Adywans Star Wars Revisited - 8 Minute Trailer Preview

[TheMillpat]

Adywans is better.

[MrSYSTEM20]

o.k. I get the whole YouTube forcing you to remove

the music, but surely you had something else you could use..

I can provide you with an original piece and give you exclusing permission

to use it that'll sound so much better then this. message me if interested.

[geordiekimbo2]

some brilliant additions...notably the added 3po footage and the new shots of the death star...the only superfluous one is the torture droid "enhancement" it doesnt work for me

[LynnisaMystery]

I was watching the blu-ray version of ANH a few days ago and I couldn't help but notice the number of errors George "Fixed" to be in line with your edit. I think that says something positive about you, personally!

[burlearth]

Luke's lightsabre jump-cut looks better as a jump-cut, the 'smoothing' draws more attention to itself it being more 'unnatural'. At least the original jump-cut is like a human 'blink'. Smooting -like a 'zoom'- cannot be replicated by the human eye, this is why jump-cuts can work.

[NecroHunter93]

2:o6, that was really smart

[RichardMontalban]

Excellent!  Thank God Han shot first.

[gof22]

The color looks much better in the 2007 version. I wonder how the Blu-Rays will look when they come out in September. 

[DrNick1010]

Yes! Han was the only one who shot.

[steelie2010]

the video is great but the music is shit

for god sake play some starwars music

[CassDaMan1138]

?........they are taking down STAR WARS MUSIC NOW?!?! HAVE SOME DECENCY AND SOME BALS YOUTUBE DAMNIT!

[shellatella]

As I said before and hope to not say again:There originally was Star Wars music to this clip, but unfortunately youtube made me remove the music and replace it with the now banal piece of crap you so wanted removed! sorry...

[barrybrien82]

@shellatella

I love this music what is it? It somehow fits. Sounds like the Max Rebo Band playing a funeral dirge.

[barrybrien82]

This is amazing. Greedo has come alive.

[EyeOnTheTV]

To those people complaining about the music - so what? Don't get so uptight:

you may say: "BUT OMG IT'S STARWARS IT'S GOT TO HAVE MF'ing STARWARS MUSIC !!! GAHH!"

Get over it. I happen to like this spacey serene track with the visuals. It placed the context of the visuals in a different perspective.

[Deathsquad49]

hey i thought that the execution droid wasnt supposed to shock, but inject.

[shellatella]

There originally was Star Wars music to this clip, but unfortunately youtube made me remove the music and replace it with the now banal piece of crap you so wanted removed! sorry...

[samsam29]

For fuck's sake put some Star Wars music in this, pls

[TheUltimateGC]

I don't get it.

[VWVVWVVWV]

Cool - Han shoots first! And I LOVE what you've done with the cantina creatures. Where can you see the finished project?

[VADERR7]

Awesome work!

[jfko6]

Impressive - Most Impressive.

[TheToonHq1]

i think my ears died

[gronktyst]

the music burns my Ears heheh how about some star wars music on this??!!?

[LucasTheHamster]

Aha. I saw the new droid. It was the battle droid right?

[gronktyst]

correct

[DavidBlast]

I like the original better, sorry.

[SpreadingtheMuse]

Putting a laser on the torture droid was a tad tacky. There's a difference between fixing an error and fixing something that wasnt broke.

[tombstoneblue]

I understand what you mean, but would you think of a torture droid in the prequels look like that? It'd be CG, and have ten arms constantly rotating or something. It's a light touch, and it makes it look less "cheesy sci-fi"

[SpreadingtheMuse]

I dont think ANYTHING in the original SW was "cheesy." That word is overused and misused far too often. On the contrary, the original torture droid was the height of seriousness, a robot that hovers because the support bar is hidden off camera. Elegant simplicity equals realistic effect.

[Concreteowl]

@SpreadingtheMuse Personally I don't think Ady's electro needle works but as a conventional syringe the original doesn't work either (for one thing how is it supposed to get into position to jab Leia and if a syringe was to be used wouldn't it be easier just to get a human to do it?). I can see why he reworked it but the final result is the only thing that doesn't fit this edit in my view.

[SpreadingtheMuse]

@Concreteowl

The original needle had the advantage of being an ordinary, non-flashy non-obnoxious object. Not begging for attention, just sitting there and letting its diabolic potential use do its talking for it to play on your imagination.

I wasnt ever too worried about how the needle would get her, as it was a hovering robot after all, and you can see Vader reaching for her. But a hand-held needle wouldnt have worked, too ordinary. We need robots in sci fi, just not electro robots.

[Concreteowl]

@SpreadingtheMuse The original needle's everyday nature was a bit too funky for my liking too. This is a fictional universe with laser swords and mystical energy fields and the syringe perched on the edge of a floating ball just smacks a bit too much of The French Connection (I love that film but Star Wars does the familiar with a twist).

I suggested something like a scanning laser effect (very 70's, think Alien) which could do some sort of hypnotic laser display or maybe a dart.

[SpreadingtheMuse]

@Concreteowl

The problem with any FX in that scene is that the needle is a known item, we KNOW it hurts, we know its scary. That lets the scene explain itself without any corny exposition or dialogue and ruins the mood by explaining to the audience how dangerous our big flashy light is supposed to be, if only you knew what it did.

[PsychoCheese1337]

You should have done a side-by-side comparison of original and new.

Would have made the comparisons stand out more.

[StriderIsAragorn]

I like 90% of these new changes, but some seemed a bit over-the-top...removing the fly? The droid tracks? Luke's macros? Those things were all fine.

But hey, I have OCD too, so I know how it is...

[AudioAndroid]

oh yea would be nice to sneak a clone trooper helmet into OBs pad maybe have it sitting on a bench or table.

[AudioAndroid]

This is so much better thank you great job their was one mistake I still see but its ok its ok at 6:06 the two aliens talking they are both the same race but yet ones hands are bigger than the others I use to tell myself that ones a female and there hands a more smaller than the males more like human hands well again great job! Love it!

[shellatella]

Thanks for that stratanica! you got that right. Yes I had to/was forced to change the music due to the Beatles like attitude of the superband MECO and they're copyright issues. The track I added is a little creepy I agree with you shadowselfballbag but it was the only track that would fit the 8 mins of the video. Please forgive me??? x

[startanica]

You don't have to apologize, shellatella. It's not your fault.

[shadowselfballbag]

whats with the creepy fuckin music? put something relevant on it.

[startanica]

I remember that this orginally had Star Wars Disco music by MECO. But I guess certain copyright issues had made shellatella change the audio.

[USSHornett]

i like the music :) where can I get it?

[RACtrooper]

Nice work

[darthkurland]

Do you think that Han should've shot first?

[gingerbreadface]

george lucas says FUCK YOU!!!!

[dirtyvadah]

Awesome. This needs more attention in the wider world. As this is how the Special Edition should be.

[ianwr000]

Totally agree.I saw the completed film recently and it was trully spectacular.Found myself punching the air more than once!

[YellowCrayonDaVinci]

YES! FUCK YOU GEORGE LUCAS! After reading about Clone Wars I was about to hang up my star wars cap and give in to hate....but but thank teh internetz! And thank you Adywan. Now how do we go about finding this gem??

30000000 Intenets to you sir!
