Excuse me using this thread to think out loud, but as the only Kenobi fan edit thread so far I think it’s the best place.
I really wish I had time to play around with this show, but I don’t. My daily life is constantly overstuffed and it’s just not feasible.
I suppose you have kids? Got one myself. “Luckily for me” I’m my own boss and sneak fan editing into my evenings like a hungry man sneaks cake out a fridge.
That said, I’ve been thinking about how best to made a one-movie version of this story cohere well with fan edits like mine that have Padme survive ROTS to live on Alderaan. There’d naturally be some sort of acknowledgement that she’d passed on by this point, some line of dialogue about “Well ever since her (birth) mother died…” Or Bail acknowledging that she is his daughter and a true Organa, but that it’s okay to remember her “real” (just using the term Luke did for it) mother as well.
I’m excited to see how the story develops for the show and how relevant Padme will be in it. I suppose her name will come up again when Anakin reunites with Obi.
Seeing as how your edits are the go-to prequel fan edits for most (EP II and III for me), I’d absolutely have no problem adjusting them to fit a “Padme survived a year or two” scenario. It strengthens the story, and fixes a continuity error that bugs many. (And PS: Fanediting is like an itch. They just cannot help it. 😉)) Some day you’ll make your own - you know it, deep down.
While I’m enjoying the show so far, I’d like to see it recut as a single “Star Wars Story” movie, making a type of side-show trilogy with Rogue One and Solo to bridge from the prequels to the original films.
Completely agree. This edit is likely to become a film version, at a maximum of 3 hours, with a clear first, second and third act. And probably some new score additions as well, seeing as the score for the show (so far) is worryingly blend.
Kenobi and Rogue One look to be two great additions to the franchise, and a great bridge between prequel and OT technology, and film tones.
