I watched the first two movies over the weekend and this is most certainly going to be my go-to versions from now on.
Out of curiosity: I guess you, as me, saw the original show. And hopefully I will be es excited as you when I finally sees this version.
But how you (and others in this thread, please share your thought also) think this edit will be for a first time viewer?
I’ve been planning to introduce my girlfriend to Star Wars in the (hopefully near) future. Will it be better to show her this then the TV show, or should we see the full show first and use these edits for rewatches?
I would say it depends on how much you want to show her, whether you want to go through everything through time with her or if you just want to catch her up on what she is missing out on.
I would normally say 4,5,6 then 1,2,3 back in the day but the amount of media and extra series films etc (7,8,9 are a bad dream and not welcome in this household) makes it all over the place!
This year with my partner who had never seen Star Wars, I just showed her the 6 films, rogue one and fan edits of all the series to speed run but also keep it tight to the story.
You have no idea how excited I have been to get to Acbagel’s movies and I showed her the first one, somehow she only knew about “baby yoda” from toys etc thinking it was literally just a silly version of yoda. It was a crazy twist when she actually saw him and was worried when Mando just left him (going on that prison mission just works so well for the pacing)
Long story short I would happily recommend these films to anybody instead of the series, higher quality story telling and the Boba back and forth is incredible. I’d happily never have further adventures with Mando if it meant these edits could remain
