<strong>The Mandalorian</strong> - a general discussion thread - * <em><strong>SPOILERS</strong></em> *
Time

chapter 6 was another good episode with a nice cameo at the end 😉.
Although I did find that twi’lek girl annoying.

annoying

I don’t think we’ll get anymore strong episodes like 1-3 as they set the show though I see alot of people calling the rest of the episodes fillers but that just doesn’t give them justice they are all good with very little that needs fixing.

So far so good.😀👍

Recently saw episode 5…

… also the acting from the woman was a little weird, and the gunslinger kid was annoying.

I couldn’t put my finger on it but I completely agree with that odd chose for actors.
Should of gone with something more inline with the concept art:

Star Wars: The Coaxium Heist (COMPLETED)
Time

All your edits seem on point but would you for v2 consider maybe some harder changes like ones found in CarstenJ.dk of Solo edit here:
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Solo-A-Star-Wars-Edit-Released/id/65231/page/1

eg:

  • After crawl and planet pan open with Han a Quira escaping on speeder and rework the crawls text to fit.
  • Less in your face lucky dice shots
  • Add deleted scene where he gets demoted to the infantry
  • No Han getting the blaster from Becket.
  • Cut most of Han speaking wookie.
  • When formerly introduced to Chewie, cut out Han saying “Chewbacca” as it sounded patronizing
  • Fix the over the top score which makes your ears bleed about half way through the train heist or cut heist down.
  • Val does not sacrifice herself stupidly she just gets blown up by the droids.
  • Cutdown the kiss between Han & Quira in the falcon by cutting to Becket as to similar to Empires Han & Leia kiss in falcon.
  • Cut L3 fist pumping the air and shouting “Rebellion!” at the spice mines

I’ve noticed a similar number of us here wish you’d included the Caretakers in some way so you could include the 3rd lesson scene as wanted the alternate release of Ep. 3.

I know you’re unlikely to do this officially with unfinished shots, but I was wondering if I could nudge you to release an “alternate workprint” with that single change implemented for pre-Ep 9 viewing? I won’t have my editing computer for a few months or I’d do it myself 😑

Thanks for the PM.

Can’t blame you for trying, If you do end up editing it in yourself let us know 😉
Also I think you’ll fully enjoy what Hal has created here once you’ve seen it for yourself.

The Mandalorian : a Radical Redux Fan Edit <strong>Ideas</strong> thread

Thanks RogueLeader glad to see others liking the noir style 😄. Personally it does seem too soon to think of heavy editing at this point unless they really mess things up which I doubt. I think possibly baby Yoda may well play throughout the whole series storyline as it opens up so many paths and visually I cant help but compare it to Lone Wolf and Cub:

The IG-11 battle is a good example of the intense red halo blaster lense flare effect.

How might it look to only desaturate all but the red colors about halfway?

All examples were taken from the same filter setting values, unfortunately if the blaster saturation goes any lower then we start to lose the more subtle red effects in other scenes like in the examples below.

Unfortunately I’m only working on a humble HTPC and not able to edit videos on it, guess we need someone with strong editing skills to balance the values per scene, Hal! 😉

Yeah but coming up with potential explanations for things aren’t as fun as complaining about literally everything possible.

🤣😂🤣 Feel you on that one, I’m really enjoying this series and that baby Yoda idea opens so many possibilities not touched on before. 👍

I was playing with VLCs filters to see what the mandelorian would look like with film grain to add that dusty film vibe of old and then took it a step further by making it black and white and letting only the red colour shine through, the results are an impressive Sin City style and make repeat viewings a very interesting watch.

With the caretakers being removed, it might be good to trim Snoke’s line about destroying the entire island.

I’ve always thought it was weird that he would specifically single out the island for destruction. We’ve kind of come to expect nothing less than total planetary destruction from the big bad forces in Star Wars, so I kind of just assumed that he’d take care of the whole planet.

Agree, I always thought that line sounded flat as we are used to them decimating complete planets by now. I assumed it was the Jedi history that Snoke wanted gone as opposed to specifically the caretakers it does sounds better without that line but guess its a majority vote.

I do wonder what a cut of TFA and TLJ would be like that strips all (subjectively) ~’unearnest’ humor. Part of what made the original SW great was it’s sincerity.

👍 Definitely agree on that, at this point less in this case isn’t more.

Regarding Luke throwing the sabre isn’t there an edit where he just drops the sabre in front of him then walks off there by cutting out the tongue in cheek humour from that scene might make for an interesting watch to get that in the Legends edit.

Possible small fixes are:

@ 23:35 - Luke Fishing Scene
Issue: Rey shouts careful as the jedi master jumps over to the cliff on the pole.
Fix: Possibly cutting to Lukes face as he looks over and removing her shout out as if to say follow me now.

@ 1:13:10 - Rey vs Luke
Issue: As Rey fells Luke and holds his sabre over him the jedi master looks up helplessly.
Fix: By cutting to Rey unigniting the sabre strait after Luke holds himself with the force from the fall we can remove the initial shocked expression which helps play out the my mind is not in the fight viewpoint.

I completely and utterly fail to understand why either of these things are “issues” …

Sorry but if you don’t get it then you utterly fail 😉

I jest but seriously theres no real fail here its all subjective fixes at this point as Hal has resolved the major issues with his edit and whats left is subtle changes and left to personal opinion and thats just mine. ✌

Hey, thanks for taking the time to write up some ideas.

I’m not sure Luke beckoning Rey to pursue him during the fishing scene makes a lot of sense, as it’s bookended by variations of “leave me alone.”

No problems Hal, that missing scene does indeed have a good message but I get why it might not be the best of fits for your edit, a completely secluded and alone Luke is a strong alternative.

What I ment to convey with the fishing scene with Rey is she is to worried about the Jedi masters safety but hes clearly a big boy who can look after himself and doesnt really need her shout out careful but at this stage in your edit its all just very small subtle stuff that works with or without now.

Watched your v3 workprint from start to finish last night and am happy to see the changes are subtle but all are worth the attention with the Canto Bight balcony scene adding more depth to the good vs bad view and just that bit more screen time to better explain broom boys charactor for whom I dont mind. Also the new phasmas corpse scene isnt too in your face and I really like how it works reminds me of how Bobba Fett met his rather humble demise 😁. Would be nice to not have Rey interpret Chewie for Luke also.

At this stage for me The Last Jedi Legendary edit is pretty much the best it can be there are a few slight frame cuts and one deleted scene that would be nice to be added but understand why its not put in this edit.

Possible small fixes are:

@ 23:35 - Luke Fishing Scene
Issue: Rey shouts careful as the jedi master jumps over to the cliff on the pole.
Fix: Possibly cutting to Lukes face as he looks over and removing her shout out as if to say follow me now.

@ 1:13:10 - Rey vs Luke
Issue: As Rey fells Luke and holds his sabre over him the jedi master looks up helplessly.
Fix: By cutting to Rey unigniting the sabre strait after Luke holds himself with the force from the fall we can remove the initial shocked expression which helps play out the my mind is not in the fight viewpoint.

@ 1:37:52 - Praetorian Guards Missing Blade
Issue - The infirmus praetorian guard missing blade scene which you see him holding in his left hand one moment then badly CGIed out the next.
Fix: Cut from Kylos zoom in to the moment after the sabre strikes @ 1:37:53 where his left bladed hand is not visible we can then assume he lost the missing blade during the stuggle with Rey.

And now the missing scene which I know wont go in because it goes against your efforts in this edit but hey can’t blame a StarWars fan for trying 😉, maybe if you could have a version of your edit with just only a very trimmed down scene with the caretakers introduction from Luke just so we can get Lukes deleted third lession scene in some form into The Last Jedi Legendary. Mate everytime I watch this in my head I see that missing scene which works so well to explain what Luke is trying to convey to Rey and us the audiense that hey the Jedi of old would rather meditate over “their” force then get involved in other peoples problems.

Thanks again Hal for your efforts 👍
