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!

I guess it would depend on the shot of the Executor you wanted to enhance. What kind of shot did you have in mind?

Also, if you want to use any perspective of that little video I made for different angles of the Death Star, feel free to do so.

That would come in handy for the view of the Death Star from Endor’s surface. Not to mention you could change up the angle for some of the space battle shots.

Great update-Glad to hear it!

Watching the battle of Endor, I think of Spock reminding Kirk they are in space and that Kahn is a two-dementional thinker.
If the rebels wanted to escape, they could easily fly over or under the blockade of Star Destroyers. The whole battle should be surrounded with Star Destroyers.

Actually that is some of the only footage for ROTJ that could now possibly be used, with a lot of work, especially now with Topaz upscaling AI being available along with better noise reduction software . The rest of the deleted scenes from Jedi go from low quality to less-than-laserdisc quality, so can’t be used. But most of the shots inside the falcon are rubbish anyway. Why the hell are they running through the corridors with guns during the space battle? Maybe one or two shots, if any at all, may be used

That would be interesting.
I think the Millennium Falcon is shown only destroying 2 Tie Fighters in all of the finale space battle. Would love to see a little more Falcon action for the last hurrah.

Maybe change the guns in their hands to some kind of tool or an ice cream maker, if you wanted to utilize that footage for something.

Work will resume of the Revisited edits on September 14th. 😁😁😁

Very happy to hear that!
Sorry things were so rough. Has not been a great time-makes me really look forward to these edits.

They recreated it and still put Yavin 4 and the DS1 in visual range of each other for the flyby.

Never even thought about that.

I believe today is the 3rd anniversary for Empire: Revisited!
Once again, thanks for all your hard work Ady.
