Any deleted scenes you want to use for fan edit but the quality was lacking, may not be off the table-

I really hope that the deleted scene with Vader telepathically reaching out to Luke in the cave at the start of the film could be restored and reinserted into ROTJ:Revisited. It’s a scene that should never have been cut.

I think that scene recontextualises the whole movie for the better, it adds some depth and gravitas (which the film could do with to be honest), it rightfully places the Father/Son relationship front and centre, and makes the final act even more epic and impactful.

It’s certainly better condition footage than the deleted scene linked above with Luke using his binoculars, that one was far rougher. It would be quite a coup if the Vader and Luke scene could be sufficiently restored to add back in to Revisited, and for me it would be the single biggest improvement that could be made to ROTJ.

Sorry, but it’s not being included. In fact, Adywan retimed the shot with the wipe transition to R2 and 3PO so that there is no more of that slowdown that was added to make up for the removal of the scene.

He logs in daily, you can see on his page

Yeah, Ady is a “Talk less, work more” type of guy. Let him do his thing; he surely won’t disappoint.

I know, patience is a virtue.

Hopefully Adywan is okay, haven’t heard from him in months at this point.

I hope he’s okay too.

Wait, I thought the $1000 was supposed to be matched to $2000.

PM sent.

Also, do we have an updated Donation Drive total?

I may be able to help again if we are close to getting across the finish line.

Even with the $1000 challenge Adywan is not going to reach his end goal. The B-Wing pilots shoot looked fantastic. If you want to see that X-Wing pilot shoot completed, donate if you can afford it.

I’m just curious, but what would new footage of B-Wing and X-Wing pilots during the Battle of Endor even add to the story? What would their lines of dialogue even be?

Just donated the UK equivalent of $50.

Almost there…

No May the 4th update?

I cannot teach him. The boy has no patience.

He turn to the dark side…😵‍💫

Sorry. I have to be more responsible with what I say on here.

Okay, fine.

No May the 4th update?

I donated another $25.

I just sold my sixth kidney. Hopefully that will do it.

What does that mean?

I just donated another $50.

There is a subtle change made to R2 in this shot in the 2019 transfer, in case you didn’t know. Will you be using it for ANH:R HD? I know it’s not much of a change, but it’s still a change.

Probably a “fix” more than a “change”, I’m sure Ady would have done the same himself.

I have logged it for examination for VisComps.

If Adywan was to fix a few more things in TESB:R, would he do what was done in the 2019 transfer, and fill in the dark spaces in the upper right corners of the shots of Luke’s X-Wing sinking?

I don’t see that missing thing in R2.

It’s on the bottom left side.

I’ve just checked the total raised so far and we are so close to hitting the target, with just over £160 left to raise. You guys are amazing. Thank you all for donating.

That makes it around $215 USD.

Wow! How much does that leave us with?

One last time, see if I got this straight. Is the idea that if enough people work together to donate $1,000, it will actually be a $2,000 donation?

I donated $25.

That guy with no name said:
You should’ve apologised instead of deflecting. Either way we should change the subject.

I’m sorry. Really, I am. I promise I won’t say such things again. In fact, I’ll do my part and donate right now.

I’m sorry. I’m not accusing anyone of being anything. Let’s move on, okay? Truce?

Wait, I’m confused. Isn’t the whole point of this drive so that Adywan can get enough money from other people for supplies? Why would he use his own money to double the donation of others when he’ll already be using his own money later? Why not keep it and use it on top of all the donation money?

I’m not Adywan. Donations have stalled. I am willing to donate $1,000 to Adywan if others pitch in now and reach that limit.

I really wish I could donate, but I was warned by my family and friends about donating to things like this, because they think I’m being scammed.

You realize if everyone that followed Adywan on facebook donated 5 cents he would more than reach his goal.

So, he’s using his own money to donate to something he’ll automatically get the money back for?
