The “Collection” feature is a keeper for the mega-nerds. Some of their takes were quite telling (Spoiler: Ewan MacGregor is not a fan). Another good one is the “Blue Screen Acting” clip that includes many of the actors discussing the experience of acting without the benefit of seeing an actual set or, in many cases, characters. The interview is interspersed with clips from the films as they actually turned out. One that caught my attention was an interview with George Lucas from 1994 in which he discusses writing the prequels. The Good: Some of the individual interviews are interesting, and all of them are relatively short. Rather than assign each disc a grade as I did with the movies, I’ll instead point out the pros and cons. Disc seven includes extras from Episodes I-III, disc eight covers the original trilogy, and disc nine has “documentaries and spoofs” spanning the entire series.
#STAR WARS REVISITED EMPIRE STRIKES BACK FULL#
The Emperor’s speech in the special edition of Empire is full of a lot more keywords, like “rebel” and Death Star” and “Anakin Skywalker.” So, for his “revisited” project, Adywan looks at this and fixes it he puts the canonical Emperor (McDiarmid) into the scene but edits it to where the dialogue is closer to the Revill version from 1980.The final three discs of the Star Wars blu-ray set consist entirely of extras. When Lucas put a new/old Emperor in the Empire Strikes Back, he changed the dialogue. As far as special edition changes, this doesn’t seem like a big deal? Nothing like approaching the blasphemy of Greedo shooting first. So, when Lucas did the special editions, he put McDiarmid in there as the Emperor. Back then he was voiced by Clive Revill, who sounds nothing like McDiarmid. In 1980, the Emperor was not played by Ian McDiarmid like he was in 1983’s Return of the Jedi and all the prequels. But this Emperor stuff does represent the entire project in a microcosm. For example, it’s tough for even a hardcore fan to wrap their mind around the concept of “the original 2004 Emperor edited to match the 1980 dialogue.” If you’re wondering whether or not the Emperor is a time traveler, he’s not. This project produces a few strange sentences. At one point, Adywan apparently tried to reshoot the Wampa sequence with his wife in a bespoke Wampa costume. To be clear, again, this is not a de-specialized edition but instead, a Star Wars potpourri, where the editor kind of chooses what he likes from the special editions and the classic versions, too. He calls him himself Adywan and touts his vision of Star Wars as “what the special editions should have been!” The basic concept here is to “fix” editing and VFX errors with the existing versions of the classic trilogy, i.e. But as of August 12, 2017, the person behind it says it’s done.
The Empire Strikes Back Revisited is a fan edit that has been underway since 2009. In addition to worrying about the color of snow, this project is also concerned with the Emperor in a hologram being both old-school and new-school at the same time. A new fan edit of The Empire Strikes Back has been released, which rolls back changes from the derided special editions but still uses stuff from the special editions, and it has its own original reshoots, too. If it ever bothered you that the color of the snow on the planet Hoth looks more blue than white, then you’re in luck.
