I have definitely seen a shot of Dooku turning away from the funeral. (it used the shot of him leaving the arena battle on Geonosis) However I don’t have a link for you.
You could try searching the prequel radical redux thread, I think it was there that I saw it, but that was years ago.

Thanks for the hint!
I found a trailer by TheAlaskanSandman. You mean this?

Any footage of TPM Dooku in action? Especially the conversation with the queen.

I want to reask the question two years later.
Especially the scene with Dooku at the funeral is nice.

Is there a video version existing? I tried with the picture and its ok, but its a bit to static.

Hello 😃 this project sounds really impressive.
I am interested in a link to this edit too.

I think there are a few movies which you can use some footage. The most popular is “The Other Boleyn Girl” and the scene where Natalie Portman is carry the baby. Used for Episode 3.

Maybe we can start a new thread and try to collect footage from other movies which can be used in Star Wars.

I dont know if this is a “worst” idea, I like it but it doesnt really fit.
Padme is spying/watching during Anakins first session with the Jedi Council.
I created a small clip:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLUvLNm2DG8

Used a short sequence of “Where the Heart is” (2000)

alternative this clip could be add for the second visit, in this Naboo is also topic during the Jedi discussion.

I agree that the sentence from Mace Windu is helpful for introducing the scene. But for me the problem with putting the training after Palpatines Office is:

1. Does Anakin know in this scene that he will meet Padmé again? It seems not.
2. The transition to the next scene (meet Padme) is too fast for me. From no-mercy-Anakin to “I-am-so-nervos-Annie” without a break or another scene between.

For me its ok to break with some strict Star Wars orders… every film is doing this from a certain point of view.
In another way the Anakin&Kenobi-Training is a nice forecast for Palptine & Mace dialog.

It also seems strange that Anakin would sense Padme’s distress and not even comment on it.

Show, don’t tell 😃 Maybe he is not sure what he is sensing, but he feel something.

In my cut (not published) I placed the new training shot directly after the assassination on Padme. At the beginning Anakin is looking to the skyline of Coruscant and in this order it seems like he is feeling the attack on Padme.

1. Coruscant opening & assaination
2. Obi-Wan & Anakin training (trimmed)
3. Deleted Scene in the Senate (with opening of the senate building)
4. Palpatines office (without opening of the building)

For me the Obi-Wan & Anakin training don’t need a Jedi temple shot at the beginning because it has a long zoom out with Anakin and the Skyline.

Hello all, as far as I know some fan editors still working with (Sony) Vegas. Like me 😃
I am very copy with the problem, using it since over ten years and I think I know many features.

Maybe we can exchange some experiences of the usage?

For example I have a question about the rendering settings. I am nearly happy with my settings, but in some very fast scenes (for example many blaster impact in a Star Wars movie) I sill see some pixel. What render settings are you using for your fan cuts?

My settings:

Sony AVC/MVC (mp4, m2ts, avc)

Video:
Video format: AVC
Frame size: Custom - 1920 * 816
Profile: High
Entropy coding: CABAC
Frame rate: 23,976
Field order: None
Pixel aspect ratio: 1,000
Bit rate: 16.000.000

Audio:
Audio Format: AAC
Sample rate: 48.000
Bit rate: 320.000
Audio coding mode: Stere (I started in early past with Stereo and still need to adapt to 5.1)

Project:
Video rendering quality: Use Project Settings
Stereoscopic 3D mode: use Project Settings
Color Space: Default

What are you using as rendering settings/format and are you completely happy with your result?

The screens looks amazing!
Could I also please get a link?

Has the possibility of using Sebastian Shaw + ROTS wardrobe been discussed? Him looking like Anakin in his youth confused me a bit, and him wearing Obi-Wan’s robes confused me even more.

Just food for thought.

Absolutely brilliant! The person/face Sebastian Shaw is needed, but with his old clothes there is no connection to the Skywalker from Episode 2 and 3 … and with these modification the deliverance of Anakin Skywalker would be perfect.

and have a look at Lukes small wink to the Jedi ghosts in the theatrical version of the movie (was removed in SE)

Ich wäre auch gern an dem Link interessiert 😃

I love this deleted scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT-ZsR2P8dU

In contrast to ANH and TESB the deleted scenes from ROTJ has many potential to be reediting into the movie. I agree with you. Especially:

• Luke building this light saber
• Bunker rush (nice action, see the link)
• Emperor is commanding to destory the moon (more dramatic, more evil)

The difficult is to restore these blu ray material that it is matching to the rest of the movies (color, sound, scratches, effects). I think this is a lot of work. But when Adywan can handle this, this would be an amazin change.

I hope Adywan will try 😃

I have three other “wishes” for ROTJ:HD

• in Jabbas palace Lando is showing his face (too long) in the camera Thats absolutely useless and senseless.
• At the end, when Luke looks to the Jedi ghosts, in the original version he did a small wink with his eyes. Thats very individual, I like this … but its missing in the SE.
• I like Sebastian Shaw as Anakin, but it would be great if he wear the clothes from the PT Anakin

Just as summary for ROTJ. Someone will like it, some other will don’t. These are my ideas for ROTJ, maybe Adywan like or feel inspirated:

• In Jabbas palast where we see the first time Landos face behind the mask: This scene is too long. Only a short view on the face is enough. Its senseless to enter undercover the palast and show the face for many seconds.-

• The emperor said that Lukes saber looks like Anakins … but it looks like Obi-Wans.

• Vader to Luke: Obi-Wan thought as you … Padme thought as Luke

• At the end, when Luke looks to the Jedi ghosts, in the original version he did a small wink with his eyes. Thats very individual, I like this … but its missing in the SE.

• The Jedi ghosts … I don’t like Hayden Christensen as Anakin in ROTJ too. But please give Sebastian Shaw the clothes from the Hayden Christensen Anakin from ATOC/ROTS.

Deleted scences:
I agree that the deleted scenes for ANH and TESB didn’t match into the final movie. But I ROTJ its a little different

• Luke building his lightsaber: this scence have some kind of magic. Its hard to describe.

• The death star want to destory the moon of Endor. These scenes give the final attack on the deathstar more dramatic and show one more dark side of the emperor

• The bunker rush is cool action but not specially needed.

• Same to the scence where Vader want to go to the emperor.

Dear Adywan,

I just saw your Revisited edition of The Empire Strikes Back. And I want to give you and your crew a big thank you!
I had the feeling, that I watched a 37 years old movie for the first time!

Your additions are so beautiful, especially Bespin and Hoth and you added so much details - but still kept the original feeling. That’s brilliant!

Thank you 😃

I am so exciting to see the revisited edition of empire strikes back. Waiting for so many years 😃

Auch an dieser Stelle vielen Dank für deine Arbeit, Laserschwert 😃 Die Trilogie ist komplett … endlich in der Urfassung auch in deutsch. 😃

Special thanks to harmy again 😃

Wow, klasse Arbeit Laserschwert,vielen Dank dafür 😃
Also a big thank you to harmy! 😃

hello :)

Star Wars Revisited in other languages (especially german) are still not available yet?

I found this Teaser about a german version:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9bxUoCBN5w

But its very old and I found no other infos about it ....

Wuhu, now I found this thread and I'm very happy to hear, that your work is done :)

I'm very excited about your result... :) The screens looks awesome

Any news about this cool project?

@TK-949: Hi :)

When you are planning to release your Krieg der Sterne movie? :)

I'm very excited

Hallo von mir - ebenfalls aus Deutschland aber mein Post halte ich in Englisch :)

I'm happy to read that your project is nearly finished. I watched it over months and I'm very excited to see your result :)

Is your donation for ESB:R already done?

I saw your facebook page and was impressed about your hard work with models, green screens and more ... so I decided to donate some money for the project.

I think the most important part is the original trilogy :)

Last time I saw ROTJ and got some ideas for a Revisited Edition:

- "Lando Calrissian and the poor Chewbacca never...." why 3PO said that Chewie never came back from Jabbas Palace? At this point Chewie shouldn't be inside the palace. But maybe i didn't get it right.

- At Jabbas home Lando showed his full face for some seconds ... this is not nessearcy and senseless. We all see recognize Lando without this ... and it's dangerous for him to show the full face in Jabbas palace. The half should be enough.

- Luke vs. the Bounty Hunters at the Sarlacc we see some good Jedi Action. Maybe some lightsaber marks would be improve the action?

- I don't know if it possible but some deleted scenes are really cool ....
1. Luke built his lightsaber ... we all know that R2 carry the weapon. Its cool to see a Jedi built his lightsaber ... and the communication between Vader and Luke give the movie a early focus on the force
2. The bunker rush give the fight on Endor more focus on the rebels, less the Ewoks
3. The plans to destory the moon of endor with the Death Star give the final more dramatic

- in the original trilogy Luke winkes ( ;) ) to the Jedi Ghosts ... this small shot is lost in the SE.

- Bring Sebastian Shawn back at ghost of Anakin Skywalker ... but give him the prequel clothes! He looks very strange ...

My ideas for ROTJ:R .... :)

Thank you for the infos about the german project :)

And your plans for v2.0 sounds great :) Do you have a schedule for this?
