This is really cool, but, like Brad, I see it failing as a replacement for the original scene. But, I think that's not really the point. It clearly wasn't meant to be a drop-in replacement. If you look at it as its own thing, it works a lot better.

When I watch Episode IV, I always watch the "revisited" version*. In fact, that's the version I have on my Plex server, listed as "Star Wars: A New Hope" (along side the "special edition" versions of the other episodes.) I particularly like the changes made to the duel in the "revisited" version (faster pace, etc.) And, obviously, the scene fits into the rest of the movie correctly - the scene wasn't "revisited" by completely remaking it with CGI.


* I wanted to provide a link, but my lazy Googling didn't pop it right up, so I bailed for work. It should be fairly easy to find for somebody that needs it, though.

Ugh.
