This is such an excellent edit. Very well done. Maybe it’s just me but I felt like battle of the heroes portions are of a slightly lesser quality than everything else. It just doesn’t look as sharp. Anyone else see this?
My guess would be the lack of sharpness is the ‘film grain’ that Bailey added to better match the much higher quality animation of the Clone Wars episodes. Since the Batttle of the Heroes fan film is serving as a ‘Force Vision’ that Ahsoka’s having, it worked for me.
As I discovered with his Galaxy of Adventures RotJ work, Bailey’s very good at coming up with creative solutions to these sorts of things. Obviously, the ideal situation would be for Disney to cough up the cash for a proper version of it, but I’m not holding my breath 😉
Heh yeah Disney is a joke. I totally gave up on anything Disney a few years ago. Fan projects are where the fun is. I’ll have a look at the Galaxy of Adventures stuff.

Thanks for the feedback! The Battle of Heroes was 4k but also was downloaded from youtube, so the typical youtube compression would be a factor. Also, as Bored at 3AM mentioned, I had to add a film grain to try to match the Clone Wars grain (battle of heroes had none), so it would make sense if they did look slightly different. But, that being said, I have watched this multiple times on my 75" TV and it looks great to me. I love constructive criticism, it helps make my (and our) edits better, but on this one, I don’t really see it.
Interesting…my home theater screen is 135" so maybe that was part of it. I’ll check it out on some other screens. I’ll hang on to this edit for sure. Can’t wait to show some friends
