Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back: Revisited

(Spoilers for this edit)
It was a long wait, but The Empire Strikes Back: Revisited is finally here. This is a great fan edit loaded with lots of new surprises. The battle of Hoth is phenomenal. The enhanced FX throughout the film are so seamless that shots will slip by you as if they had been that way all along (The Force Awakens bunk nestled on the back wall of the Falcon is just one example). Two new embellishments I really liked were the Snowtroopers repealing down from the AT-ATs and Mcquarrie's giant white spider from his early concept art of Degobah. The physical models used in place of the outdated background mats looked fantastic. Every laser bolt and light saber is gorgeous. This is the best version of one of the greatest movies ever made. Adywan has a dream of doing the revisited treatment on episodes 1 through 6. If you are a Star Wars fan, after watching this edit that will be your dream too. Get this edit, watch it, enjoy it, then be sure to donate at least the price of a movie ticket to help support Adywan and his crew.

empire is in my top 5 movies, ever. and adywan's has become my definitive version. the sfx inclusions are incredible, and subtle, which is a must when we muck with pieces of film history like this imo. the level of craft here is extraordinary.

the real prize for me is the synthesising of the best parts of the theatrical ESB and the special editions: empire with ian mcdiarmid, jason wingreen, "bring my shuttle.", and the bespin balconies is magical. thank you adywan!

my only complaint is that the changes to yoda's face bother me. the degobah sequences are the best part of this film and i love the rough-around-the-edges stuff for yoda. this is the only change that isnt seamless and takes me out of the movie.

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:
