STAR WARS: EP IV 2004 <strong>REVISITED</strong> ADYWAN *<em>1080p HD VERSION NOW IN PRODUCTION</em>

Ladies and Gents, we are forgetting something here:

There is a completely different thread for all of this ANH:R stuff!  The past 20 PAGES have been about ANH:R!  While I feel the same way and love the edit, there is a different place to:

(1) spread the love

(2) ask for download links, references, clues, etc

(3) discuss any problems with edit, downloading said edit, etc.

This is supposed to be strickly regarding the EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: REVISITED edit and suggestions as to how to do that edit if Ady wants to consider them (by strickly I mean how a football stadium is strickly for football: still plenty of room to move around in, but still all about football or some other sporting activity other than racing cars).

Again, I know I'm being an ass here, but the bigger this thread gets with things unrelated to what it is supposed to be, the harder it is going to be for Ady to sift through the posts and check them out.  Save the JEDI:REVISITED stuff for that thread when it's posted AFTER EMPIRE:REVISITED is finished and available for download. 

And Vaderios!  Where've you been!  We miss you!

 

Quoting this before Monroville realizes what thread he posted this in.  The past 270 pages have been about ANHR for the simple reason that this is the ANHR thread.

 

Hehe...

Sorry for the delay! You'll have to forgive these old jpegs and the image size...I actually made these a long time ago...

Ok, and this was another image I had made with a little description below...I still think the idea is worth considering...  :)

 

Poor Frank.  Now that his head has been exposed, it must be eliminated!

I never liked that Luke manages to cut off the ice around his feet and not cut his feet off!  How does that work?

Well, I've been away for quite awhile, and I see it's cost me dearly... 248 pages to wade through???  Frak me.

Ady, sorry to rehash this (I looked back a few pages and couldn't see where the debate began)... but which scene in ESB has the spinning starfield?  Is it at the end when the Falcon finally jumps into hyperspace?

For what my 2 cents are worth, I'm not sure what the inconsistency/problem is with the spinning starfield.  I always assumed the ships in SW spun when they entered hyperspace... that's why, when seeing a jump from a ship's point of view, the stars spin, and why when a ship's in hyperspace (e.g., ROTJ, ANH:R) we see that wormhole effect (caused, I thought, by the stars spinning by).

But... that being said, who's really going to miss it (aside from Jeyl, of course)?  If I read the posts correctly, you apparently removed a spin effect from ANH already?  If so, I didn't even notice, so... there ya go :)

 

The spin is only when the Falcon jumps away from the Star Destroyers over Tatooine and the Executor over Bespin.  Adywan points out that when Tydirium goes to light speed in RotJ it goes straight out and the fleet does not spin around it.  The spinning starfield is for dramatic effect in those two shots by Lucas' own admission.

Ady, I don't believe I've this has been mentioned yet:

In the introduction of Yoda scene there are one or two shots where you can see Frank Oz's head. Somewhere around the time he's eating Luke's food and messing around with R2. If you need me to I'll post screen caps...

Please do!  I've never heard that.

I don't think we should ignore the idea that "blue = electricity" just because the EU thought the same way.  Besides, in all of those sources (besides TCW) its a blue laser identical to the red/green lasers.  I'm sure that Ady's version isn't just a recolored blast, but might actually look like compressed electricity, which would be awesome.  The fact that they are blue are coincidences.

I got the RiffTrax for A New Hope so I had to watch the 04 version this weekend.  I keep adding my own quips about the terrible color (facetones in the Death Star conference room looked like they were all getting choked!) and my wife kept complaining about the unbalanced sound.  The RiffTrax was great by the way.  For those of you worried that they blaspheme the movie, they really don't.  Most of the jokes are making fun of the prequels and the SE additions.  Well worth the money, and its another reason besides making this edit "legal" for keeping the DVD.

The 2004 special editions and greedo shooting first 1997 versions of star wars should be made fun of but only the new scenes added.  The old original trilogy stuff is good imho, okay maybe the ewoks in jedi deserve ridicule on Lucas part just like Jar Jar. But to me the Worst change of all was Hayden in Return of the Jedi. Oh and of course George had to put Jar Jar saying weesa freeee!.

I don't know if anyone actually got this, but I did this weekend it was hilarious.  A great deal of the jokes were about the Special Edition (upon entering Mos Eisley "Oh so this is what Mos Eisley looks like! Boy the movie wouldn't have made any sense without these shots" "Yeah, no one would have liked it ever!"; "It's great that Lucas could realize his vision for this scene: out of focus brontosaurus butt.").  A whole bunch of them were about the prequels (And this is my counterpart R2D2: "I stood by your mother as she died."; "Luke's laying the sand!  His father would have hated that!")

The scariest joke came shortly after the crawl ended: "My question is, how are you watching this DVD when you told everyone online you were gonna throw it out and only keep the theatrical version, huh?"  It's like they're watching us...  Hi Mike!

Good lord.  Seriously, I just follow his directions to find the screenshots.  I had no idea what he was going for through any of that.  It's all good stuff!

But look at all the different colors of AT-ATs and sky in those shots!  Each one is different, like taking place on different days even!

Even the same walker has four completely different backgrounds in a few seconds!

Interesting... i never saw the forest color correction as a saturation boost.

Ok next time i will tone the things down a bit ;P

 

-Angel

Edit:

1st Frame: my color corection

2nd Frame: Desaturation -25%

3d Frame: Desaturation -35%

4th Frame: Desaturation -40%

5th Frame: Original

 

 

 

I thought your original was a bit too green, but I like the 40 or 35 the best in this line up.  Much better than 2004!

Congratulations on the camera, ady (man, you got me, too!)! I know I haven't really been vocal much recently (work has been a little hectic), but I've caught up on the past week or two of posts, and it looks like things are moving along splendidly. I'm going to need to dig deeper back to find the source of all this shooting-new-sequences talk so I can figure out exactly what you're going to be doing, but I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of it! And, as before, if you need some help, let me know.

 

Take care,

Sojourn

 

Here is Ady's list of new things he needs to film.
