IIRC, Adywan has already taken care of this.
I haven’t had time to go through every comment yet, but here are a few things that WON’T be happening in ROTJ:R -
Extra Boba Fett / Boba Surviving - Boba is going to die ( someone already guessed the one way i’m planning on killing him 😉 )
Unless I missed a guess, that narrows the guesses down to one.
And if that’s true, then that’s an ambitious change and I can’t wait to see it in action 😃I think you’ve already seen it. Like father, like son. : (
I hope I’m wrong.
I’m also hoping that this is this films version of “There won’t be any AT-STs in ESB:R” ; )I could be wrong, but a part of me hopes he’s referring to my idea! I feel such would be an interesting and worthy demise! Just very ambitious.
That would be MORE Boba Fett, silly!

Fett will be super-duper dead.
I think we have to remember the spirit of these edits. It is my impression these are meant to be “What the Special Editions should have been”.
To be fair, I came up with that tagline, and Adywan has said RotJR has more structural changes than the last two edits. Just not as drastic as some seem to crave.
The canon firmly establishes that ROTJ takes place one year after the events of TESB.
How?
Every bit of official information around says that in the Star Wars universe, TESB takes place 3 ABY (3 years after the Battle of Yavin), and ROTJ takes place 4 ABY.
Where does it say that in the films? And what is ABY, in which scene they mention such acronym? To me it always seemed pretty vague how much time had passed between each movie.
“After Battle of Yavin” is the acronym, but you’re right, they don’t say it in the movie so it doesn’t matter for this edit.
You know what doesn’t matter? How long it was between movies. It’s not like there’s dialog that needs to be changed to “fix” this. How would one even establish how long it was unless one changed the opening crawl to be “It’s been a week since HAN SOLO was captured. LUKE SKYWALKER has thrown together a bad plan that doesn’t make any sense, hoping it will work so Han can lead a team to help destroy the second DEATH STAR, which is also a thing.”
Thank god Boba is gonna die. Also great to hear that Lando is gonna die.
Thank you so much Ady.
Also this thread is 3 years old.

So Panaka is Typho’s uncle? Well, well, well.
Everyone is related!
I’m all for cutting the Force Choke.
In the wake of Force Awakens, we’re still arguing that a Jedi needs extensive training? 😉
This crawl is well-written, but it begs the question of him leaving then going back and being surprised that Yoda is dying if he had JUST seen him a week before.
Has anyone else been watching Ken Burns Vietnam? If so, what do you think of it?
I haven’t yet, but I’m interested. What do you think so far?
Luke can pick up things with the Force without having been trained in ESB. He has the ability to progress without Yoda. For all we know, Yoda was just trying to keep Luke safe and hidden on Dagobah and the training was never really going to end. Once he shows up, Yoda reveals the truth, that he can’t teach him anything else.
If Luke already waited 6-12 months to go back to Yoda, what difference would it make if he went back one week or the next? And doesn’t it make just as much sense for him to have resolved the mission he set himself on before returning to Yoda? “I totally failed to save my friends, and still haven’t saved them, so I’m sure you’re really disappointed in me. Oh, you’re dead.”
I’m pretty sure we get the idea that he has experience flying through canyons and blasting small(?!) targets from dialog without having to see him go through the same motions earlier in the film, especially since The Force is guiding his shot and proving his bravado.
I only have one suggestion for this, but I think it improves the film greatly:
Start the film with Luke on Dagobah
It just makes so much more senseDo you have friends?
How long would you let them hangin on a wall? Weeks? Month? If they survive that long at all.Luke does not need training to face Jabba. He wasn’t ready for Vader, but he was already very good. All he needs is to recover, and come up with a plan.
BTW ain’t all rebel plans seem completely stupid?
In Rogue One, they fly into an Imperial installation with zero planning, and as a result they die. Then a whole fleet follows with zero planning, and most of them die.
In TNH they attack the Death Star with 30 fighters (lol) trying to hit a small hole.
4 ships survive. One of them is not a rebel ship.
In ESB they fight AT-ATs with snowspeeders, that have no chance to even scratch them with their lasers. If not for Luke, Rogue Squadron dies, and every single Imperial soldier goes home without a scratch.
And in ROTJ the whole Alliance is walking into a trap.
Safe to say, they are really not that good at planning.Fair point. I guess my thinking is that it resolves the coincidence that Yoda does right when he shows up.
Blah blah blah, the Force. It’s the answer for everything. 😉
With Indy 5 hitting theaters in July of 2020, I wonder how Paramount will handle the rollout of the first four on UHD. The 2012 blu-ray transfers of Temple and Crusade used the 2008 masters (which showed up as the WoWoW broadcasts around that time), but those were only finished at 2k unless I’m mistaken. Maybe they’ll redo those scans to take advantage of the extra resolution. Raiders was redone yet again with a 6k scan and 4k finish. Crystal Skull was finished at 2k (at least according to imdb), which is too bad but it makes sense considering all the cgi, none of which would’ve been rendered above that resolution.
Most(?) movies are finished at 2k, so this isn’t unprecedented. The real benefit of UHD is the expanded color profile.
At this point, would mentioning the DS plans again be obsessive?
Well, it was only on the top of this page that you brought it up last, so I’d say YES.
Well he attempted to make it scarier with the added glow; just thought there might be an alternative way in doing so.
I liked your suggestion of the needle slowly extending out as the probe droid comes towards us…but having been lucky enough to get a preview pic a while back, I can confirm that adywan’s latest (still under wraps) version is FANTASTIC and a really satisfying improvement.
VERY interesting.
I think he’s said he wanted to do something different with the torture droid needle at some point too, but yeah, I’m pretty sure everything is pretty set in stone for ANH:R:HD by now.
That too, yeah.
I’m almost certain adywan previously said that he would not be accepting suggestions for this update of ANH:R.
Absolutely. So far it’s going to be the same edits, except for the original DS plans and maybe no prequel music.
I believe deleted scenes are off the table as they’re not high enough quality, but please, technical errors would be great.
No one answered me what they thought of the Blu-Ray effects of Han unfreezing.
I think they look like shit.
Feel better?
No.
ALLOL
What’s the new effect look like? I didn’t know they changed it.
The worst thing about SWGOH is it causes me to use prequel characters like Darth Sidious.
Who has two lightsabers? Very odd.
He uses two in The Clone Wars, for what it’s worth.
It’s probably to “explain” where he got another one in ROTS after he lost his in the Windu duel. “He had two all along, see?!” 😒
I forgot this.
Beats me, I’m guessing on things based on comments on FB.
