So, as promised for a while now, the next major activity I’ll undertake is a full polish pass to incorporate as much of the new feedback as possible. The downside, naturally, is a delay in returning to producing new episodes, but the upside is of course the refinement to the existing content, especially the earlier content which needs it the most.

Therefore, now’s the best time to give any feedback you have which you haven’t yet shared, and a good time to watch any episodes you haven’t since there’ll be a fair break until the next ones come out!

Off the top of my head, the plan therefore is as follows:

  • Update the community credits to include all recent contributors
  • Create a new alternative franchise title animation, combining the existing Mandalorian one with the Bad Batch one
  • Aggregate all un-actioned feedback by episode into one master document
  • Reconsider the ordering of episodes, especially in season one
  • Re-think the odd episode title

Then for each episode (including the Tartakovsky ones):

  • Rewatch my episode in isolation, noting any further changes I’d personally like to make
  • Replace franchise titles and community credits
  • Fix end credits to make them a bit more perfect (I don’t think anyone’s noticed but there’s a slight timing disparity in there)
  • Review wipe timings (I think I based my timing on an earlier episode’s timings before they’d decided on a different standard later on)
  • Make all valuable cuts - sometimes producing A and B versions of episodes for community review (e.g. with Bail in Christophsis)
  • Edit opening text (thanks Imhotep and others!) and titles, including alterations due to any new placement

If anyone has any other ideas of things I could do while I’m doing a deep dive into this I’m all ears.
