Yeah, probably a good time for me to dip out until I’ve seen the movie as well.
See you on the other side, folks! Less than two weeks to go…
This edit is now available on MySpleen for anyone who has access. Poppasketti graciously gave me permission to upload his most recent V2 encode in the 34GB 1080p and 4GB 720p flavors over there.

I dig this a lot, especially the Kylo’s eye through the mask and the Empire Stirkes Back vibe of it.
Yep, I need a high-res textless version of this, too! Happy there are so many solid TROS posters to choose from.
Thank god a mod got to that before I saw it…
Unfortunately, streaming quality isn’t as high as Blu-Ray quality would be. And also unfortunately, if it’s not released on physical disc or, at minimum, a purchaseable download (versus streaming subscriptions), working on an edit using material from it would mean that edit can’t be discussed at fanedit.org or listed on IFDb due to their extremely strict “own the source” rule.
Sadly, though, I agree - it’s unlikely that The Mandalorian will be released on physical media in the forseeable future.
If something isn’t commercially available on physical media, I feel like being subscribed to the service where it is commercially available should count as “owning the source” for the purposes of fanediting.
It’s very explicitly against fanedit.org’s rules, unfortunately. I don’t believe we have as strict a policy on that here.
They do allow purchasing a digital copy (e.g. from iTunes or Amazon) as far as compliance with their Own the Source rule, but simply being subscribed to a streaming service, even if that’s the only way one can access that particular content, doesn’t count. You have to be able to pay for the specific movie/show you want to edit in order to comply with their rules. For instance, Stranger Things edits weren’t allowed over there until the Target-exclusive BR release came out, and season 3 is still off limits on fanedit.org until a physical release exists.
Again, I don’t believe the rules about that here are as strict. There’s already a Mandalorian edit available here.

Nothing beyond the fact that it’s the same species as Yoda.
Yep, exactly. The player you’re using doesn’t support DTS-HD MA, which is the way the default English audio tracks are encoded, so it’s defaulting to a random non-English track.
Try using MPC-HC or VLC or MPV as a player. Windows default media players likely won’t do you much good.
PM-ing means sending a Private Message, although they’re really called Private Topics now.

They all suck.
I’ve been using Adobe Premiere for years and it rarely steers me wrong. It’s available on both Windows and OS X.
Yeah, there’s no ESB 2.5 as far as I’m aware.
Disney+ does certainly have some issues with their UI to work out.
If I were to edit with isolated audio tracks, might there be a track that is mostly just the music? (I’ve never edited with 5 channel audio so I’m not sure where to even start with that.)
No, it’s all still mixed. Each channel will have sound effects and music in it, except sometimes the center channel will be clean and dialogue-only (though that’s rare).
You might get super lucky and the part you’re looking for will have little/no sound effects in the rear channels, but that’s also very unlikely.
Too bad my TV only supports HDR10. 😦 Still think it looks pretty good overall though, I haven’t noticed them looking drastically different than most of the screenshots here, minus the ones that aren’t tonemapped correctly.
Yeah, that’s why I quoted it - that bit seemed to have been glossed over since he sandwiched it between some legitimate criticism.
Yeah, they may not be perfect, but they are a massive step in the right direction (regarding color) from every previous release since 2004. I’ll admit it actually goes a long way to healing old wounds, so to speak. Having the fan-made 4K series more than 2/3 done along with official versions that actually look decent again (even if they’re not my preferred versions of the OT), as well as some pretty great new content in recent years has moved my “love/hate” opinion of Lucasfilm a bit further towards the “love” column. If they’d just suck it up and officially release reasonably competent 4K versions of the OOT all would be forgiven at this point.

Both 4 and 5 have had some weird female support cast forcing with the waitress and kinda the widow who was written very blandly, and now this mechanic and the assassin. They’re trying to include women in SW so hard that it’s sad and takes away from what’s actually happening in the series.
Seriously? So what, they aren’t allowed to include women at all, or it’s just forced feminism? Give me a fucking break.
It wasn’t a great episode, but it had nothing to do with the female characters.
Nah, tons of movies use burned in subs like that with alternate audio tracks. There’s usually a set of forced subs for foreign dubs that put the other-language subs on the top of the screen so they can still be read, even though the English ones are still there.
Yeah, I was gonna say, none of those screencaps look like what I see when I watch either the 2004/2011 or 2019 masters.
Was very happy to see Tatooine/Mos Eisley treated to match the OOT and not the SE. No evidence of the expanded, busy spaceport we’ve seen since 1997 - that was 100% the sparse backwater of 1977.
Well I hate to say it but I think it’s supposed to seem like a ghost town in a way that contrasts what we saw before. I mean just look at the cantina.
Yes, but we didn’t see the huge, wide streets of the SE devoid of people - we saw the same cramped alleyways of the OOT instead. I didn’t mean “sparse backwater” to mean “devoid of people” so much as I meant it as a description of the town, and to me, the episode is in line with the OOT version, but with fewer inhabitants.
I agree that it was one of the weaker episodes, though. Ming Na was wasted.

Interesting…
Are the Amazon streams theatrical or extended?
I’ll be honest, I read nothing after I saw the logo, but if this is Legends of the Hidden Temple with a Star Wars skin applied to it, I’m in.
Though that would probably be more appropriate for Indiana Jones…
