The Star Wars Purist

This sounds like the kind of edit I’d do.

Replace the entirety of the storylines with the Thrawn trilogy novels from the '90s.

Could I get the Revisited 2000 VHS covers with the US/CAN ratings?

Cool

My grandparents have a 1991 TV recording of ROTJ the 2000 SE tapes, and the GOUT release of Empire.
I have the 2001 TPM, 2002 AOTC, 2005 ROTS, thin-case GOUT trilogy, 1997 SE tapes, the 2015 steelbooks for the OT, TFA Blu-Ray/DVD combo with Walmart slip, standard DVD releases of TLJ, Solo and TROS, and the Blu-Ray/DVD combo of Rouge One, so if we’re only counting the dupes, I have bought/received the OT 4 times. (the 2000 tapes have been passed on to me because my grandma doesn’t need them anymore thanks to cable TV)

For me, I either call it Empire Strikes Back (normal), Empire (conversational), or Episode V (conversational, special edition).

At this point, Star Wars and A New Hope are two separate entities.

I have confidence that they will add Jar Jar into the trilogy.

ROTJ - entrance into mos eisley there are 2 droids fighting. It’s a little slap stickish, but don’t mind.

ROTJ - end celebration, but with older Anakin as a force being (whatever), not the kid from ep1

Wasn’t that first one ANH?

ANH - recomped speeder
ESB - new wampa shots
ROTJ - removed Vader eyebrows

Or I could let the bluish tinge slide, I guess.

What’s with the distortion and white specks though? It had other kinds of visual artefacts.

I am not sure.

It could be a bootleg with a scan of a less-than-stellar tape or print.

If all else fails, there is a t-shirt with the 3 lightsabers from the VHS sleeves, you could try to scan that in.

Reminds me of those hardcover concept art books for the OT, I like that.

Ever since I bought the soundtrack, (on used vinyl for $5 on Star Wars Day!) I’ve always been fond of the poster that came with it. I’m surprised there aren’t more fanboxes that use this art.

I had a jacket with this on it.

Nice work!

The 4K release of Last Action Hero.

<span style=“font-size: xx-small; line-height: normal;”>So, I watched your KOTCS edit and for the most part, you fixed a film that was severely broken and turned it into a generally exciting Jones adventure.  With your edits, the film is now my #3 Jones film (ToD just sucked, and I don’t know if it can be fixed).</span>

<span style=“font-size: xx-small; line-height: normal;”>I had some easily fixable gripes at the end part with the natives that I PM’d you about, and a little bit of rearrangement, but those things aside, you took a shit film and made it watchable, so good on you.  If you could at a minimum, fix the end bits as I noted, you could very well have a great addition to the series.</span>

I liked Temple of Doom…

New effects in Temple of Doom and make it clear that it takes place before Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Some touch-up work on all 4 movies would be nice too.

Seems interesting.

This sounds cool.

ROTJ’s my personal favorite movie of all time, it’ll be exciting to see the movie with the Revisited treatment.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s possible to replace files on a mass-produced DVD, sorry.

You can only go so far when you’re using Blender self taught.

I’m not the most experienced CG artist, so I may wind up needing some help on the redone monsters department. I am good with beams, new mattes, new sound mixes and new color grades.

So, you know Adywan’s Star Wars Revisited edits?

Think those, but instead of doing 3 Star Wars movies, it’s 5 Godzilla movies.

I haven’t started work yet (my laptop got fried during my last render due to a drink spill), so don’t expect any clips for a while.

I’ve got a tentative change list for each of the movies I’m doing, some movies will have more extensive changes, while others will have minor touch-ups. Each movie will get a new sound mix and a fitting new color grade.

Change List:

Godzilla Raids Again:
Godzilla reverted to 1954 design
Anguirus redesign, incorporating elements of original design and Final Wars design.
All monster fights redone to omit undercranked effect and evoke more visceral feeling.
New Osaka castle crumbling scene
New planes

Mothra vs. Godzilla
Mothra larva eyes recolored blue
Frontier missile scene restored (present in US version called Godzilla vs. The Thing)
Minor touchup work

Godzilla vs. Monster Zero
New space mattes
New rocket design
Rodan reverted to 1956 design
All beams redone

Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster
New score
All Kong-like Godzilla scenes removed
Volleyball scene removed
Monster fights redone to where Mothra actually participates in final battle
New Ebirah roars

Destroy All Monsters
Story cleanup
Baragon actually does attack Paris
Manda attacking London addad
Minilla either removed or reduced
New “Fire Dragon” design
minor touchup

UPDATE 5/17/22: I’m going to have to put this project on a temporary pause, as I need to build up my VFX skills for something like this. I should be restarting this project later this year at the earliest.
