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.

Awesome! I have been really looking forward to getting to show you guys specifically, because that’s such a unique position to be going in to see this content for the first time through my format.

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.

Haha love that! I totally agree with what you mean about the premise and name of the show. I think it is actually a great pivot point for the series after the emotional personal journey for Din and Grogu, to now move into showing Mandalorians in general. Glad that theme carried through as I intended!

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.

If I were to guess, I’d say the “choppy” feeling probably leaked through from the cuts back and forth to the Nevarro pirate plotline. Those are the main transitions I still am not 100% happy with, as it’s a little jarring to leave the Mines and go there, but I tried experimenting with those scenes in SO many other places in the film and they were all worse. Definitely open to ideas here though!

Regarding Din, I do understand that. I thought it was somewhat in character because he was going around to everyone telling them about his failure and plan for redemption. Mandalorians aren’t shy about that stuff, they preach the religion so to speak. While reserved and focused to some degree, they are a blunt and honest culture.

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.

Good point! That’s a line that would make sense to transition back to basic anyway. Have that noted, thanks!

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.

Very cool man, thanks so much for sharing all of this. Can’t wait to show you Book 6 in the coming months! Production is going well, ~15% through the final review.

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.

I give the people what they want. Trust me, Boba will be a huge focus in Book 6. His character deserves it.

One thing just came to me: Will the scene of Grogu seeing the space whales be in there? It is just so damn beautiful. ❤️

Yes! Love that scene too. It is now placed after Din picks up Grogu from Yavin for the reunion and flies en route to Mandalore for the final battle. It works SO well thematically there.

Made a mockup below adjusting Cad Bane’s color and head shape to closer resemble The Clone Wars… Should I spend approximitely the next month ONLY doing VFX to fix Cad Bane’s appearance?
