Sort of a companion piece to a companion piece in a sense.

I decided to upload the edits of ToTJ that I did late last October to go with the ones I already uploaded along with the ToTJ cut of ‘The Phantom Menace’ I uploaded recently (https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/A-New-Hope-SC-38-Reimagined-and-The-Phantom-Menance-Tales-of-the-Jedi-cuts/id/113272). Both of these take all three episodes of that respective character and put them into one long episode - with time jumps made abundantly clear for story cohesion.
.
.
“Ahsoka - The First Steps” - 39mins. All three episodes of the Ahsoka portion of the miniseries together in one long episode.
The name feels apt in all 3 stories I think. “Life and Death” has her take her first steps in a very literal sense given baby-soka’s age, and her first steps as a Force-Wielder with her taming/calming the Raxshir creature. “Practice Makes Perfect” sees her taking her first steps in doing and looking at things in the more Anakin-like and less conventional sense, rather than the things the Jedi Order officially do and prioritise, which ends up saving her life at the end of The War. Lastly, “Resolve” has her taking her first steps in the new order of The Galaxy when the Republic falls and the Empire takes its place, also her first moves against the new enemies that hunt those like her in this new era: The Inquisitors.
(I don’t have any intentions of doing a ‘ToTJ Cut’ of ‘Revenge of The Sith’ that incorporates “Resolve” at the moment for a few reasons - one is that I’m not sure it’ll fit as well as “The Sith Lord” did into ‘The Phantom Menace’ for Dooku. Like; the funeral would go from live action to animation in the sameish scene, which would probably be more jarring than before - and the business with the Inquisitor on the farm would probably only work as a post-credits thing after all of the actual Skywalker things are said and done. But because that half of the episode is just shy of 10 minutes, it would probably feel like a very LONG sequence at the end of the credits and might come off like it’s just dragging too much, so it might not work in that way either.)

"Dooku - The Lost Faith” [Extended] - 40 mins. The same as the companion piece to the ToTJ cut of The Phantom Menace I uploaded recently but with the last episode “The Sith Lord” added on. This way, you get the entire story of that half of the season in a way that’s all self-contained on animated Dooku start to finish, hopefully making the whole Dooku story more straightforward.
The name comes from Dooku’s disillusionment with the Republic at large in “Justice”, that and the Jedi Order in “Choices”, and his ultimate breaking point after a devastating personal loss in “The Sith Lord” after his warnings on the failings of both things went unheeded for years.

I put these in the same folder as mu last upload, so it’s all neatly put into one place. Also, because the runtime of each of the finished compilations beats 41 minutes, the total file size of each doesn’t go over 3.40GB - which is a good change from the other edits I’ve put up.

Because it’s in the same folder as another upload, it’s another Mega link as you’d expect

Footnote: I am in no capacity a professional editor or VFX artist, so some areas are visibly mostly good as I have to be realistic with the footage in front of me and what I can do with it. If you do have any particular notes and feedback, feel free to give me your thoughts, but please be constructive and don’t be an ass about it.
