This was a fantastic edit, Smudger, but it seems really obvious to me that the Grogu/Luke stuff should act as a prologue to your episode 4, rather than an epilogue to your episode 3. A well structured movie shouldn’t have so much extra material following its climax. Otherwise, literally no complaints. Great job!!

I loved your two first episodes of this show and would really appreciate a link to Ep3 (and Ep4!) of Mando 😃

Thanks for your great work!

Faneditors - I salute you.

Smudger, I watched this edit again and just can’t believe how much of an improvement it is over the original. I simply can’t give enough praise. However, have you ever thought about ending Episode 3 with Mando leaving the armor with Ahsoka to pass on to Grogu, and saving the Luke/Grogu stuff for the beginning of Episode 4?

Thanks so much!

I have considered restructuring episodes 2, 3 and 4 and it’s something I’ll go back to after Ahsoka is finished. I think everyone can agree that the Grogu-Luke reunion was done extremely poorly in the series and it’s trying to decide at what point this occurs in the edits. Much to ponder!

This was a fantastic edit.

It basically salvages BOBF and works in the Mando stuff in a seamless, logical manner. I really liked how the final battle was cut down, and most of the vespa-crew stuff was cut. If there was a way to cut all of it, that would be even better, but I realize that would be extremely difficult. The way Grogu was edited OUT of the Tatooine stuff was pretty ingenious.

My only issue here is with all the Grogu / Luke /Ahsoka stuff at the end. This story essentially concludes with the end of the battle. I thought the scene of Din leaving Tatooine would have been the perfect place to cut to credits.

I haven’t watched Ep IV yet so I’m not sure how well it would work editing all the Jedi stuff into the beginning of that one. However, if it was to be broken up, here’s one possible way I would suggest trying:

In Ep III, Mando tests the starfighter in Beggar’s Canyon. When he heads for space, wipe to him leaving Tatooine to go present his present to Grogu. A LOT of the stuff with the droids building the temple and bench could be cut with no issues- he should arrive and find Ahsoka almost immediately. Then carry on up to the point where Ahsoka talks him down. He leaves, returns to Tatooine, and that’s when Fennic Shand is waiting for him in the docking bay. Then end EP III after the battle, and work in the rest of the Grogu stuff at the beginning of IV. Again, not having seen IV, I’m not sure how well that works.

If all else fails, maybe the answer is an EP 3.5 vignette that addresses the Grogu issue. It’s painfully obvious that Mando S3 didn’t originally account for Grogu, but his popularity caused them to write him back in. The whole thing is just kind of a mess. This would cut down on the length of EP III, allowing it to end in its proper place. (IMHO).

Anyway, great job! Looking forward to EP IV!

Thanks for the input. I agree that the Luke-Grogu segment feels like an add-on. I will be revisiting these Mando edits after I’ve finished with Ahsoka. I’m hoping to better integrate the Luke-Grogu scenes, but as yet I’m not quite sure how to do it.

One little idea for the scene where Krrsantan starts the bar fight:
Would it be possible to add a few lines or subtitles to explain why he attacks the trandoshans?

“This game goes smooth like a Wookiepelt”
“This is more fun than a wookiehunt”
“The win goes to the Wookie-Hunters”
(needs to be more subtle than this)

I am not completely casual, but had to look that up. It would be nicer to have an implication in the actual episode.

Hi, smudger. Do you think you still might revisit this at some point. I know you’re hard at work on other projects, but I just thought I’d ask.

I’m hoping to. Unfortunately I’ve had a partial hard drive failure which has corrupted my Mando edit libraries. I’m about to send them off to see if they can be retrieved.

Oh no, how did this pan out?

Still dont like the title “Mando” 😦 but I have to say I really like how you have merged ep5 with the rest of the series and make it seem like a full chapter of this new republic saga.
I prefer to see the mandalorian get reunited with grogu in tatooine but I get why you did that change, it works fine enough!

As with episode 2, this will also get THE NEW REPUBLIC title added.

I plan to revisit these edits before the Mandalorian and Grogu is released to tighten them up. I may move the Mando/Grogu reunion back to Tatooine.
