Quick update:
Oh my god! Get well soon Ady, this was a shock!
Finally removed that weird random tie fighter. Always made this shot seem chaotic. Little more clear now.

thanks, and yeah that’s what I thought too.
The explosion looks “fuller” if that makes sense – it’s a much better explosion than the original. One tiny thing that stood out though (which may be so small as to be deemed entirely irrelevant):
The two other TIE’s are moving forward towards the screen, yet the explosion seems to be locked into place; wouldn’t the explosion be steadily moving away from the camera?
yeah I know, but the original explosion was locked in place, so there isn’t much I can do I’m afraid.

dust/scratches removal still wip.
I just realized this shot is flipped:
look at r2’s hologram thingy.Nice catch! Chewies belt is flipped back to the correct shoulder after that, so it was just that one shot.
Although I kind of understand why they did that from an editing perspective.
yeah, hope Adywan sees this…

From Ady on Facebook:
“Hi Everyone.
Sorry for the lack of updates/ communication, but i haven’t been too well for a while. So, due to this, i have been unable to do any work on the PC. Feeling a little better now so i’ve restarted work on Revisited. Because of this , my plans for a mid year release of ANH:R HD is out of the window. Plus i will be adding shots to the battle of Yavin for a slightly extended TIE battle ( not as long as the SD version though), so this will add to the remaining shots left to be done. So, as i’ve lost a couple of months worth of worktime and adding these shots, i am unable to give you a ballpark figure of a release date for ANH. But i will keep you updated on what is left to do as i go along.”
oh, guess I missed that.
I’m so sorry, Ady. I can’t imagine what you’d be sick with for months on end.
Did I miss an update or something?
That looks great!
Thanks
finally fixed:

At the beginning of the movie, there’s a continuity error with two matte paintings that are meant to be the same hangar exterior, but from different angles.
See how there’s a hangar missing on the far right of the second shot that was in the first shot?
Never noticed that, wow keen eye.
The top photo looks great; as others have noted, it makes it look more otherworldly. Darkening it a bit will really sell the effect!
I’ll get the second version out when I get home.

I agree with DarthMarv. I’ve never really like that particular shot…especially that leafless tree in the bottom right corner.
Although, I will say that I thought the planet was too …bright(?) when I first saw it.
yeah, it needs darkening a little bit.
which is better?



Hello, Star Wars fans!
This edit will be a mixture of the SE and The original version, With some additives of course. The main source of this edit is The 2011 Blu-ray release, Color corrected by Adywan in 2018. I am hoping this edit will be a more purist version of the famous “Adywan Revisited”. All the basic info including the change list, Will be listed down below.
-That Guy With No Name.is this edit with the aspect ratio 2.35:1 or is it the width of widescreen and length of fullscreen?
Yes, it retains it’s original aspect ratio within 1920x1080

At the end of the day, the worst part of that shot is when Lando seems to walk outside the reach of the stage lights 😂, I wonder how adywan’s gonna fix that.Maybe have him walk ‘under’ something like a parked B-Wing if he decides to ‘fix’ the matte painting (just a random thought). But perhaps there are easier solutions.
that might work actually.
Honestly, my number one ask is to replace that matte painting shot when Han is departing with the strike team and talking to Lando with the falcon in the background. It is the most obvious matte shot in the entire saga in my opinion. I am still shocked Lucas didn’t tinker with it during the special edition. Especially in HD it always stands out to me like a sore thumb to me.
It’s hardly noticeable
I think the problem is they used a matte for the entire backdrop. They usually work a lot better when there’s other objects that help blend in to it. Like if the Falcon was a model, the rest as a matte wouldn’t be so bad. That poor ship is rough looking though.

I think it’s a lot worse in motion. Also, the left side behind Lando looks so flat. And something is weird with the perspective, especially if you focus on the bottom of the frame when they start moving around near the end of the shot.
There are serveral glaring issues with the shot. Although it is a beautiful matte, it does not look realistic in motion. Looking at this it definatly seems like a reshoot (or a way to comp to two actors into one shot becuase they weren’t there on the same day?), becuase they clearly had a set scene in the two closeup shots.
But it has a massive inconistancy in ship placements from hanger establishing shot, to the wide with Lando and Han, the falcon is facing a different way. Then when Han walks of screen to the shuttle, it is on a completely different side of the hanger. The whole sequence is messed up start to finish.
On third viewing im wrong about how the ship placement is wrong, it more that there isn’t enough space for the location where Han and Lando talk, based on the Establishing shot, as its meant to be in the lower right corner, between the two ships, but there is something off about the scale/lighting/preportions of those shots, whihc is why that section reads badly, IMO.

it’s way too low in the shot, as opposed to how straight on Han and Lando were shot.
but I’m pretty sure adywan confirmed he is replacing these with miniatures.
Wouldn’t the second Death Star also have a magnetic field, then? And obviously this voice modulation effect doesn’t appear in ROTJ.
idk maybe that part wasn’t fully completed that time around?
I don’t really think it’s important to be this nit-picky.
Out of curiosity, would you consider adding in the blue energy shields, similar to what was shown in Revenge Of The Sith, to the Death Star?
Here is a quick mock-up of what I mean:
I don’t think so. That’s too drastic of a change to add for something that only appears in one non-original trilogy film.
