Alright, the files are still uploading (and I’m sure gdrive will take its sweet time to process them before they are able to be streamed), but v1 is released! Here is the difference between v0 and v1 for anyone interested. Both versions are still being uploaded but will be available at the same gdrive link as before.
The final runtime is 2:53:26 which I am pretty happy with for the amount of content I left in.
–v1 changelist–
- Added embedded subtitles (English only)
- Added 1080p (1920x804p) file
- New poster
- Improved every transition
- Added slight color correction
- Rewrote crawl (each paragraph starts with an EVIL OBJECT and moves to its GOOD COUNTERPART)
- Added slight fade/blur to the crawl as it moves into the distance
- The crawl now moves slightly along with the camera movement as the Vesper enters frame
- Reinstated the original sequence of events in ep.1 where Ahsoka goes to Hera before Sabine’s introduction. While I would’ve liked to have Sabine introduced earlier, I wasn’t satisfied with her introduction abruptly interrupting Ahsoka’s first scenes
- Cut to white instead of black after Sabine is stabbed
- Removed Baylan and Shin’s arrival on Seatos (Purrgil tease is reused after Morgan arrives and opens the map)
- Trimmed more from the battle over Seatos before they reach the Eye of Sion
- Removed Shin’s “You have no power” so that it’s more obvious that Sabine does actually have power. This provides more meaningful setup for her future force use
- Removed redundant exposition from Baylan and Morgan about Peridea
- Trimmed down Nighttrooper scenes
- Removed dialogue from Morgan at the end so Sabine can enter the fight faster after leaving Ezra
- Removed Thrawn’s “I concluded your strategies would be similar” line at the very end and reinstated “perhaps this is where a ronin such as you belongs” line – it’s not a very strong line but that extra beat is needed
