Mando EP3: A New Path (A Book of Boba Fett Edit) [RELEASED] — Page 4

SPOILERS

I was hoping for an episode without Grogu. I wanted his and Mando’s recomposition to be an exclusive Mandalorian moment and a more emotional one. There were some cool moments in this episode, but, to be honest, I didn’t even care about the whole fight.

I agree with this. I wonder if is even possible to edit this final episode to make Grogu arrive in Tatooine just after the battle. The reunion with Mando would be cut, but we would still see the two in the ship in that final scene, so maybe it could work.

I know I may be a pain with this aspect, but does it make sense (for now at least) to still make it (The Book of) Boba Fett - Episode I?

We don’t really know yet if they plan the 2nd season. So ot would be off to have only Episode I with nothing to follow.
Then, if someone wanna watch SW in chronological order, we have:
Star Wars Episode VI, then Mandalorian Episode I, Episode II and then Boba Episode I 😄
And after Mando s03, it 'll be Mandalorian Episode I, Episode II, Boba Episode I and again Mando Episode III. So it’s like jumping between episodes of different subserieses. Maybe for now it makes more sense to make this Mando Episode III? Or simply Star wars:The book of boba fett or more like A Star Wars Story thing?

Don’t wanna criticise or anything, just sharing some insights about the bigger picture. Who knows, maybe after Ahsoka, it will even make more sense to make all yhos post-RotJ movies Episodes 7,8,9,10 and so on.

Honestly it could just be called The Mandalorian Episode 3: The Book of Boba Fett

Yeah, that’s what I say 😄

Maybe use the title of the last episode?

This Polygon article provides an interesting interpretation angle to the series: Boba is not an incompetent hero, he is a villain, that just doesn’t care. 😁 https://www.polygon.com/star-wars/22929592/book-of-boba-fett-hero-vs-villain

I wonder if that would work as a way to emphasize his characterization in a fanedit as well.

This is really dumb, even for Polygon

First cut coming in at the 3-hour mark, which is much longer than I would like. Annoyingly Mando’s trip to see Grogu completely derails the story, interferes with pacing and adds a huge chunk of time. I really wish they hadn’t used this series to reunite Mando and Grogu.

Sounds cool, it means 3.5h of fillers and messy stuff cut 😄

Dunno what’s your plan and if this idea helps but maybe yoy can cut all the twins/krrasantan thing from episodes 1-3 and introduce him with the scenes from chapter 4 where he beats up some people. It would spare us as well the miserable beating Boba got from him before 😄

Out of curiosity, how you are gonna treat the whole mototbike gang? 😉

About Grogu, maybe there’s some way of cutting him completely from the finale and leave the choice scene as the last scene/cliffhanger? This way, even when we see Mando abd Grogu together in the next episode, it will be just obvious the kid chose Mando, doesnt need to be shown on screen.

Anyway, Good luck with editing the finale 😉 if anyone can make this mess a coherent nice sequence, its you.

The motorbike gang have been vastly reduced. I’ve left in the recruitment scene in Mos Espa, but the chase scene has been completely cut, as has any reference to the Major’s majordomo… he flees the Mayor’s office and is never seen again!

I’ve kept the twins scenes in because they are tied to the Rancor and they do provide some valuable plot progression. I’ve dealt with Krrsantan by Boba offering him a job instead of releasing him, allowing me to cut his scene in the Catina.

Unfortunately you can’t have just Grogu’s choice scene because the choice is between the lightsaber and the beskar, which Mando needs to deliver.

Having watched the rough cut through, it does make a decent movie. Infinitely more watchable than the series itself. The difficult part is trying to make sense of Boba’s motivations.

So, you plan to remove the whole Groku/Mando/Ahsoka/Luke stuff?

JEDIT
3h movie sounds very ok I think. Nowadays, a lot of blockbusters reach 2h30-45min runtime so it’s okay.
Very interested to see how you edited Krrasantan thing 😄

I’ve always been fine with the Mandalorian seasons as they were released, but I’m looking forward to using this edit as a special movie in the middle of the series.

Are there any plans for a full-on rescoring? I felt that the music was a letdown compared to Gorannson’s Mandalorian and especially Williams’ Skywalker Saga.

No, the Luke/Grogu/Ashoka stuff will be there. I’d prefer it not to be, but it’s essential for the overarching story.
It will be trimmed to keep it more compact.

Sounds cool so far 😄

I think it’s your first edit where the goal is not only to reedit the stuff to make it one 2.5h film, but also to actually save the original story, make it just better, enjoyable and coherent (like Rise of Skywalker:Ascendant) 😉

Wow, so far it sounds awesome 😄

Boba Fett has some weak lines in this show. Maybe you could use this site to create new lines for him:

https://fakeyou.com/?vocodes=1

This is a site that creates AI generated voices, and have Boba Fett and Din Djarin voices in it.

Kind of cool, but sounds nothing like Boba Fett.

Not sure what kind of trimming you’ve done to the Luke/Grogu stuff but would it be possible to cut most/all of Grogu’s training sequence? Have Din drop off the Beskar with Ahsoka and then later just have the choice scene without all of the other stuff in between.

Boba spells out his motivation when he’s talking to Fennec - he’s sick of being a bounty hunter working for gang bosses who make stupid decisions based on short-term thinking that gets people killed and causes problems, and he thinks someone with his experience could do it better. The show is him finding out that he’s bitten off slightly more than he can chew and it’s a harder job than he thought.

You would think a bounty hunter of Boba’s caliber might plan ahead before muscling in on the underworld. It was such a missed opportunity not having the Tuskens be Boba’s “soldiers” in the syndicate war or at least a few arrive at the end to assist Boba in his final stand against the Pykes. Plus, it would have saved us hopefully the presence of the cringy Mods.Trying to take over the underworld with such few numbers really had me straining to suspend my disbelief. I also didn’t quite buy Boba’s modivation or lack there of for taking over Jabba’s former territory. Anyways, I disgress, I am very much looking to this edit saving this uneven series for me. Thanks Smudger!

If pacing is an issue, have you toyed with making Mando’s visit to Luke’s planet a flashback in itself? That way you avoid the awkwardness of Mando telling Fennec “yeah, I’ll help you out…after I run some errands first.”

That’s very cool. I’ve been playing around with some lines and it sounds really good for Boba since his voice is already modulated.
