There’s no reason why he can’t call him Darth.
Because Darth is not his name and he’s never called him Darth before or since and no other Sith is addressed as just Darth. That’s 3 reasons.
You have to. I don’t know if episode 4 can be saved. It’s bad bad. No underwater security? Darth Vader now speed walks? Snow speeders just hover oddly? vader doesn’t kill failures? Obiwan thinks a trench coat for a disguise will work? I literally cannot think of one salvageable moment? What if Obiwan let the water come in and they will escaped through the water?
Either way it would be convinient and/or bad writing. How so? Obi-Wan doesn´t have the opportunity to look for a better disguise (per your argument) because the writers deem it to be that way. So your rhetorical questions running nowhere.
Unless the Empire has Bantha costumes knocking around for R&R events then there’s no disguise he could have worn at all that would have hidden Leia as well. That’s not the writing, that’s just bad viewing of a scene that doesn’t require other interpretation. Also bare in mind he made it to within a few metres of the shuttles so it must have been an effective disguise.
If Obiwan was in a Storm Trooper outfit with Leia in a supply crate being wheeled/hovered around, that could have worked. What if it wasn’t them caught, but then Tala for the earlier scene as a potential spy.
Because that wouldn’t have been quick. The point is to show the time crunch the escape is under, having time to change into a full set of armour and dig out a crate would not convey a hurried rush in the same was as throwing on a coat did.
The real question is why not bring more rebreathers and escape under water in the first place.

This episode just screamed TV filler episode and a bad one at that. Thankfully, it shouldn’t be too hard to skip it in the movie edits. While Obi-Wan is fighting Vader, Leia actually gets to the transport ship and is not intercepted by Reva. Also fixes the Reva magically appearing at the end of the tunnel.
Utilize the Bacta tank opening scene as a transition to “hopefully” Episode 5. Possibly utilize some of the other inquisitor base scenes to fill out transitions.

Well it could be saved by you just watching it better.
There’s limited security because they feel confident nobody would attack a castle full of Sith, they say that at least twice. Vader can always walk quickly and has done before, he just mostly strolls out of choice. The speeders have appeared a single other time in VI where they had no need to hover so that’s not even slightly a valid criticism. Oddly enough Obi-Wan was trying to escape from the castle and didn’t have time to stop off in the TARDIS wardrobe for a better disguise and used the only thing he had at the time. Oh, and only Obi-Wan has a rebreather, how do you think he’s going to get Leia and the spy out underwater?
Now if only we had the technology to scale up the Fifth Brother by about a dm and elongate the GIs head.
Should you use the theme song from “In a Mirror Darkly” for all the opening credits for the series? It fits better as the main theme rather than “Faith of the Heart”.
I doubt that’s within the scope of the project, but also, it doesn’t fit better.
The closing theme is the one originally written for the opening credits anyway.
I really like the newest grade. It helps making the live action and CG look more integrated as well as enhancing the locations without drowning them out.
Oh yeah, I forgot he was in the Genonosis episodes.
So, I came across with this edit of Rex in Episode II and I thought it looked pretty nice (Even though I am not sure if he was meant to be there in canon)

He says early on that he was never on Geonosis, but Cody was and I think Wolfe also.
This is looking transformative.

What do you mean “betrays”, Artan? In the original deleted scene, Jerjerrod does order to fire on Endor. I do think it would be cool to recut that scene so he never gives the order, though.
His hesitation is evident as if he’s trying to convince himself not to give the order. He spends a lot of time dithering after the gunner tells him ‘Moon Target is in range’, they get in target before the Falcon enters the superstructure and doesn’t say ‘fire’ until the Falcon is at the core.
It’s a shame Jerjerrod’s role in the film wasn’t given to Piett. The deleted scenes of Jerjerrod and Vader and then Jerjerrod questioning and finally betraying the Empire would have hit a lot more if it had been Vader’s right-hand admiral.
I’d propose a perfectly simple and easy AI remaster of the deleted scenes and a extensive deepfake of Piett’s face over Jerjerrod’s and total AI generated dialogue and then to replace the chump on the Executor with Jerjerrod. Shouldn’t take more than 5 years…
I agree with most of the comments on Facebook. Loosing the extended Death Star battle especially is a sore loss.
I’d happily check this out as well. Do you have any video examples of Broken Bow? Most of the images look like an improvement but it’s hard to tell with just images.
I’m really liking those Rogue One additions. The Death Troopers could do with moving a bit (I know it’s only a concept at the moment) but they and the hologram look like they should be there.
Painstakingly rotoscope Luke’s saber in RotJ to be blue again.
To make it easier to see, change Tattooine’s sky to green.
But only in scenes where the lightsabre is visible in order to match the new palace doors which are only three times the size on the outside.
Abrams grades films like a film student.
artefact
Just gonna point out that there are a number of instances of Star Wars spelling this specific word the American way, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen them use the British spelling of words in general: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Sith_artifact
Looking at the sources it’s only written that way in books because the books are American published. The word never appears onscreen in-universe or in crawls. The only word that is spelt differently that does appear in the crawls is ‘armored’ in ANH and RotJ.
Eddie, I’d say stick with whichever you want. Imperials have pronounced Lee-a and ley-a, zed and zee, and lef-tenent, loo-tenent all interchangeable so it’s not unreasonable to assume their spelling is also varied.
It’ll be the trade off. Jakku looks okay in either grade because sand does vary a lot but snow should always look white day (I have no idea how they manage to keep mucking up Hoth). I feel your new grade does that, ev en if I prefer the less blue version for the interior of Starkiller Base (grey matches the original Imperial interiors better).
Here’s my detailed feedback and custom follow-up edit list for the final three episodes of Season 1. As always, most is subjective, but feel free to take anything that you want.
Please do note the text issue for “Children of Night” and the two text issues for “The Future of the Force.”
CHILDREN OF NIGHT
- The opening text uses the word “Whilst.” Though technically correct, it is the only instance in any of these crawls where you use an archaic term like this. I suggest replacing it with “While” for consistency.
Whilst it may need looking at for consistency with the existing grammar, but ‘whilst’ is used about as much as ‘while’ in England and is far from archaic. As far as I’m aware EddieDean is from England Scotland (dammit, that was almost an act of war).
Edit: Case in point. I didn’t even notice, but I started my sentence thusly.
Edit: Also ‘artefact’ is a legitimate spelling (one that was wrong on a massive billboard in London in Eternals), again, it’s the Commonwealth spelling so it’d be a matter of consistency not correction.
Dub over all stormtroopers with Temeura Morrison, whether the dialogue makes sense or not.
Redub Bobba, Jango, and all the clones with Michelle Ang.
I wanted to chime in and say that I like both of Burbin’s ideas. It did feel funny for Grievous to be focused on the witches before he has even taken care of the Jedi in his lair. Like, he has Jedi running around in his house and he’s like, “I need to go kill Ventress and those witches!”
I think it fits for him. He’s not considering Fisto much of a threat but he’s eager to go out and kill Ventress at last.
I was confused. I loaded it this morning to look at after work and find it’s different on the tracker. I eventually worked out why with my keen intellect.
I think the two main episodes work well together. Sending the Jedi after Grievous is a very Ventress thing to do and I found it strange she in the actual show she has one assassination strike against Dooku then gives up.
The edits to LoG work well and don’t feel jumpy and the cut to Mas is a bit quick but there’s no way around that.
Did you do any changes to the music? The scene of the Nightsisters commandeering the AAT sounds very like the Knights of Ren theme.
Retribution would be a good name as it ties up the loose ends and opens some new ones in terms of the Savage/Ventress/Grievous/Dooku (and by ecxtention Palps/Talzin) relationships.
I noticed no technical issues (missfades, audio issues etc.) but then again I’m not usually good at picking that up.
I will say the composition of the edit is very well thought out and things like the juxtaposition of both Grievous and Ventress getting rebuilt is interesting and something that works as if it was scripted.
But, a question for you guys:
One additional option I have here, is to end with Savage on a rampage in the diner looking for Maul, finding a further clue and getting more of Talzin’s guidance, ending up on the ship which’ll take him to Lotho Minor to find Maul. I originally cut that from the start of the relevant episode, as it wasn’t necessary as an episode introduction (he has the medallion, we can start with him just already arriving at the planet), but if I were to put it here, it would serve to bridge the prior Nightsisters episode (four episodes prior) with the next Savage/Maul episode (four episodes hence). Though it doesn’t directly pertain to the content of this episode, it might provide some good wider continuity and let that plotline feel like it’s still running? What do you guys think?
I think that could work, it would help with the ongoing story style and spread things out a little bit.
