RELEASED - S04E01 - The Old Ways of Mandalore (V2.0)

  • RELEASE VERSION.
  • Our first episode of season four.
  • Comprising the original episode Shades of Reason
  • Running 25 minutes.
  • DOWNLOAD LINK is in the tracker spreadsheet, PM me for access.
  • Note: It’s recommended that you download this before watching, rather than streaming it directly from Google Drive.

Another incredible episode that’s part of the Maul/Mandalore arc. We’re into spoiler territory here so I won’t analyse why it’s great. It’s just great.

Noteworthy changes:

  • The episode is titled ‘The Old Ways of Mandalore’, since it features a few key elements that relate to Mandalore’s traditions, both of warfare and lines of succession (and the Darksaber). I also like mentioning the word ‘Mandalore’ in such an episode, to continue to emphasise the importance of the Mauldalore plotline to my series, and to continue to drum up interest for the Filoniverse viewer who’s less familiar with the animated world.
  • The opening crawl is just context with a litle spice, plus a light reminder that Almec exists since he’ll be relevant for a few Mauldalore episodes now.
  • No actual content edits - just transitions in and out of the credits.

Another very easy episode to help ease me back into editing. But the end of the show needed a lot less attention than the start, so it was always going to be this way!

Onward to Mortis, which is a polarising episode I’ll try to find a balance with - maintaining some of the cool new spiritual elements whilst making it less on the nose and explicit. I don’t think it’ll please everyone, but I think it’ll fit a little better with the way the OT and modern shows seem to be treating the force.
