I got tempted and watched the 2x01 😇

I am already wondering how you Will deal with the second season, there maybe more stuff that are more important, necessary and on bigger Scale than in the s01. You May end up with two Episodes this Time 😀

Whatever happens, please, dont cut the first sequence of the episode, cause its brilliant 😀

I’m pretty sure I will need 2 episodes this season. Unfortunately the first scene is already on my cut list. 😃

I’m assuming maybe you will try to blend 1x05 with the first episode of this season? I think you could maybe start the second movie off with them in the middle of hunting down Fennec Shand?

At this point, i dont think mentioning 1x5 even makes sense.

Unless Fennec is alive… then it might be, especially if she is teamed up with REDACTED.

You could easily have the crawl explain how Dyn has found out about their being a Mando on Tatoonie. Then maybe start the movie with him landing and meeting the mechanic (unless you remove the scene of her recognizing Baby Yoda.)

It will be hard but from what I’ve seen Smugder do, I’m sure he’ll find a way to make it work.

Hey, I would like to watch this before I start the second season. Could you send me a link, please?

Finally finished watching this edit after having kept up with your progressive workprints back when you started this whole thing. What a wonderful way to watch Season 1! I may be in the minority here, but certain aspects of Season 1 (specifically episodes 4-6) were either painful to get through or just didn’t add anything to the story. Fortunately, your edit fixes most of that!

As far as feedback goes, most of the editing was seamless. Yes, the introduction of the mudhorn is a little rough, but it doesn’t look like anyone has any better ideas of how to pull that off.
Random thoughts:

• Maybe the Trandoshan fight could be cut? I feel like that chunk of the movie has too many action pieces strung together as cool as that moment may be. We also already have enough examples of other bounty hunters trying to capture the child so it wouldn’t mess with anything.
• Some moments in episode 4 are super cringey but I understand that the 2nd act is crucial to the story. Is there any dialogue/jokes that could be trimmed to make it more bearable? And for what it’s worth, I’m also a huge advocate for trying to pull off Neverar’s idea of Mando receiving the transmission before he leaves the planet a la some vfx magic.
• One final thought is that Kuiil’s death happens a little too quickly for my taste. If I remember correctly, it’s drawn out slightly more in the original cut. Perhaps you could still show the stormtroopers capturing the child and flying away, and while the camera pans over Kuiil’s corpse (RIP) you could add some audio of IG-11 emerging from the ship to pursue the imps!

Sorry, this is a long post for something you may very well be content with and don’t want to alter any further. Regardless, thanks for your work on this and I’ll definitely be following your Season 2 thread closely!

I completely agree about the Kuiil death scene. That was my okay gripe with the edit. It jumps way too fast from the scene.

I’m a very casual lurker on this forum and I had posted a while back that I had never seen the show and that I’d love to see a “movie edit” version of Season 1 of the Mandalorian.

And now to my surprise, I see that it is out. I’ve located a torrent download, and once I have watched it, I will let you know what I think.

Thank you for this.

Hey, I enjoyed your Clone Wars edits and am keen to see what you’ve made of Mandalorian. Could you please send me a link?

So, any chance of seeing the alternative version without the crawl or with a classic SW logo (and no EP number) maybe? 😇😇😇

Absolutely.
However, I’m gonna wait until I’ve finalised my season 2 plan because there are probably some changes to be made to episode 1.

Sounds interesting.
What are you gonna change? 😉

Thank you so much for making this, Smudger. I was able to find and download your fanedit…I am totally BTFO, you are a truly talented editor who needs to be on Disney’s payroll.

My only complaint is that I didn’t like the 20th century fox logo replaced with the Star Wars heads…also when that fades out, you can catch a couple of frames of “STAR WARS” written horizontally before it switches to the Lucasfilm logo.

For my own personal copy of this movie, I redid the logo by putting the 20th century fox back in like a classic Star Wars movie. I found this version of it on Youtube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE5VdQ0zAQs ), but then I used another Lucasfilm Ltd. logo without the “A Disney Company” underneath because it’s redundant to see it a second time. The music sounded a little off to me, so I used the audio from the 2005 ROTS version of the fanfare. I sliced off the THX part and substituted it with the fanedit.org disclaimer at the beginning.

I have a lower quality version of the file hosted online so anyone who wants to see it can check it out:

Why add the Fox logo? They didn’t work on it… at all. Even back in the day, Fox only ever distributed. They were never involved with making the films.

Just seems reductive to work actually being done at LFL to be crediting a company that no longer exists and never worked on it to begin with.

Like I said, it’s a personal copy. Call it nostalgia I guess. The Star Wars heads are different and I don’t like things that are different.

I get not using that logo. Personally I’d just use the LFL logo, either green text or shiny metallic… just don’t get crediting extra people who didn’t do anything.

I can always pretend that if this was a theatrical release, maybe they would have. I had considered the Disney castle but I just couldn’t make it work for me.

I mean, in the five most recent Star Wars films, they just do the LFL logo. Fox, especially the “Fox” part is done (“20th Century Pictures” has come back from prior to the Fox merger and “Searchlight Pictures” is rebranded).

I had tried using the 20th Century Studios logo, but to make it fit with the LFL logo, I had to speed it up and it was too fast and didn’t look right.

Yeah, I know they just have a silent LFL logo now and I personally don’t like it. I grew up on the original and prequel trilogies, so I just wanted something congruent with my childhood memories, even if it’s not technically correct.

We all grew up with that, so I get it… just feels weird to me, even weirder than the Warner logo was in front of the Clone Wars movie back in the day.

That was an abomination to me LOL
