New Trailer For Adywan’s Empire Strikes Back Revisited!
Many of you have probably heard of Star Wars The Phantom Edit. The Phantom Edit is a fan edited version of The Phantom Menace. Why edit the movie? Because many of you have the talents and abilities to do so. Many people didn’t like Star Wars Episode I, so they have since edited the movie the way they like it, usually featuring less Jar Jar.
While tracking down some fan edits of The Phantom Menace (after watching Star Wars Episode I – The Rise of the Sith by Slumberland) I came across what I consider to be the best fan edited movie I have ever seen. The guy goes by the name Adywan. I learned about this guy while visiting the forums at originaltrilogy.com.
This guy created his own edit of Star Wars A New Hope named Star Wars Revisited. He has re-edited scenes, added music, added planets and many special effects. The end battle scene at the death star is stunning. I highly recommend that you torrent Star Wars Revisited and watch it for yourself. I got mine in xvid format at mininova.org. I would like to state, however, that you should legally own a copy of Star Wars ANH before downloading the torrent. Who doesn’t?

I just came across a new trailer for Empire Strikes Back Revisited. There is also a forum discussing the new edit you can find here. My hopes are pretty high for this one and I am certain the quality will be just as good, if not better, than Star Wars Revisited. Adywan, you’re a bloody genius!

Adywan’s A New Hope Revisited is now my definitive copy of Episode IV, and I fully expect his Episodes V and VI to be as well respectively.
Currently, The Phantom Editor’s ‘Phantom Edit’ and ‘Attack of the Phantom’ are also genius, and are the only ones I watch for Episodes I & II. Of course, I own all of Lucas’ versions that he has released on VHS and DVD. I owe the man my childhood and give him his money.
Adywan has stated that he is anxious to do Episode I (and I then presume II and III) and if he uses the Phantom Editor’s work as a template, they’ll be amazing.
the only shame is, I can’t get them in Blu Ray!:(

Hi,
I just saw “Star Wars Revisited” and loved everything you have done. One question – why does Luke still say “Carrie” instead of “Leia” after he gets back from blowing up the Death Star?

I am so excited for this thing to come out. I just watched Star Wars Revisited last week and still can’t believe how good it is! Has anyone heard a definitive date on the release of Empire Strikes Back revisited?

Rick, I think it’s still strongly debated whether Luke says “Carrie” or just “shouts from excitement”. It sounds to me like he’s just shouting, so I wouldn’t change it.
