Yes, it’s another “Ahsoka” fanedit titled The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord. What can I say, it’s just a really cool title 🙈
I’ve seen a lot of fanedits of the series, in terms of quality and editing, they were all really great, but, none of them really made the show watchable for me.
Like, for ex. I liked what some editors did with the first act, but I didn’t exactly like how they edited the rest of the show. And vice versa.
So I made a simple cut just for me, which I can share if somebody wants to watch it (maybe some users have similar preferences and expectations). As mentioned, it’s a simple edit with simple transitions, made mostly for myself. Due to my limited resources, I could only have it in 720p (an MP4 file). But for me it’s enough (at the moment at least).
Above all I have to highlight that it’s not really my fanedit, it’s a hybrid cut of two fanedits I liked the most - smudger9’s A Threat From Beyond (in my opinion, overall, it’s the best fanedit of the show you will find in the Internet) and the Kai Patterson Cut.
In short, I “borrowed” the first act from the Patterson Cut (heavily trimmed) and the basis for the rest of the film was smudger9’s edit (slightly trimmed).
The main goal was to cut as much of the first act (especially Sabine) and New Republic senators as possible.
The runtime is 2h 34min.
The full list of trims/changes:
• Once again, the first act (until Ahsoka and Sabine crash in the forest) was “borrowed” from the Kai Patterson Cut.
• I left a silent sequence of the Lucasfilm logo and “A long time ago…” before the movie starts.
• I trimmed the opening significantly. The film opens with Baylon, Shin and Morgan arriving on the planet X (I don’t remember its name 😅). We learn of the prison escape, etc. from later scenes.
• I cut the first scene with Sabine on Lothal.
• I cut Hera’s meeting with Mon Mothma and NR senators. We know the outcome of the meeting from later scenes anyway.
• In general, I trimmed the entire first act to ~30min
• I used some additional sounds to make a transition from Kai Patterson Cut to smudger9’s edit. The smudger9’s stuff starts in 34min (when Ahsoka and Sabine leave their spaceship in the forest).
• I left most of the rest. I slightly trimmed some Sabine stuff.
• I removed Ezra’s homecoming, I always thought it should have been left as an open ending.
• I added credits for the authors of the fanedits I used for this edit and the title during the ending credits.
I have to be honest, it’s not as spectacular in terms of quality as most of the edits you can find on this forum, but it suits my needs and personal preference. Nevertheless, if you don’t mind 720p quality and the cuts and trims I made are what you were looking for in an “Ahsoka” edit, you can DM me ☺️
And once again, it’s just a little project I made for myself. **It was never meant to be a proper fanedit (and it shouldn’t be considered one since it’s just a blend of two great edits of other extremely talented faneditors) or properly published ** (as I think it wouldn’t even be fair).
I’m just willing to share it bc somebody might share my personal preferences regarding a movie edit of this show.
