There are tons more ships firing tons more lasers in every battle.
Vader and Obi-wan’s duel has been sped up and “Battle of the Heroes” from Episode III plays in the background. Blinking, grimacing, it brings them to life. Most of the cantina aliens now have some movement to their Halloween-mask faces. Colors are fixed, all laser and lightsaber effects have been redone, people don’t fall over without getting shot, ships move more dynamically… The list goes on and on.

Repeated shot are mostly gone (if you look behind R2 during close ups, most of them still had the Death Star control room in the background instead of the Millennium Falcon interior). Curator of Star Wars Visual Comparisons, webmaster for Star Wars Revisited, former co-host of Standard Orbit podcast, all around nerd. Jabba looks fake? Take him out! Han shoots first? Forget about it! Rope pulling that one droid in front of Luke’s hut? Deleted! Thoughts: Every single thing that I’ve ever had a problem with about Episode IV SE is gone. Using a combination of the 2004 SE DVDs, the 2006 original DVDs, music soundtracks, mono mixes, and his own special effects, Adywan fixes what may or may not have been broken. In 2006, fan editor Adywan decided to take all of the suggestions from the message boards and create the ultimate edit of Episode IV. They were great quality and tried to fix some of the mistakes he had created in the 1997 Special Editions, but they managed to get the color balance all messed up, making Vader’s lightsaber pink and so forth. #STAR WARS IV REVISITED COVER ADYWAN MOVIE#
Lucas has gone out of his way to change his “final vision” of the movie and the 2004 DVDs were the most recent set. Imagine that over the years, the creator of the film had released and re-released different versions of the film, fixing and adding some things while breaking and destroying others. Summary: Imagine, if you will, a classic film.
