Watched the first movie as a first-timer and here is my review (or rather my comments):
First of all it was a superb edit. I told myself I’m watch it in 20-30 min parts but the next thing I knew, I was 2 hrs in. Even I could tell this was an expert edit so job well done!

Here’s the some stuff I noticed missing while watching this:

  • It wasn’t shown what kinda trial clone force 99 was put on and it jumps straight to Tarkin complimenting them. Not that big of a deal compared to my next 2 comments and I can guess it was too much to fit in but I’ll leave it here as a note.

  • weirdly fast transition from bad batch’s ship to the officer guy instantly conversing to Tarkin around 1:00:00.

  • Gregor just vanished after getting rescued 😦
    Update: i skimmed through the show and apparently it’s the same there?! 😮

Thanks again for your edit and thanks for the effort you invested in this series! Hope I can watch the 2nd movie soon and comment on that too, if it’s welcome ofc 😄

Thanks for the feedback, always appreciated.

The scenes and dialogue around the Kamino trial was something I was never 100% happy with. I cut the trial for timing and pacing issues. However, the original edit was done before AI dialogue was a thing for us amateurs. Now that I have (just this minute!) completed episode 3 I’m going to spend a couple of weeks going back through the first 2 episodes to tighten them up and release the final versions as a completed trilogy. AI dialogue will hopefully improve that sequence.

The whole Gregor episode was a bit of an annoyance. I really didn’t want to include it because it was a side quest, however, Hunter’s capture is a major plot point so it had to be included.

I’ve just looked at that sharp cut you referenced. I have an easy fix for that now that I can use a bit of AI dialogue, which will allow we to slightly extend the scene on the Marauder.

Let me know what you think of episode 2 once you’ve viewed it.
