I wouldn’t read that much text even it if was about my own edit.

I wouldn’t read that much text even it if was about my own edit.
😄
Thanks JARUS5, Willrow-Hood, and NeverarGreat. I appreciate it 😃
Okay, honestly guys, did I make a wrong move with creating a new thread and sharing this outline? I seriously do not know.
I don’t post very often and so I’m not necessarily up on “forum etiquette”. I never intended this to be improper, attention-seeking, or for it steal anyone’s thunder if that was case (Ady’s especially, as I have upmost respect for him). Again, the reason I created a separate thread instead of putting it in the official was because of the length. So if what I did here was in bad taste in any way, please, someone in the upper echelon tell me so.
Or, if the issue is simply because it’s so long to read, then I’m really sorry if that bothers you… certian things cannot always be kept to a nice sweet blurb, especially when it comes to restructuring and editing an entire film such as ROTJ; I always felt this one needed the most work of the OT. So just treat it as you would a book. If you don’t want to read at all what I wrote, that’s perfectly fine too, but you do not have to pass by and be rude about it, please. I am just a guy who is very passionate about Star Wars (if you couldn’t tell) and wanted to share, just like anyone else, what I would love to see in a Revisited ROTJ.
I really thought it’d be an interesting and refreshing read for most people here, too, regardless of its length, for it’s something that is actually relevant and about fan editing Star Wars, which to me is a whole lot better than reading all of the bickering and nonsense posts that have been going on as of late.
I’m not sure what this is.
Hey, be nice 😄 I distinctly remember reading through your list of ideas for ROTJ:R back in the day, and I have to say, I really liked a lot of those ideas you had. So, it was actually your wish list that inspired me to create this wish list of my own, one where I could go deeper and to the next (1000th?) level 😃
You mean to tell me not everyone has read it from top to bottom yet? 😉 Yeah, I know, that thing up there takes a certain level of dedication and patience to get through all of it… and with a dash of interest to start with, too, that’s for sure. 😄
There are a lot good ideas in here, but holy crap, most of this would be un-doable.
That is very likely true, and of course I started thinking that at times also.
But then again, I’m not even sure what is or isn’t doable now. In fact at the moment, I doubt if anyone here actually knows. Ady may have opened a whole new door of possibilities since that release of ESB:R, as there are so many more people out there and their wizardly talents and hookups who are aware of this project now who’d be willing to help any way possible (whether it’s the technical stuff, all the various costumes, materials for constructing, etc), all for the love of Star Wars, and he may soon find that out if he hasn’t already. That’s why I wanted to set the bar this high with these ideas n suggestions, because if Ady wanted to and if most of it can be accomplished, it would absolutely be amazing. And I figured there are people in this forum who know more about this stuff than I do and if they believe it’s possible to do something like remove Fett from this film or had hopes to restructure the PT entirely, then actually most all of these wouldn’t be any more difficult in comparison.
Well, that looks like a novel you might find on Kindle 😉 It sure feels good to finally put this out there. I hope everyone has a fun time reading through it as much as I enjoyed writing it 😄
These are exciting times! After the highly-anticipated and amazing ESB:R was completed and released to the public, we are now finally at the next stage of having an official thread for Adywan’s ROTJ:R 😃
In preparation for this moment, here is a detailed wishlist of ideas and suggestions I’ve worked on consolidating over the past handful of years, things I personally would love to see for fixing/improving ROTJ in Revisited (or any edit). There certainly will be ideas here that Ady will be unwilling/unable to go along with, and that’s absolutely okay and expected, but at the very least, I truly hope this list will be inspirational and a helpful launchpad in his (or anybody else’s) endeavor for editing ROTJ.
As you will see, this outline did get to be extremely long and extensive, so this is the reason why I figured it’d be best to create a thread of its own… and it’s probably more proper this way, too, instead of bombarding the official suggestion thread with this behemoth, haha. Let me tell you guys, by the way, this certainly did help pass the time during that wait for ESB:R 😉
The source for this list is primarily from my own extensive knowledge of the film, but also from other people posting great finds/ideas as well (from this site and anywhere). I’m sorry I didn’t keep track of which and whose ideas I’ve borrowed from, and so if there are any of you who have made a similar suggestion of something in the past, it’s great we agree! 😄
Alright then, here we go!..
Overall:
Note: There may be a handful of fixes mentioned that can go without saying, but they were put in anyway to help with thinking - so hang in there.
MAIN THINGS BEING DONE:
Note: Ordered chronologically as best as possible.

An alternative idea (or in addition to, if the snoring works also) is to edit Luke’s lips so that he now whispers “Sleep” when he applies the Force on the first guard.
Lol, exactly! And thank you for reminding me I haven’t seen Dark City in a long time - now I want to watch it.
Though I would keep in the Force Choke instead of the snoring Gamorrean Guards, seems a bit to childish for me.
I wholeheartedly understand your concern 😃 but I’m confident it can be done in a way to not look childish. An alternative idea (or in addition to, if the snoring works also) is to edit Luke’s lips so that he now whispers “Sleep” when he applies the Force on the first guard. The whisper is, again, mainly so the audience knows exactly what is happening - he’s not harming/killing them, which is important to know. On top of the main reason I stated before about it, having this nonviolent Force ability would coincide nicely with Luke’s Force Mind Trick later on, after all, in addition to broadening the spectrum of Force abilities as this will be the first time we’d see this particular ability (I know, Qui-Gon applies it to Jar Jar, but that was in the PT and who knows if that’ll be kept in for Revisited 😉 ). And, Ady has proven again he is a genius when it comes to editing mouth movements. A human actor’s lips is a different beast compared to editing a puppet’s, I get that, but it can be done convincingly well enough, I believe, as he would hardly have to move Luke’s lips anyway (just the “p” part of “sleep”).
Just like Bingowings, I do approve of the “signature” Force abilities since it does work very well from a narrative standpoint (though, I’m sure the Emperor could pretty much do all abilities that we’ve seen, and then some, if he wanted or had reason to). And the reason the Emperor should indeed be the only person seen using the Force lightning is because, otherwise, it would greatly cheapen his impact to the audience later when Luke stands up to him; seeing the Emperor actually do something we haven’t seen before is of great benefit to his character and how we the audience perceive how powerful he is, so this is an extremely important first reveal to keep intact. If the Emperor still does have moments to use the Force at any time in the PT:R, he should never use Lightning there either (it should be something else or new, but within reason of course, so by the time we do get to ROTJ, the audience will be like, “Oh sh!t, he can do that too?!”). 😄
And Lando system don’t forget that one.
Lando’s not a system. He’s a man. Lando Calrissian. He’s a card player, gambler, scoundrel. You’d like him.
Luke going back to Ben’s Hut to find journals Ben left for him is actually part of the “Disney canon” through the Marvel Star Wars comics, only it happens between ANH and ESB.
Yep, that’s true, I remember reading that also. Actually when that issue came out, I was really excited reading that they also thought of an idea regarding Luke finding some journals at Ben’s hut (it does make sense after all), only it’s too bad they chose to have Luke return at that time period and they couldn’t resist having an encounter with Boba, instead of it being set after ESB and without a scuffle with Fett where I feel that plot point would’ve benefited most leading up to ROTJ.
It’s a good thing then that Ady isn’t necessarily taking into account for what happens in the EU while improving the films 😉
Yeah that convoluted plan to rescue Han definitely needs to be improved, no question about it. I don’t believe it can be edited to make perfect sense since it is limited by the existing footage, but with the right inserts and the removal of a certain scene, it can definitely be made to make better sense.
Where to begin, though. For this all to come together, I guess I need to first address other things as well. It won’t be short so buckle in… 😃
First, I’ll bring up Luke’s further knowledge in the Force… Where does he get it? Could some of it been instinctual and built from the foundation of Ben’s and Yoda’s prior teachings and further practiced before the events of ROTJ? Absolutely, I believe a lot of it was. However, I’m doubtful all of it was learned by himself - Luke clearly gained much wisdom and certain new abilities, especially when it comes to constructing a lightsaber, so he had to have been instructed in some way.
I’ve read in the past about people wanting it to be edited so Luke has been training with Yoda again, from the end of ESB up to the beginning of ROTJ. I think this does make perfect sense from a logical perspective, but, the dialogue that is said during this scene keeps it from working nicely, for me anyway. Let me explain why: It would be extremely odd of Luke to be training with Yoda for even a short while and waits until Yoda’s death bed to finally ask that most compelling question - the question that has been echoing in his mind continuously ever since Vader’s revelation. There is no doubt in my mind Luke would ask Yoda this question ASAP. Sure, it’s kind of odd he doesn’t immediately go to Yoda for more training, but it’d be even more odd if he did go there and didn’t ask about Vader right away. So because of this situation, it just wouldn’t work moving this to the beginning of ROTJ - it needs to remain in its original place. I admit, even that deleted scene of Luke finishing his lightsaber is rather cool, but it needs to remain as just a deleted scene.
Okay, now with all of that out of the way, again, where else could he have obtained the knowledge he has? Certainly wasn’t from Ben’s Force ghost either because it’s clear he hadn’t seen Ben again since he left Dagobah in ESB.
So the only truly logical way would therefore be at Ben’s home on Tatooine (which coincidentally is also the planet where Han is captured). It can be assumed that Ben’s home wasn’t ransacked in the years of its vacancy, and since it’s way out of the way and isolated, it’s certainly possible. Or if it was, what Luke needed so happened to still be there. Either way, since Luke has to go to Tatooine anyway, I really believe he would stop by Ben’s hut for anything that may prove useful in rescuing Han. Maybe even to seek some hidden truth about his father. He then comes across some written journals by Ben which were possibly even written directly to Luke for when he is ready and old enough to understand. Ben, knowing Luke, probably knew he would come back after a time he was gone. That’s my headcanon anyway, and I really hope it makes sense enough to also have that be the Revisited canon as well.
We do not have to see any of this stuff with him flipping through the journals and all, so this could simply be mentioned briefly in new dialogue between 3PO and R2 when they are traveling to Jabba’s palace (there isn’t room in the opening crawl for this exposition, and the crawl needs to be adjusted/improved to include other important matters that could not be mentioned anywhere else anyway).
And now about the new dialogue between 3PO and R2, a short but much-needed exposition to the current situation which couldn’t be stated elsewhere. And if I remember right, Ady does already have somebody lined up with an authentic costume and sounds very much like 3PO, so in cases such as this, it would be extremely helpful if he were still willing and available.
The conversation is as follows:
The original shot with 3PO and R2 as the latter makes his original first “Beeps”.
In the same shot 3PO says, “Of course I’m worried, and you should be too. Poor Chewbacca is held captive in that awful place and we haven’t heard back since from either Princess Leia or Lando Calrissian.”
Then a new close-up view on just R2 as he makes “long beeps”.
Then a new close-up side view on just 3PO as he is responding, “Well, that’s why Master Luke sent us. He did say he must first complete those important journals from Obi-Wan Kenobi, you know. But by then we could be disintegrated, or worse.”
Then the original view behind 3PO and R2 where the latter makes “short beeps”.
Then it continues as normal with 3PO’s reply, “Don’t be so sure. If I told you half the things I’ve heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you’d probably short-circuit.”
Then R2’s original “Worried beeps”
So with this new dialogue, it is now known that Luke was spending time at old Ben’s home reading journals to create a new lightsaber (which he did and already put in R2) and learning much about the Force that may be useful for this predicament and his own future (which he is currently practicing/perfecting).
Also note in the new dialogue that Chewie is already captured, which leads to the next change: There should no longer be that awful part of the plan from the original with Leia handing Chewie to Jabba, signed and delivered. Chewie should be mentioned as already captured, but it’s not important to know how. But, for anyone curious anyhow, while Leia and Lando were inside the palace doing reconnaissance, he was likely waiting outside with the Falcon and was discovered by some passing guards (it wouldn’t have made sense to send Chewie in as Jabba would surely recognize him). Again, it doesn’t matter how, just so long as that scene of Leia bringing in Chewie is removed entirely, as nostalgic as it may be for some. So the first time we see Chewie is actually when Han is tossed in the jail cell with him, which I believe works very well.
Then, during the scene with the hologram of Luke, it would be good to establish that Leia (in disguise as Boushh) is indeed in there, just as we will see Lando is also (so at first, before we see her sneaking around, she’ll appear as though she’s another of Jabba’s goons, just as it was originally intended to be). There could be a short shot of her listening to Luke’s message, in place of a removed shot of Salacious Crumb after Jabba was laughing to Luke’s “…to bargain for Solo’s life.” I’m betting most people would be okay with seeing less of Crumb 😉
So with all of this, we have: A rescue plan that makes much more sense (a reconnaissance team first and Luke comes in later for the actual rescuing), instead of sending wave after wave of friends into Jabba’s palace with no apparent plan; Both Lando and Leia should already be inside learning the layout of the palace and it’s inferred that, as much as possible, they were reporting back to Luke of their findings and what’s happening; Chewie still gets captured but this time it’s assumed it’s while he was out with the Falcon or something, instead of just being handed over; Leia will still attempt to rescue Han on her own because of her growing impatience and worry that others will get captured soon before Luke can arrive (since she is now out of contact with Luke); And, we are now given a solid, logical reason why Luke wasn’t there in the rescue from the beginning (it’s when things started heading south [Chewie’s capture] that he decides to send the droids, to buy himself time and finish whatever crucial thing(s) he is learning about).
And lastly, it should be edited so, instead of Force choking, Luke uses the Force to make the two Gamorrean guards hunker down and fall asleep (and they begin to snore, just to be clear what’s happening). I can understand if some people do like that he is using the Force choke, because it foreshadows what he may become later, but, when you really think about it, Luke shouldn’t resort to killing/harming anyone yet if he wants that small chance at rescuing his friends without trouble; very foolish to do so before any negotiations, even if he might think Jabba won’t agree. As for the Sarlacc pit, there it makes sense to start killing (which forshadows a potential dark side just as well).
Well… that’s my wordy explanation and take on how the rescue plan can be edited for the better 😃 Any thoughts? Can this idea be improved even further? I’ve been thinking about it for a while and sure can’t think of anything else. It’s probable I’ll bring it up again when the official ROTJ:R thread is available 😉
I am really liking this idea guys. For sure this will give further justification to the audience for why Fett is still hanging around at the palace. I just always imagined that even bounty hunters need down time, but this is much, much better. And breaking up the settings more during the first act is a very good thing too. Great idea TK42-WAN!
I am thinking (and really hoping) there will be a need for stand-in actors for both Vader and Fett anyway, for fixing/improving certain other parts of the film (these characters need work… and Han too while I’m bringing it up), so if we got them for those parts, a new and worthwhile scene like this can be feasible.
Hey benduwan, I admire you are trying hard to help find any more remaining errors, but really it’s way too late in the game for pointing those sort of things out now. Also, almost all of those are either ones that are impossible to fix without creating other/more issues (so in these cases it’s simply best to leave it alone) or, as Ady already said, aren’t even an issue.
But, we will see you for the ROTJ:R suggestions thread when that comes around 😃
I’ve seen ESB:R multiple times now and I couldn’t be happier with everything Ady has managed to do for it - the many fixes and various enhancements he was able to pull off to an already amazing film are just outstanding. There are of course still only a couple small things I would’ve loved seeing getting fixed/updated (mainly what oh_riginal already said [the missing shadows from the Snowspeeder when it’s circling the AT-AT] and the two Bogwings at 1:00:33 could have benefitted from a CG makeover just like the ones earlier when Luke crashes his X-Wing), but nonetheless, this is still a work of wonder and will be cherished by so many for always. I can’t think of anything else to add without starting to echo (base?) too much of what has already been said by others 😉 I do have Harmy’s highly respectable Despecialized editions and even my “faces” VHSs for that nastolgic craving, but like for many others here, these Revisited edits will be my preferred way of watching them 😄
I made a few screenshot comparisons from the first act. I can make more if anyone is interested…
I really appreciate these! I hope you can do a few more before Saturday. I’m gonna use a handful of em to show a small audience what they’re getting into.
Same here! Been showing some of these to people at work lately who weren’t fully aware of this project, and they are excited. I’ve been very selective, though, in which comparisons to show; for them I want to preserve all of that goodness during the battle of Hoth, for example. 😉
Well, there goes any plans I had for this weekend… Now, my wife and I will be watching ESB:R!!
One cannot say enough how thankful we all are for this project you have devoted yourself to, Ady. The whole process has undergone SO much in all these years, both ups and downs, and now in the end, today, people everywhere can come together as like a family to finally watch one of the top cinematic masterpieces of ALL time with the absolute best love & care treatment it could have possibly received and deserved. Ady… THANK YOU so very much!!!
Exciting!! Just like others here, I’m absolutely ecstatic to read this news and eager to see this polished masterpiece 😄 Thank you so much, Ady, and May the Fourth be with you too!!
Now it’s that time for me to look into buying an external BD writer 😉
It’s been a while since I’ve last posted in here, but I wanted to finally say that you have been doing outstanding work on that Wampa, Ady! Top-notch detail with a whole lot of patience 😃 It’s coming along perfectly and I cannot wait to see it in its finality!
And I’m liking that image of the X-Wing with a nearby star inserted in; it’s a nice little touch that, for me at least, adds an extra layer of realism and beauty 😃
Keep up the amazing work!!
A bit late to this party, but here’s my ranking of the SW flicks on a 10pt scale:
#1 ESB - 9.9
#2 SW/ANH - 9.5
#3 TFA - 9.1
#4 ROTJ 8.4
#5 ROTS 7.7
#6 TPM 7.6
#7 AOTC 6.9
Eventually I’ll get to my review of TFA and I’ll post that in the other thread 😉
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!

Bad news: Still opens with a lightaber floating in spaaaaaaaceUgh… that’s such a stupid concept. Surely it can’t be true. Opening with something that throws reality so far out the window doesn’t set a good tone…
Can either of you or somebody explain what exactly is wrong with having a lightsaber/hand in space? In a sci-fi/fantasy universe, where there is the Force, sound in space, and multiple other laws of physics being defied (according to our world)… to me, a hand floating in space doesn’t throw reality out the window any more so. I’m guessing some think it’d surely evaporate when entering the atmosphere, or something? How do we know for certain it would or wouldn’t? It could also very well be a mechanical hand (where any remaining synthetic flesh may melt away) or maybe it’s encapsulated in something - we don’t know any details. So I do not understand how there’s a predetermined disgust in this concept when we haven’t seen how it plays out… if it’s even true. I’m open to it and will let the story tell me what’s going on.
My problems with it are A.) the six previous movies have opened with a spaceship sailing past, and breaking that pattern by showing literally anything else is going to leave a bad taste in my mouth
I can understand that. It comes down to personal preference really. EpII was the first to show a pan-up after the crawl - some didn’t like it and others were fine with it (personally, I didn’t mind it). Or EpI was the first film to not feature a Star Destroyer somewhere in the establishing shot, as the predecessors always had. So I do agree there are times when certain patterns should be kept (the crawl should always be in yellow, not blue, for example), but other times, I don’t think it really matters and it’s okay to mix it up, such as having a non-ship object going by the screen. I’d say whatever serves the story best in the establishing shot and as long as it’s handled well (pun intended).
I’m sure something we can all agree on, though, is the establishing shot must be somewhere in space after the crawl 😉

B.) we see stuff burning up when entering the atmosphere in ROTS, so even if Star Wars does ignore some real-world physical laws, it’s established that it doesn’t ignore that particular one.
Correct, it has shown us that (even in ESB with the Imperial probe), but again, if it’s a mechanical hand or if it’s encapsulated in something that can withstand entering atmosphere, I don’t see a problem with it making it through.
It is a moot discussion as you said, lol. I’m prepared in case it does happen in the film, though 😃

Hard to believe we are actually in December now, with not much longer before TFA is finally released. I am very eager and so ready for it… wearing a different Star Wars shirt each day up to its release as my kind of advent calendar 😃 Anyone here going to be camping out at all?
The poster looks awesome! Cannot wait to see the trailer tomorrow!

Wow! It's a young Bob Falfa! ;)
Seriously though, Lucasfilm should be talking to this guy.
JEDIT: Hard to find an image that won't break!
I really hope they do too. Not that JJ is involved with this Solo stand-alone, but I think I remember reading somewhere that he was impressed with Ingruber; so it sounds like Ingruber is at least for sure known to Lucasfilm.
After listening to this interview with SchmoesKnow https://youtu.be/8Ff3dL1YdS8 he's a really cool guy too I think. In there when he's asked to say something as Harrison Ford, it's awesome how great he is at impromptu, and that is a sign of a great actor! Like other people here, I cannot imagine anyone else as Han Solo but Ford himself (certainly not Chris Pine, even if he's a cool actor too) but this Anthony Ingruber guy, who looks very much like and sounds like Harrison, he is the only one who I can see it working very well with. He gets my full support.
