the new fighting scene is cool, just wish he kept the old music, the new one came a few years after this was made which kinda bothers me, and pilots died every few seconds in that battle, their were only 30 pilots out their so..............
The only thing that saddens me about this is that LFL has no intention of improving/updating certain SFX work (Death Star Hologram!?!) in this movie....
Very cool thing, but the explosions of the (new) tie fighters look different to the explotions of the (old) x-wings... it should be possible to make that effects more equal, isn't it?
Amazing, love the tie fighter entrance. These needed to b the improvements made that would have been worth the effort. One thing I would change is the imperial march song, since it was exclusive for episode 5. Other than that, perfect!
@randomvidzontube Join us in facebook for more updates ! Star wars Revisited saga
Lucas used the Imperial march in EP II ( a version of it ) as the movie ended and the clone troopers begun to march onboard the ships...
I don't remember if it was used in EP III...but using it in a New hope is just a continuation.. who knows, it might change in the Special edition of Revisited.
Thing I liked: 1. You can see other fighters and Yavin out of the windows. 2 More fighters when Red Leader says " I'm gonna cut across the axis and try and draw their fire. 3 The Death Star doesn't have a blue tint anymore. 4 Red Two, not Red Six. 5 The new hologram display at Base 1. 6. More action in the background. 7. Correct time on the Death Star Screen. 8. R2's light works. Things I didn't like: 1. New animated explosions (like the feel of the old ones). 2. Imperial March.
I was really disappointed with the blu-ray release after watching this. Yours models a excellent space battle I can watch with intensity. Which has become disappointing when watching the offically released versions. Excellent work.
This was a really great edit .... I felt so much more specially aware of what actually happening with the characters in the fight.... I can't really give a higher compliment than that... very small changes can make a big difference on our perception of the action..... really great job here
wow, they really chopped up the music score and introduced music that wouldnt be written for another 3 years. I dont like that at all. "Imperial March" from Hoth Attack from "Empire" shouldnt have replaced the brilliant score Williams originally did for this sequence. The other things are an improvement, but I cant say I appreciate the hack job on the music score.
Oh wow, all the footage you mirrored because they were obviously facing the wrong way! How did I not catch that the 200,000 times I've seen this film?
@sk8erkid6485 Think you missed the point. That quote was an example of what I expect your views are based upon; "Oh my god man he's wrong Lucas is shit Adywan is totally right!". Considering you have "sk8er" in your username, you can't even comment on my piss taking. Thanks.

But you should have kept the traditional Yavin cue at 2:58 instead of using the cue from the final minutes of Empire's Hoth suite. I also heard a few seconds of "Attacking a Star Destroyer" which is also from Empire. The cue used at 3:42 should have been used and extended if possible to accomdate your awesome updates to the T.I.E. attacks; the Yavin cue is more epic sounding. But still overall you make the music and scenes come together so again, kukos and continue your great work!!
@Team903rd thanks for those nice words, why dont you join us on facebook? The Revisited saga !! Adywan and the rest of the admins keeps it going quite well.
I also loved the X-Wings and Y-Wings diving down towards the Death Star on the backdrop of Yavin and the transitions between your edited scenes and the original 1977 footage. Basically 1:14 to 1:58.
FUCKING OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! The only downer to this clip is the changing of the normal musical cue when the T.I.E. fighters attack the Rebels; it should be kept as is always no matter how many editions are brought out. Otherwise, you make Lucasfilm look like crap!!
WOW !!! I wish you had been the CGI effects supervisor on the special edition. Your changes / tweaks are fantastic! You really expanded the scope of the battle. That was one thing that always bugged me about the death star battle in the original release. Don't get me wrong - I thought the original death star attack was fantastic, but a space station that big only having 10 or so TIE fighters engaged to defend against the rebels? There should have been swarms of them. Brilliant work !
One thing I was hoping Adywan would fix was that the voices about targetting range were the same for both the Rebels and the Empire: listen to 0:12 and 2:33.
@xRyanTheDeerx The bottom film clip is from a fan edit by a dude called Adywan, it has been released for free download on torrents, it's called: Star wars: Revisited.
You can follow Adywans new project: The Empire Strikes Back: Revisited on facebook if you want. You can find the trailer for it here on Youtube.
also while i love Adywan some people are major hypocrites, when Lucas edited it with obvious CGI it sucked right but when Adywan does the same thing and even worse, recycled a scene from Return of the jedi everybody loves it....wow.
i could be wrong but it was suppose to pink, i mean in the books the games the everything its pink and in the original release it was pink too. In my opinion thats just adding something but its not a fix
@SuperMarxBrothers Actually now that I think about it, isn't the reason they were left out of the movie because Tarkin thought the death star was invulnerable and so only Darth Vader sent out his personal squadron? Which I mean still should be 12 TIE Fighters (since 12 is the standard squadron size in star wars according to the rogue squadron books).
I can see how Tarkin would think like that. However, I also think sending out several squadrons makes sense in-continuity. Since the end of the Clone Wars up until the "end" of the Empire ala RotJ, we see a military built upon the foundations of terror and overwhelming numerical superiority. In the case of the new edits, Tarkin may be overriding his own "Tarkin Doctrine," but it would still be keeping with the Emprie's goal of crushing foes in propaganda-worthy victories.
@downtownone1 Remember though, Tarkin didn't order the fighters, Vader did. Tarkin may think he had a sure victory, but Vader wasn't "too proud of the technological terror [they'ed] constructed."
Oh, red engine flares. Joy! I like the slight colour correction on the pilot close ups too. 3:01 Awesome, although I think the Imperial Theme should be held off til ESB. Added a fair bit of time in terms of establishing those TIEs, but more run time isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Adywan may be one of greatest Star Wars fans to actually remake this scene but George Lucas is also great for creating this whole scene. Both deserve equal credit!
yes, for us "nerds" it's strange to see pink engine glow..when it used to be red...I guess when you edit and fickle with something long enough and you only have "yes men" on the payroll something strange is bound to happen ( see Episode 1 :p )
the new fighting scene is cool, just wish he kept the old music, the new one came a few years after this was made which kinda bothers me, and pilots died every few seconds in that battle, their were only 30 pilots out their so..............
