Thanks Knight of Kalee. It’s interesting how much simply presenting it all in an accessible way is perceived as valuable. I’ll see what I can do there to make purely accessing and understanding it as easy as possible.
Hal, I’ll check out that channel, thanks. Man, if I could have you enjoy the clone wars, that’d be a hell of a prize.
OK, I’m starting work on this right away. I’d like this to be as collaborative as possible, so I’m going to braindump as much as I can in this thread, to get as much input as possible and to challenge my own opinions. I have the basics of editing down but I might hit places where I need to pick up a new skill. But here’s the promise: I’m going to see this project through to the end. I’ve got plenty of time, and I’m extremely motivated.
It might end up being somewhat of a living project (maybe new edits come out with better ideas, or new episodes get 4K AI Upscaled), but I’m on it.
Current step is a full watch-through of the series, AI Upscaled where possible, comparing individual episodes against fanedited ones where available, and assessing the quality of each element in isolation. I’ll share as many thoughts as possible here, especially around the episodes I think should be cut altogether, for the community to challenge.
And while it might appear here like I’m taking broad ownership of this project, and more than happy to produce the 49 edits, I’m absolutely on board with RogueLeader’s idea that this can be a community effort. Let’s at least establish some standards in order to present it all cleanly and coherently as one contiguous whole, but let’s absolutely edit this together where people would like to.
