  • May the 4th be with you! Watch the trailer for my newest edit: STAR WARS: THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY - THE FINAL CUT.
    AVAILABLE NOW: • Every Change in 'Star ...
    "THE FINAL CUT" sets out to create the ultimate STAR WARS viewing experience by combining the best aspects of both the "Special Editions" and the Theatrical versions of each film in the acclaimed ORIGINAL TRILOGY. Controversial changes such as Greedo shooting first, Vader yelling "nooo!", distracting CGI additions, and many others have been removed and restored to their original THEATRICAL VERSIONS - while beneficial changes such as updated visual effects, added dialogue, and extended scenes have all been retained from the newer "SPECIAL EDITION" releases. Other subtle new enhancements have been added that are not present in any officially released version.
    Please enjoy this first look at the never-before-seen cut of the Star Wars Original Trilogy, remastered in 4K Ultra-HD - coming May 25th (the original 'Star Wars Day').

      @@humanice2 Sebastian Shaw is still the unmasked Vader in 'The Final Cut', but the actor was 78 years old - 9 years older than even the already old looking Obi-Wan, Alec Guinness. He was old enough to be Luke's grandfather. Anakin was canonically only 45 when he died, and his slightly different appearance from in the suit can be explained by his severe injuries and dark side degradation, while his Force Ghost portrays his redeemed and healed middle-aged self.

      I'm a big fan of the edits to Cloud City in Empire, the digital set extensions that open everything up and show more of the space station, but I don't like how inconsistent it is. Like there was a special edition change to the promenade that added a large window showing the exterior as they fall into Vader's trap - one shot later and it's the original glass wall again. Hopefully this editor noticed that stuff.

      Literally all I’d do with ANH is take the 2011 DVD re-release (the version of the film I grew up with), include most of the deleted scenes, keep in the scene with CGI Jabba because it bothers OT purists, then purposefully edit in the “Maclunkey” version of the cantina scene to spite people who say Han shot first. Also to bother OT purists because those guys are really sensitive and fun to pick on. 😁

      ​@@closebenThey use footage from the theatrical release. I think its an attempt to preserve the best qualities from all editions and to cut out tbe unnecessary/destructive additions. For example, its absolutely necessary for the appearances of Jabba, Palpatine, and any other recurring characters to be consistent and that is nothing but an improvement. But changes made that dont look good or are negatively effecting the story/consistency are probably getting cut.

    The fact that I watched the original Star Wars trilogy marathon at my local theatre back-to-back the very same day this video was uploaded (May 4th, 2024-Star Wars day) makes this event even better!
    Seeing those three films in the big screen was my dream for years. The audience was clapping and cheering, which no movie in the modern days is able to achieve. Nice work and a late May the 4th be with you!

    Just think- Sebastian Shaw was about 77 (9 years older than Guinness) when he filmed ROTJ. It kind of tells us that George had no idea about what he wanted to do with the timing of his backstory because if he had plotted it all out based off Anakin's ROTJ age, I guess Anakin fathered Luke when he was in his mid 50s then instead of early 20s. If George had just cast a younger looking man in his 50s for Anakin in Jedi, then this age discrepancy thing wouldn't exist. I guess putting Hayden in at the end now makes sense & Anakin's aged look in the suit can be explained by injuries & dark side degradation. Nice work
