Anyone know when this might be finished?
From PixelJoker as of March 9: "I’m not giving regular updates because I’m at the point where I’d like to wrap things up and prepare for the next stage. So, all I’m doing now is dialogue removal (a.k.a., making the actors not talk to match the cuts better), creating alternative shots and reactions, and removing blinking in case of reversed shots. It doesn’t seem too bombastic, but there are almost a hundred of these shots throughout the film. I’m just more focused on actually working on the film than announcing anything or engaging in discourse online.
I wish I were a millionaire with an unlimited budget and time to work on TOTM only, but the reality is far different. I’m one of the VFX artists who unfortunately lost their job due to recent strikes, so I have to take on a side project now and then just to survive and take care of my family."
At one point recently he also mentioned possibly utilizing the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc release of Kenobi to improve some shots for his VFX, and that comes out on April 30th. So my guess on release would be sometime this summer, maybe 3-4 months away? But he’s always been someone who works in spurts based on his profession, sometimes he’s been able to work on this edit very quickly and other times he has to take weeks off, so release predictions have been difficult on his end.
Very safe to say it will come out eventually though, he has invested an enormous amount of time and effort into this.
