Any further updates on this?

Not yet! It’s #1 priority after finishing The Way of Mandalore though.

Isn’t it better to wait for the final season next year before going deep with the editing?

Maybe…? But I think I can get the majority of it done now and then do a smaller update after Season 3 if it affects anything in my first few films. There are big events in Season 2 that will make Season 3 probably not contain anything that would alter my Season 1 films so I’m not too worried. I still want to get this done for people who want to watch Season 3 live without needing to sift through some slow episodes that might deter them from experiencing the core story.

Hey, just an update on this since I’ve been getting a bunch of DMs asking for this edit with Season 3 looming…

This edit is nowhere near complete and has been on pause for a lot longer than expected as I’ve spent all my available time on my The Way of Mandalore project. I do still fully intend to come back to this ASAP, but it won’t be ready until after Season 3 of the show concludes. I did make that initial Episode 0 which is ONLY the Clone Wars episodes with some edits to keep the focus on the Bad Batch characters and to frame their presentation in the way I want them to appear in the rest of my Bad Batch saga, but it’s not even a full length film.

My first full film edit from TBB show itself was ~50% complete when I paused it to finish the Mandalorian project. This Bad Batch edit saga is next up on my plate to complete, but I still have 1-2 months of work on The Way of Mandalore before I can move over to this. Sorry, I know a lot of people wanted to see this to get ready for Season 3, but this will have to be for a rewatch. Hopefully seeing Season 3 will help make this the best edit it can be though! I’m excited to see the conclusion and then make a fun movie saga from the full storyline.

Will you also do some finishing touches for episode 0?

Yes, definitely will go back and improve Episode 0. I’ve improved a lot as an editor since I started this so I should be able to do some polish!

Seems like this project has a lot of potential as there is a fair amount of filler episodes especially in series 2 which can be removed. Would love to watch it when its finished.

Thanks, though to be honest, this project is on the backburner for the foreseeable future. Wasn’t personally fond of Season 3 and thought the series peaked mid season 2 and it was all downhill from there, so that kind of killed my motivation to work on this. Might pick it up one day, but I would have a number of other edits with higher priority first.
