This list is for the final draft dual layer DVD-9 copy of Revisited.

There are multiple versions of Revisited in standard definition out there, but 4 basic 'drafts':
XVID (usually what you find on YouTube)
DVD-5 (around a 4.7 GB disc)
DVD-9 (around a 9 GB disc, dual layer)
PURIST (around a 4.7 GB disc, without the changes marked below)

Here are the various stages of changes before the DVD-9:

DVD-5 Changes from the Xvid version:
– Removed the ILM crew member from the droid sale
– Removed the wire and batteries seen up Luke's sleeve in Ben's hut
– Removed the remaining wires from Ben's sleeve during the sabre fight
– Ponda Baba's arm swapped for Dr. Evazan' s arm & hand
– Slight tweak to the TIE approach. The background & camera is no longer static at the beginning & a new Death Star surface
– Fixed the gunport shot during the TIE battle where the gun remains static when Han swings the chair and the gun can clearly be seen over the top of the chair instead of behind it
– Typos in the credits fixed

DVD-9 Changes from the DVD-5:
– Replaced 'fixed shot' where gun was added to the Death Star Control Room to prevent a continuity error and erased a gun from the following shot. Now there are three guns on the rack after our heroes leave the droids behind.
– Remixed Vader's voice even further to match the rest of the trilogy.

Now on to the full listing…

The Empire Strikes Back gets a meticulous makeover courtesy of fan editor Adywan. Review: I have been following the progress of The Empire Strikes Back Revisited for what seems like much of my adult life. Fx guru Adywan (Adrian Sayce) began work on the movie soon after releasing its predecessor, Star Wars Revisited, to fan acclaim way back in 2008. But as of August 12, 2017, the person behind it says it's done. He calls him himself Adywan and touts his vision of Star Wars as 'what the special editions should have been!' The basic. Jun 09, 2020. The first wave of the release of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Revisited is available for download. This wave consists of the 720p MKV (high definition, no menu). The MKV is a compressed 8 GB but still HD version of the film, with no menus or audio options.

Adywan is a fan who has created a fixed version of Star Wars a New Hope. He has fixed multiple errors. Does anybody know where I can download his version? The first wave of the release of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Revisited is available for download. This wave consists of the 720p MKV (high definition, no menu). The MKV is a compressed 8 GB but still HD version of the Continue reading →. Posted in News Tagged Adywan, Empire Strikes Back Revisited, Star. Star Wars: Revisited -The Saga. Star Wars: Revisited -The Saga. A series of fan-edits of Episodes 4-6 in the SW saga. Non-official versions. By fans, for fans.

After being told about this Fan made edit by Wraith9 I tracked down the DVD version which is free to download and burn straight onto DVD, provided you own the Lucasfilm version. I will post the link to the download page and try to explain how to burn the files onto disc at the end of the review. For those of you who have not seen it, Star Wars Re-Visited is a fan made special edition of Star Wars A New Hope. Incredibly its creator 'Adywan' has brought the movie right up to date by adding new scenes and special effects and a more realistic and involving Dolby Surround Sound experience.

Believe me when I say this production does not look like an amateur piece of work, even before you play the film you'll find a new home screen and intro sequences with a full interactive menu. The disc has special features, giving an insight into the creative process involved in creating the movie edit.

Picture and Sound Quality Now onto the movie itself. I played the film on a Sony BluRay player through a Hitachi Digital HD projector and onto a 7-foot wide projector screen, and the first thing that hits you is the clarity of the picture. On such a large screen it is usually easy to see the difference between BluRay (HiDef) and standard DVD movies, yet with this production it could easily have passed as a BluRay disc. Colours were vibrant and crisp and even in close up the detail was noticeably improved. During the opening scenes where Princess Leia programmed R2 with the Death Star plans I noticed that the background computer lights had been enhanced, and it is this attention to detail that gives the movie a much fresher look.

Star Wars Adywan Revisited

Adywan Return Of The Jedi

There is no noticeable digital fuzz on the picture at all and I can't see the BluRay version being any improvement on this production. The digital soundtrack is presented in Dolby 5.1 and the improvements are instantly noticeable. I played the film through a Cambridge Audio Azure 650 HD Amplifier, and again the soundtrack had all of the detail of an HD disc. Rather than sounding flat like the DVD version, Adywan has managed to create a wonderfully detailed sound experience. Bass effects are magnificent, lasers seem to bounce around the room and there are tons of small details that give the viewer a much more immersive experience. The Fan Edit As a life long Star Wars fan I can honestly tell you that this is how the film was meant to be shown, every care has been taken to add what is needed and remove what is not and it has been done with respect to both the the original and Special Edition versions. Adywan has also added new special effects that blend perfectly with the film, some of which are so subtle that they are hardly noticeable.

For example during the scene where R2 wakes up on-board the Jawa sandcrawler the broken head of a Clone Wars Droid soldier can be seen in the foreground, it's only seen for a second at most. There are numerous tiny tweaks you would have to look hard to notice and that is part of the fun, where as before you would have to forgive the film for it's 70's production values, this version stands shoulder to shoulder with the prequels. There have been major changes too, the scene where Alderran is destroyed has been totally re-done and I was totally blown away when I saw the new scene. Rather than the Superlaser firing and the planet blowing up Buck Rogers style (lots of bright sparks) this time you actually see the close up shots of the planet coming apart with continents splitting, culminating in a huge, high definition explosion.

The whole revised edit makes the Death Star seem far more ominous. My favourite re-working is the light-sabre duel between Vader and Obi Wan. Adywan has re-cut the scene so that there is much more pace.

He's also cleverly mixed music in from Episode 3, tying the scene with the Mustafar battle. The whole thing is very emotional. We now lead on to the Falcon escape scene.

Adywan has again managed to completely re-work the effects, adding sections where the Falcon is actually seen moving through space fighting the ties off. There is much more movement, and the whole battle looks like it was part of Lucas's Special Edition, and not the work of someone on his home PC. I cannot stress how spectacular these additions are, you need to see them for yourself. Now onto the crescendo, the Death Star battle. I won't give too much away, but let's just say that this scene has been totally transformed. Not only has it been re-edited to give it a faster pace, stunning and dramatic effects have been added too. Rather than a handful of tie fighters entering the frey, this time there's a whole swarm of them, all flying headlong towards the screen, the effect is too much to describe in words.

Cockpit shots have been transformed and we see fighters everywhere. The whole scene is a marvel yet all of the new effects work in harmony with the original effects. When hearing Adywan interviewed about the effects he explained that none of it was CGI, it was simply cut-outs of the movie models rendered in Adobe Aftereffects, which is probably why the added sequences look as if they were part of the original film. In summation, if you are a Star Wars fan this movie version is a MUST SEE. While being a homage to this film, it also puts Lucasfilm to shame, in fact it also puts the whole BluRay format to shame.

The culmination of perfectly crafted additional effects and scenes, crystal clear picture and energetic and involving sound score make this the definitive Star Wars version.

The image files are disc and cover art, for those of us who are anal enough to want to have the film presented in a DVD case. The files need to be burned straight onto a Dual Layer DVD +R disc using a program like Nero. I used PowerLink Power-to-Go to burn my version.

Select the slowest burn speed. I cannot advise you on how the different burning software will work, but you just need to make sure that you are burning the folders to the disc and not creating a movie disc.

This is how I burned the disc using Cybermedia's Power-to-go (which came free on my HP PC) First off make sure you know the location of the extracted Star Wars Revisited folder (it should be called 'STARWARSREVISITEDPALDVD9') I then opened Power To Go and selected the 'Video / Photodisc option. Then I selected the 'Burn DVD Folder' option Then I was asked to browse for the location of the Folder I wanted to burn to the disk. So I selected the extracted Star Wars RevisitedPALDVD9 Folder, making sure I opted for the slowest burn speed.

The I just pressed BURN! And hey presto it worked. When the disc is burned this should be the contents.
