Fett's character built up due to popularity is not the same as being a real character. Since AotC, I've been over Fett love.

 Another great reason why I pretend the prequels dont exist. I'd absolutely love it if Ady could make the Fett name dissapear in the prequels. And I feel Vader sounds more threatening if he doesn't use people's names...but simply calls them by their professions. Makes it cold and impersonal...which implies, "if you cross me, you're just that easy to rub out".

Shootin some footage for Ady the same way Ming did. Ming is 2nd Unit director....I'm 3rd

I'm a little wary about that. I mean, Wolverine in ESB? That could take me right out of it.

 Its a crossover film, hadn't you heard? Wolverine travels to Hoth to learn of his origins and gets stuck right smack in the middle of Vader's ground assault on Echo Base

 Just donated!!! I'm sure everyone has in here but I'm gonna try to spread the word elsewhere.

 Thanks very much. Your support is greatly appreciated.

I usually forget to visit Ady's facebook page.

 For all those who either forget to go, or for those who don't bother much with the Failbooks......Heres a recent comment from Ady:

"Thank you to everyone who has donated towards this project so far. We're getting closer to the completion of this episode, but still need your help. We are pretty close to hitting the target for materials with about £1500 left to raise (give or take a few hundred depending on prices of materials at the time of purchase). I'm still hoping for a May 2012 release date and it is looking possible, but ...we still need to find these funds. Don't forget that anyone that donates £5 or more towards this project gets a chance to win one of the models created for this film. Anyone that donates after the final funds have been raised will immediately have their money refunded and on that day the draw will take place and the winners announced. I really wouldn't be able to complete this edit without you guys and for that i am eternally grateful - Adywan."

And anyone who might like to add a donation to what we've already collected for Ady this Holiday season...just go to the official Revisited website: http://swrevisited.wordpress.com/ 

(The donation link is on the right side of the page)

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

Meant to add that it also freezes your program preferences and settings...

I need to wipe the drive and reinstall everything soon, but i'm trying to put it off until i've finished ESB:R

 I use a program called DeepFreeze to avoid having to do frequent reinstallations. Locks up your computer so that nothing can be saved or altered unless you do a lengthy unlocking process which requies a restart. You get everything set the way you want it, then you lock DeepFreeze, and you can go for years.....you could even intentionally download the nastiest viruses, but as soon as you reboot everything is back to the way it was when you locked DeepFreeze.

 This is something that has always bothered me as well

What goes wrong is that Lucas plays to their appearance and not against it.

So what should be a tense battle becomes a series of slapstick routines where cute bears hit clowns in stormtrooper outfits with sticks and rocks.

Instead we should see a legion of stormtroopers (on top of those already in the garrison protecting the dish) taken by surprise by pre-planned piece of guerilla warfare by a stone-age civilisation who had already engaged the troops in the garrison on a smaller scale before the Rebels even got there.

How else would all those traps get there if they had so much short notice?

The Ewoks must have intended on attacking the forrest around the bunker long before the Rebels landed.

Their village should be decorated with the corpses of their enemy.

That way their appearance (teddy bears) becomes a dramatic surprise instead of a joke which undermines the menace the Imperial forces have represented for the last two and half films.

With the Rebels added to that, then it becomes a plausible sequence.

 ^THIS....all of it....twice.

Hey all, Ive been reading thru the last 10 or so pages, (dont get online as much these days, working long hrs) & I cant believe the hard work going into this! Ady, you are amazing! GL should hire you & fire his entire team LOL. Empire is my favorite movie of all time & I feel as excited about this as I did when I was a kid waiting standing in the lobby waiting to get in the theater to see Empire! Any sort of time line on when this is gonna be done? (or how or where we're gonna be able to download it? The Rapidshare thing is kinda scary)

Once again, thanks to Ady & all who are working on this. I plan to donate after Christmas time when I have a little more cash flow.

So far the estimated release date is May 2012 (thats always subject to change, so no guarantees of course)

fanedit.info is a good place to find fan edits and download them.

And donations are most welcome. We need all the help we can get on this. We've still got a ways to go before this thing is a finished reality. Anything you might wish to send Revisited's way will be put to good use.

It's the touches we don't know about that I'm looking forward to the most, assuming we there are some.

And if there are I don't want to find out about them until the big reveal.

 Something I learned before ever joining the project: Ady always likes to have a few surprises for the fans. It really keeps the fun in all of this.

Agreed. I was simply responding to the suggestion that Ady use these deleted scenes in his edit...as I know he has made specific comments about their quality before. It would definitely be great to see some of the better ones worked into a version of the film.

Ady has already stated that the deleted scenes are unusable for the most part...including the bunker storming sequence. They just weren't included at high enough quality on the Blu-Ray set

I had actually really been looking forward to seeing y-wings in the PT (you know, back when it was still something I anticipated, rather than dreaded)

Have purchased a large portion of all the modeling supplies for the first block of model shooting I want to do. Still have a second round of purchases I need to make before I can start building this one, but its going to have to wait until after Christmas.....and until I can manage to get some of this credit card paid off (this edit is turning out to be WAY more expensive than I thought it would be.......darn me and my creativity)

Brimley said:

Donated!  :-)

 Musta been the right thing to do ;) Thanks Brim!

The RED1....and the rest of the equipment to be decided upon once I get a better idea of what kind of shots Ady wishes to see.

Shootin some footage for Ady the same way Ming did. Ming is 2nd Unit director....I'm 3rd

Last I heard, yes. But that was some while ago.

Part of its up to you, 3rd Unit Director!

 Lookin forward to it....its gonna be great

Last I heard, yes. But that was some while ago.

Just a quick heads up for any and all who might be interested in helping out on Revisited and/or sending Ady a little Xmas cheer....theres a Christmas donation drive going on right now. Its called "Donate 1". The idea is that if every Revisited fan donates just £1, which is easily affordable for just about anyone, then we should be able to raise fairly significant amounts towards the completion of ESB:R.

If you would like to join us in wishing Ady a Happy Christmas and sending him a little something to help him finish ESB:R, here are the links:

The "D1" page on the facebooks: https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/265682046813540/

And the official SW:R website which has a donation link on the upper right hand side of the page: http://swrevisited.wordpress.com/

Hope you're all having a great Holiday Season! Cheers!

I actually hated the DVD menu transitions on the 2004...and I love Ady's. The 2004 menu's themselves are ok, but the transitions are annoying and badly done.

Dude, you know theres a story being told during this film right? Its right in the foreground, more or less right in front of all those tiny little lights in the background. If you squint real hard you can just make it out...

I might be mistaken but I'm pretty sure that ESBR is essentially ESB with updated visuals. Fixing these inconsistencies is kind of the point.

 Seems some folks missed the post in which I mentioned that I was being flippant.......and as someone working with Ady on ESB:R I'm guessing the details mean a little something to myself as well. It was just a joke people. Deal with it.

Its just a bit of sarcasm.....humour......no slight intended
