In terms of the streamlining and focus, that’s absolutely my main goal. You could definitely get through the series quicker than what I’ve produced, but what I’ve tried to preserve is all of the most important plot and character development to make the later payoff hit best, and to serve other SW media best too. I know this is entirely subjective, but I’m going for ‘most enjoyable’ journey rather than ‘fastest’ journey. One thing you’ll presumably be glad to hear is that my first season skips out a LOAD of guff, getting you up to speed far more quickly. (That season alone cuts out 4h.) So while this isn’t just a whistlestop tour that hits only the major beats, it’s got minimal fat, very minimal annoying stuff, and I’d argue no filler. I don’t think I’ve had any feedback saying either “you’re missing important episode X” or “you could cut useless episode Y” in over a year. (That said, you could skip s02e07. It’s character work but it’s the least important.)

As it stands, seasons are pretty much bang on the length of a Disney live action series, or a Marvel TV series, so I think they’re quite digestible.

The TCW 2003 series episode does use an upscaled source (upscaled to 1080p I think, provided by NumeralJoker) so it does look good. The regular episodes are all 1080p. I did consider using NumeralJoker’s 4K upscales for the regular TCW series but (1) I found that the improvement was minimal given the art style and (2) using source files that large made my editing software really struggle, so it would have made editing way more painful. As it is, they look as good as the original releases - which is fine at first, then better later as the animation and lighting improved. The colours are all as per the originals.

I’ll fire you a PM in case that all sounds good to you - though be aware that the first two episodes are absolutely the worst of my series so you’ve just gotta power through.
