What can be said about Star Wars Revisited that hasn't already been said? This is a near perfect revamp of the special edition of Star Wars, aside from a couple small changes that feel like change for the sake of change (Electric torture needle, ultra-desaturation of death star corridors, music during Obi/Vader duel), and a few effects that look a little fanmade. Of course, this edit was originally released before the Blu-Rays, so it is only available in SD. That said, I'm anxiously awaiting Empire Revisited and the eventual HD version!

Star Wars Revisited is quite simply the best version of Star Wars out there. Theatrical is great too, but I just love how much effort was put into it to fix issues from the source material that should have been fixed in the actual Special Editions.

The best thing about this is that the movie is still George Lucas’ Star Wars. It’s the same movie we’ve seen and loved for years, only much better, technically speaking. I mean sure, the addition of music from later films and added things like a Trade Federation Battle Droid, while awesome, don’t really support this “same movie” thing, especially Battle of the Heroes. But to be honest, I actually don’t mind these additions and even love them, because they improve the movie, especially Battle of the Heroes because it improves the lightsaber duel which, let’s be honest, is one of the weakest ones of the saga. These additions are not like, say, Jabba the Hutt in the hangar, because it supports the narrative rather than hurt it.

I LOVE Star Wars Revisited. Highly recommended, even for newcomers.

I can't add any words to the chorus of praise.
Adywan's SW Revisited was the film that I read about online, then followed the trail to FE.
An astounding piece of work all around, and I especially appreciated the "subtitle" track annotating changes, major and minor.
I have watched this numerous times with genuine gratitude.

I love this edit because it brings people to fanedit.org, who may not otherwise have come.

As a film, it is pretty amazing. Amazing partly because for most of the film, I had no idea what had been changed. But then reading the cut list, it kind of blew my mind. There are of course some very noticable changes (the added CGI shots of all the tie fighters at the end comes to mind), but overall, this just feels like the Star Wars you grew up with. And I guess that's the whole point.

Pretty much perfect really. Here's hoping for an HD update.
