Here is my edit of the Book of Boba Fett. With Din Djarin’s story being a surprise feature and the Boba portions being a bit disappointing with a lot of flashback scenes, I have decided to edit this as episode 3 of the Mandalorian. Headlines are:
- Din and Boba’s present stories run side-by-side for the first half and merge on Tatooine for the final
battle.
- The Luke/Grogu/Ahsoka scenes are moved to the end of the movie and Grogu no longer travels to Tatooine.
- The flashbacks are largely removed. The only parts that remain are edited versions of the sarlaac escape,
Tusken Gaffi training, Pikes negotiation and Tusken massacre.
- The mods are heavily edited with the Krrsantan palace infiltration and capture of the majordomo being
completely removed. The Majordomo is not seen again after the first meeting between Boba and the Mayor.
- Cuts and edits have been made to strengthen Boba’s character to have him more in control of the plot.
I have also made a new logo for the series which better fits with the man Star Wars logo:
