vaderkin said:

and just curious did you use the special edition from 1997? i think that would fit SC38 reimagined best!

It’s the special edition, however the scene with Han and Greedo is the original with Han shooting first. Also, I made a version that excludes the scene with Jabba the Hutt as well as a version that includes it, so you can choose whether or not you want that scene.

<strong>The Book Of Boba Fett</strong> (live action series) - a general discussion thread - * <strong>SPOILERS</strong> *
Time

Anyway, what do you guys suppose is gonna happen with Tatooine’s political and cultural environment going forward? Is Boba still gonna be running things as a crime lord by the time of RoS and beyond, or will he eventually transition things to a more legitimate government? I feel like Tatooine is being set up to develop into an overall more peaceful and less crappy place to live. The only hint we really have so far of the status of Tatooine in the future is that old lady traveling alone at the end of RoS. I wonder if the fact that she was traveling alone could be a sign that Tusken Raiders are no longer a threat by that time period.

Also, speaking of Tuskens, does anyone else really enjoy how these Disney+ shows have been developing and humanizing various mook aliens from the older movies? What aliens do you suppose could be next? Will we see some Hutts who aren’t crime lords at some point? Will we get to see some Ortolans who aren’t just playing drums all day? Maybe an Ewok who pulls a Star-Lord and leaves behind his terrestrial bound brethren to go have a bunch of adventures in space?

Also, what do you suppose Grogu is doing as of the ST and beyond, now that we know he doesn’t stay with Luke and thus probably survived? At that point he’d be, what, in his 80s, so still a kid? I wonder when his species learns to talk. I’m guessing if they ever show Grogu later in his life it’ll be well after he learns to talk and reaches maturity. Maybe we’ll skip ahead like 200 years at some point and see a young adult Grogu wearing a modified suit of Mandalorian armor while wielding a modified dark saber.

People really need to stop projecting so many expectations onto Star Wars.

People really need to stop projecting so many assumptions onto how others consume tv shows and movies.

I mean, if you’re happy dissecting everything from a meta perspective, more power to you. But that doesn’t seem to be the case for most people in the various fanbases I’m part of, rather there’s a general attitude of discontent if not outright misery.

Regardless, though, I just don’t see any merit in that line of discussion anymore. “X story is good because it does this list of things right! Y story is bad because it does this list of things wrong!” “No, X story is bad because it does this list of things wrong! Y story is good because it does this list of things right!” Maybe it’s just because I’ve gotten too old for that kind of critical mindset, Idaknow, but I’m done with it, personally.

I enjoyed it. Not as much as the Mandalorian, but that’s okay. It was still a good time and a nice little bridge between Mando season 2 and 3.

People really need to stop projecting so many expectations onto Star Wars. Actually modern fandoms need to do that in general, I swear there’s not a single fandom
nowadays where the fanbase collectively enjoys more than 1% of its content.

Life is more fun if you learn to just sit back and enjoy the ride, instead of picking everything apart and fixating on how you’d have personally handled various details.

BOBF was a mess, dude. Good that you and others liked it, but it’s super normal people being disappointed with this series, because it is disjointed. It’s not about “fixating on how you’d have personally handled various details”, the producers could surprise us with something we don’t expect and that could be awesome, but the series is weak in various aspects that users here already pointed out. It’s not people’s fault if writing in other shows are bad, either.

Well, all I can say is I disagree. Enjoyment is all subjective, and how much you enjoy things is based as much on your state of mind as anything else.

I’m just over the whole “Does it suck or does it not suck” conversation that swallows up almost all discussion of anything in any fandom. What does it matter? What does it accomplish? Okay so not every story is perfect, not every writer is equally as gifted, not every gifted writer hits a perfect home run every time, oh well. Why not just focus on the good things, try to see things from the perspective of what the writer was going for and immerse yourself in the fantasy as though it were real, instead of picking it apart from a meta perspective? It’s more fun that way.

Anakin should have become Darth Vader before the last 10 minutes of Episode III
Time

People are too obsessed with the idea of trilogies. Honestly they should have never bothered numbering the Star Wars movies at all, and should have just filled things in with whatever movies they wanted to make. So like, for instance, they could have just made a bunch of movies about young Anakin at different stages of his life, or about other characters in that time period (which could feature Anakin as a supporting character or guest character), and we wouldn’t know the exact one where Anakin would turn to the dark side, but we would see the gradual transition. And then a later movie could just be about him hunting down Jedi. Others could be about other characters, like Obi Wan.

I mean that’s eventually what the Star Wars meta narrative evolved into, when you factor in Clone Wars and all the standalone movies and Disney Plus shows. There’s no reason they couldn’t have just written things that way in the first place, instead of forcing the prequels and sequels to mirror the OT.

Star Wars Rebels with the epilogue scene removed (for chronological viewings) (Released)

gbroyce said:

Would love a link for those movies! Also just an idea, have the epilogue as a post credit scene as a tease to what will come in the future (with the mandalorian and book of boba fett) but really like the idea of taking it away from the main story.

I like the idea of using the epilogue as either a prologue or post credits scene for a later story, but I’m not sure where the best place would be. Actually when does it take place in relation to the upcoming Ahsoka series? Is the Ahsoka series going to be directly following up on that plotline? Or did that stuff happen earlier in the timeline and some future cartoon or comic or something will cover it instead? Always hard to tell with so many connected stories floating around everywhere.

If you’re still actively sharing this 2 years after release, it promises to be a gem of an edit I am sincerely hopeful you’d send me a PM.
I may use it to ‘finally’ give my brother a version of A New Hope that gets him excited for the original trilogy, the lack of prequel-level saberduels was a big turnoff for him the first few times I tried to get him to watch. (You’ll have to excuse him, he’s barely 2 years older than A Phantom Menace, and has very little patience for pre-1990 film quality.)

Small universe syndrome is here to stay in Star Wars, may as well get used to it. What’s the point of having all these cool characters in this sandbox if we never get to see them cross paths with eachother? Realistic statistical probabilities of people meeting eachother…blah, that’s boring. Never tell me the odds. Just lighten up and learn to have some fun.

Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *

If anyone’s curious, I just did a post on my blog detailing how I would handle post-TRoS content if I were Disney:

http://henrynsilva.blogspot.com/2021/12/my-pitch-for-future-of-star-wars.html?m=1

Looks good to me. I especially like the “age of division” idea. Makes the sequel trilogy feel more justified, since it brings the galaxy to a different place than it was at after RotJ.

<strong>The Book Of Boba Fett</strong> (live action series) - a general discussion thread - * <strong>SPOILERS</strong> *
Time

I wonder how much his clone history is gonna be played up in this. The Mandolorian had Kuiil make a random reference to “strandcasts” (a term I’d never heard before Kuiil mentioned it, but apparently it’s a term for a kind of cloning done by the Sith/Empire/FO, which is how Snoke, Rey’s father, and Palpatine’s new body were created), then they had the Imperial clone experiments in The Mandalorian and Dr. Pershing with the Kamino symbol on his uniform, and then when Boba was introduced in The Mandolorean they brought up him being a clone pretty quickly. Also there’s the stuff with Omega and the Kaminoans happening in the Bad Batch.

It seems like they are building up the cloning side of things and slowly trying to fill out the very vaguely-defined clone backstory elements of Rise of Skywalker. And with Boba Fett being the franchise’s most famous clone, I wonder if this the show they’re gonna go more into that stuff with.

Why do I have a feeling this will involve Darth Plagueis and “The Acolytes of the Beyond” leading into the history of who they are and how they end up worshipping Palpatine. I think Exegol and TROS references will be high in this one.

I’m definitely hoping this gives us more info on that whole sith cult stuff. And also that post-Rotj shows eventually give us more info about the whole cloning shenanigans side of it.

Instead what we got was Maul still looking to pick a fight with Obi-Wan. Seriously, what a waste.

Maul’s story always had to end with Obi-wan. Since TPM his fate has been tied to revenge on Obi-wan and he’s had tunnel vision for that. In The Clone Wars, he vows “we shall start with revenge” and first takes aim at Obi. First him, then Palpatine. But he never even manages to kill Obi-wan, so it communicates the same, that Maul’s quest for vengeance against the Emperor was futile. It also provides a very interesting scenario where we know if Maul had won, he would have taken Luke as an apprentice, just like he would have done with Anakin in TPM.

Maul dying in a Vader vs Maul duel would have been pure fanservice and not relevant to his arc in the slightest.

Yeah, I challenge anyone to watch this…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVkUglhoon0&ab_channel=DarthPorg

…and still claim that it makes more sense to end Maul’s story with a random fight against Vader. It had to end with him against Obi Wan. After losing everything else, vengeance against Obi Wan was the only thing he had left to cling to. It’s the throughline connecting his story from beginning to end.

I watched your edit as I can see that I found most of the edits interesting based on how it can create a great sense of impact which you done well in most of them
Something to improve on is

  • when it came to 44:01 to where it ends to the grand inquisitor to agent kallus it seems that there has been a bit of a black screen. You can fix the transition by matching the clips to its sequence.

Thanks! As mentioned in the OP, the only change I personally made was removing the epilogue, but I’ll see what I can do about cleaning up some other areas like the one you brought up.
