It doesn’t mention the original 1977 version on the facebook page, just that they are showing the original trilogy. The popup cinemas are usually digital showing blu-ray/dvd versions

STAR WARS REVISITED - A SHEEPISH REVIEW
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN41KJeb7dQ
I see the “fake” Adywan is still active in the comments section. Jesus, that guy needs to get a life
I thought ESB and ROTJ were still the “4.2” six-track?
Maybe someone can chime in and clarify this.
Apocalypse Now was the first movie to be mixed in 5.1 when it was released in August of ‘79, less than a year before Empire’s release. It’s possible they kept mixing Empire and Jedi in the older 4.2 configuration since the 5.1 format hadn’t become the standard yet.
ESB & ROTJ 70mm both had the 6 track dolby stereo mix
Live Streaming Event tonight:
FINAL EVER LARGE DONATION DRIVE FOR MATERIALS NEEDED FOR ROTJ:R & ANH:RHD AND PRIZE DRAW
The final ever large donation drive is now on.
Now that the B-Wing Pilot shoot is well and truly out of the way and the colour grading is complete on ANH & past the halfway stage for ROTJ, I can now get down to work on all the models, miniature sets, costumes, props etc needed for theses edits. Along with creating those, there is also the Endor Rebels shoot that needs things creating for it (costumes, props etc). So it’s full steam ahead now Sadly having to start from scratch for the HD version of ANH is a bit of a pain, but at least not many things need creating for that edit. But it’s a different matter with ROTJ.
Over the next week or so I will be making posts going into detail about some of the changes/ fixes planned for ROTJ:R. One of the things that really need replacing with miniatures is the Millennium Falcon mattes in the Home One hangar (along with the whole hangar matte).
As I will now be working at a scale of at least 1/48, these are going to be a LOT bigger than what I created for ESB:R, but the extra detail is needed when working with more close-up shots.
After being able to sell a few of the items that I put up for grabs recently and with money I can personally put into it, the needed target for the donation drive is just over £4000
So what will the money be used for? Well every penny donated does directly to material only. No one will ever profit from these edits. So , for example, things like catering and the travelling expenses for the B-wing live action shoot, came out of our own pockets and no donations were used. Things I will need to purchase is LOTS of Silicone, resin, paints, glue, MDF and other wood materials, amongst many other things. Doing these donations drive enables me to purchase materials at bulk, instead of being able to only purchase small amounts when I have available funds. This save a Hell of a lot of money on postage costs alone. As I usually purchase the silicone/ resin materials from the same place, this can save hundreds on postage and bulk buying discounts.
Then there is something that is really needed: Drive space. As you can see in the pictured below, space is becoming limited. With my 2 6TB External hard drives used up containing the backup of all the files for ESB:R, I need to get a few more for the backups of ANH:RHD & ROTJ:R as I go along. Then there is the space needed to create these edits. So I need to replace the smaller internal hard drives with newer. Much larger ones. Doing two edits in HD at once really eats up space.
As this is the final large donation drive we will ever be doing , the prize for the donation draw is the biggest one we have given away yet.
One lucky winner will receive one of the full costumes that was created for the B-wing Pilot shoot for ROTJ:R
The costume consists of pilot vest, belt, gloves, a genuine ANH-H-15 pilot cap (modified slightly with softer ear covers and to fit both larger and smaller head sizes) , Flight Suit, chest plate and pilot helmet. The pilot helmet was created for our Blue Two pilot, but sadly we lost Jen due to a scheduling conflict , so this is the only thing that wasn’t used and also has the orange visor that was created as a test to see how the dying process would look. The only things missing from being a full suit are the Gaiters , boots and the rectangular box that goes on the belt. These are things that didn’t need creating as they wouldn’t be seen on screen, so a waste of money.
Because I had to make various sizes of the flight suit for the shoot, the winner will have a choice of sizes: S, M, L, XL & XXL. The vest, belt and ejection straps are all adjustable so will fit most sizes.
There will be 2 runners up prizes . Each will receive one of the B-Wing chest boxes used in the shoot.
For each donation of £10, you will receive a ticket that will go into the final draw. The more tickets, the better the chance. If you donate on more than one occasion, then the total you donate will be added up and divided by ten to give your ticket amount.
So how can you donate?
Well there’s a new way of donating thanks to Paypal’s new Money Pool. If donating with GBP, then Paypal doesn’t take any fees from the amount, unlike going through the donation button as before. So if you can donate using GBP then that would be a great help. But if you can’t then this way they still don’t take a huge amount off for their conversion fees. You can donate through the Money Pool using this link:
https://paypal.me/pools/c/8fZda4Wcai
If you can’t for some reason donate through this link then you can still donate by clicking on one of the Paypal donate buttons on the right hand side of the Revisited Wordpress page here:
https://swrevisited.wordpress.com/
When donating can you please include your name soi I can add you to the end credits for ROTJ:R please.
Once the donation target has been reached, then it will closed. The prize draw will take place shortly after than and winners notified straight after
Thank you to all who have supported me over all these years.
P.S. Don;t worry if the Money Pool page says “Penny Sayce”. The Paypal account is in my wifes name and i took it over but i am unable to alter the account name
For a so called “professional” editor, he makes rookie mistakes with this edit. If you are going to change or remove something you have to make sure it doesn’t impact or contradict anything else in the film. This one makes some huge errors. Ackbar for one. We see him getting blown up and then he magically reappears later. All the TIEs are destroyed yet one magically appears to shoot Finn down and then disappears yet again. He removes Rose saving Finn but then suddenly he’s dragging her back to the base and she’s injured. Well how the F**K did that happen? He removes Leia using the force to save herself, but now she’s magically back in the ship after getting blown out. And where the hell does Holdo go?
How anyone can heap so much praise on this is beyond me. It’s obvious form the start that this guy is using bootleg versions and clips ripped off the internet. If he was using the blu-ray then he would have had the deleted scenes in their correct framerate. As it stands in this edit the deleted scenes and footage taken from the other films (Ackbar) have a different framerate and look a bloody awful, jerky mess. Surely a professional editor would know about framerates and could see how bad using footage that has a different framerate would look on screen without even attempting to alter it? This guy wanted money to produce this yet couldn’t buy a copy of the blu-ray to make sure his edit is the best possible quality? Does this guy have no pride in his work or does this prove that this was nothing more than a money making exercise?
This guy has a serious problem with women. It’s obvious with this edit and it blatantly obvious from looking at his youtube channel.
The voice dubbing is terrible too. Not even an attempt to have the new dubs match in with the original soundtrack. The guy doing Luke sounds like he’s too close to the microphone and speaking quietly so people in the next room can’t hear him. Luke’s character changes so much between the dub and the original. And the new dialogue is BAD. Ackbar sounds nothing like the version he promised in his preview clips. Now he sounds nothing like him.
The audio mix is also bad. When overlaying the new music, why didn’t he just use the centre channel for the dialogue and replace the sound effects to the left/right channels instead of using a stereo track so you can clearly hear the original music mixed in with the new?
This guy broke all the rule of fan editors and put the whole scene in jeopardy. When the people behind Anaxar caused the copyright holders to crack down when it became apparent those guys were directly profiting from crowdfunding, it seriously harmed the Trek fan film community. I just hope this doesn’t do the same for the Star Wars one or fan editing in general.
I did try to explain on some of the comments on the facebook page that something is throwing off my regrade on the comparison shots that have a strong cyan tint in the blu-rays. Whether its something to do with how the site recompresses the video or what it was i don’t know. But the whites had a yellowish tint in places that is NOT on the files i’m working with.
Sail Barge and The Emperor’s Arrival Comparison Video:
This is how the colour grading for ROTJ:R is getting on. This really does show just how bad the grading of the official Blu-Ray for this film is. It goes from having magenta tint/ over saturated reds to a heavy blue/ cyan cast that, in the opening shot of the TIE’s approaching the Death Star, has completely wiped out any of the other colours that should be there. The swicthes to oversaturated blues and a heavy cyan tint that makes the stormtroopers etc no longer their true white colour. Cyan Scoutroopers?
There is Macrovision on the Executor box set. All the special features, minus the 4 “making of” specials were on the Definitive collection laserdisc set. Someone has already captured those and converted them to DVD but i can’t remember who’s set these were on. These would be higher quality than copying from VHS
Hey everyone. Can somebody please help me find the Xvid version of ANH:R? I’ve failed for days to find it and am losing hope…
It’s the only version that correctly has Ponda Baba’s arm severed. I don’t know why Adywan changed that one. If someone could help me I would be so grateful.
It was changed for 2 reasons.
Ponda had hoof/ flipper like hands. You can see this clearly in the Cantina. So none of them hand the furry hands
Ponda doesn’t even go to draw his weapon at the moment Obi-Wan strikes. the ONLY one to draw their weapon was Dr Evazan. So it should be Evazan’s severed arm on the floor
I personally would say that the droid assembly line sequence in AOTC is the worst sequence ever to appear on screen in a Star Wars film. It’s long, bland, inconsequential, and ultimately completely forgettable. Do you agree? What would you say is the worst? The Ewok movies don’t count, the Clone Wars animated movie or TV shows don’t count, the Holiday Special doesn’t count, and Rebels doesn’t count. We’re only counting the live action films: episodes I-VIII and R1.
The worst moment was Rose preventing Finn from sacrificing himself to save the Resistance so she could kiss him and say the most cliched line ever written: “That’s how we’re gonna win: Not by fighting what we hate but by saving what we love.”
It was a play on the famous line by the English writer G.K. Chesterton in 1911
“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”
LordPlagueis said:
The droid assembly line scene was no worse than the trash compactor scene in A New Hope. Both signify the “Belly of the Beast” stage in Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey.
You have to be joking here. The two are nothing alike. The droid scene is riddled with terrible slapstick and comes across in no way threatening. Completely the opposite to the Trash compactor scene.
but the worse scene for me in ANY Star Wars film HAS to be the balcony scene in ROTS.
The flaws are primarily a problem of the two main characters, and begin in TFA:
I would say Finn’s defining trauma is that of being a Stormtrooper realizing in his first battle that he’s not a killer. However, he immediately starts killing his own mates when the story needs him to, and this aspect of his character is never explored again.
I have seen a few people comment exactly the same type of thing, but they have misinterpreted that scene, even when it’s explained later in the film:
[FINN:]
But my first battle, I made a choice. I wasn’t going to kill for them. So I ran.
So it’s NOT that he isn’t a killer, he just refused to kill innocent civilians and that is the moment he sees them for what they are and decides to run. Slaughtering innocent unarmed people and killing during battle are two completely different things.
I see he has removed the video now.
It seems that the bootleggers are able to go into the future now to get their bounty. These were sent to me by someone who saw them in a store:
Amazing how they can sell copies of ROTJ:R long before i have finished it. So i think i have figured out who the culprits are:
Wow. I’ve long thought the officer uniforms in Jedi were green. Neat!
Yeh. The material they used was Feldgrau (Field Grey). Which looks grey in some light conditions, brown in others and even a slight green tint in others. The problem is that ROTJ theatrical prints were screwed up in reproduction for release. Some were very blue and others have a boosted cyan channel. Same happened with ESB. I was told on very good authority that the ONLY version of ESB that ever had the correct grading was the 70mm version that was shown at the London Premier.
Now, thanks mainly to the screwed up SE’s, costuming groups think that the uniforms should be olive green, when they are not.
Someone i know cam across this thread.
Looks like this guy has what could be some items that could be of historical value. It would be great if these could be scanned in before they get lost forever to some collector
oops, double post
How would you people feel if Disney released the OOT in glorious 4K and then Lucas bought back the franchise and made a proper Sequel Trilogy?
There already is a proper sequel trilogy (well, there will be once the final film is released).
The content ID system is automated.
In layman’s terms, all of the original movies are in the system, that then compares them frame by frame to your video.
If it matches, it gets blocked. The mouse doesn’t need to do a thing.I guess he played movie sequences on his stream so the system kicked in.
Well, I don’t think so. I did upload many Star Wars Clips (Star Wars: Remastered and color grading) and they didn’t block any of those. Besides, on YouTube there’s plenty of clips from that movie, uploaded month’s ago.
I have a bad feeling about this…
Youtube have been blocking videos i’ve uploaded for years and facebook has really clamped down recently too. It is to do with the algorithms. It’s a bit hit and miss which ones get flagged
I’d love a copy of this if possible. thanks
The official blu-ray of ROTJ, although people seem to think this one has the better colour grading than the other two in the OT, probably has the most problems. From the heavy magenta tone throughout, to boosted reds in the dark areas, green imperial uniforms in places and, where the others suffered with heavy blue tints and over saturated colours, ROTJ seems to be lacking some of the blue tones in the film. There are also shots where most of the colour is missing in favour of a blue/ magenta shift.
This film seems like it’s going to take the most work to try and fix or improve the colour problems.
Here is a sample that really shows how screwed the colours for ROTJ really are. Green uniforms? Really? The opening shot of the hangar is an example of missing colour. It’s so desaturated but given colour by the overall blue tint. Almost gone are the yellow floor lights.
Then we have Luke’s holographic message in which the blue is completely missing in the official version.
The section in this preview alone took over a month to re-grade the colour.
Another comparison preview, this time featuring Han’s unthawing and the Rancor battle will be uploaded later in the week. Sadly the video was blocked on facebook, youtube and vimeo so the previews will only be available as a download for the foreseeable future

For those unable to download the comparison video, here are some screenshots:
You’re right guys. It works better.
It will propably take a lot of time to make the whole scene, because of the Star Destroyer. I can’t find detailed enough free version so I have to modify that one I already have… which won’t be easy, due to my lack of skills in modelling, huh.
There’s a highly detailed Stardestroyer over at sci-fi3D

Sadly, it’s not the ANH version, but maybe someone could help out modifying it?

That picture looks great for that scene. The BluRay is cast in a deep blue. It looks like you’ve cut it in such a way to favor BluRay-sourced footage, but it shouldn’t be noticeable unless someone has the original scene committed to memory.
Actually i hardly used Blu-Ray sourced footage for this scene. The shots below are the only ones i used from the blu-ray. The rest is all 4k83 sourced
FIRST PROPER CLIP FROM ROTJ:R.
Here is the first clip that has some FX work added and some editing tweaks. Although the torture of the droid at the beginning is likely to be removed in the final version, everything is pretty much as it will appear in ROTJ:R. Tweaks done to Jabba’s & Sy’s mouth, a blink now and then on the creatures ( only one is complete so far in this), re-edited the original, integrating some of the SE shots, and organising shots to sync up better with Sy’s vocals. Using the great 4k83 restorations as a basis for this, along with the blu-ray, some colour grading (which is still in progress) and some more scratch/ speckle clean up work to be done. Some FX work needs to be done on a couple of shots where i need to fix the background ( mainly the side shot of Oola from the SE’s where they shot her against a blue-screen but added a character in the background that isn’t there in the shots before or after)Sound is, as usual, a very rough temp track as the sound side of things won’t start until the visual side of the film is completed.

Say goodbye to the cockpit set 😦
Be honest Ady, when no one else was around, did you play around in the cockpit?
oh we all had a play in the cockpit when filming was done 😉
