Sounds interesting!

Is this a fan film proposal? I’m confused how someone could possibly make this happen without large-scale production involved.

This looks pretty awesome… great preview! looking forward to seeing the finished product (and more previews in the meantime)!

While sex scenes rarely “take me out of a film,” they sure as shit would if they were in a Star Wars movie.

I don’t need a whole “sex scene” but topless Leia would’ve been pretty epic.

Vader’s red lenses look really overdone in Rogue One to me compared to A New Hope. I prefer Digimod’s black lenses to the red ones we got, but a happy medium would be ideal.

I agree they are a bit over-saturated in RO.

Why are Vader’s eyes recolored to black instead of having the dark crimson tint from ANH?

\

Technically, Vader has a few different helmets, each of which have different lenses. The RO and ANH helmet are ‘supposed’ to have the red lenses while the ESB and ROTJ helmets have black. (and who the hell knows about the atrocity Vader in ROTS? Black, I believe… but red from the inside?)

But with all that said, it really doesn’t matter - looks cool either way. I understand why they made them red in RO to match up with ANH, since ROTS was so far off the mark - but in this edit, for some reason, I thought the change to black actually created a cool happy medium with the classic ANH Vader suit, but with the uncharacteristically-ANH polished look and black lenses… this brought it all together for me - a nice mix of classic and new. But it’s really all preference. He’s badass either way… in this case, I liked the change. If we want to see the red lenses, the official version is readily available. 😃

Maybe we can enhance Vader in the Bacta tank a bit for V2? (So we can see him a bit better). It’s such a cool concept and we can barely see him. I tried to mock it up for reference https://vimeo.com/234868076

Great line indeed ! But it would to tricky to remove the underscore, wouldn’t it ?

To remove it completely probably isn’t likely, but camouflaging it may work once other music is placed over it. However, there may be audio editing tech I’m not aware of to make this possible… some of the other guys may know better than me.

MalàStrana said:

I concur, but it’s feasible to smooth his change of voice (maybe the pitch of the theatrical version could also be altered to make Vader sound less old). I’ll give it a try (but only when the v2.0 of this edit is released in order 😃)

@ForceGhostRecon
The “Rebels” sources come from which episodes (and what time ?). I like the idea of Vader’s voice in Rebels, who sounds better than in R1.

Here is the clip I referenced - the dialogue is quite appropriate (with tweeking, of course) as Vader is reprimanding the character is this scene. “you lack imagination when it comes to producing results”… another great line. Check it out:

I think the audio change for Vader should only be applied for the Erso section (and thinking about it, there might be a way of removing the reference to Galen without using other Vader audio sources). The pun isn’t great but is what it is (as a Prequel film, it doesn’t really destract with the “No!!!” of his previous appearance).

Original: “I expect you not to rest until you can assure the Emperor that Galen Erso has not compromised this weapon in any way.”

Edit version: “I expect you not to rest until you can assure the Emperor this weapon has not been compromised in any way.”

Don’t know if that would be possible though.

This is definitely possible - I’ve tried that too. Again, just needs some skill and fine-tuning, but i did this test to see if it could work…

I’ve long been a proponent of removing Fett from ROTJ entirely, but I have to say I like the idea of Fett informing Vader about Luke’s presence at Jabba’s palace. If that could be worked out convincingly, I’d be happy.

But if not, I’m still all for axing Fett from ROTJ.

that just might work…

I like that! Is the sail barge hangar background a mockup or from something else?

Calling Vader from Slave 1 might make more sense, as Fett would have a reason to check on his ship once in a while and it’s more private.

The sail barge dock is from battlefront:

I just figured it looked like a nice quiet place to make a ‘phone call’ 😃

I think with the right audio mixing, this could work. Rebels Vader has a much more similar tone to the Rogue One Vader (vs. the OT) so using some of his dialogue could potentially fit seamlessly into this scene. With proper audio mixing, I’d love to see something like this in V2

The idea of the Duel taking place on Vaders Castle and using Rogue One as a source for scenarios is one that I like a lot, but I would rather preffer a place more in the outside of the world than the castle, for example, some shots around 0:50 on the next video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O84zsjLvOfk

More like mountains, rocks and that stuff, less of a big show for VFX and the Mustafar facility, Vaders Castle would be awesome tho, we could go even further and make it like an Anakin base where he is and stuff, but for the Duel, I would preffer the land rather than a building

These scenes are great! what an improvement! I’d love to see someone recreate an updated version like this

I think since suggestions have been closed for a long time we should just take what ady gives us.

I’m with you on this one.

teharri said:

I like these a lot, but where is the love for the prequels or newer films.

Well considering they are REVISITED covers, and we don’t even have ROTJ:R yet (or ESB:R for that matter), I’d say I’m still ahead of the game here by having the whole OT 😉

Here’s my final for ESB:R in case anyone is interested:

I like this one. My only problem there isn’t a matching cover for the rest of the films. I stream all of my SW films on Plex and I want them to have the same type of covers. This one is definitely good though.

There surely are matching covers 😃 http://mikeluv80.deviantart.com/gallery/61124997/Star-Wars-Cover-Art

I found this one online. It already has the Revisited label on it. I think it looks great.

fyi, I created this using Jerry Vanderstelt’s artwork… thank you for the praise. 😃

Here are some other cool Revisited covers:

Thanks for the lengthy feedback, MalaStrana. I am most likely going to release a 5.1 version with a higher compression rate, and could also fix some of the issues you’ve brought up. I have a sound engineer friend who’s going to have a crack at matching Vaders dubbed lines…I agree it’s not perfect.

Maybe it could be possible to retrieve Vader’s lines from Rebels which are from the exact same “JEJ’s voice age” era ?

I though the exact same thing. I tested it out here: https://vimeo.com/216069119

Seems to work for me (with some clean up, of course)

teharri said:

I like what you’ve done so far. Have you thought about using The Battle of Hoth music(4:00) mark? It’s a real cool piano that has a menacing sound to it

I agree, that 4:00 mark is definitely a low point in Giacchino’s score. But judging by what you’ve done so far, this cue will change as well. 😃

Looking forward to the finished project!

I’ve taken out Tatooine… works much better now. Vader also now says “Send a detachment to retrieve them.” instead of “Send a detachment DOWN to retrieve them.”

(still needs to be fine-tuned, but gets the idea across)

Very nicely done.

What version of the Imperial March did you use when for when Vader boards the Tantive and assesses the aftermath?

It’s an excerpt from “Krennic’s Aspirations” from the RO Soundtrack (from 2:05-2:15)

I like a lot of what you’ve done. I think you could remove the droids crossing the hall and have Vader entering sooner.

I also think you can still show Tantive escaping and being chased by the Star Destroyer. Vader is just already on board.

I agree, the droids crossing the hallway had to go. I’ve updated the edit in the link. 😃
