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.
