Update 1:

The first of the 6 “acts” is now complete. Its essentially the first episode of the series with the classical Star Wars movie opening crawl.

It is 25mins in length, including the 2 minute Classical opening. So I’ve managed to shave 13 minutes off the 36 minute episode without it feeling rushed. I’ve cut two big chunks which weren’t essential and trimmed a lot of other scenes to speed up the pacing, but because the opening fight scene has been cut completely, there is a nice, slow introduction with exposition. The pacing then slowly builds upto the battle for the asset.

Changes made:
I’ve sorted out the blotches on the opening pan shot and altered the opening crawl slightly based on feedback.

  1. Completely cut the opening scene with the Mythrol bounty.
  2. Trimmed the Mando/Grief scene to lose “I can only pay half” and “deep pocket” lines.
  3. Trimmed the Mando/Client scene to lose “what else did he say”.
  4. Cut some of the non-speaking parts of the Mando/Armourer scene to speed up the plot progression.
  5. Cut a couple of the shots of the Mando landing on Arvala.
  6. Removed all but the last 5 seconds of the Mando learning to ride Blurgg scene.
  7. Added a reversed clip of the Mando/Kuill hut conversation to retain the “you are a Mandalorian, your ancestors…” line.
  8. Trimmed a small part of the end battle scene.
  9. Removed the Mando “are you ok” line to IG… doesn’t fit with his attitude towards droids.
  10. Cut the additional “hostile” when the Mando and IG enter the room.
  11. Added an extra 2 seconds to the pause between the blaster shot and the reveal that Mando has shot IG rather than IG shooting baby Yoda to add tension.

Here is the link. Because this is essentially a while episode of the show I’ve hidden it behind a Vimeo password.

I’d be grateful for any thoughts and comments.
My next step is to do a rough cut of episode 2 with the Jawas completely cut out. Its breaking my heart to do it because I loved the Jawas, but they aren’t essential and it means I can get this down to less than 2h 30.
