I read your comment about keeping the fortress in and how you feel it felt like something big was missing when left out but surely completely removing it will also remove the many issues that episode had? 🤔
Getting your edit at the mo so will comment here more once watched. 😁👍
Super cool poster ArtisDead created for this:
Did ArtisDead remove the poster as the links dead for me?
Thanks again Darth Sadifous for your feedback I’ll see what I can do with what you’ve stated in your comments above and work it into v2 of the series which I’m now colour grading to remove the original dull tint so the day scenes come across warmer and the night scenes a little darker for all episodes (see comparison pics below).
V2 Colour Grading:
… You can switch the scenes of Vect Nokru with Leia in Daiyu by the scene of Reva interrogating her in Nur. This way, we can assume that Leia and Reva were in a clandestine imperial base in Daiyu.
Thats exactly what I was thinking to do with my fanfix of Kenobi, no need for episode 4s imperial base antics in the story ark.
Before the dark times…
- Reeva attempting to kill Vader will be the thing to interrupt him from grabbing the second ship, so there are no inconsistencies to his actions to leave Vader looking silly or with a drained stamina bar.
That is a great idea! the perfect fix. kinda stunned that I didnt think of that lol. Im really afraid that the end will be sequel bait, and im even more afraid that Reva will be getting her own show…
This is what I’m worried about. She doesn’t need her own show and Kenobi doesn’t need a season two. Not sure why people are so insistent on this happening, just let it be its own thing and be done.
I’ve worked on the assasin fight scene some more removing a few frames from previous scenes in the fight, let me know what you think. 😎👍
I watched the first three episode and enjoyed all of them mostly. I do think the cuts could be worked on slightly during the scene with Boba and the rodian prisoner at the camp before his attempted escape and the scene between Boba and the hired thugs in town. These were the only cuts that were noticable to me in the first episode. I definetly think this makes Boba look tougher and more calculating though. Good work overall; thanks for sharing!
The second episode was probably the strongest Fett centric episode of the series so minimal changes to this one were needed. It was a tight edit and enjoyable. The third episode was always going to be the biggest challenge as any way you slice it, those “mods” are fairly cringe and Boba looked weak mostly in the original episode. Some of the quicks cuts are slighly noticeable mainly due to audio issues. I think the “chase” scene could still be cut some more, but definetly an improvment overall. I will give you further feedback when I finish the rest!
Thanks Darth Sadifous I appreciate the feedback I’ll work on smoothing out some of the cuts you mentioned and post here when done. I agree the third episode is is a tricky one I felt that after cutting the chase seen and speeding it up it was maybe too short so surprised you think its still too long if most people feel its still to long I’ll give it a trim 😎. Thanks again for your thoughts hope to get the most out of this TV show edit before moving onto the ObiWan show fanfix 😉.

Well done jrs81, watch Episode 1 - Phantom Menace: Invasion so far and have to say the prequals lend themselves well to the episodic TV show format alot better then its original movie viewing. Might be worth doing what Anjohan did with his edit of TPM here by dubbing and subbing Gunray and kin with an alien voice then can change up the poor dialogue in the film via subs.

Way, WAY to soon to start considering fanediting this show, we’re only two episodes in!
The only two things I see need editing so far is Obi-Wan asking how old Leia is and the lead bounty hunters tie dye shirt 😋.
I’m liking the show so far 👍

About This Fanfix:
The Book Of Boba Fett Rewritten is a fanfix with the intent on giving Boba back that edge to his character he once had in the original trilogy by making him less apologetic and sympathetic to others around him, making his followers question his judgement less & removing unneeded dialogue from him where possible as well as fix any other issues within each episode to better convey the story being told.
If you didn’t like The Book Of Boba Fett series storyline this fanfix series edit won’t change that as my goal is to keep the same content for the most part but fix the glaring issues the show had for example cut back on Fett coochie cooing the rancor, not having Fennic make the decisions for Boba or second guessing the decisions he makes to name a few. I also attempt to address a few other issues for example like speeding up the speed bike gang, removing the Jabba kitchen droid chase scene and showing less of Boba getting his ass kicked in he’s series first fight scene.
Chapter Change list:
Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land
cut the first shot only of the stormtrooper in the sarlac pit as the bright white clean armour along with the bright lime slime cheapens the scene.
removed a few frames when the tusken raider squeezes the bug juice into Bobas mouth as again the thick bright lime slime comes across as cheap.
cut Boba running his hands down the watchdogs face after knocking it out.
cut Boba explaining to the rodian he wants to also free him too
trimmed Boba politely asking to move twi’lek majordomo along during the palace throne room scene after not paying his tribute.
trimmed Bobas dialogue in the cantina in Mos Espa so he appears more direct and less friendly.
rearranged the assassin fight scene to show a more capable fighter in Boba by having him fire on assassins just before they put their shields up and editing the fight to show Boba taking less hits, also the gamorian guards cut into the fight quicker.
trimmed Bobas dialogue with the tusken kid while digging in the desert as its obvious what is conveyed through hand gestures alone
cut Boba telling the rodian he could help him escape the tuskens if he keeps quiet, he now just states “I could strangle you with this ankle chain and feed you to the watchdog”
Chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine
cut Boba explaining his holding the gaffi stick the same after being hit during training.
trimmed the train heist scene to show Boba throwing the droid driver off the train instead of threatening the droid with his gaffi stick then watching the droid open a window and hop out.
removed the lizard going up Bobas nose during the tusken scene now shows Boba coughing after the tusken throws powder into his face sending him into a dream state only showing the lizard leaving after he finishes his trial so the audience is just as surprised as Boba when he learns the lizard is not part of the dream.
Chapter 3: The Streets of Mos Espa
- Updated Chapter 3 to v1.1 with the following changes -
- trimmed the speed bike gangs initial slow start up scene before chase
- improved the yellow speed bike cut to during chase before crashing
cut Bobas dialogue with the palace droid being concerned over hearing the name Jabba
cut Boba asking for Fennecs advise in the throne room
slightly trimmed the speed bike girl moaning to Boba about not working
slightly trimmed Boba getting off his bantha before seeing Pykes for pacing
cut Boba crying during the tusken funeral
trimmed the Krrsantan fight to show Bobas limp feet while being crushed by Krrsantan to portray Bobas in alot more peril and cut to the speed bike girls entrance quicker.
trimmed and rearranged what was originally Boba casually walking down the stairs while putting his robe on during Krrsantan fight.
cut Boba explaining how he feels about his situation after the fight with Krrsantan to Fennec during the feast scene.
cut Fennec questioning Bobas decision on freeing Krrsantan
trimmed a lot of Boba doting over the rancor
cut Boba being surprised and asking “did he just lock the door” when going to see the mayor, also cut Fennec saying “let me” when trying to open the door Boba now instinctively leaves it to Fennec to open.
heavily trimmed and sped up the speed bike chase scene
trimmed and sped up the cyborg eyed biker guy driving whilst also removing the exposed set scenery corner backdrop mistakenly found in the scene see here 😬
cut the bad joke Boba made to cyborg eyed biker guy about “keeping an eye on them”
Chapter 4: The Gathering Storm
trimmed Boba talking to his bantha
removed Boba & Fennec breaking into the palace right under the guards noses by re arranging the scene to not show how close the pipe they entered is to the main gate.
cut the droid chasing antics in the kitchen
cut Fennec stating they need to get to the hanger
slightly trimmed fennec shooting the main gates chain when escaping by a few frames.
rearranged the sarlac pit scene removing the special edition version beak to the sarlac and removed fennec yelling at Boba to “shoot it!”
cut Fennec telling Boba “it’s not safe in there” as hes leaving sarlac pit.
shortened the cantina twi’lek Garsa Fwis conversation to Krrsantan.
Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor
cut Bobas reaction to Mando getting Freetown people to work for free
cut Boba explaining to Fennec his decision to stop spice coming to town for the Freetown peoples assistance.
rearranged scene to show Boba making his decision to stay in mos espa instead of going to his palace to fight after hearing what the speed bike girl says and not going back on his decisions.
sped up speed bike gang as they drive around town while fennec explains the plan
cut Boba asking Fennec what to do now
cut the flashback to the tusken raider attack
rearranged the Cad Bane showdown to imply the reason Boba doesn’t retaliate is because he knows Banes dirty tricks and Fennec will be the first to be shot, similar to how it went down with the marshal of Freetown, also Boba speaks less.
its now Bobas decision to send Fennec to Mos Eisley to hunt down the Pyke leader.
sped up speed bikes entrance into the fight
cut Bobas line “welcome back santan” he just now says “I have to confess I thought you were gone"
cut cyborg eyed biker guys spinning shot, now when the Pykes start shooting at the bike gang members they start limping away beaten holding Krrsantan
rearranged the Pykes vs the towns people shoot-out to show a lot less Pykes being shot down, they are now seen as more of a threat
cut Bobas lines to Bane “these are my people”
It bothered me that Boba left Fennec to sort out the person involved with killing his tusken family at the end of the show, then she just leaves through the door bit anti-climatic. So I’ve addressed this glaring issue with an alternate ending 😉
PM me if your interested in seeing this fanfix
Any more ideas to improve this series are welcome. 😄
A few snippets of info. on this particular ‘backstory’ -
This part sounds great from that High Republic interview…
What are some of your cinematic influences for the show?
“Jon Favreau said that when you’re working in this world, you want to go back to what George was inspired by. There were Westerns and then of course, Akira Kurosawa samurai films, and the fact that he originally offered Obi-Wan Kenobi to Toshiro Mifune. So I actually went more toward martial arts films, and storylines that are a little bit more personal and less global and galactic. Those warriors were on missions that were deeply personal, with people feeling wronged and having to make it right.”
Although a bit concerned Disney may go all team female with agendas to tick off on the project and it ends up becoming something else from this quote from the director of shows Russian Doll, Single Drunk Female, and the movies Bachelorette and Sleeping With Other People…
What can you share about how The Acolyte originated?
“I was pitching with Kathy Kennedy and we were developing this with [Lucasfilm development execs] Michelle Rejwan, and Rayne Roberts, who was like my main gal on this project. She was the person that literally found me and shepherded this idea all the way up to the top. We were really getting into it, and what’s so exciting about those [influencing] stories is that you don’t always know exactly who the bad guys are and who the good guys are. You’re not quite sure whether you can trust the heroine in this case as a result of that. Honestly, my pitch to Kathy was the first time that everybody in the room was a woman. I’ve done many of those types of pitches and I was like, ‘This is trippy that my big [intellectual property] meeting is all ladies.’ That was pretty cool.”
I’m actually trying to edit the two deleted caretaker scenes into this edit, Muffy. An additional benefit is that Luke’s changed line is reverted back to v4. Just trying to make the audio pops go away currently.
EDIT: Also, I realize Snoke’s line about destroying the whole island is missing in this edit with the idea of the caretakers not existing, but honestly I think that scene works better without that particular line to begin with. It just feels kinda clunky.
I would’nt normally go with an alternate version of a fanditors work but I personally feel that 3rd lesson adds so much more to Lukes mindset plus still having Snoke not targeting the island specificity is a good thing 👍.
Also its nice to have a canon version of Hals quality edit with caretakers as who knows they may be referenced in future Starwars material.
If there was any way to reinstate Lukes 3rd lesson to Rey that would go a long way as it tells us more about Lukes views of the jedi of old, but refs the caretakers so its a no go 🤔

PMs sent, also drop a comment here of your opinions of the edit after watching.
Nice artwort there jedi_bendu, I’ve tried to stay away from the comic art for now until I’m up to speed with the books as the comic art can sometimes give too much away but looking forward to getting into them eventually.
I’ve been listening to the High Republic audiobooks before hitting up the comics but wanted a visual aid for the characters and ships of the era and so thought I’d share what I’ve created and collected here for others to use. 😁

😋 That stupid spin will be the only thing I’ll be fanediting out in final episode, less mods the better in this series it seems.
Wow, alot of salty comments about Star Wars in general in this thread 😬
End of the day its a good time to be a Star Wars fan if your able to embrace the new.
“We are what they grow beyond” - Yoda 😉
Very happy with the epic finale we got, apart from a few fan tweaks needed to mute Boba somewhat and make him more of a leader (as well as sort out that mod bike episode scene😬) I think we’ve got a good StarWars series overall and with the Obi-Wan Kenobi series coming in march its a good time to be a StarWars fan 😁👍.
