Looks great. Why cut Maul talking to Jesse about the grand plan? That was always one of the highlights of the episode for me.

We get most of that exposition in Maul’s interactions with Ahsoka and I didn’t want to detract from those scenes. The whole arc hinges on Maul luring the Jedi (ultimately the wrong Jedi) to Mandalore so the focus should be on that dynamic.

Maul revealing the nature of the grand plan to a clone didn’t feel right for his character. Clones are beneath him.

Sounds great either way. I’ve always been a big fan of yours. What’s next in this series for you? What’re your major plans for the remaining content? Any thoughts on an alternative opening movie? As you have, I’ve thought this content to death, so if there’s any valuable perspectives I can offer I’d be happy to.

That’s a lovely colour!

Now if only force speed were ever used again onscreen, I could finally sleep at night.

That’s a cool idea!

Fire me a PM please!

Really interesting to see those ideas! I must have been wondering what Ady’s prequel plans were for, what, over a decade now? Perhaps longer! I particularly like the changes to RotS which play up Palpatine’s role in the conlflict between Anakin and the Jedi/Obi-Wan.

That’s a really fair point, Bingo, I apologise to you and TDS. I was responding more to TDS specifically as they’ve raised a few ideas across the forum in various threads, but you’re entirely justified in correcting me here because, as you say, this is absolutely the place for uninhibited idea generation. My bad, carry on!

I think what you may be unaware of TDS is that everyone starts out with ideas, but it’s important to measure those against practicality. As a rule, it’s found that most of the work gets done here by people deciding ‘I’m going to do that myself’ rather than ‘Can someone else make this idea work?’ There are lots of free programs, and free teaching, that people use to realise their ideas, and they are accessible to people without any experience - the vast majority of us here are not professionals and had no or minimal experience in any of the fan editing disciplines before embarking on our projects. Similarly, at this point, the vast majority of ideas that can be had about especially the earlier movies have been had already, and more radical ones (like replace a character) are still outwith practicality. I’d recommend reading through the ideas threads, and the threads for the most successful projects, to see what the process looks like, and help refine your vision, and then consider picking up one of the tools required to realise it.

I don’t have an opinion.

I use EaseToDo backup, which I think is free. I’ve never had to use it for recovery, but it seems to do the job.

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?
