What Mala said.
I feel like the problems with this series are too fundamental to be saved with fanediting. Mainly its focus on Ezra, who is blander than the act of eating bread and lettuce while watching Solo: A Star Wars Story. Really, it’s a show I never asked for (I wanted a show about Han, Luke, Leia, obviously), but there are things to like in it, and I’d like to be able to enjoy them without all the other crap. It also provides closure for TCW, following its premature cancellation. Any ideas on how to reassemble this into something worth watching?
Anakin - you say there things to like in Rebels - yet don’t mention what they are…
‘I feel like the problems with this series are too fundamental to be saved with fanediting’ - yet then post ‘Any ideas on how to reassemble this into something worth watching?’
Why do you feel the show requires ‘salvaging’? Just Ezra? What is ‘all the other crap’?
Honestly, I’m not sure.
What are your ideas? Other than to seemingly minimise the character of Ezra?
Nothing. That’s why I created this thread.
This is a thread on looking for input for a Fan Edit on Rebels, yes? (I imagine that’s why you’ve posted it in the SW Fan Edit section) - yet the OP reads as a lazy shitpost criticising the show.
Maybe re-tooling it with some more info from yourself - and making it something along the lines of a ‘Suggestions and ideas for possible Rebels Fan Edits’ may attract more of what you’re looking for - in trying to make Rebels a better / more enjoyable show?
I guess you’re right. It’s current title makes it seems like a topic better suited for General Star Wars Discussion. I’ll change it right away.
SparkySywer has an intriguing idea in taking which plotlines (and content) worked for you and making a short Edit out of them - maybe there could be several depending on what you enjoyed/interested about it…
I just remembered how everyone thought the Seventh Sister was Barriss back when she was revealed. How 'bout we roll with that? I can’t imagine a more perfect role for Barriss than an inquisitor. Just change a few lines so that she’s identified as Barriss and add some personal drama between her and Ahsoka. There’s plenty of quips we could replace here.
As for Ezra, he’s unfortunately the one character who’s in every single episode. Maybe we could dub him to have a radically different personality, in the same vein as an abridged series. I think that could work. Any ideas what his new personality could be?
