That’s really awesome. Definitely seemed like you were more than amateur! St. Andrews is a lovely town- great beaches if they’re not full of jellyfish! I’m an Edinburgher, currently on holiday at Loch Tay, so I know the area! 😉

It’s good to have you with us, I think the community would agree that we’re really enjoying the fresh eye you bring with your videos. Star Wars editing, especially of the prequels, has gone through a couple of phases, each growing on the last, over the last couple of decades. I’d argue we’re in the third phase of that right now with AI voice lines and so on being available, and a lot of your cuts are novel even in this fertile environment.

Your goals are interesting - also novel, they’re a bit more aligned to the mythological/poetical narrative language than we’re used to - but I think it’s likely we’ll see edits stealing many of your scenes in future. Something a little more aligned to canon, perhaps Hal’s detail + Spence’s pacing + your scenes + elements of restructuring from all three, with a dash of new CG and AI voicelines, could be very appealing here.
