Opening
So, NFBisms made one hell of a opening in the spirit of what I think most of us expected the tone of Kenobi to be, and people really wanted to see it in this edit when it dropped. Me and NFBisms talked about it (page 16 or something) and I really wanted to use it, but parts of it broke with the promised tone of the rest of my edit (mostly the complete lack of music and too rapid of a pace).
So, what I did was that I re-made the opening in the spirit of NFBisms’s opening, and completely stole his first 90 seconds (because it marvelously sets the tone) and some tidbits throughout. Then the soundtrack slowly gets introduced (only the real somber tones) as we build up to a kind of PTSD-climax.
I’m going to be a hater/stick-in-the-mud yet again and say that I personally am not a fan of this. lol.
It’s edited quite nicely, don’t get me wrong. But it feels too “comedic” to me, for some reason. It reminds me too much of something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIKl0HwunyU
(Also, fair warning about that clip. It’s pretty NSFW and gross. lmao)
