Something I’ve seen mocked up by AggeIw (https://aggeiw.deviantart.com/art/Give-me-a-Hand-216238791)
It also begs to reason why Vader would even scream over his mechanical arm getting severed. Maybe there were nerves connected during Vader’s suit construction or something?

I was a big fan of the work done on ANH:R and ESB:R (except for reverting Bobbas voice, and I will fight to the death over that 😄)One could make the argument that Boba wanted to form his own persona, and not live in the shadow of the clones that were in his “father”'s image, so he adopted a different voice.
That would work if not for the fact he uses his own voice in TCW.
Reverting Boba’s voice to the new version wouldn’t be that hard to do if you want to “personalize” your own ESB:R (both interpretations are good but the original one is far more sinister).
Since Ady is no longer willing to do PT:R I guess we won’t see Temuera Morrison’s face when Boba is seducing the cute dancers.A) Accents being genetically determined is silly.
But yeah better Fett voice is here to stay so if you want to change it back do your own versions.
It’s not genetically determined though, he uses Logans voice in AoTC and TCW and sounds similar to Morrison (because it was him) when he ages in the same way Rex sounds different when younger (Baker isn’t very good to start with, affecting an Australian accent in TCW) but sounds far more like Morrison by Rebels. None of those are American accents.
I’m just a massive fan of how Morrison sounds (I played Republic Commando) but I don’t feel like making a custom version of TESB:R for the simple reason the recording of the lines isn’t very good in the SE.
I guess I was unclear originally, I meant ‘I prefer Bobba having a Kiwi accent over a generic cowboy one’ rather than ‘I prefer the takes of the dialogue used in the SEs over the original’.
Australian?! Oh, phew - then you bring up Kiwi accent on Logan lol. If you want an ex-pat Kiwi speaking an Australian accent (and I don’t mean Russell Crowe), look no further than Manu Bennett.
Seeing as many have suggested that ROTJ:R begin on Dagobah, maybe there oughta be a Purist Version of this movie too which actually does follow the original structure. But with an Alternate Cut of the movie, that’s where things will get really exciting. 😃
Regarding getting the Droids. I know Ady had intended on R2 NOT using his jet boosters but I actually wouldn’t mind it really. It’s just where he’d land on the skiff and of course, 3PO will end up getting picked up alone. Even if he doesn’t do it that way, I still wouldn’t mind.
When the droids enter the room, that whole time you can hear each of Greedo’s lines, in order.
I remember collecting the trading cards when the movie came out. There was this one specific card entitled ‘Beedo and a Jawa’ - where Beedo was clearly the Rodian.
Looking at when Luke swings his lightsaber around just doesn’t seem like the Jedi way to me. Maybe if he acted more in a defensive stance rather than acting all aggressive, but how could you even change something like that? Use a body double?! And also does it appear as if his saber is too long in certain shots?
I imagine you’ve seen all these already ADY, but others who haven’t been on the forum so long may have not seen them.

Years ago a member called SSWR made a bunch of small, yet effective, edit ideas. I didn’t manage to get hold of all of them before he took them offline, but there are some nice small ideas for ROTJ.
As far as ewoks are concerned - I like the idea that they are a thematic tool to take the rebels to the back door, and to act as a lure to the imperial forces.
It was joked around years ago that C3PO should be painted green perhaps - it seems oddly impractical to take a bright gold protocol droid to Endor when you’ve got the rest of the team wearing camouflage.
I loved that heroic montage at the end. Certainly leaves the film open-ended, doesn’t it?
Hey Ady, when Luke and Vader are duelling on the Death Star, I don’t suppose you’re going to do something about Vader’s floating back somersault down the stairs after taking that kick from Luke? It just looks totally off to me now that I think about it. It’s clearly obvious that he’s on a wire.
I don’t recall whether there were many/any at all of the TIE Interceptors (or were they featured more in the games?). I reckon there should be more of those fighters in battle to accompany the traditional fighters. And I do like the idea of TIE Bombers on Endor too, btw.
I do like the idea of Luke constructing his lightsaber using the Force in possibly Ben’s Hut or on Dagobah if Ady intends on starting ROTJ: R there.
I too wouldn’t be opposed to Palpatine’s Super Star Destroyer appearing if need be. And I do like the idea of the Death Star not revealing itself till later in the film with mere glimpses leading up to the epic space battle. It would make for a nice reveal methinks.
So, the Victory Celebration theme isn’t going to be used (that I was already aware was going to be removed). I’ve been thinking now that Ady is no longer going to be working on the Prequels, what are the chances of maybe adopting ‘Across the Stars’ ending the film instead? It’s something that’s been going through my mind as of late.
Also, will that Dug (Sebulba) addition in Jabba’s Palace remain? Not that it was pointless, to begin with, but I didn’t mind it. Also, loving the idea of Leia giving Luke Padme’s necklace on which would later fuel Vader’s intentions of ending Palpatine once and for all. And Boba playing double agent through the film - guess it would give him some purpose I suppose.
I’m super glad that Ady is gonna remove “Jedi Rocks” and (hopefully) restore “Lapti Nek.” While I don’t hate “Jedi Rocks,” I feel it was disrespectful to remove “Lapti Nek” in the first place since it was composed by Joseph Williams, the son of John Williams. Imagine how pissed off Joseph must have been to have his only contribution removed from the movie.
Oh wow, I had no idea Joseph composed Lapti Nek. And to think he went on to become lead vocalist for Toto too. 🤘
Oh my word, what a spectacular achievement, Ady! I take my hat off to you for a phenomenal job well done!
Loved the addition of troops being deployed from a couple of the AT-AT’s and the way that AT-ST got squished. Bravo! Also, I never anticipated the transports leaving to the left rather than the right like the preview clips from earlier. Thought that was a nice touch as there are two bay doors after all.
And I also loved seeing all those ships evacuating Cloud City in the background too.
And furthermore - thank you so much for including my name in the credits. I am beyond thrilled, my friend. 😃
After watching this, I’m already anticipating how much more of an improvement ANHR is going to when you re-revisit that movie. Wow, take a good long break, man - you’ve definitely earned it.
And lastly, did I spot an A-Wing at the end of the movie?! 😉
Congrats, Adywan. You’ve had one helluva journey getting this done. Looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labour!
Oh my! So what has one got to do to get an invite on MySpleen? I’ve just registered an account in the meantime.
Regarding Hyperspace, should Ady update the effects of coming out of lightspeed to match TFA and R1?!
My only suggestion to improve this masterpiece of what is the definitive version of this film, is a slight addition of music to tie Empire and Jedi with the Original. It works perfectly with the existing instrumentation the closes out the scene.
See of yourself:
That actually was pretty cool! 😃
That opening shot with Darth Vader’s helmet entering the Tantive IV really gets me every time. Would it be wise to have a go at inserting the Rogue One helmet into the shot? Problem is, it still won’t really match Vader further into the film.
Porkins is hilarious, gotta keep him in there.
Porkins must have inspired the creation of the Peppy character from the Starfox games. 😄
The Wampa is looking incredible, Ady. Is it going to be a full costume waist-down or what you have already shown in the photos? Either way, it’s absolutely stunning what you have gone through with the construction. Can’t wait to see the finished product in action. 😃
I’m sorry, I just thought that I’d ask a question that he or someone else could answer whenever he was ready to give an update.
No, don’t be. Dude’s response was way out of line…
And I can’t even begin to imagine how expensive it would be if one were to ever create a CGI version of a young Denis Lawson, to replace the Colin Higgins Wedge in the briefing room scene. And speaking of Higgins, I just read that he passed away 5 years ago.

Well that definitely confirms the Wampa then. ‘O’ for Awesome! 😄
May the 4th be with you…
😉
Utterly THRILLED at the announcement! Birthday month too, which makes the release all the more worthwhile. To think I had purchased an External Bluray burner shortly after moving to Australia 7 years ago too - and now the External will finally fulfill its purpose - that day the Bluray transfer becomes available.
Thanks a bunch, Ady… you’ve endured many a hardship on this stage of the journey and no doubt you’ll be relieved to see that chapter fulfilled. Here’s hoping Jedi and beyond won’t get too complicated for you and the team going forward… 😃
I’d love to see somebody attempt a newly choreographed duel scene, should somebody have access to an ANH Vader costume and Obi-Wan’s Jedi robes. Just a couple shots to touch up little flaws and all, if also to make Obi-Wan look more formidable like how he managed to defeat Maul on Rebels.
And even after seeing how Vader took apart all those Rebels on Rogue One, maybe we could have a better duel after all. Dreams are for free I do digress…
The more I watch the Obi-Wan vs. Maul duel on Tattooine in Rebels, the more I enjoy it. It only makes me want to imagine a duel between Kenobi and Vader in a more samurai kinda feel.
