I wouldn’t too much about a dissonance in how advanced the camerawork is. I think it’s something that’s easy enough to overlook. At most you might need to add a shot or two that fit modern standards into OT so they feel less out of place, but much of that has already been done with the SE anyways.

In regards to episode length, how about the standard 22 minutes? I certainly don’t think it should be cut down to the length of a single scene.

Also, I’ve been thinking of adding a slight visual filter to hide the difference between lifelike CG cinematics and actual live-action. This could perhaps also help hide the difference in style between scenes shot in different decades. Maybe it could even hide film defects in OT deleted scenes. Idk. Just a though.

Btw, you should probably remove the Boba Fett film from you intial post, since that’s > definitely not happening ATM.

I’ll edit that out.

The thing I said above about this project being far too big for several years from now is still an issue. There’s just not enough material in the same eras to make it work. Unless it had a ton of flashbacks, there’s no way to reconcile the 3 different eras. So for a character anthology-style series like Thrones, which intercuts between different characters but at the same time, I’d need way way way more movies set in the same era.

So if they release Kenobi in like 2020, MAYBE there’s a way to edit in:

Solo - Kenobi - Rogue 1

together.

Until then, there just isn’t enough material. But I think there will be, someday.

That being said…maybe this project can take a different identity. I think the shorter vignette style is the way to go, just like the original Tartakovsky clone wars. Your LOTR idea has merit, but the issue is also that Sauruman looks so different than Dooku. I don’t have the digital editing skills to change Sauruman’s hair, so it would break any suspension of belief of the viewer.
