I think you made enough changes for a new thread. I also do not want Hal’s thread to get sidetracked here. I would like for him to retire from editing like he stated a while back. He has contributed more than enough to the fan editing community.

Just saw this, and straight off - apologies if I overstepped. I didn’t realize a) Hal was trying to get out of the game and b) this could be construed as putting a buncha stuff on his plate. I was basically just getting the ideas on their feet to see if they’d work and/or what you guys thought of seeing them as audio/video and not just theory. I’ll reach out - which I shoulda done in the first place!

Just wanted to let anyone know that I’m planning to watch season 2 of Andor one episode per week despite the release schedule, so I won’t be in this thread until July 9th.

There is another version of this likely coming, just need to give it some time.

I think it’d be silly for me to dedicate any time to this until after we see Andor Season 2, but there may be enough to do at that point.


Hal coming back to this thread:

The Star Wars Saga:
I · II · III · IV · V · VI · VII · VIII · IX | Rogue One · Solo
What was first just a dream has become a frightening reality…

The intention wasn’t to be like “OKAY NOW… GET IN THERE AND DO THEM FOR US” or anything like that, LOL. Again, all apologies if it seemed or came off that way. Definitely not the intention. If anything, I’d be doing them if they passed muster as ideas. I’ll reach out - which I shoulda done in the first place!

That said - now that they’re actually out there, any thoughts on the halfass clipshow, feel free to let fly!

I wish to use your intro card for my personal fan edit of Rogue One, I was wondering if you could send me via drive the whole sequence? 🙏🏻

Broom Kid,

I apologize if my post came across as aggressive. Unfortunately, the internet does not allow us to show emotion or intent.

I am glad about what you are attempting to do. I will be looking at your upload in a bit here. However, I think it could be useful for some of your changes where cuts and trims are made to show a before and after so we can get a sense if the cuts feel natural and flow smoothly.

My impression here is that you are making your own edit with Hal’s as a base, correct?

If I recall correctly, Hal usually doesn’t mind his threads serving as idea boards, either.

Nah, you didn’t come off aggressive at all, don’t sweat that! It just gave me a moment to realize I hadn’t quite clocked or thought it all the way through, LOL. It’s okay. I’m gonna hang back for another month since as it turns out, that’s when the guy whose project this is gets back in here, and he’s gonna actually take another pass at this!

It’s all good 😃

My personal headcanon of “first time for me” is it’s Cassian’s first time being captured by Saw Guerrera, but do what you gotta do.

Just kidding. But wow, what an absolute treat Andor has been. I’ve very much enjoyed viewing season two one week at a time to savor it in a similar slow-burn style as season one. (Although I watched the final episode a day earlier than proper!)

And I appreciate the discussion here I’ve missed out on until now. I have not yet rewatched Rogue One, so I’ll do that before finalizing a list of ideas, before eventually getting to actual work on an update. But yes, Andor is essential viewing and so it’s hard to imagine feeling good about anyone watching Rogue One without being encouraged to check it out as well. So this project’s original ideas are now somewhat displaced.

Here are my intentions and thoughts at this juncture.

Broom Kid, the link to your clip show is dead, so I have no idea what it contained. Do you still have this to present?

An opening set of text might be desirable but not necessary. I’d lean against it, unless something wins me over that is worthwhile. Open to formatting it like Solo’s opener.

Cassian’s intro on Kafrine must be reinstated and anything else necessary for that to fit well.

Mothma’s like about wanting to extract Galen in order for him to testify to the Senate is less plausible given season two of Andor. I could interpret it to mean he’d be put before the Senate by another party, maybe. Not sure a change is warranted.

Reinstate Draven’s order for Cassian to kill Galen Erso.

Restore the announcement on Jedha about the missing cargo pilot, if his original introduction remains cut.

Remove line where Cassian implies he’s never been in prison before. Perhaps “it’s the same to me.” That’s a nice idea if we can do it.

I’d like a modified version of the single shot of R2 and 3PO so that R2’s light is solid red (and maybe is a bit dim) and does not change, so that it would fit in well with any version of ANH.

It’s cool to have Vader. It’d have been cool to exclude him. I don’t plan to remove any of Vader, but if I did, it would be to remove his hallway scene and leave the rest.

Repurpose footage from 2001: A Space Odyssey to depict a dying vision for Andor during the end of the Battle of Scarif to tie into the ending of the final episode of the show.

Plan to include alternate audio track with StarWarsStory’s alternate Vader voice actor, since Broom Kid has adapted it to 5.1.

Also, plan to include an adjusted score-only audio track since Broom Kid provided one. May need some additional material of course.

I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

I don’t, sorry! Funny enough, that clip show/proof-of-concept reel of some ideas ended up getting iterated on and iterated on to the point it just… became its own edit.

This I can do, and will do happily once the edit’s locked. It’s definitely gonna need adjusting due to any reinsertion of scenes but it can definitely be done.

Wow, that looks fantastic! Mind sending me a link? I’ll make that the version of Rogue One to watch. I don’t dislike anything from the changelist.

Been holding off on re-watching Rogue One until a Hal-approved edit is available! Broom Kid, if you see this, can you please send me a link to your edit?
