I would like to jump on the link bandwagon.

I noticed you changed the title to “A Threat from Beyond.” This is a good change and much more specific to the Ahsoka show.

Sounds great. Is the plan now to add a little iteration to a couple of your earlier movies for story consistency, such as the beskar spear?

The plan is to go back through them, convert them to 4K and make sure the through stories are tight. I’m still not sure about the Beskar spear. My current workaround flows pretty well using the dialogue from Season 3 - Mando says he got it from Jawas that claim to have been on the surface of Mandalore. However, that may change when I go back through them.

I loved how much your edit improved Mando Season 3, and am hoping this will do the same for Ahsoka…

Would be great to receive a link please?

The 1080 version is uploaded and available for streaming and download.
The 4K version is just being compressed and will be available from tomorrow.
I’ll send a link to the folder to all that have requested it. The 4K will appear in that folder when it’s ready.

Here is the artwork. Episodes 1 to 4 will have updated artwork this week to reflect the new series title.

I’m only halfway through, but this is fantastic so far! You’ve really got a knack for this.

Ever think about making this Ep 4 and moving Mando season 3 to Ep 5? Or even Ep 3. This way the transportation of the prison fits closer with capturing the prisoner? It would also connect the series as a whole better.

Do you know what, that is a good idea. I had mentally discounted that option because there is a scene in episode 7 that references events in Mandalorian season 3. However, I haven’t included that scene in my Ahsoka edit so that doesn’t matter.

I plan to go back through my Mandalorian and Boba Fett edits over the next month and do some tidying and tightening of the continuity. I’ll do that and see how it feels to swap the order. I generally like sticking to canon, but as you say, the movies would feel more connected with an order switch.

Right now it just feels like Mando, Mando (with Ahsoka), Another kind of Mando, Mando, Ahsoka.

This would be Mando, Mando (with Ahsoka), Ahsoka, Another kind of Mando, Mando

I don’t know … kind of doesn’t feel so one sided.

Agreed. And thinking more about it, the Imperial shadow council scene in Season 3 discussing Thrawn’s whereabouts may be more impactful if we know that he’s returned to the galaxy.

Really impressive edit. Quite clear that an enormous amount of work has gone into this given how much has been removed and how coherent the finished product is. The full show was ‘pretty good’, but this edited movie version takes it into ‘very good’ territory. Highly recommended.

Thanks STF. It’s certainly the most edited of my projects. Unfortunately that takes time and it’s a competitive world these days in the Fanedit community! Hopefully it was worth the wait.

I’ve just watched this, and congratulations you’ve improved it no end!

I’ve got lots of positive things I could say but I feel at this stage you’re still looking for feedback to hone and improve it. You could leave it as it is and the series would have benefitted greatly from your edit but I did spot some small things that could make it even better (in my humble opinion).

There were two minor technical glitches. One, when the Lucasfilm logo fades out at the start, it left artifacts on the screen. The second was when Sabine points her gun at the rock critter and says “that tricks over” there is a momentary glitch.

There are several more subjective ways I feel the edit could be improved, and please feel free to ignore these if you disagree. Firstly, my suggestion would be to remove the ‘traffic cop’ sequence, when the two spaceships accost Sabine on the highway. It slows things down, its extraneous to the plot, and it mentions “missing the ceremony” - a ceremony which has already been cut from this edit. But most importantly it rings the bulls**t detector, as the ship pulls away from the pursuit for no reason literally within just a mile from Sabines pad. If they genuinely wanted to confront Sabine and escort her to the city they could have flown just one mile further to her destination and done so. It’s a lame moment and could very easily be removed (you can still have Sabine bombing it down the highway listening to her rebellious rawk muzak, just cut to her arriving home before the cops show up).

“Do it!.. for Ezra” my suggestion would be to keep that line in, spoken by Baylan to Sabine. It’s a cool callback to Palpatine and Anakin in Revenge Of The Sith (which foreshadows Anakins reappearance in the flashback). You also hear it whispered again later when Ahsoka investigates the scene so it really needs to be there.

Later when the troopers surround Sabine and Ezra on Peridea, maybe cut Shin ordering “fire!” as again its a lame unrealistic moment with too much time left hanging in the air before the order and any action being taken. Feels too contrived, you can improve this.

My final suggestion would be to keep Sabine’s force push to help Ezra make his big leap. Seeing as you’ve kept in her failed attempts to move the mug, this is important to close and complete her arc. She does have the force but her ability to use it has to mean something to her, to help someone she loves. That’s Sabine’s arc and again imho needs to be there.

I hope these don’t come across as negative criticisms - because they are intended as constructive feedback. You’ve done a fantastic job with making Ahsoka into a movie length format, and a massive well done and thank you are in order!
