It was a mistake born form Geoge Lucas’s inexperiance with fight scene at the time, quite why he never thought to adress it as one of the many chnages he made in his SE I can’t fathom.

What?! George has said he doesn’t like human violence. That’s why Obi-Wan didn’t go around cutting down Stormtroopers. I wager he deliberately went with the severed arm that would be the most alien.

Thought this was worth sharing.

I’ve messed around with 2D FX Adobe AE-

Is this & Element 3D a good program for learning to do 3D ships or is there something better?

DVDFab works great and is super easy to use.
Just drop the file, pick the format, and click start.
You can even upconvert.

Just like how ANH-RHD will be incorporating elements from RO, what are some of the things in TESB:R that were changed from what was shown in the Disney films?

Adywan added the sleeping bunk on the falcon.

I do have another question. Concerning that Adywan doesn’t intend to re-use footage from ESB and ROTJ, will those sequences be recreated from scratch? (New CGI-Recreation)?

(Edit: I just re-watched ESB:R and, I have two more questions.)

• I’ve noticed on the changes sheet that, the TIE Fighters were going to be color-changed to blue.
  But, I’ve seen a photo gallery of changes from May 2009, saying that the TIE Fighters were going
  to remain gray to add consistency from ANH:R. Are the TIE Fighters really gray or blue, what ever
  color they are are they going to remain?

• Adding on to re-watching ESB:R, I’ve also noticed that the video format/dimensions were 2.35:1.
  CinemaScope Format, a real win for me (I’ve grown to like that format). Will that remain in the
  upscale of ESB:R, ANH:RHD, and ROTJ:R?

Tie fighters are washed out in Star Wars. They have one of the original models at Planet Hollywood in Florida- they were blue.

Always thought this would be a cool mid-credit scene in Jedi-

Didn’t I see that Adywan was doing away with the blinking Ewoks?

Where is this HD Trailer? Could you could point me if the right direction?

Sorry, it was comparison video not really a trailer. I tried to find it but no luck. Hopefully someone else here will have a link for you.

i would love to check this version of the movie out, am i better off waiting for a hd version?

Adywan put out a trailer for Star Wars: Revisited HD. The new version is going to have enough updates that the 2008 (?) version will get you stoked. Plus, everytime you step off a curb you risk getting his by a car. I’d watch it just in case.

If there was more dialogue to pull from Vader to make it work, I’d like that change. But it still sticks out unfortunately.

Even with the new series and they were able to get Earl Jones again, it be hard to imagine him saying “mother” … but there can be more syllables to pull from to make it. Who knows.

It doesn’t have to be Vader saying “mother”, just James Earl Jones. He’s said Mother !ucker in a movie or two, plus he read the bible for an audiobook. There are also a few great impersonators on YouTube. If Adywan decides to do it , he’ll have a few different options to try and make it work.

Forgive me if I’ve already asked this, but is the edit idea of Vader saying “Your mother once thought as you do” rather then “Obi-Wan…” still happening?

I took a crack at the Vader audio edit. (see the link below)

Over the years I’ve gone back and forth on whether such a change would work. I like the original dialogue as is. However, I also think such a change could make this moment more personal and more about the shattered Skywalker family. Also, it would better tie the scene to the events seen in the PT. We didn’t see much of Obi-Wan seeing good in Anakin during ROTS. Who knows, maybe the upcoming series will cover that?

If Obi-Wan and Vader meet up again in the upcoming mini-series there could be a chance this is fixed. But I do like him saying “Your Mother” because it’s more personal. I like to see him remember Padme and it’s more of a deep cut.

Going to be great-can’t wait!
With Blank’s appearance in Mandalorian and a rumored upcoming mini-series, any consideration for putting you-know-who’s voice over back in?

I ran ESB:R through Topaz AI to upconvert to 4K. It took a few days and the program either locked up or crashed at least 10 times before I finally got it to go through. I think it looks sharper and the blacks look blacker. I might be able to do even better if I understood all the settings. I upconverted ANH:R with DVD Fab. The file size went from 1.82GB to 13.6GB, but it’s not that much better-at least I don’t see it.

The shot of Vader’s tie leaving the Death Star always bothers me. The three ties are locked together as they fly off. Here is the concept I’m working on in After effects. Moving on to Element 3D in hopes of making a worthy clip-

Will that be included in the HD version? I hope it will, I really liked that addition.

Me too. This edit is intended to be a special edition. There are multiple great edits for those who don’t favor the enhanced FX.

There was some great Tie Fighter Pilot Footage in the last episode of Mandalorian.

We’re going to be filming in the redwoods. Covid and the fires have been a major setback to our plans, but hopefully at some point we will be able to shoot the scenes needed.

Glad to hear it’s still on the table.
Thanks for the reply.

The mad lads got a crew in the Redwoods filming something. I just saw that much mentioned. Totally excited to see what he comes up with

Very cool!

Are you still planning on adding more rebel troop action to the Endor ground battle? Is that going to be done with green screen, or are you going to do some actual filing in the Redwoods?

Will the Imperial March be retained for the HD version? It’s one of my favorite changes of ANH:R.

I don’t know what other music you could even use for the Death Star reveal. Besides, isn’t the Imperial March used in Rogue One anyway?

Endor pic looks pretty cool!
