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.

‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ ends with character info about what happened to them.

“Owen and Beru were incinerated while resisting arrest during a domestic violence dispute.”

“Bail, Breha, and the rest of Leia’s family died when their planet was destroyed by the Empire. Her cousin was off-world on Spring Break and was the sole survivor.”

“Luke attempted to revive the Jedi Order, though retired after his nephew became a school shooter.”

“Obi-Wan tried so many new spices and drank heavily, expanding his mind under the renewed tutelage of Qui-Gon to the point he nearly forgot ever hearing his own name.”

“Obi-Wan’s boss was stabbed three weeks later in the parking lot over a dispute regarding a three-piece fried chicken meal.”

That sounds nice. His costume is different at the end of the series, though, so that may be a frustrating continuity barrier.

Vladius, NFBisms, and RogueLeader need a government grant to hammer this out in full.

Well crap, you’re right about the milky eyes. Don’t know how that happened. I’ll get that fixed while I’m fixing another thing anyway.

And the dyad line was deliberate. The scene in the Rey Nobody edit already has a lot of sentence mixing for Kylo Ren, so I thought it better not to push things too far and only lean out on that branch as far as needed to get the important things taken care of.

They all have Spanish subtitles, among others. Should be included as part of the file itself. 😃

I was made aware of a few big (but simple) errors in some of the subtitles, including one that stays onscreen for an hour.

So I’ll fix and replace these, and update you all here once this is all done 100%.

I adore that as an opening sequence, NFB. It’s disturbing, even.

Brilliant! Well done, Hal. I bet that’s a load off?

Not to be dramatic about it, and most of what’s been frustrating is the regular life stuff that has made it so hard to get it done!

The alternate ‘Rey Nobody’ version is basically complete now, I’m pleased to report. Currently the large 1080p and DVD5 versions are available via the same link I send to people who request access, with the other two versions to follow once they are encoded. After that’s done, I will make torrents for them as well.

This alternate version has no commentary or alternate language tracks, although all the foreign language subtitle tracks are present. (Manually shifting the subtitles took more work than anything else!)

Thank you to Spence and everyone instrumental in completing this version. With this in place, Ascendant is… complete now. I did make a few audio tweaks to saber ignition sounds as I described a while back that I would like to see reflected in the regular version as well, but which don’t make sense to reissue unless I were fairly confident there’d be no V3. (I don’t see one on the horizon, which I’m okay with, so maybe I just will go ahead.)

Make it hundreds of troopers in varying levels of being in one piece.

When Owen and Beru are found burned to death in ANH, add a few dozen charred stormtrooper remains, so you know they had to have put up a real fight.

He calls it his ship also in ESB. “Take the princess and the Wookiee to my ship.”

I enjoyed this show overall, and I appreciated what it was going for. I chuckle a little now at my own concerns going in about continuity, about what an adventure with Ben and Leia would mean, Ben’s “long time” that never really amounts to much in a row, etc.

But it seems to have taken a penny on these and left a few pennies in return. In the OT, Ben seems viscerally aware of the sort of effects the Empire has on the galaxy at large, and with Vader as more machine than man. These give the impression of something other than watching the news. Originally this was because the Empire seemed to predate Luke himself, and Vader likely having a more involved history with Kenobi, before later continuity came about.

Now, Obi-Wan can speak to these things from his own personal experience. And it explains his apparent opportunistic, invitational approach to training Luke.

Vader was treated interestingly, and I look forward to the next occasion that I watch through the saga (not something I want to do any old time), as I imagine it’ll very much help bridge that character from prequels to originals.

I do wonder what a film version would have been like, and any fan edit would still end up feeling like something made for TV. Perhaps a two-part TV movie would be a good form-factor, at about 4 hours total.

Once something as grand and magical as a show about Ben Kenobi passes out of the realm of platonic ideas and potentiality and into concrete, specific shape, it’ll inevitably become lesser. That said, I enjoyed having this to watch and don’t feel like we’re any worse off for having had it. To me, from Rogue One onward, non-saga (“Episodes”) stuff has feel like extra credit.

It’d be sad to lose the Luke and Reva tension, as I’m usually up for a halfway decent redemption story. But it might be necessary in order to crunch this down to a sensible feature length.

Thank you!

I need translations of the following lines into German, Italian, Dutch, Portugeuse, French, and Spanish for the ‘Rey Nobody’ cut, if anyone can render these.

1. He saw what you would become.
2. You won’t just have power. You’ll have his power.
3. You will kill Palpatine…
4. And take the throne.
5. I feel the pull to the light…
6. And you, the darkness.
7. Together, nothing will stand in our way.

Was nice to stumble onto this today:

There’s another video there about the sequel trilogy edits.

I appreciate the effort, and it’s probably the best that can be done, but I don’t feel like it works at all to hold on the shot of that statue for so long.
