  • The only change Lucas would have made is Darth Vader screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...!!!! When Obi-Wan became one with the Force!

  • This is so much better than any edit Lucas made.

  • did they speed up that thing? the old duel was way slower i think.... so old but so fast!

  • i always wondered why some jedi vanish when they die and others don't

  • The music is a perfect addition, it was during mustafar I believe , so it's fitting it's played again here.

  • @boofieman yes, it's called continuety :p

  • Interesting to see Vader and Obi fight a little faster. More intense. I understand why the music is added and over all think it fits. I get the reason for adding it to complete the scope of the overall 6 films

  • @DaddyO1701 yes, thanks...why would they act all "old" here and darth vader beef ut the battle between him and Luke later on..this seems more normal for 2 Jedies/sith

  • I'd actually prefer it, without the music IMO, but VERY well done, sir!

  • As much as George made a mess of them, he would *never* add this music

  • @Dalek1230 true, because he lack vinion in the ways of continuety and is surrounded by yes men that does note dare defy his vision!

  • @Dalek1230 Why not?  Fits quite well...it's the battle music for Obi-wan vs. Vader.

  • @ReuWil Because the prequels should be changed to the classics, not the classics perverted back,

  • music is stupid

  • @30inception so are u ! Lol

  • @MrGanamae its far too epic haha

  • @MrGanamae i really dont think this music fits the rest of the film, it just kinda stands out, and breaks the mood. a different score would be great though. also unless youre an alternate account for addywan stop taking credit for other peoples work. he put ALOT of time and effort into these edits

  • @30inception What, do you not recognize it? It's the battle theme for Obi-wan vs. Vader.

  • @ReuWil no I know, Battle of the Heroes. it just seems far too epic for a battle between a "weak" old man and a man who is half machine. It's definitely the least exciting saber duel in all the films and the music should not try to hype it up

  • @30inception Well, the person who remixed this had to use the orignal track (unlikely he's a composer, and even if he was...no access to high scale recording studio)...probably ideal would have been a remixed / altered version of this track - I do like it as it provides a connection to the other battle between the two and this is their true final battle.

  • But I Love this video cause it gives me a Canon View of the Fight!

  • Don't be hypocrites. If this was on the new Blu Ray, you would al be bashing Lucas for "killing a classic scene" Like changes or do not. There's no middle point.

  • @TrapnestShinigami some things just fits better than other things, I am sure more ppl would be happy if Lucas released the original films instead of making the special editions now the originals, what we have now in Lucas own fan edit of star wars and not the version that won a few Oscars statuettes.

    Lucas could have done soo much better with all the money and man power he has, this is from the mind of 1 person, with not much money but with a lot of imagination and willpower.

  • @MrGanamae

    But hate, is not the way to go. None of us would even be here if it wasn't because of him. It is fine to like or not like new changes by him (or anyone), but I don't understand when I trully sense hate from some "fans".

  • @TrapnestShinigami We don't hate Lucas, we adore him, but many fans would love to see the original movies..the Oscar winning movies out on BLU or dvd, they deserve that..the SE could be sold seperate or apackage deal...then lots of fans would be overjoyed :)

    Now the SE are the originals for some reason, thats a bit wrong...I guess if he respects the fans they will respects him in return :)

  • @MrGanamae

    Some "fans" do. The dark side is strong in them.

    But I'd wait a little. The 3D Theatrical re-releases are comming, and I'm sure they'll end up selling the original unaltered versions on Blu Ray as they did on DVD a few years back. It's only a matter of time. So I'd tell REAL fans of the original edit: Be patient. It won't be long before those movies make it to a Blu Ray Release (:

  • @TrapnestShinigami Oh trust me, I know about those "fans". Especially when it comes to the EU. I don't know about you, but I'm more of a Film+EU fan because the EU remains to this day largely untouched by Lucas's filthy hands. I also prefer the novels of the Prequels due to their better description of the stories as well as character development.

  • @TrapnestShinigami I seriously doubt it.

  • @EvilDarkChris

    Faith, is the last thing you should lose.

  • @TrapnestShinigami Oh trust me, when I saw the ''Nooooo'' in the bluray of ROTJ, I lost all faith.

  • @TrapnestShinigami Lucas said that the originals won't come on blu ray because they are not restored so they quality of these old films isn't good enough for HD.

  • @rfvtgbzhn

    He also said that the 1997 Special Editions were the Ultimate final cut for IV, V and VI.

    I never take anythng 100% sure when it's about Lucas and Star Wars. Actually you could just re-edit the newer version and you would get the originals. Swap some audio tracks and there you go. You don't need to go back to the original tape to get the original edit.

  • @TrapnestShinigami Yes, you could do that, but you would have to use upscaled SD content fopr the scenes that where not restored fpr the special edition, which never looks as good as real HD content and most people don't like a blu ray movie which doesn't have blu ray quality in every scene.

  • @rfvtgbzhn

    But you know they can do it (:

    And they know you and some more thousands of people want it. It's only a matter of time, I'm pretty sure.

  • @MrGanamae you could buy the orginals on DVD. You might still get these DVDs oon ebay and/or amazon.

  • @rfvtgbzhn yeah but they are not the originals, there was a double dvd release on dvd a few years ago but that set included a copy of a laserdisc and the quality was not that good. I say why not clean up the originals and add them to a blu ray release....same way they did with blade runner..included all releases + the original one

  • You just turned the worst scene ever into an awesome lightsaber duel. How did you get the lightsabers to ignite like that?

  • @TheMokamola Adywan can do what 20 LFL ppl can not :) imagination !

  • niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • this looks AMAZING!

    

  • imo, the episode 3 music shouldn't come in until the end of the fight, maybe around 1:46. but other than that little nitpick, it was great. I like how u sped it up.

  • How the fuck did you match that music up so perfectly near the end

  • @Apocalyptism imagination, and Adywan has a lot of it :)

  • I still dont get how did obi wan die and 'vanish'

  • @starkillertheawsome u gotta ask Lucas about that one tho.. :p

  • plese don't put prequel music in the film it screws the the greatest movie in the galaxy!!!!!!

  • @phantombest1220 There's a "purist" version without the music.

  • @TheHeroofShadows000 correct !

  • @phantombest1220 how would it?

  • At 0:09, the only problem I have which is a minor one, is that Vader's lightsaber sound is the same as Obi-Wan's when it could've had the same sound as Empire and Jedi when activated. Other than that, I couldn't take my eyes off this re-edit for a second. Looking forward to Empire, Jedi, and the Prequels.

  • This was actually pretty good.

  • What's sad here is that this is far better than the Blu-Ray edit.

  • @SamusMaXximus No whats sad is that this is only fan made

  • @medalgear654 Yes, Imagine how good it could be if Adywan was asked by Lucas to make a better star wars movie. by the gods !

  • @SamusMaXximus Not the sound!

  • I will only repost what Adywan drops of clips and he if ok with me doing so.

    All clips will anyways be available on on our facebook site :) alongside with info on whats going on and where to get it.

  • awesome, this give so much consistence to the duel !

  • @Anth0nyRey Yay ! :)

  • This was great! but you need to clean up a bit on the imperial march track and the battle of heroes one it sounds very choppy in some points and some of the battle of heroes track doesn't fit right with the scenes with luke han and leia but overall great idea making the scene more intense with emotion and adding continuity:)

  • @LemonadeInMyEyes this might change in teh Revisited special edition, join us on facebook for updates :)

  • Don't get why some people complain about the music being added in. I think it is awesome and it makes the fight more entertaining to watch. It also fits perfectly from start to finish.

  • @DippersandSmiles then you are in the same box as me, I like the continuety of it...they meet again :)

  • Can you post the full lightsaber fights from ESB and ROTJ?

  • @horaciosi How? they aint finished yet, Adywan is working on Empire: Revisited at the moment.

    See my new site on youtubeand then join us on facebook for more info: star wars revisited the saga

  • How? they aint finished yet, Adywan is working on Empire: Revisited at the moment.

    See my site on youtube and then join us on facebook for more info: star wars revisited the saga

    It's worth it :)

  • Ok, when they are finished, whould you post them?

  • The music doesn't too well with this scene (add another track instead of that one), but I absolutely like Andywan's work, it's hard to believe there are 20 idiots who missed the like button...

  • @TheBIOPRINCE The music might change for Revisited Special edition :) 

  • you should be trying to edit the prequels to make them look more like the original trilogy, not the other way around.

  • @grebmops why? it was made the other way around...

  • Comment removed

  • u should edit it to where it look like Vader TRIES to get them and have the door being shaken or somthing like that

  • @saintsrow2gamer17 Join us on our facebook page mate and drop your suggestion there, Adywan might even see it :)!!

  • @MrGanamae whats your facebook page?

  • @TheDalekslayer see the info bar under the clip

  • I enjoyed this much better. Better lightsabers, a little faster fighting. Music is a good idea to, but not from episode 3. I don't understand y they don't improve the lightsabers like this. Good job!

  • Wait, This is the official vid? OMG, silly me.

    For such a while I've only known about the version from TheDeadlockBuzz. I must've accidentally mistook his re-do for a complete revisit of his own. I feel real silly now.

    But, now that I know, It IS really cool.

  • i don't like the episode 3 battle music, it's better with no music at all really. other than that i like it

  • Vader: Where the f*ck did he go?!

  • I actually liked the original with no music and the original killing blow because this one looks like a balloon is deflating or something... overall though, I really enjoyed watching this movie again for the first time in years... much appreciate all the hard work that must have went into this re-edit

    I thought it was fantastic.. it was very much what the special editions 'should' have been

  • @Wedge4Life The music might change in the Star wars Revisted HD version..

  • @MrGanamae the music just seems a bit too much.....In one way it makes this 'supposedly boring fight' seem faster and more intense... basically makes it seem like what it actually is....but the music is too attention getting and seems better suited to another scene with x-wings or something.... I personally never found this fight boring at all, for anyone who likes sword-play or martial arts its actually very technical... you can see their intelligence at work in every step, gesture and parry

  • I prefer the original version of the scene, with no music and, more important, the *original lightsaber sound effects*... which themselves had a musical quality. Really disappointed that they redid them in the SE.

  • @Druffmaul this might change in the Special Edition of Revisited :)

  • How on earth can some fanboy with a PC accomplish what Lucasfilm cannot?!

  • @joshuabporter not surrounded by yes men!?

  • @joshuabporter

    Because a fanboy actually cares about his fellow fans, while a now money munching "film maker" only cares about making money while shitting on his die hard fans.

  • I'd add a "nooooo!" from Vader as the door closes.

  • @Shmupper løl

  • @Shmupper HAHAHA yes

  • Some people like it, some don't... I believe this is a very risk change, but hey, know what? I like it! The pacing is good, the action made to look a bit more intense for 2 older people, and it indeed a 2nd Showdown for the both of them. Good stuff! The original is good too, but hey, after all of Lucas' changes and edits and damage he is doing especially with the Blu-Rays... Star Wars Revisited will definitely be my choice to watch over any other, blends all the good, none of the bad!

  • Music:Bad.

    Btw, Obi-Wan's "stupid" swing has a perfectly good explanation.

    Duel:Awesome.

  • 2:40 I'd add here a little "WHAT?" from Vader xD

  • music is so out of place. these are two old men fighting, not two young generals leaping across lava

  • @Robotdrummerzzk I agree. The remixing of music of 20 something years later is a bit over zealous and destroys the director's intent. The absence of music was important to make an emotional contrast of Ben's death. I find some of these "enhacements" are very interesting, but it is apparent they are not skilled in the emotional significance of the story, Lucas' intent and music editing/selection. In my opinion the entire impact of the scene and what it means to the characters, is destroyed

  • @skershaw2000

    I disagree- The pathos that the music adds is what I think they were going for, that despite the fact they are frail, and less capable the emotion in the duel is just as strong as it was on mustafar.

  • @skershaw2000

    ''directors intent'' funny how Lucas doesn't care about the directors intent himself or he would not re-edit EMPIRE or JEDI seeing he didn't direct them. if he can add a ''NOOO!!'' to Vader in Jedi or change the music to the movies climax. than this is completely fine as well.

    that said i hear in a up coming HD version of this edit there will be a option to play this scene with or without music, when was Lucas that generous to his fans?

    and heck here this music acually works

  • @henkman00

    I dunno, I think this is a LITTLE too much. It's GOOD, but a touch too bombastic for this particular fight. I like how the fight itself has more added to it though.

  • @Bobzeaux

    sure, it is also music made in 2005 and may upset the mood of the 1977 version. however as i understand it this edit is to reflect to what a true special edition should have been. and remember Lucas himself added 90s music to the ending of JEDI, a 1983 movie. if that is okay then imagine if this was composed for this scene just like that bit was.

    also it works better here IMO more than in EPIII were we have two 2 dimensional characters fight on a fake looking lava river.

  • @henkman00 Lucas is the creator of the story, he hired directors to get his vision across... his story, his intent.

    and no, music in this scene is entirely wrong. Especially when the music isnt compatible with the rest of the score. a 30 year difference in interpretive melodics makes it a major contrast.

    Take it from someone that knows film scoring, pace, continuity... it completely destroys the scene and it comes off as being too forced, its not natural.

  • @skershaw2000

    Lucas is the writer of the story, but let other directors film the pictures. their intent is therefore senior.

    its a sign of respect Lucas isn't capable off yet he has been very focal in the past about other peoples movies.

    like i said the music works better here then in the original scene because of storyline importance. and characters. there is really a sense now that something big is going to happen. it adds tension.

    take it from me :P

    (its just opinion we express here)

  • @skershaw2000 this might change in the Special Edition of Revisited :)

  • vaders lightsaber looks a bit orange

  • AWESOME!!

  • es la poya

  • Brilliant

  • This is fucking awesome!!!!George Lucas needs to watch this;)

  • gay

  • @MozTS -Give the guy who made this some credit,im a huge starwars fan and im quite impressed with this:)

  • Very good! I especially like the new opening shot of Obi-Wan igniting his lightsabre. :-)
