This would require a bit of VFX but I think making some of the Nakina 5 prisoners (even if they’re just background prisoners) be Pantorans/ Mirialans so having pink, yellow, blue coloured faces or make them Umbaran with the white eyes would at least help add a bit of alien diversity.

Once again Smudger, another fantastic smooth edit, I’m glad you removed most of the At-achrin crappy subplot and got right to the meat of the mystery, everything flowed really well.

the only thing I did miss was the KB subplot with her augments, it was a really nice subplot that gave more character moments that was missing.

Amazing! Love that you’re going ahead to make Malachor V be more true to legends and that your adding in Legends references of Mandalore’s history.

That’d be interesting to see. S2 definitely could benefit with some restructure of its plotline for some better flow.

The big thing I’d cut is a scene in the ending of S1- Jinx sitting on the ‘Jinx chair’ after she kills Silco. This felt like a resolution to her whole is she powder or is she Jinx character arc but S2 decides to ignore this. Cutting that one part of the scene just makes the transition to her character arc in S2 flow more naturally.

For S2 one thing that never got brought up again for Ekko’s story was the whole thing about the tree slowly dying or something because of the Hex, maybe a final shot during the ending montage of the tree looking healthy could provide some resolution for this. Also Ekko and firelights not doing much after Silco’s death to liberate Zaun felt weird so perhaps moving Ekko’s disappearance earlier can help with this.

I also think adding in some shots of the Arcane Noxus trailer for S2s ending would also be ideal to provide a stronger resolution for the black rose plotline and gives Mel a resolution.

Another great edit from you Smudger! A much better streamlined version of the The Acolyte that removes most of the problematic elements.
The new title crawl is miles better than the original, the AI Venestra voice sounded seamless and was a good solution to skim past the whole Ki Adi & Coruscant filler.
Overall lots of good choices of cuts and a much more watchable version of the Acolyte.

So far with all 5 episodes of your edit all I can say is fantastic work. The focus on character arcs & moments really shows.
I liked the inclusion of that master and apprentice opening the door at the end of E5 really bringing it all together.
I’ve got no complaints on my end.

Love that Andor type look to the logo and making Kessel look more consistent to it’s depiction in Solo… good stuff

I’d say the top one since it makes it feel less earthy

Amazing idea definitely keep.

That’s a fantastic idea on making the red saber- orange like Baylon’s. It makes for nice set-up to see that kind of saber in Ahsoka.

This edit sounds awesome, I’ve definitely wanted to see a rogue one edit rescored with the music from Andor. And those clips are perfection.

NFBisms feedback is spot on, those were the only nitpicks I had. Otherwise overall I loved the general restructure.

I do want to chime in 2 suggestions about Andor in general:

1. early in Mon’s story where her husband invited Sly Moore to a party I feel like a follow up scene like in E5 Mon and her husband in the taxi would be better moved there than after the family breakfast scene.

2. This is a personal opinion but I think E1-3s flashbacks should be moved as 2 full flashback scenes. Cassian’s perspective with his tribe till he sees his reflection in the ship all presented before B2 wakes Andor up in the begining
   And then Marva’s perspective flashback where she finds Cassian in the ship placed in the scene where she looks at Andor’s room.

I’ve watched all 4 of your HP edits Anjohan and I had to sing my praises on here. Fantastic work! The new visual effects I noticed in HP1 & 2 and colour grading are bloody brilliant. It’s been years since I’ve seen the movie so any changes to musical scores and cuts you made I didn’t even notice (and I mean that as a good thing- it was seamless).
Oh and great work on building a real mystery with HPGoF, it actually felt like a mystery trying to figure out who was responsible rather than it dangling obvious ticks that gave away the reveal.
Hyped to see the rest of your edits.

So I thought I’d share a few ideas I’ve thought in my head for editing Ahsoka and fixing some lingering questions:

• So for Huyang, a big question for me is why he’s with Ahsoka rather than Luke: So an idea I liked was that he’s sticking with Ahsoka because she’s the last from before the Empire and he feels a connection to the generation of padawans he’s taught, Ahsoka being the last one left. I’m not sure where a dialogue an AI created voice line could fit but it would be good explanation.
• Another thing with Huyang voice AI ideas is to try and see if it’s possible to move his conversation to Ezra about Sabine’s family fate on Mandalore to much earlier episodes to get the audience to understand why she’s willing to anything to get Ezra back.
• Another AI voice/ voice over idea could be used on Morrok: his dialogue could explain he’s magik created from the Great Mothers in Peridia to give him a more solid explanation rather than just not explaining him.
• I’d also fix the remnant troopers making them feel more human by adding voice lines for them & conversations, making them more competent shots too.
• For story beats I’d also make sure for Sabine force moment- I’d have Ezra do the full jump no help and Sabine (who doesn’t use the force in this edit) would have to make a choice to go save Ahsoka or go with Ezra.
• Oh and I’d also tweak Huyang’s line about Sabine being worse than a youngling in terms of force potential, maybe a line emphasising her untapped potential might make the finale land moments better.

I got round to watching your PM edit Spence, cheers for that, and you’ve done some absolutely amazing work! Lots of great seamless cuts, loved the little VFX work you did, the deleted scenes restored, and the removal of 3PO which worked surprisingly well. Solid pacing overall and great reworks especially the final battle and I’m happy you kept the gungan city stuff.
Super hyped for your AotC & RotS edit now!

I used the shot of Baylan seeing a silhouette of a purrgil through the clouds, while on Seatos, applied some binocular filter, and tinted the footage to give the impression of infrared sight.

Here is the clip:

Sadly the compression is killing the quality.

Genius that’s a really great idea, works well.

Someone in Smudger’s thread spawned the idea of removing episode 1 almost entirely and starting with the Corellia investigation instead.

Sadly, I had no time to spare at the time, but now I have thrown together a quick mock-up of that idea.

The general structure is this:
-slightly altered crawl, that explains the state of the galaxy and why Ahsoka and Hera are on Corellia
-opening on Corellia, intercut with the introduction of Sabine
-Hera reports to the NR
-new scene, featuring Sabine observing Purrgil traveling past Lothal (new call to action)
-Jailbreak, introduction of Baylen and Shin
-Sabine contacts Ahsoka
-opening of the map
-Ahsoka and Sabine meet

Apart from the structural change, I only boosted the colors (a lot).

If anyone is interested in giving feedback, just notify me. The edit is about 40 minutes long.

I like the ideas of moving the Corellia story first, makes more sense but how would you create Sabine observing the Pergils on Lothal?
