I meant that in my signature there’s a voice thing. I don’t know how to do it, but there is a tool that someone else talked about

I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.

Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.

Important voice tool:

I just used it it’s close but I think Respeacher is significantly better it sound’s natural where this sounds like random clips together and a bit robotic.

The end is near!

On review of the Bad Batch arc, I’ve made a decision - I’m not going to include it. For a few reasons:

  1. The penultimate episode of a TV show is not the time for a backdoor pilot of another show.
  2. It’s not good enough on its own, or as a focus on our main characters, to really warrant a place.
  3. It slows down the important momentum rush toward the finale we should be feeling at this point.

Ultimately, in the story of Ahsoka (/Anakin) and Mauldalore (that the Clone Wars is at its best, and which is the core of TCW:R,) it doesn’t belong. And yeah, the moment of Anakin killing Trench is good, but it’s not worth an episode, and it’s nothing new for Anakin, and Trench is barely a villain in my edit.

However:

  1. I will include the Anakin/Padmé scene in my Siege of Mandalore episode, right at the very start. It fits just fine there.
  2. I will turn this arc’s content into episode zero of the Bad Batch, using all of that show’s visual conventions. It’s a pilot for that show, that’s where it belongs. Chronology is less important than causology, so call this a light flashback. It’s about the Bad Batch, not Anakin (or any other TCW:R main characters).

The knock-on effect of this is that it reaffirms my decision not to incorporate the Citadel arc, which I was always on the fence about, especially since Echo’s death was so throwaway there.

Anyway, that all leaves me with just four edits to go, all of which will be very light touch.

I’m sorry if I’m still harping on this but I will always wish somebody anybody would be able to fix the part of the clone wars where palpatine/sidious’s voice changed drastically so the voice is consistent with the films. if you know somebody who might be willing to fix this that would be great if not I understand it’s just one major thing that ruins that part of the clone wars for me. 🙁

We don’t, but you seem passionate about this to pick it up yourself. We all got started with no skill and we learned as we went. You’ve got this.

Thanks anyway I wish had a way to do this myself but I don’t but thanks for replying to me despite not having a way to find a way to fix it I appreciate it.

Early reviews for Tales of the Jedi have been extremely positive. I’m really excited about this content, and about incorporating it. Right now we know that there’ll be an episode focused on Ahsoka’s youth and an early hunting trip - I was originally thinking I’d most likely repackage some of this stuff within a light ‘season zero’ of TCW:R, but showing Ahsoka’s life and initiation into the Jedi might make the best beginning to my episode one, the weakest episode of TCW:R. It’d be lovely if we could start the series on stronger content.

Oh, and I should have the planned Siege of Mandalore episodes out by the end of this week.

Do you mean intercutting content from Tales with the first episode of the Clone Wars? It could make the visual quality of the first episode (and first season by extension) stand out more. I could see Ahsoka being found as an interesting cold open to the first episode, but it is possible you’ll want the entire episode.
From my understanding, one episode is about Ahsoka’s force connection being discovered, another episode is a snippet of her early days of training with Anakin, and another takes place sometime after the series finale. Feel like those couldn’t be combined into one episode, but function as prologue and epilogue to the TCW itself, and the training episode as a between-season special episode or something.

The Dooku episodes, on the other hand, probably can be combined into one “season zero” episode rather easily.

Can’t believe you’ve reached the end already!

Since these are characters so relevant to TCW and the prequel era, it feels completely appropriate to include all six episodes’ content into TCW:R somehow. I’ll just want to do it elegantly. So that might mean using Ahsoka flashbacks to improve our episode one, yeah.

One thing I think we’re going to have accept is varying graphical quality. TCW, and TCW:R, have always been multimedia projects.

Are you updating how the lightsabers look too including giving them the lighting the lightsabers have in sequel trilogy?

I don’t remember do the clone wars lightsabers look extremely thin like how bad the rebels lightsabers look?

Question: Since this show will have a coda (Maul and Obi-Wan from Rebels), and potentially another coda (Ahsoka from Tales of the Jedi), should I consider cutting out the very final scene from Victory and Death (you know the one) and making that a third coda, rather than keeping it within its own episode? It is very much a coda scene, though it follows most naturally from its preceding episode. It might merge well with the Ahsoka coda, leaving us with a Maul and Obi-Wan one, and an Anakin and Ahsoka one.

I know you’ve talked about it a long time ago, but since you’re doing the coda with the Rebels scene, are you not considering a Rebels: Refocused in the future?

After this massive project I’m sure you’re ready to move onto something completely unrelated though lol.

I’ve considered Rebels: Refocused, but others have picked up that task and done it well. I don’t think its need is as intense as TCW:R as it doesn’t need to repackage itself as a more confident show, like I thought was important with this one. So it’s a maybe, but it’s a fairly low priority. I also thought about seeing what could be done if anything with Resistance, since nobody seems to have picked that one up.

The coda scene is mainly necessary here because it closes out an important TCW plotline, and really should be watched whether or not you’re planning to watch Rebels.

That said, I do naturally have plenty of other ideas:

  • Adding even more to TCW:R - the complete v1.0 is only the beginning, and really only the complete v2.0 will be the first true release. Then there’s all the supplementary content.
  • I’d like to work on The Phantom Menace. I think there’re lots of fertile ideas there still to be explored, and I’d also like to crunch through every available fanedit in order to give it the best possible chance.
  • I’ve been sharing ideas with another forum member regarding a full TCW series of movies they might be considering making, and I’d want to support that as much as was welcome, having thought about it so much.
  • A lot of editing is done in isolation these days - I might try to make and maintain some kind of master document that can easily allow people to compare SW fan edits down to a shot-by-shot level. I really want to encourage us to work together much more around the releases of SW movies and shows.
  • I think there might be room for very light-touch edits of some of the SW TV shows that preserves all of the content whilst gently reordering towards chronology - for example intercutting Boba Fett more cleanly with the Mandalorian, but still as a TV show. Or alternatively, for just naturally nudging things towards their arc structures, paying more attention to pacing than length, as in the case of Andor, released as arcs of 3/3/1/3/2/3/3/3/3 (so why not call that nine features, of variable length?) [though your edit might do all I’d hope for there, WitchDR.]
  • I’d like to propose my watching order for Marvel movies which is almost chronological but which doesn’t introduce characters until they become relevant to crossovers (so it grows with minimal cognitive load), whilst still balancing it for variety, and make light edits to the movies to shift credit scenes to enable that order without spoilers.
  • If it proves affordable, I’d like to buy the voicework to lightly change Iron Man 3 so it can follow Age of Ultron, which adds a suprising amount of value for Tony, Rhodey, and the Avengers plotline.
  • I might remake my Hobbit movie-to-TV edit, and create a LotR movie-to-TV edit as its season two, including putting scenes from the two openings set in the Shire in a slightly more appropriate order for a chronological watch.
  • I might consider a Rings of Power edit which keeps it as a TV show but paces it so that side plots don’t enter the story until they become relevant to the wider plot.
  • I like interior design and my girlfriend needs a craft room.
  • I’m desperately behind on my playing of videogames.
  • Oh, and I’d like to write and publish a book that’s high fantasy lovecraftian horror.

Whoah, I’ve just realised something: I don’t know if this is an error, I’d assume it wouldn’t be - but near end of the final episode, Jesse says to Rex “Darth Sidious ordered us to kill the Jedi”. Shouldn’t he be saying “Chancellor Palpatine ordered us to kill the Jedi?” Surely the clones wouldn’t have been just given the information that they were controlled by a Sith Lord?

Do you guys think I should modify this?

If possible to cleanly modify the sidious line. I’d say yes. But if it sounds like fairly edited then no id keep it the same personally.

Also wanna say I do hope you end up making a edit of TPM. I think you’d be able to handle that very well.

I appreciate the faith, Peon! That one’s highest up my list for sure. Man, I’m just putting the finishing touches to the last moments of this show, and god damn it’s so great. These are the moments that inspired me to create this edit in the first place. I can’t wait to hand this over to you guys.

I can tell you that the final three episodes will be titled:
THE SIEGE OF MANDALORE
THE MASTER PLAN
LOYALTY AND FATE

What would you personally say is your go-to Rebels edit? As I finish my Way of Mandalore saga, I’ll soon move back to The Bad Batch to bring it more in line with what you did in this project. Hoping to have a combo of these three shows edited that play well together!

That said, I do naturally have plenty of other ideas:

That’s an amazing idea! You’re already a leader on this next generation of Star Wars edits and something like this would be a massive task, but could be a game changer for the Star Wars fan editing community. We all definitely need more collaboration in order to make it to the next level, something I’ve been mulling on for my plans in 2023.

  • I like interior design and my girlfriend needs a craft room.
  • I’m desperately behind on my playing of videogames.

Love your work and wish you could edit full time haha, but 100% take time for yourself to get these done too. I have missed so many games I wanted to play too while working on my edits, it’s nice to take a month or two off and relax the mind. I always come back into the edits feeling refreshed and work much faster after the breaks.

Any chance you could make Jesse just say “He” instead of “Darth Sidious”, rather than trying to find a way to get “Chancellor Palpatine” to work? Not sure if it works well enough in the context but it would be a much easier touch up, because I do agree that is a very strange Sith name drop.

Thanks man, I absolutely cannot wait for your Way of Mandalore edit, it feels absolutely the way I’d like to see that content presented. I don’t have a go-to for Rebels yet - I haven’t watched the show in a good while - but g00b’s Rebels Recut is the one I’m most interested in.

Oh, and when you pick up your Bad Batch project I’ll be sure to watch along with you and contribute in your thread. I’m actually passively editing up the Bad Batch episodes of TCW right now (I needed a little of their content for my finale), so I’d be very happy to coordinate with you on that front so that TCW:R and your BB:CV can be compatible, if you want those episodes as an optional episode zero of your show.

Great to know others out there agree on the collaboration front. I’ve tried and failed to do community threads before, but perhaps I’ll try to get a community focusing lens out for some of the upcoming shows, especially since 2023 will feature three Filoniverse shows.

I’ll see what I can do with that ‘Darth’ line…
