Hard to imagine these guys are still working on Empire after two years. You would figure the whole point of something like this is to get real jobs - but the kids who made this probably only want to work at ILM (And ILM are, ahem, probably not thrilled at something like this). I actually thought that so many Tie Fighters would wipe out the remaining X-Wings - which I always put at like half a dozen at that part of the battle. Don't get me wrong, waves of Tie Fighters look cool, put it undermines the suspense of the Rebels having only a few fighters left, and it contradicts Tarkin's arrogance that the Rebels have no chance against the Death Stars' firing power. Could you see Tarkin demanding dozens of Tie Fighters deployed as he sits back in his chair (like Oldman in 'The Proffesional')?
Or Vader scrambling to get fighters launched as he makes a beam for his fighter? I can't unless I see it. On the other hand, had this been the 97 version that Lucas approved, it probably would have out-grossed Titanic. Ok I'll revise my statement regarding my preferred version - it's my preferred alternative version. The Mona Lisa it aint, but the original version is a product of it's day, and will always be a milestone in American cinema.
But even the most die-hard fans would find it hard to believe that Lucas gives a shit about it anymore. I'm cool with that, really. I suppose seeing someone who actually cares enough about SW to take the time to make this is a nice change from feeling like a fan who is being hustled. Karl's comments about the number of Tie fighters is a good one though. Though I'd argue that with something the size of the Death Star, Tarkin could have launched 1000 Tie fighters pretty effortlessly. Has this thing crossed the line from fan-film to plagiarism? Is SW public domain?
Star Wars Iv Revisited
The split video does show better color collection than the DVD, so I could see someone preferring this version. It delivers a lot of what Lucas promised and didn't really deliver with the '97 theatrical release - updated special effects.
Lucas would do a few scenes form scratch for the '97 versions so that they would be the way he originally wanted them, but left tons of crap in that looked pretty sad. There are Death Star turret explosions in the '97 version that look like 70s Japanese TV. Comparably, Lucas' update of THX 1138 feels much less rushed and incomplete. God bless the kids working on this - they probably live in Siberia and can't raise the scratch to leave town. Edited by karl urban fan - 1/11/11 at 9:57pm. It is a fan flick to be sure - but has he changed the fundamental elements of the story? Has he changed the 'lore' of the SW universe?
Adywan Return Of The Jedi
Has he fixed continuity errors? Has he respectfully corrected clunky FX shots? Has he fixed spelling errors of crew names from BOTH versions? Sure, he's added a few new elements but if anything, he's generally paring it back to what the core of what the original was all about. The digital work in Jabba scene (actually most of the new SE Tatooine elements) never fails to take me out of the film. Adywan has stripped many of them way back to return the focus to the story.
He's added a bit of epic-ness to scenes that could have used them, and generally his choices have been pretty tasteful. Things that admittedly bugged me for years (apart from the Greedo thing) he's given treatment to, e.g. 'I know a few maneuvers, we'll lose them' followed by flying in a straight line.
I'm sure the only reason that the Falcon originally flew in a straight line was budgetary. As to whether we should wait for Lucas' death before we start playing around with this, you could say that by consistently flooding the market with merchandise for over 30 years, he himself has made it part of popular culture.
It has really taken on a life of it's own. Do you think he really proof-reads every SW novel or OK's every piece of crap that goes out there? Of course not. Also, by Lucas making quite dramatic changes to his own work years after the original release, has he inadvertently given license for others to do the same? I'm a fan of SW (I'm probably coming off more obsessive than I actually am) but the older I get, the more I see SW moving away from the elements of what made the original so universally embraced in the first place (i.e. The monomyth).

This, coupled with what seems like Lucas' agenda to make the SE the 'true' versions of the OT (few would argue that the changes made to them actually have made a better film story-wise) makes me wonder that if there are people out there who seem to care more about the SW mythology than Lucas does, should they have the right to make their 'dream' version? Adywan hasn't put his name on it, and he's not making money from it (I don't think) so where is the harm really, if it's done while respecting the spirit of the original?
Sure the guy should probably get a new hobby, but I think this 'ultimate' fan-film raises interesting questions about the ownership of Star Wars as a cultural icon 30+ years on, especially since the originals borrowed so heavily from universal mythology in the first place. I think SW is a unique phenomenon in this regard.I personally feel that Campbell not getting some kind of film credit or even a 'thanks' in the original is criminal - he wrote the SW manual - but that's probably a topic for another thread. Switching the angles is especially stupid. Lucas thought the living shit out of those scenes, there's no way he didn't have a reason for choosing his angles. Taking Star Wars so literally is really sad, and text book Asberger's.
And since when did people start wanting the digital effects updated? Wasn't the reason everyone freaked out because they'd changed the classic rubbery effects? Is this a younger generation thing?
Like, my generation hated the 97 releases because there were changes made, but those 10 or so years younger than me hated the 97 releases because the cruddy 97 digital effects don't look like 07 digital effects?

A little tricky, but it gets the job done, right? Well here is an easier and much more efficient way to go about it. One option is to connect your camcorder to the VCR and tape the parts you want. Presto software download.

If that's the case I think it's time to take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
