Heya there Smudger, can’t wait for your release though unlike past times I got hasty and watched the OG show before your cut.
I checked out your log and your changes seem justified and professional as always. There’s one change I felt the need to discuss about whether it should be kept or not:
“Episode 8:
Cut both Maul in the tunnels scenes - I really wish the flashbacks had covered the Son of Dathomir, but they didn’t so they don’t add a huge deal to the plot.”
I also felt the disappointment while watching this scene but I still think it was important as it clarified 2 points:
A. Maul and Savage were apparently biological brothers (?!), not only bound by Talzin’s magick.
B. Maul’s ultimate goal went from “I’m only after taking revenge from my master, his apprentice and Obi-wan for the sake of hurting me and I’m only driven by hate” to “I’m going to end Sidious so what he did to me doesn’t happen to anyone else”. I donno, it seemed like a pivoting character development for Maul. It also gave more depth to REBELS SPOILER ALERT when Maul met his end and what he said about being avenged.
So excited and thankful to see your version specially the cuts made to the battles of episode 10. There were quite a few moments that the OG show made incoherent jumps between the scenes. Also implimenting Bettany’s voice sounds great! It was weird that the VA didn’t resemble his voice at all.
