KENOBI: A STAR WARS STORY [The Radical "Help Me Obi-Wan Kenobi" Cut] — Page 23

Author
Time

For anyone who is going to do their own fan edit, I’ve made a simple new opening crawl, which I have sent to Anjohan, who has said to me that it’ll be included as a separate file for anyone who wishes to use it. 😃

I have done 3x opening crawls, and each crawl has a different movie title:
1a Kenobi.
1b Kenobi A Star Wars Story.
1c Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Please note that I’ve done these in the same style as the main movies Episodes I-VI, and not in the style seen in ‘Rogue One’ or the Kenobi TV series.
There is also a camera pan down to Tatooine, plus a ‘fan edit’ information screen and opening fanfare & title cards etc.

Cheers!

That would be WAY too on the nose. I know Star Wars isn’t exactly known for its subtlety but that would be a little much IMO.

Hmm, good to know! What’s the text of the crawl?

Why does it have to say Kenobi vs a more Star Wars like title?

Yeah, nothing like that.

The ending is done and concluded for release. I think WE have a satisfactory solution (that keeps with canon).

Hey mate,

I only wrote these versions based upon what other people in this thread have asked about. Please take a look a few pages back, where Anjohan was asking people about what title to use for the edit.

For my own edit, I’ll come up with a completely different title!

Hey Anjohan, thanks a ton for working on this!! Will the link be made available on the first post? Or will you distribute by DM…? Sorry, I’m not familiar with how these edits are distributed 😃

The Edit Is Done

So, yes. I don’t know what to say really. The edit is done. Today. Five minutes ago.

Thank you all for coming up with ideas, feedback, constructive criticism and both challenging yourselfs as well as me and the community in coming up with ideas that not only would help to keep true to the spirit of Star Wars but also at certain places massively improve upon original scenes.

I’m rendering the 10 GB (9.7 to be exact) STEREO surround file now, and then work will continue tomorrow and monday on finalizing the 5.1 surround and then doing that render as well. And then I will have to do the credits (which will take some time, going through this entire thread again - hehe) - and then! - we’re kinda at the finish line.

Of course things might change in the future and a V2 or something might come along, but as of right now and for some upcoming months; I am both PROUD and totally DONE with Kenobi: A Star Wars Story! Fatigue has kicked in, and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed working with you and the film.

The goal was to craft an Obi-Wan Kenobi Story in true Star Wars spirit, with the improvement of pace, tone, continuity and canon, removal of cringe or bad execution of plot points and overall create something that both felt refreshing as well as redeeming. I, for me, am now satisfied in having reached my inital goals and the goals we’ve set for ourselfs throughout these eight weeks as we’ve planned the edit along, and I must say it has been a blast as well as sometimes a complete, mental agony. Thank you to all who helped out.

Thank You

And May the Force Be With You.

How to Obtain/When to Obtain?

You should be a Disney+ member.

The 10 GB MP4 Stereo is now rendering, and will be up on my Google Drive within an hour or so. You may send PM’s whenever you wish, and I will come back to you as soon as it’s up.

Want to wait for the 5.1 Surround?

  • 4th or 5th of July. PM me then.

JEDIT(S):

  • Subtitles will be made! Unless someone wants to make them (and get credited both here and in the Google Drive folder), I’ll have to make them myself - and expect them in a month or so.

Glad to hear you feel positive about V1, anjohan! You worked hard, so it boasts well of the edit that you feel this way. 👏🏼 Can’t wait to see it, I’ve been avoiding rewatching Kenobi with the purpose of going into this as fresh as possible. PM me when you’ve got the GD link set, and I’ll make sure to direct star wars fans onto the forums – so many fans seem to have been let down by the show! I’m sure an edit will soothe their grievances.

God bless you for beating cancer and continuing your passions, brother. 🙏🏼

May the Force be with us.

This is fantastic. I haven’t said much on this thread (been busy hopping between various countries for the past week or so) but I’ve been following it with a lot of excitement! Can’t wait until I’m settled down and can watch it.

Hi Anjohan, great to hear that your edit is done! It’s really awesome that you manage to make an edit like this this fast, and the fact that you heard and attended so many requests by the community while crafting the edit really make it special.

Some people have reported trouble downloading the file. I think this is due to too many requests but I really don’t know.

I’ve tried moving the file in and out of the folder, so please try again if you had/have any issues. Thank you.
