Welp, these last two episodes have pretty much thrown a wrench into things, haven’t they? lmao.
Not to tell you how to edit your movie, Smudger. But personally speaking, I feel like there’s a couple of ways to approach the Mandoelephant in the room.
If you were to get right down to the brass tacks of the BOBF story, I would jettison most of the last episode and a lot of this episode of Mando on the Jedi World. In my mind, I would have Fennec say her line about hiring muscle and then immediately cut to the N1 coming to the Palace, making it be a big reveal that it’s Mando. OF course, you wouldn’t have an explanation of where he got this new ship from but honestly, why waste time explaining that? If you really need that sort of explanation, it could always be used in a Mando Season 3 edit. From there, you could take a lot of stuff left out and maybe put it into a Season 3 edit. It would honestly be up to your discretion but in my mind, I would maybe cut out the N1 acquiring all together, do the above for the Boba show and then put in the Mando Ring World and Jedi World scenes in a Season 3 edit (although I would personally cut down on the Robo Luke stuff from the Jedi World and just have Mando get there, be shunned, and then fly away until Grogu obviously reunites with him down the line).
Alternately, you could intermingle a lot of this stuff within the narrative of what’s going on Tatooine with Boba. However, I feel like a lot of the Tusken Raider stuff would have to be jettisoned out in order to make room for this Mando stuff. Honestly, it seems like it’s a choice between either keeping the Tusken flashbacks or fleshing out what’s going on with Mando (although if you were to cut out the Tusken stuff, you could always keep the scene of the Pyke train firing on them to establish how their gaining a foothold on the planet).
Of course, all this is up in the air with how the final episode will play out. Maybe another curveball will come our way. lmao.
But anyways, that’s just my two cents on this.
