Star Wars Rebels Recut - A Fanedit TV Series — Page 31

I’m currently mixing in extra lines from both star wars Canon and the old EU into the world between worlds. If you have any suggestions, please give them to me! I’m not sure how many will make it in, but I want to really add to the soundscape here. I also think the World Between Worlds is a great place to join both EU and Canon so all star wars fans can feel validated with what they love! 😄

S04E04 - Wolves and a Door and the first half of the second movie are pretty complete now. I’m holding off on release them (as e04-05-06 and the 2nd movie should release at the same time) but I thought I’d give the update as it’s going well! 😄

g00b, did you finish working on the subtitles for s04e04 - Wolves and a Door?

Not yet, what I’ll do is finish the movie, subtitle the movie then shift those subtitles into seperate files for the 2 episodes 😃

My current cut of the final film is 2:01:53 (excluding credits and opening logos). I’m VERY happy with how it’s coming together. Still a while off releasing it but I thought I’d share that I’ve got my first complete cut of the film and that it’s got the perfect runtime (over 2 hours)! hahaha

I’ve still got to adjust the shots for the last 40 or so minutes to the new aspect ratio, upscale, review and do the subtitles 😃

I’m rending out the full version of this second movie to watch and review before getting into subtitles and upscaling! I’m very excited to give it a watch from start to finish haha

Doesn’t removing the episode Droids in Distress cause a problem with continuity? That’s the episode where Zeb finds out agent Kallus has a bo-rifle because he was part of the Lasat massacre. It’s also the episode where Kanan meets Bail Organa, who he later points out meeting before in the season one finale. Also, while I know Secret Cargo isn’t the most important episode, it would be cool to still keep now that it has a nice connection to Andor. Plus it shows the different rebel cells finally coming together to form the rebel alliance. Legends of Lasat is also a fan favorite that’s now gone. Maybe you could include a lot of these cut episodes as extra bonus episodes the same way EddieDean has extra episodes in his Clone Wars Refocused edit?

I think it’s removal actually helps continuity. That episode makes Kallus an irredeemable monster who ordered a genocide… One that Rebels only dealt with by making him “lie” about that. We still see that Zeb really HATES Kallus and comments that he shouldn’t have the weapon he has (in other episodes) so I actually don’t think we lose anything important believe it or not!

That’s the episode where Zeb finds out agent Kallus has a bo-rifle because he was part of the Lasat massacre.

While this is true, it’s also explored later on in season 2 when they’re both trapped on Geonisis’ moon so it’s not really needed here. In my edit, Zeb obviously hates Kallus, and you can see Kallus has a similar weapon. Its talked about that there aren’t many Lasats. So as the show goes on you get a sense that something horrible happened but don’t have to have it spelled out directly. So again, I don’t think we lose any substance, in fact by cutting this episode I think it improves world building and story telling. 😃

It’s also the episode where Kanan meets Bail Organa, who he later points out meeting before in the season one finale.

That’s right! But seeing them meet Bail isn’t really important. Just like seeing the Rebels meet Lando. They have an history of operation before they get Ezra AND between episodes. So although I cut this meeting, its not important for the story to know HOW they met.

Also, while I know Secret Cargo isn’t the most important episode, it would be cool to still keep now that it has a nice connection to Andor. Plus it shows the different rebel cells finally coming together to form the rebel alliance.

Its connections to Andor are a hindrance now 😂 so the overall story of canon is improved by this episodes exclusion. Why would Mon Mothman not go back with Andor… And instead PUT HERSELF IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION that ALMOST doesn’t go well… Absurd continuity that wasn’t well explained at all 😂 mostly because Rebels just wanted a Mon Mothman cameo episode. While it does show Rebels cells coming together, we do see that all across season 3 and the very beginning of season 4 so I don’t think anything is lost by its exclusion.

Legends of Lasat is also a fan favorite that’s now gone.

Quite frankly, I think the episode sucks. I think it gives Zeb awful characterisation and this episode combined with the epilogue is completely ignored by future projects (Mandoverse). So while there are aspects to enjoy about it. Its a side adventure that has so far never connected to the overall story in anyway.

Maybe you could include a lot of these cut episodes as extra bonus episodes the same way EddieDean has extra episodes in his Clone Wars Refocused edit?

There is the potential I do this, however my main focus at the moment is the core story of the show, not it’s filler episodes 😃

Here’s a little showcase of how the World Between Worlds is sounding so far 😃

Did you already polish the subtitles for the 2nd movie or not?

I’m still working on them mate. I’ve recently started a new job that’s been keeping me away from editing time so progress is slow but still continuing. 😃

Is the subtitles almost done?

I think I’m at about the 30 minute mark for the subs currently.

Progress has been slow but steady. As I’m watching through and working on the subtitles, I find things to polish and keep working on 😅 I’ve got the first 50 minutes of this final movie nice and schmik now though!
