Looking great smudger!

Like szopman said above I do think it could use some trimming of the dialogue. Something I’d really like to see in the edit is less “smart Fennec -stupid Boba”. I hate that Fennec always has to talk him in the right direction. It just further drives the wedge in his past self being the most fearsome bounty hunter, when he constantly makes stupid moves. You should try removing Fennec talking Boba out of attacking Bane in that scene. Just have him make the smart decision of being more calculated when going against Bane, instead of external forces motivating him to be.

Good idea about the Fennec/Boba dialogue. I’ll see how it feels when I watch the full edit. I agree it makes Boba look weaker, but I like that it adds something to the Fennec-Boba relationship.

I agree that it would take a lot of Fennec/Boba’s relationship out, but I don’t think every moment of it needs to be removed. Just a few so it’s not like every time Boba has a plan, Fennec is right there to tell him why it’s no good or how she has a better idea. That’s one thing I disliked about the show. It felt like Boba was just kind of bumbling around with Fennec guiding him. He’s been a ruthless bounty hunter for so long, you’d think he’d have some level of assertion and confidence in his ideas. But in the show he’s very easily persuaded by everyone, especially Fennec.

I tried messing with that scene a bit just to visually show what I mean. The music obviously needs more fiddling with to line up properly. You could even leave in a few more back and forth shots I cut out to draw the suspension more.
