In Dreams of Destiny there seems to be an extra frame between 5:07 and 5:08. I can’t seem to grab it at the moment without putting it into DaVinci to go frame by frame. Side note, I’m not sure I like the way you changed aspect ratios, I feel like cropping it would probably look the best. One final criticism is that I feel like the ending is out of place if the intent is for this content to be watched in chronological order. I could understand the perspective of seeing it as a cliffhanger tease but it just doesn’t work for me. Both of those are just my personal preference and I’m sure others feel differently. Overall, I love what you’ve done with those pieces of content.
Good catch on that frame, I’m re-rendering now.
This one’s a bit tricky, since the sources here have two different framerates. I’ve done what I can to minimise it, but there is a little interpolation in the FoD content that might be noticeable. Hopefully most of it will look like normal motion blur.
As for the aspect ratios, since the episode is inherently weird with the mixing of styles, I think I’m more inclined to lean into it than try to mitigate it. I think it’s more respectful to the original content this way. If I were to do anything with aspect ratios, it would be to zoom the final scene, so that that moment of Ahsoka with Rex has the ‘dreamlike’ aspect of the other shorts, adding to the mystery of whether or not it’s real.
As for the inclusion of the last scene, it’s a tricky call. It does spoil that Ahsoka survives most of the Clone Wars, something that was much more of a mystery throughout its run (and into the finale of the first season of Rebels). However, (1) it’s kind of necessary as a capper to the bridging story, and (2) with all the current Ahsoka content (and a show coming out called AHSOKA), I think that horse has bolted, and we’re going to have to accept that she’s a known survivor. I think mitigating it via having a viewing note warning of a minor spoiler is the best middle ground.
