I do highly recommend watching the show if you haven’t.

Edited for correctness.


I’m gonna put up a few test clips tomorrow, along with some more info about the approach of my edit, technical stuff, and so on.

Really big thanks ahead of time to Hal and NFB for making RotS into something usable for this larger edit.

Cheers!

Edit: back from watching Victory and Death, and all I can say is I am actually really glad we got the Ahsoka novel and rebels before we saw the end of the show. If I had to actually sit with this, not knowing what else happens to the characters… That would be rough.

I am a little sad that they chose to keep the brutal pace going and never let up. I was hoping for Ahsoka to have a moment to grieve the loss of everything she’s ever known. Idk, feels weird that we never see that.

As it is, I now also have ideas for the ending,

Following Hal9000 Padme’s funeral is gone, instead this will be Ahsoka and Rex’s last scene.

After Vader/Sidious stare at the Death Star, after Padme arrives on Alderaan, after Obi-Wan arrives on Tatooine, we cut to the final Clone Wars scene, which will be the end of the film.

It’s a more somber ending than RotS usually has, but it is after all a tragedy. The happy ending comes later, right now the galaxy is lost, the republic has fallen, and everything is different.
