Hey Acbagel, hope you had a nice holiday season. Just checking in to see if you started tinkering with the final two books again yet. No pressure, just generally curious as this was one of my favorite projects on here and season three of Mando combined with Book of Boba Fett are definitely the material that need the most help. Also, did you watch Skeleton Crews and if so, what did you think of it in general?
Darth! Thanks for checking in. I just finished my last video for Star Wars: Supernatural Encounters on my channel, and sadly, Legendscon 2 has been cancelled (where I was going to be able to show my videos, sad!) so I am officially back into full-time production on finishing The Way of Mandalore. I am starting by watching all of my other films start to finish, with a goal of releasing the full series in early spring.
In the meantime… I DO have the new The Way of Mandalore poster to reveal! The OP has also been updated with my new custom poster here, feel free to download for your own servers!

Really proud of that poster design. I tried to incorporate elements from EVERY season of the show into this, so seamlessly blending Boba, Din, Grogu, Tatooine, Nevarro, and Mandalore! I love how it turned out.
As far as Skeleton Crew, yes, I watched it. I thought it was a fine kids adventure story. For what it was, it was well made. I am not particularly fond personally of side-stories that don’t contribute much to the Star Wars mythos and lore, but I would say it was impossible to actively dislike SC. It was a good show that accomplished what its goals were. I will probably never rewatch it but I don’t have any ill feelings toward it. But I desperately want Star Wars to move back into sagas, epics! Give me the legend of Ulic Qel-Droma, a dark Quinlon Vos story, live action Republic Commandos etc. Not tiny mini-stories almost entirely disconnected from the saga. But that’s just me!

Hi, I thought your project was really cool, especially regarding the Boba Fett changes. I haven’t seen your edits yet, but I saw that you’re adding AI-generated dialogues to the project. I’d like to suggest an idea related to Cad Bane. I haven’t read the entire thread about this edit, so I apologize if what I’m going to say has already been discussed.
So, I thought Cad Bane’s introduction was really well-thought-out in the series. He’s set up as a major adversary for Boba, but audiences who’ve only watched BOBF don’t know anything about the history between the two, and the series makes no effort to give a little more context to their past together. So one idea that crossed my mind was that it might be interesting to have Boba have a nightmare or something with Cad Bane, maybe with Cad throwing a few intimidating lines in the dream. Maybe, if possible, produce some lines of Boba talking about Bane with Fennec or someone else, so that Cad represents a threat to Boba, an unresolved issue, or even a trauma. Ultimately, something that plants a seed so that the audience becomes emotionally invested in the final fight between the two, as if Cad represented a past that Boba was killing off and wants to forget forever, or something like this.
In other words, nothing too elaborate, just to really give a little more context to Bane.
If you find the idea interesting, there is this Cad Bane fan film, where you could take some frames to perhaps use in your edits:

I am aware that the Bane used in this fan film is quite different aesthetically from the Bane in the series, but perhaps the frames shown at 12:48, 6:30 ou 1:04 could be used, especially if used in a dream sequence, as some distortion effects could be used on the images if necessary.
The only problem is that I don’t know exactly what Bane represents to Boba Fett, because as far as I remember, in Clone Wars, there is no record of a difficult relationship between the two or anything like that, to the point of causing a big feud between them. But even so, I still think that it might be possible to improve even a little their dynamic shown in BOBF, through the use of AI.
It’s worth investigating, as the showdown does feel pretty random and there isn’t proper emotional build-up so it all ends up feeling rather hollow. However, I would say my film inherently addresses this to a degree because this moment isn’t the giant climax of the end of an entire show like it was for BoBF, it’s just an event that happens to drive Boba toward Mandalore. So by lowering the stakes a bit in the placement of the events, it doesn’t feel as much as a letdown. But I’ll review that fan-film and see if anything can be utilizied.
Should have Book 2 updated and released here in the coming weeks!
