  • prepare to fir-

    damnit....

  • SD still picked off one of the x-wings before they jumped o.O

  • eah,çok ta bacım deil gibiymiş :/

  • baccım baccım.

  • oldschool starwars MUCH better chill and enjoy

  • "Good, our 1st catch of the day."

    "Pfft. Like you know how to fish."

  • My favorite 42 seconds of Star Wars: period

  • so in this revised edition, the one xwing pilot gets blown up?

  • @koalashooter1 Yeah I don't remember that happening?

  • Is he going to come out with anything else? I would really like to see Battle of Hoth the way he edits it.

  • unlucky X-Wing Pilot

  • It is blue because that's what ion cannon beams ALWAYS look like...

  • obviously the first thing I thought of after submitting grad school application.

  • It is really incredible how small changes can make a scene come alive. In the original this scene was pretty good, not great. Now, on the other hand, it is phenomenal. It really is amazing to see how small changes can make such a big difference.

  • @Rayle75 I will admit I like some of the changes are better just the whole thing put together is a mess....like the scene in Mos Eisley or Jabba the Hutt in episode 4 or the ending with showing all the planets (and jar jar) and having Darth Vader appear young (must say I did like the song they replaced at the end of the movie) but the changes in general are just ugly and detract from the full movie

  • @LordCHull Um, I think the Young Anakin clip may have pissed off some people and their nostalgic views but it doesnt mess up the story, jedi die when they are killed or when they turn to sith, Anakin "died" on episode 3 so they fixed up that login with the edit

  • @thehalowarthog It didn't make sense Luke never knew him as a young man

  • @LordCHull What are you talkin about, just cause luke never knew him as a young man doesnt mean he has to be the oldie anakin. This is Ani we're talkin about, HE died on episode 3 and became "reborn" into vader, which means his JEDI spirit is portrayed in the last form he took which was the young adult anakin from episode 3.

  • I like it, but why change it to blue?

  • ...much better...it makes the Imperials seem less like a bunch of bumbling fools...

  • I want a group of die hard star wars fans to do a remake of the original trylogy, without Lucasarts greedy idiots interfering, geniouses when left alone and not pushed create the masterpieces (Don't apply to episode one, but if you cut out jar jar binks it gets 10% better)

  • I love how you added more Star Destroyers in the background. Some people might complain that it's something George Lucas would do, but here it makes sense in context because the Empire is effectively blockading Hoth, so it would be logical that there are dozens of ships surrounding the planet.

  • Fuck, this is by far better than what Lucas could have done.

  • So epic! :)

  • "...like you know how to fish..."

  • It's a pitty they lost the ion cannon when they evacuated hoth...it was easily their most powerful weapon.

  • I remember I used to think this scene was so cool when I was little

  • For the umpteenth time, WE ARE NOT FISHING!!!!

  • funny never noticed the top X-wing being hit but also noticed the bottom one disappears from shot in front of the cruiser but does not reappear it should have been visible at the end of the shot even a little...

  • @hutchison82

    It does reappear. I never noticed the blasted X-Wing either. Poor guy.

  • How cool would it be if that ion cannon made a massive hole in that star destroyers bridge section..

  • @v8matey not possible, ion cannons don't do damage only disables power.

  • Comment removed

  • The Empire Strikes Back has always been one of my favorite films of all time. These vids just take it to a whole new level. This is the best rendering of the film so far in fact I think this version should be the Special Edition, not the '97 ones.

  • adywan shouldve supervised the blu ray editions

  • Yeaaaaaaah!!!!!!! Blue is the way to go! All games depict ion blasts as blue! very good job indeed!

  • funny, but in the last version that I watched the ion cannon shot was red

  • excelente!

  • Anytime I overcome a major obstacle I remember these words.

  • love it

  • great stuff - love them going into hyperspace at the end.

  • great work

  • Nice, ion shots are blue like in the TIE Fighter games.

  • I have no idea who you are (Adywans), but I think George Lucas needs to consult with you about the next re-release of the Star Wars franchise.

  • "Good... Our first catch of the day"

    "Yeah... like you know how to fish".

  • some one please tell me where i can down load this?

  • Lol Rebels dont leave that cannon there for the wampas when you evacuate

  • This is a welcome and AWESOME addition.....Adrians attention to detail is just AMAZING. He really is a TRUE fan as all of his painstaking edits are crafted from what most of us think should have happened as opposed to what effects would look nice and pretty. I can't wait for Empire - god only knows what he has in store for Jedi.....(hopefully a decimation of the Ewoks.....GRRRRRRRRRRRR)

  • Finally! A star destroyer that knows how to return fire at something!

  • That IS a little more realistic. ;)

  • Good, our first catch and bigger panoramic windows in one day!

  • Like you know anything about fishing.

  • fire the giant boob nipple gun

  • @nuttyjunior A lot of lactation. Feed that Star Destroyer well.

  • @nuttyjunior This made my day. LOL

  • @nuttyjunior Fire my crotch, more like it

  • Subtle, but a really nice touch is the Rebel ships jumping to hyperspace at the very end (you know, actually making it to safety).

  • giant cannon boob - peter g

  • oh wow. the ion cannon shot is actually blue, instead of fucking red like everything else. very nice.

  • Bigger windows... GREAT!!!

  • So this is what happens every time Chuck Norris has sex.

  • This is fantastic. How the hell did you do this?

  • @shellatella can you remake the entire saga? please?

  • @cameronman93 That's what he's doing (all 6 films). And it isn't Shellatella - it's Adywan.

  • this is so sick

  • Jesus this is good

  • @startonica Doubt that would be realistic. The ship SHOULD have burned up and crashed. Going that fast in atmosphere is a pretty dumb move :l

  • @Darkstar2398 I presume then that they'd be using atmospheric protection shields (or whatever you want to call them) which enable supersonic speeds without the hull being exposed to any friction whatsoever. The ARC-170 was equipped with such shields, so I presume that these more modern ships would come with that equipped as standard.

  • Fire the boob nipple gun!

  • "stand by Ion control" ;-)

  • FIRE THE ION CANNON!!!

  • The four morons that disliked this need to get an Ion Cannon Blast to the crotch!

  • Giant Boob Nipple Gun

  • Lucasfilm/ILM need to add this guy to the payroll!

  • Beauty !!!

  • impressive, most impressive.

  • my fav line in empire strikes back is "good,our first catch of the day"

  • Holy crap, I am most certainly impressed by this work!

  • First, I thought back to watching this in the theater 14 years ago and, assuming I'd overlooked the Special Edition changes in the heat of the moment or had since forgotten them, figured Lucas deserved some credit. Then I read the comments. Nice work.

  • "Good. Our first catch of the day." wtf!? that guy needs to go back to acting school...

  • GREAT!

  • One thing that bugs me about this though... well maybe it's been fixed already, but the x-wing goes into hyperspace with the rebel transport. Shouldn't it stay behind to protect more transports as they leave? I thought I remember a rebel pilot saying something like "Two x-wings up against a Star Destroyer?!?" which suggests that the rebels were short on pilots/xwings. Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong. But either way, it seems a weird for that one xwing to leave when there's still ships to protect

  • @ilostatsolitare

    No. Its an escort mission. The X-Wings stick with the transport and draw fire away when the transport is threatened. (If you look again, you'll see the X-Wing that was destroyed, was ahead of the transport and drew attention of the Star Destroyer.) ... When threat is cleared, the X-Wing remains with the transport until they reach their destination. Each transport is assigned a pair of fighters with the Ion Cannon providing fire support.

    This is a well thought-out fan edit.

  • @ilostatsolitare If a fighter sticks around, the Star Destroyer will launch its own fighters and shoot it down.

  • The actress appears in 0:19 is Natalie Portman or I'm crazy?

  • @EduardoTVideos DUDE ! Empire Strikes back was made 1980 Natalie Portman was BORN in 1981

    COULD YOU PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NOT BE PART OF STATISTIC OF IDIOTS ON THE WEB !

    ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE GOOGLE, WIKI, IMDB TO FIND SIMPLE INFORMATION.

  • @EduardoTVideos The name of that actress is Brigitte Kahn who played the role of Major Toryn Farr. Don't worry, you're not the first person to make that mistake.

  • Yes that´s great. Blue Ion shot, a Stardestroyer pins down a single X-Wing and then finaly hit by the Ion Burst. Wow goooooood job. Excellent Work. Where I can buy the revisited Version?

  • How can the star destroyer crew be so noob to not have their shields up, during a planetary assault? That's like an open invite to get ion cannoned in the face. Totally failed vader for the last time.

  • @seminolePP SLAP FORHEAD*

    Ion cannons eats up SHields before disabling the ship or object.

    The shileds were already up on the SD, nor were the commanders on board the SD were not able to detect the Ion canon before it was too late. Further to this even if they detected it they couldn't have destroyed it due to the shield.

  • @whitemanstand72 Don't slap anything, you are plain incorrect. Shields were not up, due to the captain being over confidend. It's been confirmed in several canon sources from the star wars universe. shields up, ion cannon couldn't have blasted trough so easily. Otherwise all ships would have those babies loading instead of trying to shoot down shields before damaging ships, watcha think ?

  • this could be cut into the movie as is. ultra impressive

  • @RobinApprentice ... couldn't, not when the whole movie is tinted blue.

  • haha.. Anti spacecraft fire..

  • A part of me thinks.. this movie is perfect - no need to change a thing. Another parth of me thinks.. man that was bloody well done.

  • Comment removed

  • lol people at the end are probably big fans of first transport :)

  • Should add TIE Fighters and maybe a mention of the Otana.

  • NOW THAT is how a planetary blockade is done!! nice

  • 4 people have their star destroyers deactivated.

  • @EduardoTVideos LAme joke

  • It manages to hit the x wing but not the fatter target? This scene still needs work, it needs a shield around the transport taking a couple of hits, the shield failing then disabling of the SD

  • AWESOME ...

  • That was fantastic!!! Very nice job!!

  • brill

  • I recommend that you put these together and make the entire films out of them

  • Can I ask what is happening here? Is this a re-edit of the original Films?

  • @ma049 It is, and with new fx and sounds too. made by a star wars fan.

  • Fire the boob cannon. (yes, I've watched Family Guy's "Something, something something dark side")

  • the name of the cannon isnt ion cannon!!!mr.westwood invent it at 1995 with c&c tiberium saga

  • @vader8211

    What the hell are you smoking, The Empire Strikes back came out in 1980, long before C&C, and it is called the Ion Cannon, princess Leia says the word Ion Cannon during her briefing of the pilots.

  • @Jokker88 no she said ion control!...pfff forget it

  • @vader8211

    No, you have it wrong. Leia says "ion cannon" during her briefing to the rebel fighters a couple of scenes earlier. If you stop being such a know it all and paid attention, you might learn something.

  • That was AWESOME....cant wait for HD =)

  • BAD ASS THIS IS GREAT!!! :D

  • Bad ASS!

  • HD is incredible

  • i dont get it

  • This makes more sense with the Star Destroyer engaging the targets shortly before being disabled, and the Rebel Transport/one escort escaping into hyper space. Excellent work!

  • @dietcoke05 For me I preferred BOTH escorts making it!

  • Lucas is dying now. But because he couldn't do it better!!!

  • I cant believe how much better this sequence is now you have altered it!!!!!

    TOTALLY AWESOME.

  • wwoooooooww!!!! FUCKING WAY BETTER!

  • Yay! Go Toryn Farr!

  • This is how the revisions of the Special Edition re-releases should have been done.

    Not all that defiling garbage that they added, changing the fundamental aspects of the movies and adding CGI for the sake of cluttering the screen with "purdy" shit.

  • PURE AWESOMENESS!!!

  • Yeah this was way more realistic. Awesome shit!

  • That's how it should have been. The Star Destroyer upon seeing the transport and X-Wings, aggressively opens fire to destroy them, managing to take an X-Wing down, before being crippled by the ion cannon.

  • @CommanderLightning So true.

  • @CommanderLightning I agree entirely, except I find it interesting how those turrets completely missed that large, lumbering transport, yet managed to snipe a smaller, faster X-Wing.

  • Comment removed

  • @CommanderLightning Uh, no the captain says "Our first catch of the day" meaning he intended to catch the transport, not blow it up.

  • @CommanderLightning The Star Destroyer wasn't trying to destroy the rebel ships just capture them, hence Captain Lennox saying, "Good, our first catch of the day."

  • @Bubo25 Forgive me if I didn't say they were trying to destroy the X-Wings escorting the transports so to capture the transports themselves.

  • @CommanderLightning lol i guess they werent too small for our turbolasers today, LOL

  • @Ereshkigal616 They sure weren't.

  • Will there be any shots of snowwalkers landing on the planet? I always wanted to see how the hell they got there so fast. Through the shield mind you.

  • i didnt know John Kerry was in this movie.....

  • I don't know what they were trying to accomplish with the special edition, all they did was add cgi where it didn't belong every five minutes. Why couldn't they do stuff like this!

  • wow what a nice video quality

  • Fucking way better.

  • Am i the only one that finds it odd that the ion shots completly bypass the ISD's shields? one would think that part of the imperial procedure before going into battle is raising the shields, after launching TIE squads, ect. and in most if not all SW space flight games, you have to take out the shields before you can disable any kind of vessel.

  • Yeah, but if you've actually looked up how big those ion cannons are, they just punch right through shields. In fact, that same ION Cannon is used later on in a book thats canon, and also took out a ISD

  • Kinda like when the Death Star kept destroying one capital ship after another in ROTJ...i see what ya mean.

  • ok, i am by no means a starwars know it all, i just enjoyed the movies as a kid, and hoth was my fave part of episode5. just commending you on ur job here looks much better than the original!!

  • Sparrowlt. Hundreds of cruisers? It was just Death Squadron

  • it definitely looks better

    this is what lucas should have done with the SE

  • I do like the new windows in the star destroyer, though.

  • Well this at least explains why only one X-Wing went passed the disabled Star Destroyer. It's much better.

  • The ion discharge looks more realistic to me in the blue because the coronal ion discharges I have created are much closer to that color, as opposed to the red.

  • This tweak definitely works. Good job.

  • Jamming.

  • I just love it! especially when the rebel transport and the x-wing jump to hyperspace <3

  • this is awesome, my only gripe is that the 3 fighter escort goes against Leia saying that each transport will be escorted by only 2 fighters. but otherwise a fantastic improvement

  • There are only 2 fighters not 3 in the clip

  • oh crap, sorry need to get my eyes tested.

  • love the blue sky backdrop next to the ion cannon definatley an improvement!

  • cool effects.. it looks beautiful went the transport and the x-wing jump into hyperspace!!

    nice done!

  • i was 8 or 9 years old when i first saw this episode but one week ago when i saw it i was 20 and i'm starting to crying when the ion controll was activated.......

  • this is wonderful!

  • I going out of a limb here, but in one episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, a Republic Ship made the jump into lightspeed while still in the planet's atmosphere without any of the other vessels around them being affected by the interdiction. (whatever that is)

    So in the SW universe, if a ship can make a jump to lightspeed while still on planet, then surely it's acceptable for a ship to make the jump into hyperspace near a planet.

  • If we're thinking of the same episode it was not intended for the Republic ship to jump in atmosphere. Presumably it's a very bad thing to do, for whatever reason. Throws the ship off course or whatnot.

  • My point that I was making to Willhelm007 is that it can be done in the Star Wars universe. Not that should be done or that it was intended to be done, but that it can be done.

  • Ah, I see. Hadn't noticed the previous conversation there. Yeah, the Clone Wars sorta did turn that bit of "established" material onto its ear, didn't it? Shows just what the writers think of the so-called canon.

  • I love the changes! the new background on hoth behind the ion cannon, the more frantic firing of weapons around the rebel transport, the x wing getting zapped, the arcs of energy sparking across the disabled star destroyer, and lastly the jump into hyperspace of the rebel transport and the x wing! adywan did a great job! I can't wait to see it finished!

  • they can to get the heck away from the attacking imperials! lol

  • so, they made the ion blasts blue, like in the novel. good

  • @Hurre01

    They're also blue in most of the games, like the ones of the X-Wing series.

  • Well the deleted scene was authorised by George Lucas and appears on the AOTC DVD so is more canon than the EU which is why if it doesn't appear on screen then it isn't canon in my edits.
