I was checking the cut list and got really confused as they seem completely different to what I’m watching. Is it out of date now?
You absolute beauty!
Are you doing any colour work on these? I remember about a year back you’d changed the colours on some versions, and finding some of it a bit stark. And are your black levels changing from the original through your pipeline?
Oh, and side question: Are you preserving the resolution shift with the Krayt Dragon reveal in the relevant movie?
Negative on both accounts, I did not do any additional visual quality touch-ups for Books 1-4, aside from the minor VFX work like fixing blasters/graphics that are in the changelog. The Final Update for me was just to get the storyline I envisioned in there. Books 5 & 6 will look much better than the rest.
Looks great, would you please share the links to the available chapters?
For sure! On the way.
I’m about 16 hours of review work into book 5, and currently about 14 minutes into the film lol… Long process, but there’s so much more I want to do this time around, especially with the Darksaber. It’s just taking a VERY long time to write and record the Mando’a. 3 hours last night for 45 seconds of screen time! But it’s worth it

Hmmm, depends on what cut list you were reading and what version of the films you are watching! The front page of this project has much older change lists, the updated ones are just posted throughout the pages of this whole project. Books 2-4 were just updated over the last couple weeks. I’ll DM you to make sure you have the latest links though

This project looks amazing, I love the decision to replace alien dialogue, and add mando’a. I will have to send a message to get access once complete.
very excited. ^-^

I can’t even begin to explain how happy I am with the alien voice changes! COMPLETELY alters the feeling of the characters and the final battle on Nevarro as a whole. We are very close to release of Book 5! Will send out review copies to a couple editors over this weekend and hopefully have it ready for public release next weekend. Change log will be coming soon… It’s extensive!

I’ve caught up again and can’t wait to see what you’ve cooked up
And that’s… a… WRAP!
Over a year of brainstorming and work, and finally… FINALLY, I have just rendered a completed draft of The Way of Mandalore Book 5: The Apostate that I am very happy with. It’s the film I always wanted to make, and it’s just about ready to show you all.
I am going to do a final watch through tonight in my movie room, then fix the 20-30 bugs that always reveal themselves in these final viewings, and then we should be ready for release within the next week. I am SO excited to share this movie re-edit with everyone. I promise you, it’s a Mandalorian experience that you will barely even recognize compared to Season 3.
Final “VFX and Feature trailer” detailing the main changes coming soon too! And keep an eye out on my pages for details of release!

Have been watching out for this frequently and seriously looking forward to it! Have a marathon I’m holding out on specifically for these edits and can’t wait to see what you’ve put together, thought your previous 5 was brilliant and looking forward to seeing how you finalise it all
Super excited for movies 5 and 6!
We are ready for book 5!
I’ve not watched book 1-4 yet, but I’m still happy that number 5 is right around the corner!
(In my head but this one will be called Mando No. 5 (A Little bit of Grogu))
Faneditors - I salute you.

That’s so cool! I think these films function best for “marathon” rewatches for sure, you’re doing it right! I’ll be really interested to hear your thoughts being able to compare the initial Book 5 draft vs this one. Don’t worry, because the best parts of the previous Book 5 with Boba will now be in Book 6, and I think this one functions so well as it is now. Excited to share.
One of my favorite changes to Book 5 is placing Luke’s academy on Yavin IV instead of Ossus. While I love Ossus as a planet… Luke’s academy being there happens waaay too soon in the timeline here (compared to the EU). It feels authentic to me for this to be on Yavin instead. I’ll get some proper screenshots rendered soon, but if you want to watch me edit the VFX for that section, you can see that HERE!
Super excited for movies 5 and 6!
SAME.
We are ready for book 5!
5 is still on track to release this weekend…! 6 is probably 1-2 months out. Thanks for jumping into the streams, that’s been fun!

Nothing wrong with waiting for them all to be released first to start! If I were a fan and not the creator, that’s how I’d be watching these too. More accurate would be Mando No. 5 (A teeny tiny itsy bitsy bit of under 1 minute of Grogu). Book 6 will feature him a little more, but I want us as the viewer to feel like Din feels… Grogu just… isn’t here anymore.
Working through the very final pass right now, hope to get that VFX/feature trailer out within a couple days. Final touch ups are mostly flavor things like adding E-22 blaster sounds into the Night of a Thousand Tears scene, volume balancing all around, and a couple very minor plot points I want to adjust (for example, cutting Din’s mention of the N1 not having a droid port, because he gets R5 WAY sooner in my film compared to Disney’s, it feels odd for him to say that then be putting a droid in it a few minutes later) after watching it all on “the big screen” in my living room. I have a list of ~25 things I’m running through touching up, but it’s very very close… The first act feels SO different with all the Mando’a and Mandalorian history interjected throughout. Makes me feel like I’m back in the Camps on Dxun… It’s definitely got that old school EU vibe.
Ok… Back to work!

Hey everyone!
The wait is (mostly) over! After countless hours of editing, rendering, and maybe a little bit of crying over keyframes across the last year, I’m incredibly hyped to finally drop the TWO official trailers for my massive Mandalorian Re-Edit project:
✨ The Way of Mandalore Book 5: The Apostate ✨
This project completely reimagines the events surrounding BoBF & Mando S3, twisting the narrative, adding new VFX/SFX, and exploring what happens when Din and Grogu DON’T immediately reunite.
I’ve prepared two different looks:
🎬 Official Story Trailer: Get a feel for the new plot, the altered character arcs, and the overall cinematic vision of “The Apostate.”

🚀 VFX/Feature Showcase Trailer: A closer look at the insane amount of new and enhanced visual & audio effects work that went into this beast!

Your support and anticipation have seriously kept me going on this! 🙏 Please head over to YouTube, check out BOTH trailers, drop a Like/Comment (it helps the algorithm!), and Sub if you haven’t already!
Let me know what you think! Can’t wait to hear your reactions to the film!
Full release of the edit is coming…
TOMORROW.

This looks amazing Acbagel! Fantastic work. I can’t wait to see this one.
This does look indeed amazing!
Thanks for all your hard work!
Hype!
Honestly this is the most exciting Star Wars project for years!
Thanks everyone! The film is now RELEASED, post here or DM if you’re interested in seeing.
I will be doing one final minor “touch-up” render after a couple weeks of feedback come in, so please leave your thoughts of what you thought did or didn’t work well in the film. Appreciate you all!
Book 6: Officially back in production.

Book 5 is your best edit yet! Can’t wait to see Book 6! If you stream your editing process some more I’ll be there to hassle you in chat haha!
Please send!
Thanks for the feedback everyone! Book 5 has been my most downloaded project by far, lots of requests for it coming in still. Appreciate everyone’s patience for the time it took me to get it right. Please let me know if you have positive or negative feedback that I can use on a future bug fix release!
I haven’t missed a beat and have been totally locked in on Book 6 since last week’s release. I needed to accomplish a few things for the Ragnar adoption ceremony for my new placement in The Way of Mandalore Book 6. It can’t lead to Ragnar’s abduction, Din Djarin needs to be there, the sound effects and soundtrack need replaced (the original was very underwhelming), the characters need to speak Mando’a, and Ragnar’s mouth movements need to match that Mando’a…
First draft looking pretty good I think! What do you all think? Any suggestions? Ideas?

So my wife and I watched, and we loved it! We were not bored at all. I have seen Boba Fett, but not season 3, and my wife hasn’t seen any of the series.
When Paz stood up and gave his speech in support of Din, my wife got so excited. Same with seeing Grogu at the end, and the Mythosaur. My wife doesn’t know names of stuff, but she was like “That’s the animal their helmets are designed after!”
I thought this movie was the first time I felt the story delivered on the premise of “The Mandalorian”. This feels like the first fully focused Mandalorian story.
I asked her if the Mandoa was too much at all throughout the movie, and she said it was not.
She couldn’t really give me specifics, but she did have feedback of “Parts felt a bit choppy.” Take that for what you will, maybe you can sus out what she means. She loved it overall.
I thought the pacing was excellent. The only minor nitpicks I have are, I don’t feel like Din would necessarily explain to Peli Motto that he is trying to redeem himself etc when asking for the droid that detect the toxicity or whatever it was.
The other thing is, I think the Mandoa works, my wife thought it was great. But I think if a line sounds great in basic/english, it should be considered to be swapped in for special circumstances. The one I’m thinking of is “Have you removed your helmet?” More that the actress’s delivery was really good on that, you could feel the weight of it. I am wondering, maybe she could say it in Mandoa first coming out of that conversation, but then the second time she says it in basic so the line really hits, that’s the one where the actress’s delivery really sells it. Idk if that’ll work but something for you to consider.
Otherwise, we really loved it. I told you in your chat, I was considering doing my own cuts of the series, which would essentially be like yours but cut in half. So your first 4 movies, would only be 2 in my version, which I’m still interested in. However, after watching this one, I might just leave your last movies 5 and 6 as is (depending on how 6 goes), because I thought this one was great! There wasn’t really anything major I wanted to cut.
Edit: OH! I forgot our biggest want… WE WANT BOBA FETT!!! We love Boba. I hope his modern story is a significant part of your Book 6, can’t wait to see how you handle that material.
