, the only thing left to make and film will be the Wampa. The audio , i have already started on , and is about 75% completed.
With TFA and Christmas right around the corner, i won’t be posting a preview clip this Christmas. To be honest, i’ve probably showed too much already. But the main reason is that i just won’t have the time to do anything. I just want to forget about Revisited until the new Year and concentrate on spending time with my family ( and going to see TFA of course 😉 )
So, as i probably won’t be around much from now until the new year, we would like to wish you all , from the entire Revisited team, a very Merry Christmas ( or whatever holiday you may be celebrating) and a Happy New Year…
See you in 2016
I would have posted all the pictures directly here, but this editor is a nightmare to use for me, especially with not being able to resize pictures, add links embedded in the pics to see them full size, have links open in a separate tab/ window etc, so here is the link to the facebook photo album:

In the New Year when the models are finished it would be nice to see a photo mockup of how the models would eventually replace the obvious matte paintings in ESB and ROTJ, no finished footage but just single frames to show the potential improvements.
Great news Ady! Happy Holidays, rest and recharge your batteries. 😃
The models look absolutely fantastic, impressive job!

He’s Alive and in perfect hibernation.
Have a Good Xmas!
Woah… phenomenal work, Ady! Absolutely love the film-like attention to detail and the worn look on all of those models. Oh man and that lighting on the MF, superb! I am really hopeful you may be able to keep each of those models as they can be of great use for the future of the OT Revisited.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Ady, and to everyone here!
OK great! All 6 revisited movies will be out this weekend so we can have a revisited marathon before Force Awakens? Sweet! No pressure!
Those models look amazing. Question, will we be seeing these new models in motion?
Facepalm, I did.
Funny how they’re right about there being a costume goof in the carbonite scene, but totally wrong about what it is.
Wonderful work on the painting and weathering of the miniatures shown - it’s like seeing a group of old friends all together again. Great stuff. 😃
Wishing you a very enjoyable Christmas break adywan, as you’ve put in some fabulous work on ‘ESB:Revisited’ again this past year. It’s nice to know that all your time-consuming efforts are going to be wowing everyone before too long now.
If ‘The Force Awakens’ turns out to be a satisfying follow-up to the original trilogy, the anticipation for ‘ESB:R’ afterwards will be all the more sweeter I reckon.
(and for the benefit of those in the U.K. - just to give you a heads-up that Channel 5 has some ‘Star Wars’-related programs tomorrow night at 9pm onwards…so set your recorders if you’ve got plans to go out)
EDIT: Both of the hour-long documentaries last night were a nice primer for the upcoming movie - ‘Star Wars: The Definitive History’ covered the whole saga so far (including the SE’s), and featured the likes of Gary Kurtz along the way, while ‘How Star Wars Changed The World’ featured some very dedicated fans from around the world with their great-looking projects and collections. Both docs are on again tonight on Channel 5 starting at 10.25pm, if you missed them. (or alternatively, on Channel 5 + 24 starting at 9pm tonight instead)
Why?
Thanks for the awesome link to a watchmojo video along with no other input and which is completely unrelated to the topic, couldn’t have done without it.

Spoilers considered, now that TFA is out I would be interested in hearing if Ady’s plans for ROTJ:R would contradict the world as we know it in the sequels.
I doubt he’d change his plans too drastically if at all. I don’t think he was planning to remove leia being Luke’s sister which would be the only real contradicting change he could make.
^Yeah, I’ve thought the same thing. None of the plans he’s announced contradict anything from TFA, but, we don’t know everything he has planned.
^Yeah, I’ve thought the same thing. None of the plans he’s announced contradict anything from TFA, but, we don’t know everything he has planned.
Actually, a BIG change he was planning on making was having Lando and the Falcon not making it out of the Death Star before it explodes. I believe Adywan said he wanted to give more weight to the scene in the Rebel hanger on Home One where Han believes he’ll never see the Falcon again after he loans it to Lando for the battle.
I’ve never had a problem with any of Adywan’s decisions he’s made in his revisions to this point, except this one. I don’t like it at all. I hope very much he has reconsidered.

Pretty sure that was revealed to just be a joke, and everyone just took it as gospel.

Yeah I’m pretty positive that it was a joke. People freaked out so bad that a petition thread came out to stop him from doing it, and that was when he revealed it was a joke. IIRC.

At this point I don’t see how he could clearly do this because the falcon lives in the new movies

RIP Lando.
I’m still pushing for it. 😉
