Shadowman99 is my hero.  Screenshots, that's the key, ladies and gentlemen.  I was going to mention the floating SD as I just noticed it upon viewing GoodMusician's alternate music track (which is where I noticed the turret as well).

I don't think that shadow on the Falcon looks bad, but at least its not the shadow of the gun like I thought it was.

Wow, first time viewer.  Um, we'd love Revisited to be your first step into the larger world.  Let us know how you think it fits in with everything else!

ok i managed to redo the gun and this is the closest i'm going to get it to match the model

Looking good!

Oh, and the Corellian Bloodstripes came from the original "Han Solo Adventures" book trilogy published before ESB.  I've never really put much stock in them, so his different stripes never bothered me.  Adding prequel elements to Revisited is one thing, adding EU stuff from books before there was more than one movie is something else.  I'm sure later EU books explained it away anyway (just like all of the stories of young Boba Fett in the EU all of a sudden became Jango's history, and people just got confused).

This came to me last night.  I think the asteroid field should be visable before our heros reach it since currently it kind of comes out of nowhere.  Maybe it could even be added to the background of some of the orbital Hoth shots as well.  General Rieekan said that there's a lot of meteor activity in the system, so maybe it could be visable, kind of like a reference point to show which direction people are flying, Han towards it, Luke away from it.

I also think it'd be cool to see other meteorites entering the atmosphere, but that may be too distracting as the only one we see is a probe droid, and those unfamiliar may believe they are just dozens of probes landing.

Anyway, that's what I came up with.

just a quick stupid question, WAY to many pages to read in this topic :)

I just downloaded the dvd-9 ntsc version, does this allready have the fix done or must is still be applied to the iso?

I would apply it anyway.  It doesn't hurt.

oh yeh, didn't spot that. i'll redo the new matte. Thanks for pointing that out :)

It's like interactive movies!  Like I was telling ImperialFighter the other day, I wish that "real" movies took suggestions and gave previews like this...

So, Ady, back to the most recent split screen preview.  I assume you changed the shot of the power generator to better match the image sent back to the Imperial Fleet.  But looking at the image that Vader and Co are looking at, there seems to be a turret near the generator.  What say you?

I've just had a look at your clips GoodMusician and it's i can now see why they didn't use the original score. it was definitely for a different edit of the opening. the music where the probe droid emerges does sound more like its for the the taun taun running than for the probe droid so maybe that wasn't revealed until after Luke was attacked. Also i think there may have been an extra shot of the probe flying through space. I've done a rough mock-up of the scene but slowed down some shots to fit the cues so they look odd. it would be so great if we could find some documentation of what the original edit was like.

I do have to say though that i actually now prefer the fanfare at the end that what was originally intended. I'm probably going to keep that in and change the one at the end of the Vader meditation scene.

 

 

 

I'm sorry, but I don't get it..... Please reconsider before dumping the original opening music...this didn't sound like ESB AT ALL to me...

Sorry Ady....

vbangle, Adywan only said that he likes everything that is currently in the movie, except he wants to change the end of the Vader meditation scene.  Nothing to freak out about, my friend.

I agree with GM about the timing of the original score.  The Taun Taun kind of seems evil with that music behind it, espcecially if you'd never seen it before.

But if its not getting put it in, I don't know if we need to spend more time on it.  We should now be looking for a new cue for Vader's Meditation Chamber!

Change the other use of it...  Why didn't any of us think of that?  Leave it to Ady to not just state the obvious, but re-edit the opening sequence just to see what it might have been like.

when accessing scenes via the chapter menus, the English subtitle option automatically shows up with the movie. Is there a fix I missed?

It did the same thing on my laptop. I've also noticed that the DVD9 just plays on my laptop- it won't play at all on my old iMac or on my DVD player, but the Purist DVD plays on everything. Probably due to the advancing age of my iMac and DVD player(?)

Ady,

Those who've gotten to know me in the last 2 years know that I'm no fan of the SEs. Given a choice between the SE and the Purist edition- I would far prefer watching your Purist edition.

I'm amazed at how you removed the ronto from that one scene- how DID you do that? I've watched it several times and I don't see a drop in quality- it's amazing!

I only hope that this project encourages someone, someday, to do a true purist's "purist" edition, and de-SE the entire film. You've shown that it CAN be done (and done well!)

Thanks for all your hard work.

You can see the breakdown at Erikstormtrooper's Adywan Archive with the file "mos_eisley_mixdown_layers.zip"

You can use Photoshop, The GIMP, or something like that to view all of the layers it took for him to delete the Ronto and show what was behind it.  Absolutely awesome.

It a "deleted scene" on the DVD-9 version, as much sense as that makes.  Yes, Adywan made a deleted scene from scratch, and its pretty awesome.

GoodMusician, thanks for your mix of the original score.  If nothing else, I like seeing it preserved.  I would think it was too much for a project like this, but Ady added "Battle of the Heroes" to A New Hope, and at least this was originally written for this movie.  Like Lucas probably vetoed the original cut like you showed, Ady may do the opposite.  In the end it wasn't up to John Williams and its not up to us, its up to the director.

May Ady's will be done.
