Links sent! I am starting work on the Book 3 update today. I will let you guys know how it goes, shouldn’t take too long as this one was pretty close to being final form already.
Watched the revised Book One and Book Two over the weekend and you really have outdone yourself! The ending to Book Two is so satisfying. I can’t wait to get the rest of the revised books and to see the conclusion of season three of Mando in this series. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for the new feedback, Darth! I’m glad the final touches were worth it, with the time off of editing for a while, being able to review my whole series before finishing Season 3 is helping a lot to clear my vision on the final arc of the story. And then it seems like my next entry into TWoM will be from something already in movie format perhaps in 2025…? That will take care of a lot of my work for me haha
These sound really great. While I wait for this to download, I’ll ask: Did you decide to trim the ending in the couple of ways I suggested? I posted a test which skipped the false Mando-Greef conflict, and another which made Mando’s head injury much more minor to allow the ending conflict to progress quicker. Worked for me, but it’s cool if you didn’t!
I pondered and struggled with these suggestions, and I’m not sure if it was the right call, but I decided not to implement them. The Mando head injury one had conflicting suggestions from various people, some saying they wanted me to re-extend the scene, and some saying they liked it short or wanted it even shorter… I couldn’t find a consensus and have never felt strongly about it past the initial changes I’ve made, so I left it as is which was the middle-of-the-road (perhaps cowardly haha) option. As far as the Greef trim, that’s the one that I might regret leaving in? I have no doubt the pacing of Act 3 works better with your edit, and admittedly this film drags on a tad too long right now, but I couldn’t pull the trigger on cutting that segment. It’s something where if I was a director, someone above me would’ve forced those scenes out, but I’m fine with the “extended cut” release I have here. Looking back, I’m still not a fan of the overpowered force healing ability, but damn if it doesn’t make me emotional every time I see it. And I recall watching it originally when season 1 first released, and that scene had magic and stuck in my mind, so again it’s just something I didn’t have the guts to cut entirely. Great suggestion for pacing and structure, but I subjectively left it in because of good memories with it.
