So I’m beginning the long process to edit the remaining small arcs of the show, as well as the longer season 7 arcs. Seasons 1-6 content will again be upscaled to 4K HDR while season 7 was animated in native 4K HDR already and will recieve the same encoding methods as applied in the ROTS 4.5 hour cut, keeping all the native color data intact.
There will be 10 2 part 42(ish) minute film cuts, 9 solo episodes, 3 season 7 film cuts (including a bonus cut of Siege of Mandalore alone, separate from the ROTS cut), and a bonus edit for the Crystal Crisis Animatic to go with the Son of Dathomir Audio Comic edit. To keep the files all in the right order, I’m updating the chronological order of releases as follows. Don’t pay too much attention to the numbers themselves, other than 1.0, 2.0 releases designating cuts from the first batch that are the most crucial to the plot of the show. Beyond that, the numbering system just ensures the episodes will be put in the right order when all cut together. Only one file will need to be renamed to fit in order due to a small continuity error, and that’s the Young Boba Fett arc (renamed from 1.4 to 1.01). All other files will keep the same number.
I will NOT be doing a film cut of the Rookies arc due to the idea that you are meant to watch Domino Squad grow over the course of the war, so I will be leaving their episodes as solo adventures and putting them in the right spot with this numbering system. Solo Episodes will still get the 4K HDR treatment and then that source will be downscaled back to 1080p SDR in the batch for consistency’s sake, as even at 1080p, there are some benefits to the new color transfer.

I would love to make a special project of some kind for Dark Disciple, but I sadly can’t think of any reasonable way to edit the novel into a more digestible/viewable form without requiring some kind of extensive fan art archive to cover the visuals. My goal is to get this project wrapped up sometime over the next 2 weeks.
