WORKPRINT 1.1 NOW AVAILABLE. PM for link(s).
There are currently 2 versions, or cuts, of this fanedit.
- Standard Cut: 2hrs 4min
- Great Escape Cut: 2hrs 5min
The “Great Escape” cut incorporates the Episode 4 Inquisitor base rescue into the Daiyu rescue. Thanks to Anjohan for the key sequence to making this work. I have taken his initial idea and taken my own approach. This was done by completely restructuring the Daiyu scenes. There are now TWO rescue attempts on Daiyu. The first attempt fails and the second attempt succeeds. I creatively edited the girl drug scene and trooper/kid/fake jedi scenes to set this up. The only differences come between the 25:30-58:00 min portion of the film. This is the planet of Daiyu sequence, everything before and after are the same.
My workprints are pretty close to a V1. I have not created the opening scroll yet. I am looking for transitions that take you out of the film due to technical edit reasons (audio/video/wipes) so these can be cleaned up for V1. May add some additional wipes to enhance that Star Wars feel, am open to suggestions. Also looking for any story inconsistencies or references to cut scenes that I simply missed while editing. I’m pretty locked in on the narrative story and structure I want to tell as I made these for myself, but I am open to discussion on some decisions that were made.
STAR WARS: EPISODE 3 - CHILD OF A JEDI
This edit will be the 3rd in my personal edits of the Rewritten Prequel Trilogy.
- Episode 1: Prelude to War (TPM and AOTC Combined Edit)
- Episode 2: Revenge of the Sith
- Episode 3: Child of a Jedi (Obi-Wan Series Movie Edit; 2 cuts available)
This thread will be utilized for only Episode 3.
KEY CHANGES:
- New Intros for Leia and Reeva
- Inquisitors and Jedi removed from Tatooine.
- Obi-Wan is less pathetic, more hesitant and doubting with some guilt.
- AOTC Flashbacks and Obi/Vader Ep 6 fight have been moved into the Bacta tank.
- No 2nd Kidnapping or Inquisitor Base infiltration
- Reeva dies at the hands of Vader in this film.
- Movie ends with Vader/Reeva duel and Obi-Wan/crew escaping Jabiim
- A mid credit scene has been added to show Obi-Wan packing up his cave and seeing Qui-Gon.
- Season 2 Episode 0 fanedit will show Reeva survive and Obi-Wan meeting Luke so viewers are ready for Obi-Wan Season 2 or the Reeva show.

Most of Episode 4 and 6 have been cut. There is no 2nd kidnapping or Inquisitor base rescue. I have cannibalized scenes from episodes 4 and 6 to enhance other parts of the film. This includes part of the last Vader and Obi duel.
Much more to come!
