VIDEO



1 - Star Wars Logo: originally it receded way too quickly so this has been slowed down to match the speed in the rest of the saga.

2 - The crawl appears slightly earlier now, as it did pre ANH, so it appears at the correct music cue that Williams’ intended, and how I remember it.

3 - As the camera pans down to Tatooine you now see the 3 moons instead of just 2

4 - Tatooine now rotates slightly as the ships fly overhead

5 - Re-coloured all lasers

6 - Removed the horrible blue hazing as the stardestroyers engine come into view

7 - Changed the explosion as the Tantive IV is hit to remove a lot of the smoke.

8 - Added a jerk to the motion of the Tantive IV as it is hit

9 - Speeded up the star field in that shot so the Tantive IV seems to be moving as fast as it did in previous shots.

10 - Colour correction of the whole film to remove the blue tint. The Tantive IV’s walls are now white.

11 - Re-coloured R2’s dome lights throughout the movie so they match closer to the rest of the saga. The front light now blinks from red to blue.

12 - Re-edited the Tantive IV corridor battle to fix continuity issues where troopers die more than once.

13- Added blaster flashes to all blasters that have them missing as they fire.

14 - Added blast flashes to the troopers where they are hit

15 - Corrected issues where the blasters flash as if they were fired on set but no laser bolts were present. Added the lasers to fix this throughout.

16 - Fixed the jump cut where 3PO & R2 cross the corridor on the Tantive IV & the doorway explodes.

17 - When Vader enters the Tantive IV a Stormtrooper lets go of the head of a dead trooper but that you can see that the actor slowly lowers his head. This has been fixed and the troopers head now drops at speed more like a dead body.

18 - Added blinking lights to Vader’s chest plate

19 - Vader’s eyes re-coloured to remove the red tint.

20 - When 3PO is looking for R2 a trooper falls to the floor behind him as if he has been shot but there is no laser fire. Added some lasers & a flash as the trooper is hit.

21 - Smoothed / fixed the jump cut as R2 extends his third leg and heads for 3PO & the one where he leaves 3PO

22 - Fixed the error in the scene where Vader is strangling Antilles the trooper in the background changes position in one shot. Originally his legs are closed and his blaster is in a totally different position.

23 - Fixed an FX issue when Leia is hit by the stun blaster the glow effect is missing on part of her dress.

24 - In the scene where R2 presses the button to open the pod door you now see his arm retract

25 - Re-coloured the interior of the escape pod to blue due to continuity issues in this scene.

26 - As the escape pod blasts off it now begins to rotate as it does in the rest of the shots

27 - When the imperial commander says “hold your fire” the trajectory of the escape pod has been changed so it is heading downwards and away from the ship instead or just heading straight which caused a continuity error in the next shot as we see the underbelly of the stardestroyer , which means it was heading downwards.

28 - Changed the stars & stardestroyer view from inside the pod so the ship & stars now recede at different rates

29 - You now see the escape pod enter the atmosphere of Tatooine.

30 - Every FX shot has been either touched up or redone in some form or another, but too many to mention every one.

31 - On Tatooine the escape pod canopy has been re-coloured to remove the odd blue colour

32 - In the some scenes the sky has been changed to match other shots.

33 - Added the sandcrawler from the OUT to replace the static shots when 3P0 thinks he is rescued

34 - Completely new canyon wipe so the rocky surroundings that R2 travels through matches closer to what Tatooine looks like in the PT. Also brightened the scene slightly

35 - Fixed a shot of R2 after he is captured where you see the mark of a restraining bolt before it is attached. In some previous shots it is also somewhat visible but I was unable to fix this.

36 - Fixed a placement continuity error with the restraining bolt that the Jawas fix to R2

37 - Added a battle droid to the scrap inside the Sandcrawler. Also brightened up the inside scenes Fixed

38 - Fixed R2’s eye dome in the shot inside the sandcrawler where it looks like you can see Kenny Baker inside.

39 - Inside the sandcrawler 3PO’s eyes blink as he stands. Fixed

40 - Re-coloured the sky in the SE shots of the sandtroopers & Sandcrawler so the colour the sky is less saturated and closer matches the sky we see at the homestead.

41 - When Beru calls to Luke as they are about to inspect the droids, bushes appear & disappear from shot to shot. Removed the bushes from the shots of Luke to fix this error.

42 - Removed a wire visible coming out of 3PO’s neck while Owen talks to him at the sale

43 - Removed the repeated shot of R2 & the red R5 unit to fix a continuity error. Replaced with a new shot.

44 - Fixed the pink sky effect just before this scene fades out.

45 - Added the missing glow from R2’s holo light in the garage.

46 - Brightened & desiderated the sunset scene.

47 - Fixed the colour problem in the shot where 3PO jumps as Luke activates the restraining bolt in the garage. In the 2004 DVDs this shot was sepia. An example of some very bad colour problems with these DVDs.

48 - As Luke races out of the Garage to use his macrobinoculars I have added 3PO running out of the doorway to fix an error that he suddenly appears out of nowhere.

49 - New macrobinocular graphics that add in 3PO. All other macrobinocular graphics changed too.

50 - Removed the droids tracks from a previous take make it look like it is being pulled along by a cord.

51 - When Owen shouts Luke the Treadwell droid is in a totally different place than the previous shot and a fly lands on the camera lens. Fixed both issues.

52 - In the shot where the Tusken raiders see Luke’s speeder travelling through the canyon the speeder suddenly seems to speed up towards the end and looks unnatural. Recomposited the speeder to fix this.

53 - Re-coloured the sky in some shots when Ben rescues Luke so it is more blue instead of very grey/ white, which it isn’t in the shot where Ben scares the Tusken raiders.

54 - Smoothed the jump cut where Luke ignites the sabre in Obi-Wan’s hut

55 - Added the missing ornament on Ben’s table in the shot of Leia’s hologram.

56 -Added the missing cloak on the wall behind Luke as he ignites the sabre.

57 - Re-edited the whole “Ben’s Home” not only to fix the continuity errors but also because the conversation about the force and Luke’s father is now all together and flows better instead of being split into 2 separate conversations. It now starts off with the viewing of the hologram and fixes the continuity problems.

58 - Added a new death Star sequence prior to the conference room scene to give the death star a better reveal. It now orbits a planet in all shots up until it is reported that it is fully operational.

59 - Changed the torture droids syringe arm. Removed the writings and added a laser effect.

60 - Mos Eisley approach re-edited. Removed some of the creatures on the first shot & extended the path of the landspeeder so it now fully enters the town.

62 - Removed the probe droid hit but the worker droid.

63 - Removed both Rontos from the checkpoint scene.

64 - Removed the probe droid from this scene also

69 -More facial movements & blinks for Greedo

70 -HAN SHOOTS FIRST!! Greedo no longer shoots either.

71 - Removed the Jabba scene

72 - As they approach docking bay 94 you see R2 at the side of 3PO but as the camera pans and he goes out of shot you suddenly see him appear again from a different direction, which would be impossible for him to appear so quickly. Fixed this error

73 - Re-added the fade wipe as they approach the falcon.

74 - Added the falcons dish in the docking bay shot and expanded the docking bay.

75 – Slightly re-edited the docking bay shootout to fix some continuity issues

76 - Fixed the issues with Hans “wobbly” wrist as he fires

77 - Added the missing middle strut to all the Falcons cockpit window scenes.

78 - Added the blue glow back to the Falcons engines.

79 - As the falcon escapes Tatooine it now actually does some manoeuvres instead of “listing lazily to the left”

80 - New Alderaan for all the viewscreen shots

81 - New Alderaan explosion

86 - Added the colour to the remotes laser that was missing from the 2004 DVD’s

87 - In the scene where Vader says “I told you she would never….” he gestures after he has stopped talking. This has been fixed.

88 - More asteroids when the Falcon reaches the Alderaan system

89 - New docking bays for exterior shots to match the new interior ones.

90 - Removed the blue screen pole that is visible as the Falcon enters the docking bay and the girder crane in the top left which isn’t there when you see the interior of the docking bay

91 - Added a glow to the shield light to all shots of the docking bay interior.

92 - Added the censored shot of the officer being hit as they break into the control room.

93 - Re-coloured the displays in the control room so they are no longer black & white

94 - The Death Star’s interiors are now metallic grey instead of the horrible blue.

95 - When Han, Luke & chewy wait at the elevator a trooper walks past them wearing a light coloured uniform but in the next shot it is a dark uniform. Re-coloured the light uniform to fix this.

96 - Added the censored shot of the officer being hit in the detention cell shootout.

97 - In the final shots of this sequence a trooper falls down the stairs but only the scenery was hit. The trooper now gets hit.

98 - In the scene where the stormtroopers are about to blast their way into the detention cell, the elevator door has visible signs that it has been rigged for to blast apart and looks a mess. Fixed this issue.

99 - New tractor beam matte shots.

100 - Recomposited the SE shot of the many stormtroopers as Han chases them to look more natural

101 - New wider shot of Luke & Leia as they swing across the chasm. They now look to be a lot higher up.

102 - Re-edited the lightsabre duel to give it a faster pace

105 - As Han & chewy reach the docking bay you can see the shadows of Luke & Leia awaiting their cue. Removed the shadows.

106 - Replaced the dummy of Ben as Vader kills him. You now see his face and Vader actually slices through him and you see him disappear.

108 - When Luke blasts the control panel the door blast door closes, but in the next shot it closes again. This has been fixed.

109 - As the Falcon leaves the docking bay it originally left very slowly even though the engines ignite and it should have accelerated faster. It does now.

118 - The Falcon now can be seen exiting hyperspace as it approaches Yavin.
