A New Hope was never my favorite of the saga mostly due to it being overshadowed by its modern contemporaries, this may have been the movie to start the series but its also George Lucas and company figuring out the kinks and with limited budget. I hope I don't sound to negative through my writing cause I do love Star Wars and what Lucas and co were able to make is deserving of all the praise. Lantern51 Star Wars Redux is a modernized take on New Hope updating it to be more palatable for todays audiences and just what I was looking for. Going into it if you detest George's special edition with old cgi you won't like this edit, now not all was special Han still shoots first and no Jabba falcon scene thank goodness. its more of the extended speeder scenes and stormtroopers riding those giant lizards in the desert. The real changes here though are the scene 38 light saber fight and the Darth Vader rogue one fight. They both go in pretty smoothly with some clever editing, thanks for limiting Leias bad cgi face, and editing out some of the more gratuitous scenes from 38. Vader throwing his light saber was always a bit much, the real surprise for me was editing out the flashback voices so it keeps with the original intent and doesn't spoil the infamous scene from empire strikes back. Now for some criticism much as I love the additions keep in mind there's over 40 years between the added scenes and the original movie so the quality is noticeable and might be jarring for some. I also wish you kept in Obi Wan forcing Vader back than picking up the light saber from 38 its a personal opinion but I think the scene flowed better with it in. One last thing I had to watch my copy on bluray to notice the addition of more music at the final battle. It was welcomed and gave the battle more energy. Great Quality and great editing this is a wonderful cut of A New Hope and one that comes highly recommended. Well Done
