I feel the same way about the duel music......its just too much for ANH, and it overpowers whats going on.....honestly its the one and only fly in the ointment for me on this one. The emperors theme I find doesn't quite fit, but I'd probably not say much if it was my biggest complaint, and oddly enough I have zero problem with the new TIE reveal and imperial march.

Aside from that, the only other thing wouldn't be something he did, but something he DIDN'T do........and thats remove the horrible CG establishing shot of Mos Eisley with the scurriers....always hated that shot.

But in all honesty, the only one that really sticks in my craw is the duel music, and it seems like Luke's yell of "NOOO" comes a little too late, but that could just be because I'm not used to the new pacing.

I find it so unfortunate because apart from that one piece of music, Adywan's version would be, for me, the perfect retooling of ANH that I had always had in my head. I mean if I just flat out hated it, then that would be that.....but I actually love it, except for that one detail.

If I went purist then I'd lose some of the stuff that I really love about his new edit (ie: the re-arrangement of the Ben's hut sequence, which IMHO is what is should have been all along)

I don't remember for sure but I feel like something similar was asked before and the answer was no.

 well maybe if enough of us got together and asked........

Adywan.....if you're reading this....would you be at all willing to do an edit halfway between Revisited and Purist if enough people expressed interest?

LOL.....I was waitin for it

Maybe someone could (with Ady's permission) create a branching version where you could pick the scenes you want from all his versions (surely a blu-ray would have the space?).

 now THAT would be awesome....but unlikely.....

I think he's talking about the three hatches that Lando goes up on his extraordinarily long quest to the top of the Falcon. I'd rather just have the bright light replaced with the bottom of Cloud City somehow.

Yeah I know, i just thought I'd post that wee pic.

It does seem like he's making his way through the width of the Falcon...hatch after hatch:)

J

 I dont mind him going through multiple hatches, its the light outside that first hatch.....GL apparently didnt like it either, but instead of putting in the work to take out the effect of the light and painting in the underside of cloud city, he put in another hatch and made it look like there was a ring of lights on the inner wall of the falcon's hatch.....it was just clumsy and looks even worse than the original did

I was wondering if anyone else finds themselves as I do, caught squarely between Adywan’s revisited and purist versions of ANH. If what I’ve heard is true, much of what gets removed in the Purist version was stuff I liked. The only 2 things I didn’t like were the Ben and Vader music that was added in, and the emperors theme that was added in…beyond that, I think Adywan’s changes were excellent, including the imperial march and the new Ben’s hut edit. I am curious to see how many people are stuck in the middle as I am…

What about the hatch on the top of the falcon when Lando rescues Luke from underneath cloud city......it was "fixed" in one of Lucas' toyings with the movie, but never looked right IMHO.....

this is a small detail....but it always bothered me that the b-wings at the begining of the space battle in ROTJ were only in a couple of establishing shots and not in more of the actual battle....perhaps Adywan could fix this....

I was very dissapointed with the DVD that was released for this film as they have gone and mucked about with much of the color, and the sound. Many sound effects were changed or simply left out. I had a good condition vhs copy transferred onto DVD…but its quality is much lower than the remastered version picture-wise. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who would be willing to do an Adywan style re-edit of this particular film, or if its already been done. I am currectly working on DVD artwork that is much darker than the overly cheery garbage  they made for the official DVD and will gladly supply it to anyone who might like to undertake a re-edit of this film…

For Christmas I have been giving a few friends a three-pack comprised of Revisited, the Rowman Epsiode IV Bonus Material disc, and the Holiday Special. Here's the cover art I created to go with it.

Is there a high resolution version of this anywhere?

 Thats what I'm trying to find out.......he reads my messages but so far has not responded

KILLBOT.......you had mentioned that you'd give out your retro DVD artwork for ANH Revisited.........I'd love to have it......and if you could send me the fonts as well I'd appreciate it

Killbot, I sent you a PM, did you get it?

Well I know I'm new here....but I've been working with photoshop for many years.....anybody want me to throw together a minimalist dvd set? with inserts and a slipcase......was thinking of doing it......

Damn......some of those I liked, some I didn't.....now I gotta figure out which I prefer......

I had found them at a decent size......and they can always be cleaned up in photoshop if they do get a little pixely during a resize

Can anybody tell me the difference between Revisited and Revisited Purist?

And is anybody out there willing to make me a couple of DVD's of this thing? I'd donate some money for your time and the cost of the discs...

found it.....its Andy Helms

Found some minimalist posters that would probably make nice DVD artwork......can't remember the artists name....
