Changes

  • Episode rebuilt from scratch
  • Changed intro text content
  • Extended Intro text time
  • Cut most of the opening fight (it was needless action with too many goofy moments)
  • Cut Ezra and Hera reacting to Sabine docking with the Ghost to keep the pace of the opening moving forward.
  • Cut the scene with Tua, Kallus and Vader.
    • Although an awesome scene for Vader, this content is covered in the intro text AND characterizes Kallus as okay with murder of Imps (which the s1 finale showed him shocked at this AND this makes him much easier redeemed later on).
  • Replaced Old Jho’s dialogue with the Ithoese sfx from KoTOR to match previous episodes.
  • Cut from Kallus sending a probe after Tua, until the transport ship taking off to keep the pacing moving
  • Cut Ezra explaining his plan (not because it was a bad plan but because ON YOUR WAY to the mission is NOT the time to be making a plan when you have ample time to sort that out in safety).
  • Cut Ezra wanting the list to help the Rebels to make his pursuit here feel more noble and Jedi-esk. (instead of undercut with a joke)
  • Cut “It’s gotten worse” from Ezra… “I never seen so many star destroyers here” pretty much says the same thing. Don’t need the repeat
  • Deaged Darth Vader’s voice
  • Cut Sabine and Ezra talking about leaving for good (for pacing).
  • Cut Kanan “does anyone ever say yes to that question?” in response to being called crazy by Hera.
  • Cut Zeb SCREAMING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN IMP BASE (WHAT!?)
  • Cut TO BE CONTINUED and end credits
  • Cut establishing shot to blend the two episodes together seamlessly
  • Cut repeated shot, shot of Kanan and title card for flow
  • Cut “you know what I do in hopeless situations” “Yeah! Blow stuff up!” As i didn’t like this moment of levity here.
  • Cut “If that doesn’t kill him, what will?” so now Kanan just says “Run!”
  • Cut Kanan and Ezra’s negative reaction to Lando being hinted at
  • Cut Kanan “There’s prisoners of the Empire now” nope sorry buddy, Tarkin town is burnt down and the inhabitance are ALL DEAD.
  • Cut Tarkin town having survivors
  • Cut “sound like a lousy Lando plan” for Sabine to then get insulted…
  • Cut “sounds like a lousy Sabine plan”
  • Cut Hera thanking Lando, it’s just the wrong mood for the current scene.
  • Cut the scene where Kallus explains there’s a tracking device. Just like Episode 4, there escape being too easy should be a clue that Vader is on his way.
  • Cut Ezra not knowing what a transmitter is.
  • Trimmed Kanan’s response so it makes sense with the new cuts it’s not “The Empire tracked us back to the fleet!”
  • Mixed in the Ian McDermid dub to the end sequence
  • Cut Palpatine not knowing if Kenobi was alive

I Need Help to Improve the Episode!

If anyone has a 5.1 sound copy of the Amazon release of S02E01 - The Siege of Lothal. Can you send me a PM?

I’ve got something that’s passable but if I can get a 5.1 sound copy of Ian McDermid’s performance I can make it perfect!
