Ok, second one watched (A new threat). My main criticisms of the first episode remain (little bit too long, too much repetitive action, it doesn’t breathe enough) but on the other hand you’ve improved with this one: the transitions are smoother and the “intercut montage” is more polished. There are the technical same issues with the frame-rate dropping each time there is a new transition that still bug me, but it’s nevertheless better than the first episode. Also during the Council meeting in which you’ve used “CW cartoon” dialogues the sound mix is really wrong, very jarring. About the plot of the “new weapon”, there also is a over-use of basically the same footage (the “firing” shot hommage to ANH Death Star), so I would recommand if you intend to revisit your edits (when every episode finished) to remove them (only keep 2 at most), because it’s really repetitive and it does not serve any purpose since the weapon is shown firing at the very beginning. There might be a few other things to shorten but overall it’s quite good, superior to the tvseries counterpart. Boba is less hesitant in his actions, which is a good thing.
