cut the weird response from Kanan “I don’t go for crazy, anymore.” to the seventh sister.
cut a shot of Kanan watching a droid fall down the pit… what were you doing there buddy? There’s a fight going on…
cut shot of Inquisitors just standing and watching Kanan and Ezra struggle… come on guys you’ve got a job to do! Go get them!
cut establishing shot of the cliff after as with no ad break it’s not needed
cut establishing shot of Kanan holding Ezra as with no ad break it’s not needed
cut shot of creatures leaving the cliff edge for fight urgency
cut shot of Ezra using the force as it’s repeated from 2 shots ago.
cut shot of Ezra smacking his head, he doesn’t need to look this foolish after I setup his abilities in the intro text.
cut “up on three, one two three” for fight urgency.
reinstated Kanan and Ezra’s full arrival on the ship and cut Zeb’s comments here, they were the real reason I wanted this scene gone as he downplays the Inquisitors.
cut the crew existing the Phantom and Ahsoka stating Ezra lives on Lothal, this is unneeded, there is enough visually to determine we are on Lothal again.
cut the second shot of the crew entering the temple as we don’t need two of these back to back.
cut “well, he kind of contacted us.” - the line feels silly, like why would you not have discussed this before you came?
desaturated and recolored the scenes between Kanan and the Inquisitor. Given how bright the light Kanan walks into is, it felt odd the original scene was saturated like every other scene… it’d surely be washed out from the light? That’s my justification anyway.
redid the lightsabers. This combined with the recolor makes it much easier to track them through the scenes now, they got lost in the light of the original.
cut “a temple guard” as it’s just exposition for the audience that feels clunky. (If you watch with subtitles or have seen the Clone Wars, you’ll know what he is anyway)
cut Jedi temple guard posing for the camera ready to strike, he had already made his intentions to attack clear enough.
cut there initial fight a touch for pacing as there is no need for it to start up too much then cut to another scene.
cut the opening of the second fight. The dialogue between the temple guard and Kanan undermines what happens later on.
reinstated shot of inquisitors opening temple. Not sure why I ever cut this.
recolored the inquisitors entering the temple to make it more dramatic (darkened shadows and make the lighting more red)
masked around the lightsabers to give them a light glow and to restore their original color (adding more visual depth to the scene)
redid the temple guards lightsabers here too
cut shot of chopper talking for reasons listed below
cut “he says Imperial forces are on their way”, yes Ezra we know that, they’re in the Temple currently.
Deaged Vader but increasing his voice pitch by a semitone.
