Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back: Revisited

I got my hands on the 1080p version of this and had to watch it immediately. Fantastic! One of my all time favorite movies, made even better. This is flawless. It's edits like this that got me into fan edits to begin with. Thank you Adywan for all of your hard work.

What a labour of love. Not much to say about this edit that hasn't been said already. It's pretty much flawless. All of the changes are intergrated nearly seemlessly and really enrich the world.
I suspect the most controvesial additions will be during the AT-ATs scenes on Hoth which are probably the most obvious changes. Personnally I think they look great and perfectly fit in with Adywan's mission to proceduce what the special editions should have been. Many of the other changes are pretty subtle and I suspect someone watching for the first time would assume that they were part of the original release.
There's the odd scene which still stands out. The effects for Luke's fall in Bespin are still a bit ropey but at least we've got rid of the bizzare scream as he's falling.
Overall, this is essential for star wars fans and will be my go to version.

This fan-edit is absolutely incredible and perfect in every technical aspect. It takes an already phenomenal movie and makes it even more so. The new visual effects are absolutely stunning, beautiful, and seamless and makes for a perfect modernization of the movie. The redone mattes, miniatures, CG, lightsabers and lasers especially are a feast. This edit also fixes literally every single movie mistake and continuity error to be found, which truly shows Adywan's dedication and improves the movie even more.

I only take one point off of enjoyment because I wish the special edition Wampa shots were kept (which was an addition to Empire Strikes Back I actually really liked), but that's only a minor subjective gripe and not an objective flaw of the edit. And that's literally my only problem with it.

Until my edit is done, this is my go-to for watching Empire Strikes Back.

New Hope Revisited was wonderful but this is superb, I feel like Adywan really hit his stride, it has amazing footage seamlessly inserted, the corrections he made are masterful, and there is no moment where I would have liked to have reverted any of the changes. This is the cream of Empire edits in my mind.

Pros:
- Fixing many errors in the original movie.
- Re-rotoscoping all of the laser blasts and light sabers for consistency.
- Re-editing of many scenes.
- Complete color correction.
- And much, much more!

Cons:
- None!

Conclusion:
The Empire Strikes Back is the single best Star Wars movie out there (if not the best movie ever made), and this is currently the best way of viewing it! I could only find a 720p version, but this didn't influence my enjoyment in the slightest. I do wish there was a 1080p version somewhere so I can watch this on my big screen. The editing is on par with the original crew itself. The music, the sfx, everything about this screams a 10/10 for me. Not just because it is ESB, but because of all the stuff this editor did. If you are going to watch ESB for the first time, or for the 100th time, do yourself a favor and watch this version. Bravo Adywan and team, Bravo!
