Mando EP3: A New Path (A Book of Boba Fett Edit) [RELEASED] — Page 8

But I think Daniel Logan reprised the role there

I really think you should use the footage of the Cad Bane fan film to fill his absence in the series. Not too much of it, since the visual of Bane between BOBF and this fan film don’t match, but certain scenes. In the beginning of the fan film we have T0D0 talking to a jawa being held captive, and then the first glimpse of Bane is just his arm. This could be totally usable, since in one scene of BOBF was showed the jawas being afraid of Bane. Just insert some dialogue of Bane in this scene, to establish his involvement in the story of BOBF, and that’s it (maybe a few lines mentioning the pykes and Boba). In 12min48sec, there is a take of Bane’s eyes that is totally usable too. These kinds of takes that just focus on his arm or eyes could help to introduce the character, while still maintaining the mystery around his figure (which will show entirely just in his fight against Cobb Vainth).

This looked so close to final release a few weeks ago. I hope everything is okay, Smudger.

Yes, apologies for the radio silence. Life is extremely busy at the moment. Wife, kids, 6-day weeks & triathlon training is leaving virtually no time for editing. I’m lucky if I can scramble together half an hour at a time, and as you probably know when you get to the finishing stages you need a decent chunk of time to make sure everything is coming together.

I’ve now managed to remove the Kintan Striders completely from the edit, implying that the Pykes are the antagonists. My final 2 jobs are to tidy up the final Boba-Fennec flashback and sort out a couple of music transitions towards the end, which are proving very tricky.

It will get there 😃

Excited to see your work… I watched episode 1 and 2 with some fellow star wars nerds and we thought they were perfect.

Thanks.

The edit is shaping up very nicely, and despite the variable quality of the series there is enough good material to produce a feature that fits in very well with the standard of Mando 1 and 2.

Hi, would love a PM for links for Eps 1 and 2, plus, of course, 3 when it’s finished. Thanks so much; your work is the best, I’ve always enjoyed your Clone Wars edits. Thanks much! -

Hi, I had an opportunity to view EP3: A New Path. Here’s my feedback (please excuse me if what I’ve said has already been discussed, as I didn’t read the thread yet):

Use only three dots … at the end of the opening crawl. You put four… 😃

When you pan over from space to the circular space station you can see what you added artificially panning over from the left (have it gradually get lighter / gradient)

Do not show Boba getting beat up by Jawas.

Trim down even more of the conversation with the mayors assistant as that character is very annoying, and this could improve the runtime.

Avoid showing Boba getting beaten up outside the casino nor him being surrounded for too long by the energy shields as it makes little sense why he didn’t simply fly out of there. 
Tighter editing (show the pig guards coming in right away) can remedy this (worked for me).

Don’t show Boba saying “get me to the bacta pod” - he looks old and weak. Don’t show Fett being taken to his pod like a weak old man.  Just show him laying there chilling out.

Avoid the dialog about the beskar staff as your previous edit did not show how it was acquired.

Don’t show Boba getting slapped in the head during his staff lesson with the Sand Chick

Fenic: “Shall we visit the Mayor” to training session with Mando.   There appears to be a gap in the audio as it goes
silent.  Maybe a musical cue or something needs to be put there.

I noticed this in another place as well.

Don’t show Fett go into the Casino again.   Just fade into the moment he’s stepping out with his helmet on to the sound of the drum beats in the distance as Hutts approach.

You’ll save time, and we’ll see less of Boba with his helmet off. Try giving even less time to the ridiculous Disney mod bikers - and especially any badmouthing of Boba Fett “Old man” etc.

Cut down the silly Mando boarding the space bus and silly interactions on the ship with the baby Greedo.  It’s so dumb he has to disarm himself.  Skip that.   Use some more serious music.

Brilliant reuse of the “will you be loyal to me if you serve me” to Black Kyrsanton.

Thank you for getting rid of the mod bike chase, subplot.

Shorten the big rat vs space ripley scene.  It’s ridiculous.

Shorten the naboo star fighter repair and garage interaction scenes.  Space ripley is annoying.

Is it really necessary to show how Fenic was saved by Boba? At the very least abbreviate that even more.

Good call on cutting out the naboo star fighter test drive being interrupted by new republic

Good call on cutting out the annoying Mayor assistant during final shootout

Good call on cutting Grogu out of the Rancor/Scopion droid brawl

Don’t show Greedo kid on bus waving to Mando.

The ending is a bit weird as Mando is still on the planet. But I guess you’re still working through this. Maybe reusing some footage of Mando taking a nap on the bench next to the temple being built? This way we know he’s still there waiting for a decision to be made by Grogu and Luke in the hut?

Here’s another idea. What if we spread out the Luke/Grogu stuff throughout the movie? It would give a greater sense of time training, etc?

Love this edit. Just speaking my opinions above, just in case there’s anything in there which might be of help. 😃

Go watch a new hope, they use 4 dots.

Finally…… the edit is completed and available in 1080. If you want a Blu-ray version then I will render that this coming week.

Apologies for the time this edit had taken. Life is pretty busy at the moment meaning that editing time is limited. I needed a block of time to get this over the line, which I finally got this weekend.

I’ve massively reduced the flashback scenes and just left 3 short sequences in that show Boba escaping the sarlacc, losing his armour, a snapshot of him at the Tusken camp, the Pike negotiation and the Tusken Massacre. Some of the other flashback sequences will be added into Mando episodes 1 and 2.

I’ve also removed the Krrsantan infiltration of the palace to help speed up the story, remove another example of Boba appearing weak and remove more of the mods.

A full, updated list of the changes is in the original post.

In addition I’ve used a new logo that looks better in the opening crawl.

PM if you want a link to the completed edit.

Fantastic news, it sounds like a great list of additional changes. You shouldn’t be apologising though- you’re doing us all a great favour in putting this together and being so willing to share. Can’t wait to watch!
