1st of all, Adywan that new Carbonite cast is incredible! We want to watch your version SOOOOOOO bad but its little things like that that makes us know that it will be well worth the wait!

Jaitea, all are pretty dam cool, but I really like your The Blizzard outside the hanger doors!

How funny is it that even though we learned that a new trilogy is being made... Hamill, Fisher & Ford may be in it... and theres gonna be more movies beyond that the thing we all are looking most forward to is EMPIRE STRIKES BACK REVISITED! LOL

There's one questionsurprisingly no one asked about all this huge news... which is who the villain/antihero would be.

Of course they'll make some guy appear... but can a Star Wars movie belong without Vader's armor, or Vader's character as THE driving force? Yes, the prequels tried; we all knew that the prequels were just an excuse to see Vader again, to see how he got to his OT-self; same for ObiWan; but I think I'm not lying if I say the prequels failed.

I think that even with the oldies recast, when this new trilogy hits the charts we'll come to understand that the character that has printed the saga with his signature will no longer be there, even more, he'll be dead by the second act of the saga (the OT), and it would be very, very notorious for us fans. So yes, it's a big emotion, and I'm loving to know that Luke, Han and Leia will be back, but I honestly can't see how much of it will feel Star Wars without the main secondary (I know, it's a contradiction, but I wrote it on purpose) characters. Ben, Yoda, Vader are out of this story.

And it's a great interrogant, whether a SW movie can be driven with characters such as Admiral Ackbar and etc. without the ones we are used to. Because to me, (and so for Lucas, judging by the TV spots of all the prequels), the most beloved character of the Saga is darth.

Hey all, I haven't posted in a while either, but this crazy news brought us all back haha. Well, I have an idea on how a create a great villian. (I dont have a full story line thought out, just rather a good way to create a villian that people can feel sorry for, then end up hating lol)

I haven't read any of the EU books or follow the EU at all really but I seem to remember reading online somewhere that in one of the novels that Han and Leia had twins (boy and girl I think).

So being that their Skywalker offspring, they surely would be gifted with strong Force ability. So both of course are in the Jedi Academy. My idea is that while both are doing well, the boy seems to show more promise and always seems to outshine his sister. (Siblings always have to live up to the one that everyone LOVES!)

She becomes angry and jellous and starts to act out. Finally, she goes to far somehow and is expelled, alligns with some evil doers and start some trouble for the Republic. There is even perfect way for Han to die, if indeed they decide to do him in. At some point, Han confronts her and tries to reason with her to stop and come home. Full of rage and anger flowing thru her, she strikes him down and completes the transfomation to the darkside. Then we get some Kane and Able style battle! 

I also never had a problem with the "Two fighters against a Stardestroyer?" line or its delivery. With the look on his face & the way its said, I always took it like the soldier was just weary and mentaly defeated with the whole constant movement that the rebellion was forced to do and the insurmountable odds they face on a daily basis. Like a "wow just when you think you've had enough, now we are dealing with this!" kinda thing.

I love the cockpit displays & ALL the Hoth displays as well, dont change a thing Ady! Great work!!!

Im not a Lucas basher at all, (I mean he gave us this obsession that we all share) but I think the major difference between Lucas and Adywan when it comes to these special editions is that Lucas will simply tell a bunch of his employees "I'd like this in there and remove that outta there" and then he goes out to lunch lol. Then guys who Im sure love SW to an extent fix whatever he says and call it a day. While Ady (with the input and help of his team of course as well as the guys in this forum) is totally hands on and with his edits with his own perfectionist vision of what the special editions should be. I love SW REVISITED as much as the original version of the film & I cant wait to watch this one as well! When this is available to download, I'll definatly be having a day off from work lol.

The clip was awesome, can't wait!

Being VERY new to these forums, and not knowing many of the long time posters here, it did seem to me that it was someone who wanted to be involved in this project that wasn't invited in lol. He didn't make a lot of since with his ramblings thats for sure.

As for hate mail on Ady, what is wrong with people?!? It's just like the same old debate of Lucas's special edition to original versions. No one is coming to your houses & at gunpoint taking your DVD, BLU RAY or even old VHS copies of Star Wars & replacing them with his. All of us fans own the officially released versions of the films. I for one on occasion like mix it up and watch a different version then the last time I watched. If you like Star Wars the way it is on whatever format that suits you, DON'T WATCH SOMEONE ELSE'S EDIT!

I knew nothing of Adywan but had heard of this REVISITED DVD that was out there for years before I found a copy. So Im far from a worshiper. But I gotta say it was, for me, an amazing experience and I am greatly appreciative of all Ady & all who put so much time & love into this project. I also appreciate anyone here who helps or even points out things that may have been overlooked by Ady.

On a last note, (and slightly off topic, sorry) I am NOT a Lucas basher at all. He gave us something that totally changed our lives as kids in a wonderful and amazing way. I have no problems with his tweaks & addins either. That doesn't mean that they all were great in my eyes, but it's his right to edit & change as much as it is Ady's or anyone else who feels the need to make an edit. I find it sad that he's seemingly so upset by people who bashed the last 3 movies or the BLU RAY set that he is done with considering more SW movies. The prequels had so much to live up to that it was easy for people to be offended by certain things. But a new series, with Mark Hamill as Luke in a "ANH OBIWAN" kinda role would be heavenly!

That pic is halarious Tobar!!! Somehow I never realized that the kick was soo far off the mark of even looking like it hit the guy, and the Boba is just sad lol.

That was awesome looking!!! Another thing that always bugged me about that scene was the fact that the foot just kinda slumps to the... well, right if you were looking from the front of the speeder. You can tell that it was just a foot dropped on top. It would be very cool if, using that photoshop you could keep it a little more straight & even crush the speeder down a little! (just wishfull thinking, but you guys seem to make dreams reality on a daily basis so I thought I throw that out there!)

I usually forget to visit Ady's facebook page.

 For all those who either forget to go, or for those who don't bother much with the Failbooks......Heres a recent comment from Ady:

"Thank you to everyone who has donated towards this project so far. We're getting closer to the completion of this episode, but still need your help. We are pretty close to hitting the target for materials with about £1500 left to raise (give or take a few hundred depending on prices of materials at the time of purchase). I'm still hoping for a May 2012 release date and it is looking possible, but ...we still need to find these funds. Don't forget that anyone that donates £5 or more towards this project gets a chance to win one of the models created for this film. Anyone that donates after the final funds have been raised will immediately have their money refunded and on that day the draw will take place and the winners announced. I really wouldn't be able to complete this edit without you guys and for that i am eternally grateful - Adywan."

And anyone who might like to add a donation to what we've already collected for Ady this Holiday season...just go to the official Revisited website: http://swrevisited.wordpress.com/ 

(The donation link is on the right side of the page)

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

 Just donated!!! I'm sure everyone has in here but I'm gonna try to spread the word elsewhere.

At this point, it seems silly to even question Ady's fixes & adjustments. Pointing out things that he & his mates may not have noticed or got to yet is definatly a good idea (although I doubt there is anything they have not yet noticed lol, you guys have pointed out & fixed sooo many things I've never seen & I have seen this movie 100s of times lol) But judging by the massive amount of work put in here & the frame by frame scanning Im sure they've got it under control!

(Man, I cant wait to watch this guys!!! My favorite movie of all time. We need to rent out a movie theater & all go and watch it together LOL.)

Just great Ady!!! I love the skylines in the opening shots, very nice! The lightsaber scaring on the walls was sweet as well. I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to see this I can barely contain myself!

On an unrelated/related note, does anyone know of a good program to transfer MKV files to a DVD type format like an MPEG or an ISO? I have a program called Prism Video Converter & I had a different one before but they both seem to make the file a bit jittery, like its missing a frame every few secs or something. You guys are OBVIOUSLY way smarter at this stuff then I am seeing as what awesome stuff thats going on here lol.

Hey all, Ive been reading thru the last 10 or so pages, (dont get online as much these days, working long hrs) & I cant believe the hard work going into this! Ady, you are amazing! GL should hire you & fire his entire team LOL. Empire is my favorite movie of all time & I feel as excited about this as I did when I was a kid waiting standing in the lobby waiting to get in the theater to see Empire! Any sort of time line on when this is gonna be done? (or how or where we're gonna be able to download it? The Rapidshare thing is kinda scary)

Once again, thanks to Ady & all who are working on this. I plan to donate after Christmas time when I have a little more cash flow.

Hi all, I'm new here & this is my 1st post.  I just found this site & thread so I'll be checking this daily! So this is a bit off topic so please allow me this just this one time:

We had AOL dialup for way longer then most people because my wife liked it & didn't want to change so I could never download anything. Recently we got a cable connection & I decided to look into figuring out how to downloading something Star Wars.

I remember reading something about ANH REVISITED a while ago thinking that it sounded interesting. So I figured out how to download & my 1st download was Adwyan's ANH!

Adywan, you are amazing!!! What you have done with ANH is over the top awesome! I never thought it possible to do 1/2 of what you have done here, and I never noticed (even tho Ive seen em all 1000 times) there were so many errors that needed fixing! I was blown away by everything you added as well! I haven't felt that way watching Star Wars since I was a kid! Thank you so much for your obvious love and dedication to making this project!

After watching the 1st thing I did was look to see if there were TESB & ROTJ and that led me here. Sorry all, I just had to give Adywan his props Back on topic now. I cannot wait to see Empire!!!
