In one of the trailers there is a sneak peak at Davros...if you look closely

He's in there at about 57 secs....on the below linky

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7H2FXCNTPc

Personally, the Daleks are pretty dull. I don't get how they still turn up. Whenever they do, they claim to be the last of the Daleks or whatever, but they always come back. Maybe I missed something!!
And that Human Dalek thing last year was one of the poorer moments of what was a pretty good season.



It's not davros, it's a Sontaran. They appear in episode 4, The Sontaran Stratagem. Fan's of the older series will remember them.
There haven't been any pics leaked of Davros yet, and they are still denying that he is going to be in the new series, but the daleks do return in the series finales so it's looking more likely that he may return.

To doubleofive: Nice work on the splitscreen comparison galleries. I picked up on a lot of stuff I didn't even realize was changed. Damn, Ady. Just, damn... :)

To Adywan: The purist version sounds cool. I'm especially curious to see how the Vader duel plays out sans music.

Since your TIE approach is being nixed, I'm assuming the classic shot from the DVD will be used in its stead, or something different?


No, it's still the same approach but shortened to match the timing of the original shot & the original cue has been re-added.

It's going up in a.b.starwars now. should take about 12 hours to complete

But the Purist version thing was posted TODAY. His big April Fools Joke was on the Empire thread where he said he wasn't going to do Empire. I think this one is real.

Time stamp says yesterday, forty-seven minutes prior to midnight.

it all depends on what timezone you have OT.com set to. My timezone is GMT and the announcement about the Purist edition was actually posted on April 2, 2008 at 7:13 AM. Nothing has been posted in a.b.starwars yet because i did say later tonight and its still only 10.30 here. I'm just rendering the DVD now so it should start to show on a.b.starwars in the next hour or so, so this one isn't an April fools.

Well i have decided to take a break from the DVD-9's at the moment. Getting a bit burn out doing the special features and painting the cover is taking a lot longer than i first thought. I just didn't like my first design so i have started from scratch.

Anyway i have decided to do a NTSC DVD-5 only "Purist" edition of Revisited. There will be a few differences to the original version:

Obi-Wan's hut scene is returned to the original edit
No Darth Vader's theme in the movie
No music during the conference scene
No music during the lightsaber duel, original music cue restored.
No extended Tie fighter Approach during the Death Star battle, the pacing will be returned to its original state.

There will be no menus or subtitles on the DVD or any extras.

I noticed a continuity error between images 141 and 142 in part 1 of the visual comparison. You forgot to recolour the green display! XD Mistakes are impossible when you look at ady's works. Anyways, good luck with the DVD9 and good luck 005 working with TESB.

Not sure what you mean because the display is coloured green in both shots.

New Vader

And today's date is.......................


Dang it HotRod, I would have really freaked out too.

Of course, if he is serious, if he'll give me his copy of Premiere, I'll take over.

;-)


I don't use premier, i use After effects & Sony Vegas. Luckily it's only really the Emperor that has had some work done to it so there wouldn't be much to pass on apart from all my notes about what i was going to change/ fix. Whoever takes over then i would want them to stick to my original vision so i would probably still stay onboard but only as a consultant.

The whole 'Solo and his jacket' thing in Empire really pissed me off. It's not a bloody jacket. It's just shadows. I don't care if it's been 'fixed' in the DVD, it wasn't wrong in the first place.
There's even behind the scenes footage showing Ford getting ready for his shot. No jacket there....just a load of fanboy moaning for the sake of moaning bullshit.

Ok...rant over!!!:)


Yeh, i know what you mean. It's clearly his shirt in the Behind the scenes footage and once they setup the lighting the shirt turns dark and is clearly not his jacket.

but what really baffles me is why lucasfilm decided to fix that for the DVD but didn't do some of the more glaring errors?

Hey Ady, I'm pretty much done with all the screens I could get. I think I got everything but the Falcon vs TIEs and the entire Death Star Battle. If you could fill in those blanks when you can, we'll have a pretty comprehensive comparison.


There's actually quite a few more than i first thought. i missed a load when doing the trivia track. its only when i was doing the split screen captures that i noticed a load. I'm up to Ben's death at the moment and i have 149 changes

I would personally prefer the old Boba Fett voice, mainly for two reasons:

1. the line delivary was better

2. the voice was more intimidating, fitting a feared bounty hunter

It's really easy to explain too: a voice modulator built into the helmet to make himself more frightening, to build on his reputation and such.

Remember when Leia was disguised as a bounty hunter in Return of the Jedi? To say that her voice then was very different from her own nautural voice is an understatement.


My whole reasoning for returning to the original voice. thank you.

With some saying that it should remain as it does in the 2004 DVD version because it ties into the PT much better then you seem to forget that i will be doing the PT too and the voice will be changed in that to resemble the original ESB Wingreen voice. ANH is was the only film in the OT Revisited saga that i changed anything to tie in with the PT (and that was only really visuals). The other two will not be as i would prefer to alter things in the PT to match the OT now.

Part 1 of my Star Wars Revisited Visual Comparison is up. This goes from the Opening Logos to Obi-Wan's Hut.

I did the best I could to match frame for frame. It takes a while when your only tool is an old version of PowerDVD, with Photoshop to put them together.

Ady, let me know if I missed a shot you want to highlight, or if my descriptions could be more descriptive.

Also, if anyone wants to host the photos off of Flikr and make them look more professional, let me know and I'll send you the files.


I should be able to help out if you give me a couple of days. I can quite easily do split screen snaphots in my video editing program so it would take a lot less time. I'll send them to you, with descriptions, once they're done. Nice idea by the way. well done.

Nice covers too. just had a look at ANH. I wonder if anyone has a higher res scan of the outer logo part that is from the action figure cards. i think that would really benefit the covers because the scan you have looks a bit blurry. apart from that they look great

I apologize for continuing the ROTJ discussion but it seems Lando, in all early versions, survives according to SW.com and IMDb.com

http://www.starwars.com/episode-iv/bts/article/f20000530/index.html

http://imdb.com/title/tt0086190/faq#.2.1.1

I dont mean too sound to harsh and its totally your decision but I doubt Id watch an ending with Lando not making it... Its just one of the most exciting scenes when he flies out of the Death Star in such a dramatic fashion


Well that's another example of star wars history being re-written (& don't believe a word imdb says cuz they get loads of things wrong). This was spoke about long before the days of the internet and fake scripts. There was an interview with GL somewhere where he states that Lando was going to die but that the scene was never filmed.. One hint of this direction is when Han looks at the Falcon and says that he has a feeling like he's never going to see her again. Pretty redundant line if that was never the intention. ROTJ needed a dramatic ending, even Ford knew that, and having Lando die while saving the galaxy was totally fitting. I always felt that the death star explosion build up was so pale compared to ANH. GL even used the same build up in PTM: ship flies in, shoots core, flies out as its blowing up, lets out a yahoo then it blows up. ROTJ needs a good kick in the arse because it is the weakest of the OT and a very poor ending to the saga. I wonder if this is going to turn into "the great flipper debate part 2"? . lol.

The thing is, this may not even happen. I have a few ideas of how to do it but when it comes to actually doing it then it might not even be possible.


Back to ESB i will be doing something to sync up the falcon and lukes turn in that scene.

OT.com, I hardly know thee any more.... ;)


I know exactly what you mean. lol

Jedi won't be having any extra force ghosts appear nor will they morph into their younger selves. The ending will be different in some ways, this i have already planned. Gone will be the "new age" music at the end and i will be replacing it with a more fitting orchestral piece (i just have to find the right piece of music for that). Also, as i have mentioned before, a main character will die, returning the story to what what originally planned. One thing i want to do is somehow turn Jedi away from being just a rehash of ANH, which is exactly what it is now. I'm not sure how i'm going to accomplish this yet though. A few more things already planned is that we will finally see some rebel fighters smash into the Death Stars shields. And the Superstardestroyer will no longer crash into the Death Star, but will in fact take out some other stardestroyers (hopefully if i can pull it off). "weesa free" will also be gone. Apart from these changes nothing else has been planned out yet and i'm not going to even think about ROTJ until ESB is finished, so can we return this thread back to the original topic which is ESB. No more Jedi suggestions please.

There is no need to put Qui-Gon at the end of Jedi. Luke wouldn't know who the hell he was. Just having the 3 force ghosts that were part of Luke's life is perfect as it is(pre 2004). Adding Qui-Gon, IMHO, is as bad as adding Hayden to the end of ROTJ (one thing that is definite to return to its pre 2004 state in my edit)
