Star Wars: The Legend of the Solo Twins - Released!
Time

Hey I watched your edits, and I just wanted to let you know they are absolutely amazing! Definitely the best version of the sequel trilogy I’ve ever seen, thank you so much! First of all, the intro to your first film is amazing, I love Mara Jade and Thrawn being included, all the opening text describes the state of the galaxy so well, it’s a great introduction for the movie and flows so much better from Return of the Jedi this way! The editing is flawless and the story alterations work perfectly and make everything feel so much better, Luke’s character is much better now, Jaina/Rey actually being a Solo and Ben’s sister is beautiful and adds so much more meaning to her interactions with Han, Leia, Luke, and Ben, and all the narrative choices in The Force Awakens (like everyone asking “who’s the girl”, Han acting like he knows Rey/Jaina, things like that) actually have a payoff now and make sense! Snoke replacing Palpatine on Exegol looks so amazing and you intergrated that beautifully with your perfect editing! Also all the dialogue added, Rey being called Jaina, Jaina calling Leia “mother”, it all sounds so natural and there was never a moment where I felt like the dialogue didn’t fit perfectly! Thank you so much for all your hard work and for making the very best version of the sequel trilogy, you are an incredibly talented editor and your films are very inspiring with masterful editing! 11/10 stars from me! ⭐️

I love your use of the deleted scenes and also the Kylo Ren vs. Darth Vader fan films, all of those scenes are integrated perfectly too and fit so well with the story! Also I love seeing Luke using his green lightsaber with the correct hilt too, and I love the mirror cave scene actually having a meaning and purpose, it’s beautiful, it’s where Rey truly discovers she’s Han and Leia’s daughter and serves as a major revelation for the story!

Also I love the Force Ghosts helping Rey destroy Snoke at the end, and Ben’s Force Ghost being with Luke and Leia in the final scene!

I’m very interested in this edit! And honestly, I think the original blue color grading you did is beautiful and makes the film look so much better. I know you decided to go more with the red grading, but I just wanted to say that I really like the blue! 💙

I know, right? I loved it too! It was my baby. Still, I think most people have become accustomed to the film being red (Even though most of the film isn’t actually red. I think Snoke’s throne and Crait gave people a bias), so as much as I wanted to go in that direction, popular demand dictated otherwise in this case. I understand, though. The blue look is very unique, and it’s my favorite film look from the ones I’ve created.

Maybe you could do two versions of the edit? ☺️ I know that would be extra work, so only do it if you want to…but it’s your fanedit and if the blue is your favorite, I think you should definitely use it! 💙 It’s just so pretty.

I love your attitude! I’m not sure how much cloud storage I have right now, but if I have enough, I might be able to send you a link to the blue look when I’ve released it.

Oh my, really? ☺️ Awww, thank you so much! That would be amazing 💙 I think your edit will be awesome, your changelist sounds excellent!

Mando EP2: Search for the Jedi [V2 RELEASED]

Just curious… since Fennec and Peli weren’t included in Vergence in the Force, how do you introduce them in this? And since you’ve cut the whole prisoner thing with Mayfield, so do we just not get the whole Mando taking off his helmet thing?

Really looking forward to this!

Pelli and Fennec are introduced as per the series. I will be going back and making a second version of Episode 1 that replaces Sorgen with Tatooine. I initially made a version that cut references to past meetings, but with Fennec being in Book of Boba, it’s a no brainier to go back and put the Tatooine scenes into episode 1.

I’m glad you’re going back and making a “Tatooine version” of the first film! Your edit was great, but I’ve just never liked Sorgan or the Sanctuary episode. The only important thing that happens in that episode is the first meeting with Cara Dune, but you can keep that and cut the rest of the episode by simply having Mando leave after he says “well, looks like this planet’s taken”.

I liked The Gunslinger episode a lot better than Sanctuary, so I think it’s a great idea to make a version with it instead.

Anyway, I’m very excited for Search for the Jedi and version 2 of A Vergence in the Force!

It was a really close call between Sanctuary and Gunslinger. Sanctuary won because of the character development. However, after season 2 the balance has shifted in favour of gunslinger.

I understand, choosing it for character development makes sense. I just personally don’t like Sanctuary’s boring “save the village” plot or its forced romance (because I don’t think The Mandalorian is a show that needs to include romance in it).

But anyway, I’m glad the version 2 will include The Gunslinger instead. It’s a fun western-style episode, it introduces some important characters for future episodes (Peli, Fennec, and the Boba tease), and I also like Toro Calican. I think they should have kept him around longer as an apprentice/crewmate who could learn from Mando, but I understand that Mando probably wouldn’t have time for that anyway since he’s mostly focused on Grogu.

THE CLONE WARS SAGA (No Longer Available)
Time

Hello,
I just wanted to let everyone know that these fanedits are no longer available. There are a few reasons for this, but one is because I feel like sharing files with others online puts the security of my storage account at risk. I apologize to everyone who has asked for links, but the edits are not available anymore.

I have updated the main post and changed the thread name to reflect this change.

Star Wars - Ashes of the Empire (a WIP)
Time

Your ideas sound good, I’m interested. : )
Anyway, I did a rewrite of the crawl to condense and reorganize it a bit.

STAR WARS

Epilogue

ASHES OF THE EMPIRE

A terrorist organization known as the FIRST ORDER has unleashed a massive battleship equipped with the power to destroy entire star systems. Now serving the First Order, the fallen Jedi Kylo Ren has betrayed and murdered his father, Han Solo.

Desperate to stop these growing threats, General Leia Organa has sent her pupil Rey to seek out her missing brother Luke Skywalker. Feeling responsible for his nephew’s fall to the Dark Side and the destruction of his new JEDI ORDER, Luke has went into exile.

The mysterious leader of the First Order, Snoke, has ordered Kylo Ren to hunt down Skywalker. However, Luke’s whereabouts are classified and known only to a handful of resistance leaders. In this age of turmoil, the First Order reigns and no one is safe….
