So, this might sound a bit strange (please don’t judge me xddd), but I wanted to ask if it would be possible to make a version of the Mandalore movies with the traditional “A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…” and a text crawl?
While I was watching Patterson’s Ahsoka, it hit me how awesome it would be to have it feel like a seamless part of the main saga. I’m imagining something like:
• Prequel Trilogy (my preference is Hal’s edits)
• PixelJoker95’s Kenobi
• DigModiFicaTion’s Coaxium Heist
• Rogue One
• Original Trilogy (Adywan all the way)
• The Way of Mandalore
• Patterson’s Ahsoka
• Smudger’s Lost Planet
• Neverar’s / Poppasketti’s / Hal’s Sequel Trilogy
(Except no Andor. Andor is too perfect for an edit. I’d honestly rather just watch NFBisms’ Rogue One re-cut as three Andor episodes xddd)
That’s a great list! I appreciate the suggestion, but I probably will not be adding in opening crawls to my films. If anything, in the future I may animate a new logo for each with the movie title, but I kind of already have my own signature opening style that is already consistent between all 6 TWoM films. I’m a proponent of only having main Saga films have a crawl, and this TWoM saga is a side story.
Film update for everyone:
Book 6 production continues to progress very well! The final 20 minutes of the film are VERY technically heavy to edit, so it’s just taking a long time to get everything built. On my YT you’ll see a couple dozen hours of AE VFX work… The sound mixing in the last 2 episodes is atrocious, so doing a ton of audio work to give every single scene more punch and drama. I am quite close to having the entire film visually completed aside from color grading, and I just have to get a few more Slave 1 rotoscopes, and then add some new characters to the Mandalore ceremony at the end 😉 Then it’s a full audio work pass on the entire movie, then a final bug fix watch on the big screen after a render, send out for a couple previews to other editors for final touch up suggestions, and then release! So still a couple months away from that last part.
I am very happy with what I’ve been able to accomplish on Mandalore. I have written extensively in this thread and spoken on stream about how messy the last 2 episodes are in Season 3, and I’m very proud of what I was able to turn it into and am super excited to share with you all. There are some things that simply aren’t fixable, such as the battle coming to a pretty abrupt ending as it does in the show, there’s just nothing for me to build upon, but specifically the leadup I think has so much more weight now.
