Review Detail

Moving on in our re-watch of the Skywalker saga. (Just for fun, this time we're doing 1-4-7, 2-5-8, 3-6-9.)

The audio/video quality is of course top-notch. By HAL's own admission in the description, this isn't a completely new, revelatory take on the material, but an amalgam of several other edits. (Surprisingly, it sounds like Adywan wasn't one of the sources - which is fine, just unexpected.) The most noticeable thing here is the use of the mono mix for several moments. (It isn't mentioned in the list of changes, but I thought that sound like Aunt Beru's original actress, too.)

If you're looking for a subtle, straightforward edit of ANH that lets you watch it without all the stuff you don't like, but you want to just relax and watch the movie without thinking too hard about what might be changed, then this edit will make (switch to General Grevious voice) a finnne addition to your collection!
