Hahaha I just have realized that the whole Pirate plot from 3x05 will work the same even if u cut 3x01 stuff š itās obvious that Mando would help the guy anyway š
Do you think itād be possible to somehow cut Grogu from the story and move the whole Skywalker thing to the end ? So far, Grogu is just there for most of the time, not really doing anything š
The flashback with Jedi JarJar could be nicely included in the moment when Luke brings his memory back. Then, you could cut Like/Grogu story from the 3rd movie and replace it with for ex Dr Pershing/New Republic stuff (and finish it with the cliffhanger with Moff Gideonās escape reveal).
There really isnāt any way of cutting Grogu without some serious special effects. He is in a lot of shots and heās also fundamental to Bo arriving on Mandalore to rescue Din.
Iām trying to streamline as much as I can. Iāve just done a rough draft that completely eliminates the youngling rescue from Episode 4. I need to hunt down some armourer dialogue then I can share the cut.
So as of now my edit includes most of episode 2 and very small segments of episodes 1, 3 and 4. Iād also love to cut most of episode 5 but I donāt think thatās possible and that plot may be needed to allow inclusion of a parallel story to give spacer scenes between the hard edits of Mandoās story.
