Maybe there could be a normal and an extended cut? Just throwing around ideas.
Maybe there could be a normal and an extended cut? Just throwing around ideas.
I’ve only just made an account on this site and while I’ve watched a small handfull of edits this one is easilly one of my most anticipated ones to watch yet! I just don’t know if I should watch them now or hold my breath until the special editions mentioned come out…
Looks like the Mouse House is actually going with The Mandalorian and Grogu as the title of the spinoff film. I don’t understand why they couldn’t have just gone with The Mandalorians (plural). The casual fan still calls him “baby Yoda” or the litte green guy anyways. I don’t think Grogu has much name recognition for the general public.
However, I digress. I was just checking in to see how the edit was coming along. Is Book Five locked in yet? Take your time, just one of my favorite edits currently being worked on so I’m excited to see the progress. Have a nice weekend!
Hello There! Your edit might be our only chance to see Boba Fett with Din for awhile if you take Temuera Morrison recent comments about the character’s future status at face value. However, he could be remaining coy about his involvement in the upcoming film. Either way, interested to see how you incorporate the character into season three. Any update on Book 5 and/or Book 6? Well I hope you enjoy your (Labor Day) weekend; may the force be with you!
Can I have a link please? A more concise edit with all available content is exactly what I wanted.
Went through all 1-4 books, loved it a lot! Looking forward to Book 5, hope it will be re-released soon!
I started watching your Mandalorian edit, I think it’s amazing! Although I don’t understand why you took out the farmers defence episode?. I feel like that’s what created the bond between Din and Cara. Just felt like there was no reason for her to risk her life for someone that she shared a drink with. As for Boba Fett, you ever thought of adding a time stamp or something for the time in between Return of the Jedi and rebuilding his life?

A short “X Years ago” at least for the sarlacc escpape would be cool.
I agree Dimitrios!
Not a big deal, but I noticed something regarding the first four books. I believe I have the latest versions, as you sent me a link to these via DM, and I double checked the links and they are still accessible. Basically, Book 2 and 4 have a 1920 x 1080 resolution, whereas Book 1 and 3 have a 3840 x 2160 resolution. Not a big deal, but for consistency sake, I wasn’t sure if there is a higher quality version of Book 2 and 4 available to match those of 1 and 3. If you end up making any additional changes based on some of the suggestions made by others, just figured I would point it out.
Great work otherwise, and I can’t wait for the final two books!

For me, this would take me out of it. I get the idea but I think he does it well as is
Just out of curiousity, what is the status? 😃
And by no means should you feel pressured by this. Private life takes priority. 😃
Hey, everyone! I appreciate people asking for updates still. The simple truth is… I was having more fun working on other things for the past 3 months. I’ve been animating the Star Wars: Supernatural Encounters book into a visual audiobook experience and uploading to my YouTube channel. The author of that novel has loved it so much that he’s going to show my work at his booth at LegendsCon next year, so I’ve been very hard at work bringing that project to life. It takes me ~60 hours per video, and I’ve made 3 so far… So that’s where the editing time has been, sorry to those who are more interested in The Way of Mandalore! But passion drives the creativity.
Does that mean this project is cancelled and will never be completed? By no means! I’ve still opened up the files every couple weeks and slowly worked on some scenes, finished vfx removing Grogu in all of Plazir 15 final scene, trimmed some fat out of Book 6 to get closer to the intended runtime, and re-did some Boba lines. I am still 100% intending to finish this series, I just don’t know exactly when that will happen. I’m going to shift more time into editing it instead of the Supernatural Encounters project, but not full time effort just yet. Thanks to everyone still following and anticipating release, I still get another 3-4 requests from people to watch every single day. Sorry it’s taking so long to complete, but it will be finished soon ™!

Take all the time you need. Just glad to hear that it’s still in the works, albeit on the back burner. I’ll definitely be checking out this new project you have been working on, had no clue!
I know you need more time with Book 6, but if memory serves me correctly, you were holding off releasing Book 5 because of a handful of scenes you were undecided on including in Book 5 or 6. Out of curiosity, did you make a decision, and can we expect Book 5 somewhat soon?

That’s correct, it’s mainly the Grogu reuniting scenes that are holding me back from being able to release Book 5. Since I take Din to Ossus 2 times now, I have to 100% make sure each shot is unqiue, and I don’t have the finalized scene for Book 6 and don’t know if I’ll need one of those scenes for Book 5. Along with the fact that I haven’t finished editing Act 3 of the Battle for Mandalore, which might affect a few scenes of dialogue in Book 5.
The current intention is to go through the previous films for final release then get to Book 5.

Hey Acbagel,
I figured we would hear again from you soon than later. Glad to hear you are working on projects you are passionate about. I’d like to check the Supernatural Encounters work project out as well someday. I am still very much looking forward to Book 5 and 6 when you finally have the time and creative drive to finish this project out strong. Please take your time and we will continue to watch your career with great interest. Have a nice weekend and may the force be with you!
I did see one of your premiere’s on youtube for your visul novel project. I think that’s awesome. It’s not really my thing but as I was watching I had the thought of “This is the future of filmmaking.” You’re a pioneer!
I also showed my wife your Mandalorian series for the first time (1 through 4). She has not watched Mando/BOBF at all. She did enjoy it a lot, and said that she would not have given the TV shows a chance otherwise. Although she is similar to me, at parts we wanted it to move even faster (which I know most of the audience on here is not like us). The Mayfeldt plots in book 1 and 4, we felt could have been cut. However I know the runtime would have required you to restructure everything else to do that, so we arent gonna give you too much grief. But overall she wanted to commend the work you’ve done and thank you for making the series watchable.
We are excited to see 5 and 6! I have not even watched your old Book 5 because I am waiting for your new version. I am very excited because the Boba Fett stuff is my favorite.
An aside, after watching your Book 4 which introduces live action Ahsoka, we then watched Kai Patterson’s Ahsoka movie. That worked really well imo
It is incredible how Acbager can make a fantastic series into incredible films. The Way Of Mandalore is one of the best Star Wars fanedits I’ve ever seen and I’m excited to see the way he will re-edit Season 3 since it is the worst part of the series.

Thanks, for the support! I do miss interacting with all you guys here and brainstorming and working through things. Though the Supernatural Encounters and discord has been just as fun engaging with! And I’ll soon get to meet some of my all time favorite Star Wars creators like Kevin J. Anderson and Chris Avellone because of my side project there, so it’s been worth it for sure. Like I said though, I’ll be back here full-time soon to finish this up, I haven’t forgotten or lost the desire to finish it properly.

That’s really cool! Thanks for sharing. I have my own ideas for Ahsoka that I’d love to explore sometime, but I think I’ll wait for Season 2 and Mando/Grogu movie so I can properly integrate everything into a cool Post-Skywalker-saga saga. I’ve been wanting to make Andor edits too, but also was waiting for Season 2 of that, so my lineup is going to be: 1. Finish next Chapter of Supernatural Encounters December '24, start back up on TWoM and finsh it Q1 '25, then start Andor in April/May '25 as S2 releases.

Wow, friend! That’s so very kind of you. I really appreciate you sharing that. I can’t wait to share the last 2 movies with you guys!
