Hi Acbagel!

Can I please have a link to your works? 😃

Hi g00b!

Can I please have a link to your works? 😃

Ok, so I’ve watched the first 5 (v2) episodes, and I’m really impressed how smooth is goes (well, most of the time). Amazing work! So, here’s my feedback:

s01e03 - The Duchess of Mandalore:

-> about the 15:00 mark - the situation with Kenobi attacking from above to save Satine is in my opinion too chaotic, It was a bit unclear for me what happened, and you can definitely see some cuts were done. It goes like this:

1. Satine is running in a tunnel
2. Kenobi gets knocked out by two Mandalorians
3. Satine is running out of the tunnel, but I’m not sure she reached the room with Obi-Wan
4. Kenobi attacks the Mandalorians from above
5. Both Mandalorians get knocked out.
   This whole sequence last for only 9 seconds, which makes every cut done in less then 2 seconds, which does not work so well. I understand that You wanted to remove the BOND-like sequence, but maybe it’s possible to use some more scenes, or make the existing ones a bit longer to make this sequence more natural and fluent.

-> about the 28:20 mark - the situation with Satine being held hostage. Due to some cuts, it also seems a bit “unfluent” than the scene described above. So:

1. Obi-Wan kills the spider droid (and we see that the traitor and Satine are standing to his left)
2. The traitor grabs Satine (it’s ok until this moment)
3. Obi-Wan is staring at something (it’s weird because I had no idea at what he was looking because, we’ve seen the traitor and Satine on the left side of Kenobi, and now he’s staring to the right in this scene)
4. The traitor is leaving with Satine (The exit is on the other side of the room, when does the traitor had the time to reach this exit?)
5. Obi-Wan is running (Where is he running to? He did not left the room, last we’ve seen him he was staring at something, and now he’s running in a corridor?)
   This whole sequence, after slaying the droid, last for only 7 seconds, so again we have 4 cuts in 7 seconds, it does not look good. Maybe it’s also possible to use some more scenes or make the existing ones a bit longer to make this sequence more natural and fluent? Or maybe even bring back the small spiders? I’m not convinced that the small spiders are that bad. 😉

s01e05 - The 501st Legion:

-> I was a bit confused about Obi-Wans whereabouts, because we see him patrolling the depths of the sea, and after he sees the droids he reports their presence and then… nothing, we see him without context during the battle. It was so weird because I could not believe that the droids didn’t notice him, because he has definitely not in some kind of stealth mod or something, the droids are stupid but not SO stupid 😄 Maybe it’s possible to show his attempt to flee the sea at at least some degree, to justify his presence later?

Sooo, these are my major issues with those episodes, I could maybe find something else, but it would be nitpicking. The rest of the v2 episodes are done REALLY well, I especially like the into text and the whole credits idea, that’s really awesome. I’ve just completed binge-watching the entire clone wars series a few days ago (I’ve last seen them when they came out 😄), so I kind of notice right away which content is missing, but the cuts are done really well, so I assume that if I’ll come back to this episodes in a few years, I will not notice anything missing 😃

Looks awesome, I’ll try to watch the v2 episodes in the coming days and give feedback.

For now, I have one question, sorry if this was already addressed in the past, but why are there black stripes added to the left and the right side of the video? Is this an artistic decision? I don’t remember them being there in the original episodes.
