Of course I enjoy the Ralph McQuarrie inspired designs for everything in this series but wished the aspect ratio mirrored THE CLONE WARS, and most especially OT & PT. Y’know, 2.35:1/2.40:1.

I sometimes wonder what Rebels would have looked like in the letterbox aspect ratio. I think it was purely for budgetary reasons they had to make it 16:9 - less to render and all that. Still, I kind of prefer that for TV since it fills the whole screen.

I prefer OAR. When I get the legit BDs from Bull Moose, gotta be patient to buy Season 4 later, I’ll finally watch the bonus features.
Maybe 1.78:1 was chosen to mirror Ralph McQuarrie’s concept artwork inspiration for the show? I’m randomly guessing.

But, but, but, butt, BUTTE, there’s already a Spark of Rebellion. This one must be the sequel, or a retitling might be in order.
STAR WARS REBELS: Spark of Rebellion

ANYWAY. Three part structure/movies might be fitting because of the ‘arcs’ for this season. Possibly restructured again when all of Season 2 is released? Could be damn fun.
I know which scene I’d always leave in.

The title was a deliberate homage to Rebels.

I don’t think this episode will change when season 2 is released. It works too well as an opening movie. Episode 2 may well change.

Nice, and I’m quite a fan of REBELS. Especially regarding the Ralph McQuarrie artwork.
The scene I’m referencing is Episode 11 with Luthen’s ship and the Cantwell-class Imperial-etc. I’ve replayed that scene so many times on my home cinema. So damn awesome.
Excellent choice of font for the subtitle!
BRING ON SEASON TWO!

DARTH MAUL is vastly superior in THE CLONE WARS, and REBELS. Sam Witwer is the character official voice actor too.
You should watch those two series. THE CLONE WARS, CLONE WARS is the traditional animated LEGENDS canon animation, is recommended Chronological Story Order, not Broadcast Order.

Well, turns out the two seasons I received from the eBay seller were very convincing bootlegs. Except the print quality was low/washed out especially on the disc labels, not the correct case types, single layered for all discs, and burned, not pressed. Not even mad at the seller, just at the laziness of the bootlegger. Got a refund from the seller, left Neutral feedback, and 5 stars for everything. Was only $8.95, and the seller is more displeased with her distributor.
So, I ordered the first three Seasons on Blu-ray disc, pre-owned, from BullMoose.com. Of course with the usual kindly request for the slipcovers. Long time customer but opposite coast.
Fourth season might be tricky to get, more because of the price.

35mm scan, tho you would need to get the blu-ray set first.

Wouldn’t having the DVD be totally fine with getting the 35mm scan after? Myself, I have both already, 2001 DVD release and 2011 BD set which is the 2015 re-packaging, but not the scan yet.

You can own any or every home video version, but it will never change the legality of downloading copyrighted material. The whole idea hinges on selective enforcement, lax oversight, and “getting away with it.”

True.

Tales of the Jedi looking too much Original Trilogy, in a way, and not ancient.

I don’t think we read the same comic. The aesthetic of TOTJ is completely dissimilar to the OT aesthetic.

But perhaps you meant to say KOTOR and just got the two confused?

Sort of KOTOR too but that’d be for the other thread since I love both games, on PC you see.

I was talking about the KOTOR comic series. I’m not a gamer, so I have no personal experience with the games.

I’ve never read the KOTOR comics. I’m not a gamer either, but a video game player.
KOTOR II - The Sith Lords releasing too early. Should have waited awhile, because cut content mods.

Sort of KOTOR too but that’d be for the other thread since I love both games, on PC you see. But I haven’t all the mods yet. I haven’t read any of the Dark Horse Tales of the Jedi comics in years so I’m going by very vague memories.
OH YEAH! No KOTOR III, BATTLEFRONT III, STAR WARS: IMPERIAL COMMANDO, or STAR WARS: 1313! I would have played all four! Damn canceled games.

Too many canceled video games!
That, and there’s too many to choose from. The Yuuzahn Vong, however it’s spelled, invasion was tiring, and only read three of the books. STAR WARS Legacy was readable but very forgettable at best, so I didn’t hate it, but that it just exists. Interesting concept though. Tales of the Jedi looking too much Original Trilogy, in a way, and not ancient.
I also reread the hell out of DARKSABER since I wanted to know more about the Hutts in the 1990s, can’t honestly remember why I reread it so often. Must have been the awesome Drew Struzan artwork.
Hated that there were so many books but not enough comic book adaptations.

I’ve barely played ROGUE SQUADRON on N64 but have had it for PC for the longest time. Currently own it on Steam.
When I used to own a GameCube, of course I owned both Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader and III: Rebel Strike. Emulating with Dolphin is a bit tricky since I never bothered to grab any mods or whichever. Soon, of course.
Never played Battle for Naboo since I didn’t have a N64 or any console that generation. Was gaming on the computer, especially with the X-WING and TIE FIGHTER game series. Never really bothered with N64 emulation, though.
Love this series.

Nice. But I’m going to choose the original cinema mix instead of a remix. It’s what I tend to do for the 4K UHD discs I own, at least the titles which have the OG mix.

Thanks for letting us all know. It really added to the quality of this thread.

No need to be condescending. Just stating my preference for original cinema audio mixes. Thankfully this preservation has it as DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0.

As an FYI, the original theatrical track is 5.1 Dolby/Spectral not 2.0. It’s just only been released on home video in 2.0 - I’ve confirmed with the director - I’ll have more info on that audio track that I can share at a later date.

Are you telling me that Disney Movie Club BD is okay with the audio? Madness…

Already made this on a different forum.
Yes. there’s still a lot of STAR WARS on OG DVD NETFLIX which is exclusive to the USA. 2023 celebrates 25 years of DVD NETFLIX.
I still have my account. Only $16.38 per month for 2 titles at a time unlimited with Blu-ray disc option.
Here’s what DVD NETFLIX has. Many of the LEGENDS titles aren’t available for rental aka Save to Queue, but used to be. Those are: DROIDS, EWOKS, and the EWOK double feature DVD10.
Yup, I already rated all of these.
THE CLONE WARS and REBELS are DVD rentals only. THE CLONE WARS doesn’t have Season 5 or 6 for rental.

Would it be worth it to get the Open Matte DVDs at all? I own The Ultimate MATRIX Collection Blu-ray disc set, the individual 4K+BDs for THE MATRIX, THE MATRIX RELOADED, and THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS.

THE MATRIX RELOADED Full-Screen DVD from Decluttr
THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS Full-Screen DVD from Decluttr
Tons of other places to buy from too.

I used to own the below but I completely regret selling it.

ENTER THE MATRIX and THE MATRIX: PATH OF NEO are still excellent video games. Still have the latter for PC. Got it to work with Windows 10 with a lot of help from PCGamingWiki.

Doesn’t mean there can’t be mistakes to notice and be aware of; nothing is flawless.

True. I’ve figured since there’s too many official releases which have alterations galore, those alterations are of course going to add mistakes. Then there’s the fan edits, randomly speculating, which have fixed those mistakes specific to those versions too, audio included. 2004 DVD audio mix ‘error’ during the Death Star run isn’t an error since it’s the 2004 DVD version, not the 1977/1981 Cinema release or the 1997 Special Edition.
All-in-all, the 2019/2020 release for the OT aren’t the same versions as released originally in cinemas. Of course people know that on this forum. But not many in fact want to have all the officially released main versions. That’s a lot of shelf along with storage space if one is willing.
Repeating a prior post. 2019/2020 audio mix is that audio mix, not the OG cinema ones. I don’t mind owning it either since I’m aiming for all the official versions instead of just only one.

EddieDean said:

You’re right that TCW uses a slightly abnormal aspect ratio, so it’s not ‘true’ 720p by that measure. But still, it’s perfectly sharp for the quality of the actual animation. I don’t think you’d really notice any difference, even on a large screen, which I watch on myself. The video doesn’t have any compression artefacts.

I’m of the opinion aspect ratio and resolution aren’t necessarily the end thing. Have had too many non-anamorphic, for TVs, DVDs back in the day regarding 1.78:1 and greater. BUT, those were 480i/576i, not 480p/576p. Not HD of course but NTSC and PAL.
Still it’s nice THE CLONE WARS is featured in the 2.35:1/2.40:1 aspect ratio, same as the OT and PT.
Great project too.

I’ve a receiver with Atmos/DTS:X, but I’d rather have DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 since it’s more of the cinema experience.

I did both.

Hal 9000 said:

If it’s official, there’s no problems, then?

Correct. Because the 2019/2020 Disney+/4K/Blu-ray discs aren’t the 1977/1981 version for STAR WARS, not the 1980 version for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and not the 1983 version of RETURN OF THE JEDI. What with all the newer edits, of course there’s different audio mix for this version.
Comparisons on Movie-Censorship:

• STAR WARS - 2011 20th Century FOX Blu-ray disc versus 2019/2020 Disney+/4K/BD
• THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK - 2011 20th Century FOX Blu-ray disc versus 2019/2020 Disney+/4K/BD
• RETURN OF THE JEDI - 2011 20th Century FOX Blu-ray disc versus 2019/2020 Disney+/4K/BD

It’s not the 1997 Special Edition, nor the 2004 DVDs, nor the 2006 DVDs aka “GOUT”, nor the 2011 Blu-ray discs, for the Original Trilogy either. It’s what I have in italics in regards to which release it is.
It’s how I’ve justified all the differing official releases. I didn’t want to list the VHS or Laserdisc, let alone CED, of course. Just current physical media.

EddieDean said:

My edit plays in chronological order, though it does make some changes to the official Disney/Lucasfilm chronological ordering because I wanted to get some storylines kicking off sooner. But if you watch it end to end, it will not break either its internal canon or wider SW canon. So you can replace the original show with this.

This is 720p, not 1080p. My PC struggled with editing 1080p files, and also, IMO there’s very little gain for 1080 for this show, since the models and lighting are so flat, especially earlier on. I don’t think you lose much at all. There are one or two lower quality sources, but they are minor, and I don’t think you’d notice them. Some cut scenes are included, but again you wouldn’t notice a quality dip.

Credits come at the end of each of my episodes, and generally my episodes are each a full arc from the show. In a couple of places, an arc from the show is split over multiple episodes however, and each of these has their own credits.

Having said all of the above, you may instead prefer Numeraljoker’s edit, which doesn’t edit the content at all (in terms of shots/narrative), but which presents each arc as a single episode, all to 1080p+ and HDR (I believe). Where his is the original content to shiny quality, mine is designed to improve the narrative.

Numeraljoker’s edit then, but Seasons 1-6. Can be 1080p for that and not upscaled, since the BDs & THE MOVIE was 1080p. This forum has a bad layout, no search function amongst lacking other features, so I’m going to check the stickied thread for that.
Regarding the 2.35:1/2.40:1 aspect ratio of the show, did you find 720p to be okay with what you did regarding this fan edit? Especially with the episodes/movies you’ve alotted with the project, and the compression. I’ll reread the first post to see which cut scenes you added back in.
In fact I’m honestly interested in this and Numeraljoker’s presentation.
As mentioned, I’ll still get the BDs of Seasons 1 through 6, more for the bonus features.
Already have Season 7 in 4K with HDR, 31.7GB, as shown in the order in the image below. Haven’t even watched it yet, but would be neat to watch your edit of Season 7 afterward.

Thanks!

I AM heavily interested in this Fan Edit of THE CLONE WARS series. Maybe not Season based, but Chronological Story based.
If I have misunderstood your fan edit is in fact Chronological Story order for Seasons 1 through 6 (The Lost Missions), including the MOVIE, then of course I’m interested. Especially if it’s 1080p with subtitles, and puts all the credits at the end of the “chunk” of a particular story. Season 7 can be “left off” regarding fan edits for me, since it’s 4K HDR10, easier to watch separately, and would be a wild jump from seasons 1-6 in terms of resolution. That, and it was made after the animatics which are the abandoned stories aka different production. No idea how the quality is regarding deleted scenes from the Blu-rays or if those are included at all regarding this. I’d need to thoroughly re-read the first post of your thread regarding your fan edit.
Pity Lucasfilm Ltd. only had lossy audio instead of lossless regarding the Blu-ray discs of THE CLONE WARS Seasons 1 through 6. And no chronological story order either, which I doubt they’re willing to do.
Haven’t watched Tales of the Jedi yet.
I didn’t even watch THE CLONE WARS when it first broadcast. Watched it at a friends house on Blu-ray disc around the time STAR WARS REBELS Season 2 was on its second episode. Was a LOT of disc swapping since chronological story order with Seasons 1 through 6. Was hooked 100% with the Second Battle of Geonosis. Only have THE CLONE WARS movie on Blu-ray disc, and have been meaning to get the rest of the Blu-ray discs at least second hand.
I’ve a lot of catching up to do with my STAR WARS physical media collection. Thankfully a lot are brand new purchases instead of buying specific releases all over again.

Wasabi, you’re being way too antagonistic for this forum. Like what you like, and feel free to request or encourage editors to consider the things you like. But once you’re asked to stop, stop and move on. Quit harrassing editors, and quit taking such a combative tone.

I AM heavily interested in a Fan Edit of THE CLONE WARS. Not Season based, but Chronological Story based. I did take a quick look in your fan edit thread for The Clone Wars: Refocused (v1.5) [100%] - All core episodes COMPLETE! + Thoughts on the new TALES OF THE JEDI, from my understanding, it was based more on the originally broadcast Season model, and not the Chronological one.

More for VHS and Laserdisc. DVD too. Many mkv and other files which could be benificial with the conversion.

YOINK!
