Clone Wars Movie Series - Episodes (Seasons) I to V released... — Page 15

I must admit I’m not as convinced as I was for the first 4 edit-movies. The middle part doesn’t work that well, too many dialogues still contain the time factor that time has been passing by, but the idea of making everything happening in a row is very good though, I just think more should have been cut to accomodate it. The same goes with spider-Maul, maybe trimming more to directly make the encounter with Savage happen in the main lair (which means getting rid of the fight and most of the Lord of the rings 3 rip-off) would have been better. And I kinda miss the fact that the story goes too far away from Ventress and that we don’t get to see more of her bounty hunter life. It seems kinda dry without that substory, especially since it’s quite important in the season 5 finale. I believe cutting more of the repetitive stuff would have allowed the running time to contain more of the Ventress bounty hunter material, which should get the focus on. Maul, Savage, even Dooku aren’t very interesting. Ventress and the nightsisters are.

Sorry for the mixed review Smudger 😕

No need to apologize!

I looked long and hard at the Ventress bounty episode, but the fact that it’s a totally separate story made it impossible to include whilst maintaining a flowing narrative. So in the end I compromised by just including the two cantina scenes, which at least shows you what she’s up to post Dathomir.

As for the Maul/Savage stuff. I cut the fire breathers scene and trimmed Maul’s introduction. Trimming more would have affected the pacing IMO.

Yeah you shouldn’t feel bad, you could always pull out the old blurays if you wanna catch up on those stories. It’s not like there being taken away. 😉 This is just Lucky Charms without all the purple horseshoes when the original is still in the breakfast aisle. 😃

I was wondering Smudger, if you ever planned to make new cover art for episode 1 2 and 3?

I like the new format for covers, but the 3 disembodied heads really clash with the two new ones.

Of course if anyone else has made custom covers and is willing to share, I’d like to see them too.

Just now came looking to see if Ep V was out yet.

…And score! Downloading from the Spleen now.

Is there a quality difference between the 1080p version and the bluray version by the way ? Usually I take the bluray version for the extras and a better video-audio quality, but bigger doesn’t always mean better. Just to know.

That’s being said, I would love a link to get Ep I and “fixed” Ep IV bluray 😃

Me and the boys are pumped for this, yes episode I, yes late to the party, but still pumped after the trailer. We tried the BluRay version, but always got hit with an error of an incomplete archive (@165). 1080 is working, though. Thanks smudger!

Whatever happened to this?  Anything?  I’ve been looking everywhere and it’s not uploaded yet.

I haven’t watched the Clone Wars because of the childish aspect to it, so really looking forward to this!

It’s now available. The download files will be up on Fanedit.info on Monday. If you cant wait that long PM me your email and I’ll send you the file for JDownloader.

Alternatively there is a streamable version on vimeo. Password is my username.

Episodes I to V may well be available on FanEdit•info (as smudger stated). If not, or there is an error, it may be worth reporting it at FanEdit•info - or asking them to re-upload them.

So, a bit of a sad update on this project.

My external hard drive recently gave up the ghost and took all my “in progress” projects and completed project files with it. Unfortunately I just don’t have the heart to redo the work I lost, especially as life has got a bit busy recently with a job change, house move and deciding to do a half iron man.

To top it all off Vimeo has just shut down my account because my videos contains copyrighted sources.

So that’s probably the end of these movies I think. My current plan is to take time away from editing and then focus on the live action TV shows… The Mandalorian should be great source material for a few movies.

Maybe when season 7 rolls around it’ll get you hype and maybe want to try again. Sometimes when something I lose interest in and over time something involving that thing makes a comeback my hype gear gets going and I’m loving it all over again.

All my life as I looked away to the future, to the horizon. Never in my mind did I know where I was, what I was doing.

Smudger, that’s tragic, this has been a wonderful project for a long time. Totally understandable that you’d want to drop it after these frustrations, but I’d like to echo the request that you share all you can about your plans. If you’re willing, I’m sure there’d be plenty in the community who’d consider picking up the flag (myself included, in the medium term) and perhaps this could become a community project.

I’m just echoing what’s already been suggested, +1ing that idea.

I’m about to have the time and setup to start pursuing a PC-based hobby, and I had thought about getting into fanediting, having been a big consumer for a decade or so. And I’ve been a fan of Smudger’s Clone Wars edits for that long too, advocating them for friends and making guides on what he’s done and where it fits. I can’t promise the community that I’d get to making any edits myself, but I would certainly love to help keep the momentum up on these at the very least, in Smudger’s stead.
