I have a question about your book 3. I have never watched Mando Season 3, I dont intend to, I’m going to watch your cuts for the rest of the series. You put Grogu’s rescue by Luke in book 4, right? Watching that trailer, and maybe I’m wrong you can tell me, If I am looking correctly, do you move some of the Mando Season 3 Grogu content to /before/ he is captured by Gideon/rescued by Luke? Or maybe I am just confused. But if you did and it works, that would actually be a great way to salvage some of that S3 Grogu content.

Well thanks, I’m glad you enjoy my edits enough to do that! Yes, Grogu is rescued by Luke at the end of Book 4. I’ve got clips from Book of Boba interspersed throughout my saga, so if you’ve not seen that show perhaps those are the clips you are unfamiliar with? There are a few complications with using Season 3 footage early on, mostly to do with costumes/armor as it is acquired at certain points in the story. But I have just a couple of Season 3 shots in the early films, I don’t think any of it is Grogu though. If there’s a specific scene you have in mind I’ll be happy to tell you where it’s from though, I know this footage inside and out by now

I have watched Boba Fett, there was just stuff I didnt recognize in your Book 3 trailer that I assumed was Season 3. It’s been some time since I watched Season 2, I only watched it once since it released, maybe I’m just not remembering it (for example I didnt recognize that shot of the structure on the ocean blowing up)

Ah, so that structure explosion scene that you mentioned… Yes, it’s from the whole episode on Trask (the water planet), but I altered the speed/scale of the scene, the coloring grading, and custom-made the explosion soundtrack so that might be why it wasn’t as immediately recognizable.

Sounds great though. Will the links I received for the old versions be updated or do I need to get new ones?

Sometimes I lose track of DM’s and links, so if you don’t have something then just let me know. All of the updated versions are now in their own folders that give you access to the poster, trailer, and film. I paid for enough space in the drive finally so I can just reupload into the folders without needing to send new links out each time I make a version of a film.

As far as going all in on your edits, I just feel your approach with Boba, integrating his content entirely into Mandalorian and truly making them one show, is the best way to salvage that content. I wanted a full Boba show, I love that character. I actually enjoyed his 5 episodes mroe than the Mandalorian… but… It’s not happening. We got what we got. I feel your approach is the best way to save that content.

Thanks! There’s been a lot of discussion about what to do with Boba’s “modern day” BoBF storyline, and eventually, I did decide to maintain as much of it as possible. In Book 6/7 you should see more of him. Still working out all the details and I’ve created a half dozen versions of so many scenes… but I’m confident I’ll get something to work.

In movie 2 you have the “don’t touch the buttons” scene twice- once at the start and once at 80 mins in. Otherwise, it’s excellent so far. You’ve nailed the balance and transitions of the Boba and Mando content.

Thank you! That was a total oversight on my part with the moving the Sorgan landing to Book 2. I am fixing it right now, splitting the scene in half so we get the Sorgan content in the beginning and then the humor bit individually at the 80-minute mark. The fixed version should be up in the folder this evening. Glad to hear the back-and-forth pacing of Din/Boba is improved!
