The Clone Wars: Refocused [COMPLETE] — Page 101

The Deserter is already included (the last part of the three-part ‘Tales of the Lost Clones’ anthology, my episode s02e07). But I’ll push the others up, they’re popular requests.

If possible I’d love to see a bit more geonosis content, I miss waxer and Boyle

Yeah, the extended versions of all of the major arcs are on the cards.

I still come back to the movie in my mind from time to time. Obviously Smudger has created an excellent movie to open TCW. In my observation Smudger is focused on the pure quality of the individual movie experience with his - so each is extremely well paced and satisfying standalone. Whereas, I think my focus would be a bit more around treating the movies as part of a very serialised whole, and retaining (objectively weaker) moments that Smudger would have cut for quality and in-the-moment focus.

In essence, any movie I’d make I’d want to keep compatible with my episodic TCW:R, being able to just directly replace a handful of episodes. I think Ahsoka’s early episodes, like Assassin and Malevolence, are important to her arc. I don’t know if you need the Malevolence itself, but I really like the Ahsoka-Plo storyline there. I think there’s a plot that could work which uses the 501st trilogy as the spine, with Assassin’s story about Ventress grabbing Gunray as the prelude to 501st’s invasion, and the 501st’s imminent invasion as the motivator for the urgency which gives Ahsoka the conflict about saving Plo in Malevolence.

That’s three for that episode. I don’t intend to do any heavy editing for these extra episodes and extended versions, they’ll be more just wrapping them in the TCW:R trappings and giving them a single polish pass. But I’ll prioritise them.

g00b has an excellent Rebels that keeps improving. I like Ahsoka as it is but there’s a few edits in the top couple of pages here. Haven’t seen much Batch.

And thank you!

I remember! 😃 When I do this batch, I’ll pick that up too.

Not that I’m aware of, but I haven’t been looking out for it.

Just started this today, and have seen the first four episodes.

The first two truly are a little clunky. But I doubt its possible two make any them better, when the source material is what it is. The Duchess of Mandalore was a treat tough, but Assassin was OK at best.

Looking forward to the rest, I guess it will only get better now that the introductions is over with.

On a side note: It’s interesting to first watch the episode and then to read the posts in this thread discussing it.

You’re out of the woods - the first two plus Assassin are the weakest. Rest of the season is good to decent, and then it’s properly great. I’d be interested to know what you found interesting about the early discussion!

The changes is fun to read, to see if I have caught any of them while watching. I rarely do! I’ve only watched TCW once, so it hasn’t got very stuck in my memory.

And it’s always fun to get a glimpse of the process - from your first version to how it ends up after input from the other members of the forum.

Folks, not quite a promise as who knows how life goes, but it looks like I’ll have some time coming up soon to put a bit more work into this. Is there anything I’d previously promised, or anything else relevant to TCW, that you guys would like me to prioritise? (For example, minor fixes, extended versions of episodes, etc)

I was wondering if you managed any work on this? Your edits are top notch.

Unfortunately not - life’s got away from me again. I’m still interested to hear any priorities, and I record them all, but I don’t know when I’ll get back to this. I definitely consider the project open still, though.

They wouldn’t have complete narratives that way. The request there has always been for extended versions.

Season two subtitles have been added, thanks to g00b ❤️
