I hoped someone would do this to see if this show is salvageable, so here is a copy-paste from my review thread, a wish-you-well and some ideas I think would greatly improve your film;
Copy-Paste review:
"Just watched a 20-minute recap of season 1 with scenes to accompany it, and my few cents are the same as my thoughts before the series’ premiere;
the acting (oh my god, the acting), the dialogue and at times the location designs are what is really ruining current Star Wars and this series. Dialogue and acting has to be a dance between the two professions, but here it comes across as your drunk uncle dancing with your cat at your sister’s wedding. It’s just not good, but it is hilarious.
And for the budget this thing had, with most of the location designs they create and use… and costumes… I’m… speechless… It’s literally Disney Channel from 2012 sometimes. Like, I’ve seen clips that make me think “that could’ve been from Hannah Montana”.
I will also say, from the 20 minutes I’ve watched, I did like 60% of the Sith executing the Jedi sequence. They have held some of the fighting on this show to a high standard. But when many of the actors can’t pull of a believable face of dread or sorrow in a scene of pure chaos and horror… then it becomes a comedy, doesn’t it.
Closing Note:
They wanted to make a drama mystery series for all the ages, but instead they created the Tommy Wiseau of Star Wars."
My ideas and thoughts
So yeah… that’s how I feel I, and how it seems like many others interpret this… this… thing.
Now, that’s not to say that this amazing community of editors can’t remove a lot of what makes this show into a meme, and craft it into something worthy of two and more eyes and the attention span and love of a Star Wars fan.
I hope and think that with removing horrible facial expressions, dialogue that does not belong or is delivered badly, and structure the series to an actual mystery - I think you could hit a jackpot in terms of being “the faneditor that made something horrible watchable”. Say what you will about Star Wars - only this has been truly horrible. The Rise of The Sith, The Last Jedi and Boba Fett were issued and badly executed, but they weren’t horrible.
I wish you good luck, and I will be one of the first to watch this in a film format from you - if you have the courage, time and patience to do so. We will not fault you if you choose to give up.
Sorry, I missed to reply to your message as it got lost.
Indeed you are correct! This show was full of bad acting and terrible dialogue but thankfully the sound edit left the centre channel pretty clean so we could get around almost off of it.
100% not going up as it’s been finished for around a week. We’re just tweaking a few VFX shots and I went a little crazy at 5am this morning and I’m now making 2 different versions from this one series. First one if for myself, running in around 2:30h without flashbacks, second will be the two parter many people have asked me to create.
I’m just waiting on the collab work to come in and this will be released asap…
