An array of additional informative sources regarding the numerous changes made to the Original Trilogy films over the years has been added to the first post of the first page of this quality, comprehensive and insightful thread (with kind permission of doubleofive).
 

This thread will be also soon be pinned to the top of the ‘Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases’ section - as the main reference point and discussion thread for the copious changes made to these beloved films.

From doubleofive’s Star Wars Visual Comparison twitter account:-

‘In order to add details into the deep shadows present in the original shot, Vader’s face, chest plate, legs, and right arm were added from another source & tracked onto his body for the DVD. (2004)’…

A section for ‘The changes made to the Original Trilogy films over the years…’ - containing many sources of information on those numerous changes - has been added to the Index.
 

As ever, please post any ideas or suggestions for additional topics or threads for inclusion here - thank you.

An obituary - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-24855930
 

^ Ha, that was a great fun watch; we’ve likely viewed many of those scenes multiple times over - and never noticed some of the content on that video 😃

Their (the ‘Corridor Crew’) VFX Artist Reveals HOW BIG Star Wars Ships REALLY Are! video was a decent watch too (including the pronunciation for ROTJ 😉)
 

‘Building a Star Wars X-Wing…Playset Swing!’:-

^ I think it’s meant for kids…
 

Star Wars Comparison’s YouTube video channel for comparing OT theatrical cuts to official blu ray and various fan projects.

^ I imagine it’s by someone on here? 😃
 

^^ What have they done…

Yes! This!
I’d forgotten as well!

Following on from a conversation in the What am I drinking [Closed] thread… that I’ve only just recalled!

A new thread for fine beer labels from around the world (or any passable alcohol with a quality or intriguing label on it).
 

The beer that started this off… 🍺

^ Ichnusa - a quality Italian beer (Sardinia, I think). Lovely chilled beer, with a creamy body to it.

Some weird label here; one that got George Lucas pissed…

‘Imperial Stout Trooper’:-

http://www.ctmuseumquest.com/?page_id=20855 - seems George sent them a cease and desist letter…

'A few years ago, the label was far more Storm Troopery. Somehow, George Lucas got wind of it and as George Lucas likes to do, he issued our best little brewery a cease and desist order. Seriously. It used to hang prominently at the brewery, but the last few times I was down there it had been moved.

So what did NEBCO do? The next time they released the IST, they threw some sunglasses on the Trooper. Brilliant. The next release featured a Groucho Marx nose and eyebrows. Genius. (Note the font is still quite Star Warsy.)

Ok, to the beer. I’ve actually had it several times – always in growlers from the brewery. Black as engine oil and full of malty goodness, the IST holds up to its reputation. This 2012 version is a bit different from the 2011 I remember. I can’t put my finger (or my liver) on it though… it seems like some of the secondary flavors are missing.’
 

'More Cameos We Want in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’ - from geek.com

^ I hadn’t realised they got Forest Whitaker in to play Saul Gerrera in it - nice one 😃

Would cool to Kyle Katarn feature in another game - as the article lists in their wish-list of cameos.

Seems there won’t be any lopping off limbs of the stormtroopers in the game…

‘Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will only allow for lightsaber dismemberment “in select cases”’ - from GamesRadar.com
 

^ sounds very promising that - especially the flying around space section 😃

Well, it took a long time, but I’m happy with the work. I’m still planning Rogue One and Solo cases if I can get the art the way I like it first. Enjoy!!

Beautiful covers man - you really nailed the worn look for them!

^ an entertaining and informative watch that, nice one 😃

Sweet news - a fun ‘pick up and play’ humorous Star Wars game encompassing all the films from the Main Saga… looking forward to that 😃

Title: Rey-turn Of The Jedi

I have a feeling that could well be the name for a good Fan Edit should TROS be a re-hash of TFA 😉 (which thankfully does seem unlikely…)

The force ghost of Obi Wan (visual or audio) would be a welcome inclusion - even if it’s ‘just’ a shot/scene or two with other force ghosts.
 

It may be worth asking adywan mate, either through PM, the Revisited facebook or twitter page - the Revisited blog, or in one of the adywan Revisited project threads (where someone who has a copy may also be able to help).

Good luck with it.

I’ll most likely buy it once it gets discounted. Looks fun, but not day-one full-price kind of fun.

Same here.

I like the look of it - an updated TFU/Jedi Outcast style game, though was hoping for something with a little more to it…

(Having said I was beginning to think we’d never see a new single-player Star Wars game again! So am quite happy there is one.)
 

Roll-on more gamplay videos of it - and the reviews when closer to launch.
