Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back: Revisited

What the SE should have been!

Apart from some extremely minor nitpicks (mainly the purist in me), this is absolutely phenomenal. An incredible achievement. The battle of Hoth is gorgeous!

Thank you, Adywan, for putting so much time into this. Many fans are indebted to you. I definitely consider this to be the definitive ESB.

The Citizen Kane of Fanedits

It's a shame there are no 11's to score, coz this just can't fit on a scale of 1-10 compared to virtually all edits out there.

This is beyond any reasonable expectation. I still recall the 70mm version which had many differences to the wide released 35mm prints coz I saw it a dozen times in theatres. I'd love to see that again, but give a choice between that and Adywan's masterpiece, I'd keep this for sure.

It's not just the restorations of lines, foley and more that make this soooo special. It is clearly a labor of love second to none.

I won't spoil it with specifics, however, I had to look many many MANY times to pick out the model work incorporated seamlessly into this. And the hologram work, displays, extra everything and yet NONE of it jars at all (unlike the special editions).

EXCEPTIONAL:

Pretty much everything Adywan decided to do worked. the re-rotoscoped lightsabers and blaster shots are much better than they were in the original Revisited, and the colors are fantastic.

No complaints. It's the same TESB we all know and love, except there's nothing left to nitpick. Amazing.

Wow! I wasn't really into fan edits when the first revisited came out (watched it later on), but here I am for the release of this equally amazing edit. Everything looks gorgeous and doesn't look too dated. Battle of Hoth is white. Like, wow! The new backgrounds and effects are stellar. Great job on this one Adywan. Looking forward to Return of the Jedi!
