Rather vague description of your intents. Can you give specific examples?

I’d love to see your edit, thank you!

At the end of the day, the worst part of that shot is when Lando seems to walk outside the reach of the stage lights 😂, I wonder how adywan’s gonna fix that.

Maybe have him walk ‘under’ something like a parked B-Wing if he decides to ‘fix’ the matte painting (just a random thought). But perhaps there are easier solutions.

The addition of the Ghost is really a nice nod. However, I don’t know if Ady would consider this as I do not think he is including additions outside of OG trilogy now. I think the battle droid easter egg from the sandcrawler in ANH is going to be removed for the HD release too. I would love for the Ghost to be included though if possible.

I hope he leaves it in, it’s a very harmless easter egg imo. If you have never seen the prequels, it’s just another droid head and it’s not drawing any special attention.

Depends on the beer :p

Great analysis, cheers! It was a bit too simplistic how I presented it, I admit. I just always “felt” the SSD was way too small in that impact shot. Your math confirms it. For the SSD be that size in the shot and from that camera point, it would definitely crash beyond the ‘horizon’. Not an exiting angle so I’m curious what Ady will do.

Sorry if this has been addressed before but Ady mentioned he will make a better SSD Executor crash into the Death Star II. Will you fix the scaling of them? DS II is way too huge in this shot.

Using data I found online I made a quick mock-up of how the DSII curvature should look as the Executor crashes into it.

Hope you will consider this, if not, no problem!

Fantastic work on all of it, Ady, thanks! With your focus back on Episode 6, does that mean your work on 4 is (nearly) done? Looking forward to the release!

Thanks Adywan, for your devotion and hard work to bring us the ultimate ROTJ (and ANH) version.

I am personally a big fan of the Rogue One movie. It was entertaining and I went into the cinema unspoiled so the big surprise to me was the reveal of Vader and that the movie ends “5 minutes” before ANH starts. Real fun!

I have only two things I’d alter if I had the abilities to do so:

1. cut the unnecessary cameo’s of Ponda Baba and Evazan.
2. remove C3PO & R2 on Yavin and add them without any spoken words on board of the Tantive IV at the end of a hallway as the officer runs to Leia to bring the plans. Ideally, I’d be cool if they had filmed the officer runs past them and C3PO just does a little startled ‘Oh’ as he turns to see him enter the room with Leia. I’m not sure that is feasible in a fan edit.

Missed opportunity, imo but apart from that, wonderful movie that surely will be an enhanced experience when Andor season 2 concludes.

It’s ok, i just loaded up an older version of the file when i was doing the comparisons for the gifs. The reflections are there in the main edit timeline:

I’ve replaced the incorrect version with the correct one in the original post.

That looks fantastic, and the extra clip of the Falcon’s escape too. Very excited to see the final full movie.

I am so ready for this. Been following the project since the start and can’t wait to replace the SD version with your final vision of ANH. I know it’s a bit early, but how much of ROTJ:R do you consider already done at this point?

As requested I will give some feedback!

First and foremost, wonderful job on the edit, it cuts a lot of the cringe and unnecessary bits. The colour grading is fantastic without it feeling too saturated or bright (some edits do go a little overboard in that regard). The movie flows way better and the death of Val is MUCH more emotionally laden this way. I never liked her sacrifice, it seemed out of place. This works a lot better.

Only thing I would change is the introduction/ beginning of the movie:

• Keep the establishing shot of Corellia as seen in the original. I feel it is important to show the world Han tries to escape. Grimy, industrial and bleak.
• Right after the establishing shot of the planet, keep the shortcircuiting scene but don’t intercut it with the title card (though I really like the creativity and execution of this). Keep everything after this the same, the pacing and selection of shots is perfect!
• Show the title card ‘Han Solo’ with a nice musical cue right after he finally enlists for the Empire saying his name “Han Solo”. Fade to black after and then to the demoting scene. That way, the cut between enlisting and the demoting scene feels like some time has passed. His escape from Corellia is separated more from the main story serving as a little introduction.

It’s a minor issue and the movie works like it is now too, but perhaps you consider the idea.

Last thing is I hope maybe you will also consider making a smaller file size closer to 3-4GB.

Thanks anyway, I really enjoyed the movie this way and it will be my main viewing of Solo from now on.

Is it possible to send me a link? Many thanks!

Hello there, I’m very interested in seeing your edit, can you send me a link for the V2? Many thanks!
