Adywan has recoloured the original R2 red so he looks like a different droid, a new R2 has been added to the shot up front of Ben and Luke, you can see this in the pic above, so now when they turn R2 seems to be in the right place. The great thing is Han shoots first again.Īnother change for continuity is the shot when Ben, Luke and the droids are heading to docking bay 94, in the original shot R2-D2 was behind C3-PO and yet as they turn in the same shot to enter the area where Chewbacca is waiting R2 enters frame at the bottom, like he's just sprinted 30 foot in a second, they obviously had two R2's in this shot originally. And now we also get to see Greedo with some facial expressions, he blinks his eyes and tweaks have been done around the face to give him some movement. just to add a bit of life to what was otherwise a static latex mask. The famous cantina sequence has had a number of tweaks, mainly shots of alien creatures blinking and frowning etc. The trip into Mos Eisley has been re-edited so we don't see the Jawa swinging from the Ronto anymore and other Ronto shots have been trimmed back. One shot that I was surprised ILM never did was adding the missing radar dish to the top of the Millennium Falcon in docking bay 94, Adywan has not only added the dish but he's extended the back of the bay as well under the front forks of the Falcon. The FX for Luke's macrobinoculars has been updated to produce a much clearer image of what Luke is seeing. OK this is something most people wouldn't spot or give a toss about but Adywan figured in his cut it was worth doing. Continuity changes are shots such as when Luke is talking to Beru before he joins Owen with the Jawas, several bushes have been removed from the shot for continuity with the following shots where Luke walks away to join his Uncle. In all versions it appeared as a black dot on the horizon, Adywan has moved C3-PO in the shot and added a much bigger sandcrawler, we can actually see what it is now and you get the idea it's close enough to see C3-PO waving and shouting. One change that I thought worked was C3-PO sighting of the Jawas sandcrawler. I'll pick out some stuff, there's lots to choose from but I'm highlighting some. Some scenes have even been changed editorially, but more on that later.

And some such as whole new FX shots and sequences. Anyway I would have to go as far as to say that if I had to watch either the Special Edition or this DVD called Star Wars Revisited then I'd choose the latter work by the fan.Īdywan as he calls himself has made quite a number of changes, some very subtle such as adding blinking light to Vaders chest panel and removing the red tint on his helmets eyes that he has in this film. Now I know you could go on forever replacing stuff but ILM's work seemed a bit spasmodic at times.

plus some FX shots that were never altered when some were. I always thought that some of the stuff was decidedly ropey on the re-releases, Greedo shooting first, the addition of Jabba the Hutt etc. The 2nd reason was to see if a fan could out do what Lucasfilm had done with the film.

I was interested in this version for 2 reasons, firstly I was never happy with the Star Wars Special Editions, I still prefer the version I seen back in 1977. A DVD made freely available on the internet for fans to download, not for sale, but free, he's making no profit from his version. A fan who has decided to make his own edition of the film that he is happy with. Now a year later along comes a new version of Star Wars, not a new version by Lucasfilm, but a version put together by a fan. People fell for my joke thinking this would be just the sort of thing that George Lucas would do again. I made a post last year as an April Fool about a new DVD that Lucasfilm was releasing with more changes to the Star Wars films here and here.
