My recut is officially available today, as of July 31.
Why I did it?
Like you, probably - if you are a SW fans or love to hate SW -, I watched The Acolyte, very uneasy, filled with many awkward moments and a plot stretched thin over too many episodes (short) and with too many fillers (useless dialogue, repetitive informations, and so on). It is the era of the professional fan fiction or what I call the pro-fan-sional era. As an editor, director, lecturer in cinema, I just couldn’t sit down and let it go by under my nose without doing nothing. I took on myself to make a fanfix! To fix the storytelling by rearranging the continuity, mainly. Because I think, besides all the politics and the modern ideology that gets in the way of good storytelling, that the main problem of The Acolyte is the pacing and the editing, we could also blame the format, to which Disney seems to thinks that telling SW stories through TV series is still a good idea (Skeleton Crew, and so on until…)
What I propose here - and I know there is a lot out there -, is a recut of the series into a 164 feature film with master Jedi Sol’s point of view in mind. I would like to prove my point stated earlier: the bad pacing and bad editing is what mainly plague The Acolyte.
The fanfix is now available through private topic. Please indicate your email in the request and a link will be sent. Thank you very much!
