STAR WARS: EP IV 2004 <strong>REVISITED</strong> ADYWAN *<em>1080p HD VERSION NOW IN PRODUCTION</em>
Time
Just wanted to chime in and say how much I enjoyed this.

I absolutely hated the Special Edition, and if anyone had told me that the problem was that GL hadn't changed enough, I would have thought they were crazy. But the Revisited version is an absolute revelation.

It was great fun to anticipate all the changes that might be made, and then be surprised by the ones that come out of nowhere (of course it would be the other guy's arm getting chopped off in the cantina! Wow, the MF is actually shooting back at the TIE fighters!) I even got a kick out of the changes to the end credits.

The only thing that didn't really work for me was the added music to the first death star conference, and the added music the the lightsaber duel. Music can just be so scene specific that it just didn't fit in for me.

(Not to mention the pacing of the duel is a little slower than Episode III; it almost feels like that Seinfeld episode where George is racing away on an old-people scooter, with some senior citizens in slow pursuit on their scooters, and they play cheesy action music as if it were a high speed chase.)

But this is a truly amazing effort, and I hope it becomes widely known.
