Welcome back!

In my experience it’s just how these things get done. There’d be a sense of appeal to just emerge from underground with a cool thing, but collaborating opens up so many more possibilities. I think you should keep thinking out loud as much as needed.

Nice, thanks, guys for helping each other with the subs.

Also, Mala’s alternate audio track is now on the Google Drive as a separate download.

Sorry, what language were you working on, again?

Oh that’s more than okay, I just wasn’t sure. Sounds like it’s more than a single episode or story.

If I understand, and I probably don’t, the idea that the clones have chips in their heads will be removed?

That’s one example of things that make TCW feel incongruous to me, as the films characterize them as being genetically engineered to obey orders without question and be inhumanly docile. The Kaminoian prime minister in AOTC didn’t say, “We placed chips in their heads to make them more docile than the original host.”

Thank you. That is appreciated. 😃

All right, enough, please.

Right on. Hoping so, too!

That idea was brought up, but I don’t think I’d go that way. Fortunately, it’d be easy to edit that way by anyone who’d like to see it that way.
I think it’d be confusing. I don’t think lightsabers really mirror their wielder’s spiritual state that closely. I imagine it’s more about what went into them as they were being forged or made, rather than a continual thing. Also, if that took place, why not keep it instead of burying it?

^And I’m seeding… from behind a VPN.

Thanks, everyone! I’m not leaving or anything.

And the commentary should be in each version, as a separate audio track. Google Drive doesn’t let you select which track plays, so you’ll have to download it to do that.

Lol. And I feel obliged to correct you in that it’s a “tractor” beam.

As I finish working on an update to my ANH project, the only thing outstanding about my SW edits is the Rey Nobody version of TROS. That aside, being an alternate cut anyway, things have never felt this complete. Like it’s time to let it be.
It’s been a great experience the past 8 years or so putting these together. It’s been a hobby and communal thing. There’ll be some sadness, but I know it can’t go on forever.
I will stick around in any event, and I won’t say “never,” even if I set things down intending to do so for good with SW fan editing. I know there’s work to be done yet, but at the same time, it feels like I’d better plan to “retire” once it is.

If the right idea grabs me, I would be happy to tinker with other things, but the SW saga can soon be laid to rest comfortably. And that feels good to this looooongtime OT.com weirdo.

This is just a random thought and not a suggestion because I’m sure it’s impossible, but…

Ashoka should really have been Obi-Wan’s apprentice, right?

CLONE WARS WEDNESDAYS?

One other thing I’ve been thinking is that, once I’ve properly got going with this, I can probably output at least one edit a week (since I have a good amount of available time some won’t require much at all, so I can kind of queue them up) - what do you all think about doing ‘Clone Wars Wednesdays’ where I’ll release one every Wednesday? That way we can all watch and feedback, and it’s both a small weekly commitment where feedback can be given in a focused way, plus a simulated weekly release cycle so helps us to judge the pacing of the show as a whole? It’d help me pace myself too, and keep the momentum up.

Oohhhh, event viewing. I like this idea!
