- I inserted six additional scenes (borrowed from some other fan projects, details below), e.i. Dooku hiring Jango Fett and Grievous origins.
(…)- I inserted a short flashback with Grievous’ backstory as the opening scene, right before chapter #30. I borrowed it from a YT channel called Star Wars:Tales Untold (the original video is called “Star Wars: The Tragic Transformation of General Grievous”). The video was generated w/ AI and it adapts the scene from the novel. I trimmed the audio significantly so it could fit the audiobook nicely.
(…)- Part IV starts with a flashback. I borrowed and trimmed the audio from two videos made by @SkywalkerStories (YT). The scene depicts how Count Dooku met and joined Darth Sidious, then Darth Tyranus is tasked with having Sifo-Dyas killed. In the second part of the flashback, Dooku recruits Jango Fett for the Clone Army. I felt these scenes really add a lot to the LoE story and the entire prequel trilogy.
(…)- I added two short additional scenes after Chapter #44. They appear in the book but were removed from the unabridged audiobook. I borrowed them from an unabridged audiobook I found on YT, read by AI and made by @PatrickPredator. I trimmed these scenes and added some voice effects/filters (e.i. for Threepio’s lines), background sounds and Star Wars music.
- The first scene depicts Mace Windu, Shaak Ti and Ki Adi Mundi shortly after Palpatine has been kidnapped. They find out that the information has been already leaked to the media.
- The second scene shows Padmé receiving the news about the kidnapping and C-3PO being told his future by a “fortuneteller droid”. These scenes maybe don’t add much to the overall story, but I felt they deserved to be re-instated.
- For pacing reasons, I moved the first part (Dooku/Sidious scene) of the Chap #48 after #46.
(…)- I inserted another short scene from @PatrickPredator’s AI audiobook right after Chapter #47. It’s about 40sec long, it sets up Nute Gunray and the Separatist Council on Uutapau. Maybe it doesn’t add that much to the overall story, but since Gunray was a big part of the first act, and of the entire prequel trilogy, I thought it would be nice to mention him in the closing act. I also added his theme from TPM.
- I also included a scene from ROTS novelization that doesn’t appear in the movie. I borrowed it from one of the AI videos made by @SkywalkerStories. In this scene, Count Dooku and Darth Sidious discuss the fate of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Dooku believes Kenobi could be convinced to their cause, but Sidious dismisses the idea, he believes Obi-Wan must be killed so Anakin could be turned.
These are all the scenes/chapters I added that weren’t included in the original abridged audiobook (+ epilogue w/ Ahsoka) ☺️
