Really good news, Acbagel. What I had already seen from you is almost perfect, I’m very much looking forward to see the end of your vision.
Thanks, Kada! That’s very kind. I am excited to share the final films with you and everyone else soon! I still get 4-5 requests every day on Reddit to watch these films which is wild to me. I’m happy to see a lot of the pacing changes resonate with folks.
On the update side of things, unfortunately I got extremely ill the whole last week and missed 8 days of everything except laying in bed… So I’m a few days behind on Book 2, but still made a lot of progress before I got sick, so I’m about halfway done updating that film, aiming to have it done by Friday night. Heres the first half changelog for updates:
-
Fixed aspect ratio bug on a couple early shots
-
Added new night sky transition from Grogu to Boba, really like the storytelling beat this adds.
-
Deleted Boba wincing and looking away from civilian getting beat by swoop gang, replaced with a different shot of him tactically watching
-
When the Village Lady says “I’m sorry” and Mando replies “This is the way” in regards to him always wearing his helmet, I cut Mando’s line and use his silence and nod as a response now. TitW doesn’t seem to fit here, and the line is overly abused later in the series so removing early unnecessary ones helps preserve the impact.
-
Added new Din line to Grogu “Stay here”
-
Fixed a harsh transition in Sorgan cantina
-
Re-recorded a couple Din lines for consistent delivery
-
Balanced volume levels after the train raid to be more in line with the previous scene
-
Raised volume of Boba speaking to Pyke leadership
-
Altered transition between Boba and Din walking around Mos Eisley, the doors are now in sync for a cool looking visual transition between characters
-
Lightened Nighttime scenes on Tatooine Fennec attack

So that gets me about halfway through the review of Book 2, I’ll post the rest of the changelog on Friday and hoping to drop it then and then get to Book 3 & 4 next week (they don’t need as many updates, so I think I can finalize both of those), then it’s on to finishing Book 5!
