Sounds possible. I just haven’t totally mapped the contents of the show yet so I wasn’t sure if there was anything else there.

In ROTJ, as Luke hides from Vader during their duel, we now find a new motivation for him to lash out in anger toward Vader.

“Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for… Third Sister. So, you know Third Sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her too.”

Later, “Tell Third Sister… you were right.”

To anyone who removes Bail showing up in person on Tatooine, instead going right from their holo-call to Kenobi digging up the sabers, I have a question: How do you suppose he knew which planet to go to?

Is Reva in the film? I hope not.

Yes, but her skin color had been digitally altered to be white. That cool with you?

The real answer is easy to imagine and doesn’t require depicting onscreen: he bought it from a Jawa.

Hit me up, please.

Single movie format?

Two-part TV movie ala 1990’s “It”?

If the former, you’d have to cut a fit bit to include the Lars and Reva stuff at the end.

Very good, and well done, Spence! That was about as good of a single-film presentation or the series as it is as would be possible to put together. It felt solid, and felt right. The thoughts below are meant to vet it even so, of course.

• I wonder if the opening shot could begin after the pan downward has finished, and looped or stretched to be longer. In other words, to open on a locked shot from the ground which holds a few seconds.
• I believe we meet Lola when we meet Ned-B, and are to assume she’d been in Leia’s pocket the whole time. It was a shame not to keep the dialogue about the Force feeling like turning on the light, so I wonder about how introducing Lola earlier, perhaps when Ben tells her “no noise from that” on city-world, or when Needles breaks her first.
• The series appeared to dance around using the Imperial March, but I feel like making an exception for Vader is right. However, the use of the March for the Inquisitor fortress right after we meet Freck does not involve Vader so I’d suggest removing it from this scene.
• Was a shame to skip the tension of the troopers riding along with Ben and Leia and the ad libbed conversation about her mother. However, it’s removed cleanly.
• I believe Leia asks Reva how Ben died, but that we had not been shown Reva telling her this to begin with.
• Ben gives Leia Lola back at the end, but I don’t think we see that she’d given her to him beforehand.
• The iris transition into end credits is in the wrong direction.

It’s difficult to assess how it’ll work, but I can’t wait to see. That all sounds wonderful!

Only trouble there is I’d feel split between the two! Lol

We’ll see about this in time. Appreciate the thoughts on it.

Sounds like a good time.

I do wonder if you have any thoughts about one particular moment, being when Ben tells Leia she reminds him of someone in Ep2. I think removing drawing a line to Padme allows the audience to assume he means Anakin, which feels more germane to what happens next.

Yes, it also smooths continuity with my own fan edit of ROTS, of course. Just wondering.

Yeah, but it still gets that point across retroactively. I could put in the line, “Not even the younglings survived,” to introduce the term without security footage of Anakin personally slaughtering them taking over Obi-Wan and Padme’s motivations. We do see in LOE some very young bodies strewn about so there’s still the idea that Jedi of all ages were killed. The main thing I wanted to do for LOE is avoid having killing tiny kids be the first thing a semi-reluctant Vader goes to do. It still happens implicitly, but Anakin himself isn’t known to be directly involved because it overshadows his overall betrayal of the Jedi.

But yeah, not altogether called for, but I haven’t decided for certain. Also will depend on which Kenobi fan edit I end up adopting as my go-to out of the crop!

EDIT: I looked again at the relevant conversation in Ep5, and Kenobi does express his knowledge of Anakin killing the younglings.

Well, I could possibly update TFA if Nev’s Starlight V2 merits it. And I am not 100% sure yet that I won’t want to update my prequel edits to comport better with the Kenobi series and future things. (Who’d have guessed Anakin killing children that day would be a plot-critical thing in new live-action Star Wars?

Tantalizing work, keep it up!

Cool it, guys.

I got a translation already, but I appreciate the offer!

‘Rey Nobody’ is 100% live and available in the usual places. 😄

OP updated with changelist for this alternate version.

“This looks like fun.” -Anakin

Thank you for letting us know. I’m so pleased to hear this is coming along under their consultation.

Very much looking forward to the final product.
