I watched this last week but did want to give a quick review on it!

Overall the edit works very well to combine the tones of the 2 source materials. I think the highlight of the film was the eeriness right before the Jedi confront Palpatine. There’s like a solid 3 minutes of pure dread as we see how many characters are sensing something imminent. Incredible!

It all does a great job to wrap up Clone Wars and this was my wife’s first time ever seeing RotS after we watched all of TCW the last few months. She was in tears by the end!

As for things to fix, there’d only be a few, and most of them are directed to the NCC which I know isn’t a completed project so I won’t bother getting into that. For FotR, the only corrections I can think of were I believe there’s a slight audio desync that occurs in TCW scene on Mandalore with Bo-Katan and Ahsoka after capturing Maul. Either that or something about the animation there is throwing me off, maybe just double check. The one main criticism I’d give is I think there’s too many cut to black transitions between the sources. Maybe look into some wipes instead of hard cuts to black.

Thanks for your work on this, it’s a great idea and I think the best way to experience a more consistent story for TCW characters into the movie.
