After getting through the preliminary edits for all 8 episodes, I couldn’t bring myself to cut a lot that I had been planning to. Hayden is just too good 😅. In fact, the only noticable parts I cut are the New Republic fleet arriving on Seatos and Shin fighting alongside the raiders. The run time is currently at a hefty 3 hours. However, I’m very happy with with the pacing of everything. It moves like a motherfucker and I’m actually kind of pleased that it retains most everything from the show–just squeezed as tight as possible. It feels right. I’ll probably go through the whole thing one more time and get a version 0 out sometime this week for feedback.
Also, thoughts on naming the edit after the last episode? I love the reference to the Narnia series. The WBW is a reference to Narnia, as well.
