It’s on there. Line 85.
It’s on there. Line 85.
I like this idea. Most of the show definitely suits TV format, but the later stuff could definitely work as movies. If you have your thoughts about a Rebels movie ‘out loud’, g00b, i.e. here in your thread, I might be able to contribute some structural ideas a little. Smudger is undoubtedly the master of animated TV-to-movie edits and may also be willing to share some technical advice if you reach out.
So, weird announcement for you all!
Despite having a healthy number of downloads, and a good number of reviews, it turns out that everyone so far (me included) has missed a huge error with the fourth film! I’ve just had it pointed out to me that one scene was entirely duplicated!
Anyway, I’ve fixed it, and rendered the fix, and it’s uploading now. Look out for Movie #4 (Sacrifice) version 2.2 in the MEGA folder about an hour after I post this message.
I’ve been away for a while but just come back and had a good read of this. I still haven’t watched it, but it’s amazing how much you’ve done with this project. All the episodes, and extras. Iteration and collaboration with the community. New VFX and AI voice lines. Seriously impressive, it’s a pleasure to see how much this has grown. Huge congratulations!
Please fire me a PM and I’ll sort that for you.

I will not, though others on these forums have edited those! Really glad you enjoyed Clone Wars, thanks so much for your sentiments!
That sounds really good. I found previous ROP edits a little too aggressive. What’re your biggest cuts, other than those listed as your major distinctives? I’d appreciate a link please.
Received your PM; on its way!
Congratulations!!!
❤️
I’d maybe say "Wary of taking any action that could lead to war", because wariness gives them a little more credit than full fear. It’s really good though.
What’s the status of Starlight right now? Does this imply that there’s a new version on the horizon? Did you have a plan to release a Starlight version of TLJ too?
Can you render and save your pre-Alpha 3.5 hour cut? It might serve as a good basis for those of us who’d like a two movie version of season three… 😉
That part’s the good bit. But the core of the episode is a weird wager between Yoda and Dooku that trivialises both sides, the setting is janky, and the animation is the show’s worst. It gives us nothing of importance to the wider plot of the clone wars.
That said, that’s just my subjective analysis of the likely consensus feeling. You’re welcome to disagree, and naturally to incorporate this episode in your watch through!
Very much looking forward to this release. Thanks for all the hard work. I like there will be two edits to choose from as well. Will the standalone episode without the flashbacks have the final episode included? Have a nice weekend and may the force be with you!
Indeed. It will include all present day episodes and conclude the entire story in one film. The second will finish on the cliffhanger of Osha putting on the helmet and part 2 will include all the flashbacks in chronological order.
Thank you! May the force be with you too!
That structure is pretty cool, actually. Using the helmet as the bridging point for flashbacks is elegant.
What VFX shots are you adding/changing?
I’ve made an edit of the Clone Wars which covers the key moments from 2003 CW, 2008 CW, and Forces of Destiny. It also includes the key moments from Tales of the Jedi - essentially the full clone wars era timeline.
One of my recommended viewing paths there is “I ONLY want to watch content that sets me up for the Filoniverse shows quickest”. That one sounds like what you’re after in terms of explaining Ahsoka, Maul, Darksaber, etc.

PM me if you’d like to request that.
Whether or not it’s a bad idea, it’s not something I’d like to do for this project. I like the animated voice actors.
I’d like to see episodes 3 and 7 merged into chronological order as a full standalone thing - the Tragedy of Brendok.
Sure- send me a PM and I’ll share it there.
pm sent! waiting
I replied to you on the 2nd July 😃

We’ve entered the third generation of fanediting, folks!
The question is really “Is it relevant to the story of the Clone Wars?” The Bad Batch four-parter originally in TCW simply wasn’t relevant to TCW (other than that one scene, which I did use) - instead, it was relevant to the story of the Bad Batch show. The Ahsoka content from TOTJ was relevant to TCW, since it enhanced Ahsoka’s story set during the same timeframe. But, whilst Barriss is arguably one of the more major TCW characters, her return in TOTE doesn’t do anything to enhance the story of TCW. It certainly warrants a watch - it leads into both the Kenobi show and Rebels - but I think it’s more of a standalone thing.
Sounds good - did you settle on how you’re handling the multiple endings?
I think it works absolutely fine. It doesn’t align with our recent fantasies around where we’d take the Rise of Skywalker plot, but it aligns with what we know from canon.
I love the animated cast, so I wouldn’t see much value in trying to replace them.
