Review Detail

Just watched this again over the weekend. Absolutely unreal. Adywan has created a better, more complete and more satisfying version of Episode IV than any of us could have ever dreamed of. In the process, he has redefined the meaning of the fanedit and set a whole new standard for the community. For me, the icing on this extremely delicious cake has to be the Battle of Yavin. Using some jawdroppingly authentic homemade special effects, he has clarified the geography of the battle, adding a whole new level of tension and excitement as the Death Star slowly closes in on the imperiled Rebel base. Because of this, the emotion of the sequence is also ratched up a few notches and is relentless in bringing us to the edge of our seats as Luke destroys the Death Star at the absolute last possible millisecond. And if the sight of a loyal wookiee getting long overdue recognition for his heroics doesn’t bring you to a tear or atleast make you a little misty-eyed. then you are one cold-hearted cynic indeed.

So, cheers to Adywan, a lone Brit who has put the whole Lucasfilm Empire to shame from the comfort of his living room!

Cannot wait for Empire!
