Star Wars Revisited

[edd_jedi]

I've seen a few people mention these remakes, so I just went to the website to check them out:

It's left me rather confused though. Firstly, where do you get them from? no download links that I can see. Secondly it appears there are at least 4 versions of ANH, which is the best/latest one? And what about the other two films?

It sounds like a great project and the website has load of info on it, but it's not very user friendly!

I like those videos of the original films shot from unused footage with extras in them. Think the Empire one was caled Empire Begins. They are amazing.

Those are filmamentaries by Jamie Dumbar, different.

Revisited is a fans version of the special editions, but 1000 times better.

Thanks, I'll check them out

Capturing Tantive IV:
1.Added a third moon of Tatooine to match the number seen in Attack of the Clones.
2.Retimed the pan down so Tatooine appears at the correct musical cue.
3.Made the Tatooine matte rotate slightly as the ships fly overhead.
4.Changed the flight path of Tantive IV so it can be seen the whole time the Star Destroyer is coming overhead.
5.Removed the horrible blue hazing as the Star Destroyer's engine come into view.
6.Re-positioned the laser bolt that hits Tantive IV so it hits the spot that explodes.
7.Changed the explosion as the Tantive IV is hit to remove a lot of the smoke.
8.Made Tantive IV react to the hit and have its engines fail.
9.Sped up the starfield as Tantive is hit to match the speed it had been going in previous shots.
10.Added announcement to Tantive interior from the radio drama.
11.Restored original klaxon only heard in the original 1977 mono mix.
12.Altered C-3PO's line "They'll be no escape for the princess this time" (not in PURIST).
13.Re-edited the Imperial breaching scene, partially to remove continuity errors where troops can be seen dying more than once and to eliminate flip shots.
14.Removed the full-screen pink flashes when blasters are fired.
15.Added lasers to blasters that were fired with no bolt.
16.Removed laser that came from the sight of one of the blasters.
17.Fixed jump cut after the droids cross the hallway in the middle of the fight.
18.Sped up dead Stormtrooper's head that hit the floor as Vader enters.
19.Added laser blasts to the hallway behind 3PO as he's looking for R2 so that a trooper doesn't just trip and fall.
20.Smoothed jump cut when R2 extends his third leg after Leia leaves her message.
21.Shortened a bit of the set so it doesn't look like R2 is going to hit the wall after heading towards 3PO.
22.Smoothed jump cut when R2 starts to roll forward after 3PO worries about the Spice Mines.
23.Fixed continuity error with the Stormtrooper's legs standing behind Vader as he tortures Captain Antilles.
24.Fixed it so that all of Leia's dress glows when she is hit by the stun blast.
25.Extended the closeup of R2 opening the escape pod door so his attachment retracts.
26.Re-coloured the escape pod interior blue in some shots to fix continuity errors.
27.Added some rotation to the escape pod as it blasts off.
28.Changed the trajectory so that the escape pod heads downward as the Star Destroyer gunners watch it.
29.Replaced the view outside the escape pod window so that the Star Destroyer has the Tantive IV in it's underbelly and recedes at a different rate than the stars.
30.Added the twin suns to the shot of the escape pod heading towards Tatooine and had the pod enter the atmosphere at the end.

Here is the George Lucas ILM Blu-Ray:

Couldn't even be bothered to get rid of the rotoscope from 1983:

 

[Spookedhippie]

Looks fascinating, is the only way to get it is by downloading it?

 

[Grant_C]

Could send me a PM

 

[Jez]

Looks amazing Grant, thanks for the links.
I remember when you were showing me and Chris the Vader vs Ben fight, this guy should get a job at Disney!

 

[JuniorChubb]

Awesome Grant, I have looked into this before but the process looked a bit longwinded, so did the downloading...

Mind if I PM you for more details?

 

[cracatilla]

This looks amazing.
Wouldn't mind seeing it in its entirety.

Been checking out the website and some of the changes are spot on.

I spoke to the guy at work who seems to specialise in copied films (there is always one) and he happened to have this, Just finished watching it and i can say with 100% certainty this is what Gerorge Lucas should have done to the special editions its absolutley fabulous!

 

[PGowdy]

How does one get hold of this DVD? It look cool. I have the original unedited versions of the original trilogy on DVD i can't watch the Lucas re-edits they are absurd but unfortunately the originals, visually, aren't as good. This could be the delicate mix of the 2 i've been waiting for.

 

[jambobbyb]

Hi Pete I couldn't find any download torrents so asked the copy guy at work have a word with grant (maulster) he has been helping out getting it to peeps. I can't wait for ESBR lets hope Disney don't screw it up

If you really like it- you can send money to support ESB:R. Remember this is a small group of guys who are just doing it for the live if Star Wars. They do all the effects and model building themselves and its taken years to do. I happily gave them cash last year, and it really helps. Just a fiver, ( a pint) would be a well sound thing to.

Just a thought. :wink:
