I’ve done a cut of the first 7 episodes which is clocking in at 2h40. I’m waiting for a non-DV 4K source for episode 8 so that I can complete the cut and I’m confident I can bring it in on 3 hours, which is my upper limit for a movie edit.
Whilst I’m waiting for an episode 8 source I’m going back through act 1 to complete the audio.

Act 1 is pretty much nailed down. It’s act 2 where I’m still a little uncertain, particularly concerning the Clone Wars flashbacks and the Hera/New Republic plot. My current version includes both the Clone Wars and Hera/New Republic elements with a lot of trimming.

I guess the options for the Clone Wars flashbacks are:

  1. The trimmed version I currently have.
  2. A series of flashes with no dialogue.
  3. Remove and use the WBW scenes only.

For the Hera/New Republic arc I can:

  1. Stick with my edited version which removes the defence council and tribunal scenes and trimming of the Ahsoka search.

  2. Cut it entirely and have Huyang rescue Ahsoka from the water. However, this option creates issues with the pacing of the primary plot due to lack of spacer scenes and a very disjointed Purgil departure results in a disjointed Purgill departure sequence.

If anyone wants to look over a rough cut of the second act let me know.
