I’d also be surprised if they were killers, I feel like any time Star Wars “heroes” in animation face off against a person (or rather non-droid, non-creature) they tend to use stunners rather than blaster fire.
I didn’t catch her name in the trailer.
I more meant… Clone Wars and Rebels both had incredibly negative reactions to the kids at the centre of the shows, Ahsoka and Ezra respectively, until a few years later.
What did y’all make of “the kid”?
I can’t believe we will see a release of the Ewok movies before the unaltered theatrical original trilogy. If they put the Holiday Special up, that’d be insane.
I don’t think they’ll ever put up the full Holiday Special. Too many rights issues on top of it being incredibly bad.
As far as the theatrical OT, rumour was that it was being remastered and prepped, but they stopped before releasing it. Instead they let George tweak the Special Editions one final time before launching Disney+.
Nice! So glad they’re finally bringing some Legends content to Disney+.
If people stream the hell out of it, there’s a chance more things will come, like Droids and Detours.
Sooo, this sequence took a while, but luckily its the last (and most difficult) link sequence. It takes the story from The Tragedy to The Rescue (The Believer has been cut).
I have changed the sequnces at the end of The Tragedy and start of The Rescue, and altered most of the dialogue between Mando and Cara on Nevarro.
This just leaves the opening sequence to sort, and tidying up of the landing on Trask. A version for test viewing will be available soon.
That looks good! I would maybe put the recruitment of Bo Katan prior to the message to Gideon, as it feels a little too ping-pong between the Empire and Mando.
Part of why that hologram from Mano works so well in the episode is because they stole the info, but without The Believer, and it just being Cara Dune and a Google search, it doesn’t really warrant the astonishment from Gideon that he’s been found/contacted. You might be able to delete that scene entirely. If you did, Dyn could recruit Cara before Gideon intimidates Grogu, after Boba commits to helping him.
I’ll have to work on those!
Here are the latest ones I’ve done:
Obi-Wan vs Maul set to “One Way or Another” by Blondie.

Luke vs the Rancor set to “Tainted Love” by Soft Cell.

Ok, don’t get mad at me for asking, but can we include the Republic Commando Theme in Boba Fett’s introduction?
😂
I’m against it, only because he’s so far removed from them. If anything, the Commandos are closer to Stormtroopers after ostensibly training them. Bobs Fett was seemingly removed from the other young clones by his father at an early age, and his fighting style is more based on his father and the other Bounty Hunters that brought him up.
It’s interesting that Fennec is like the only character they’ve shown off beforehand. Based on the way that they’ve marketed some of these other shows and seasons, I wonder if she doesn’t have that large a role in the show.
If you’re still on this very cool project, here’s another suggestion for ROTS:
Elton John’s “The King Must Die” for Padme’s rumination and the following lightsaber fight.Keep up the good work, I’ll keep an eye out

I was searching for a period-appropriate Bowie track for the original trilogy, but Lazarus fit too well over the Cave in Empire Strikes Back:
I got pretty excited for this idea. That is, until I realized you guys were talking about replacing Williams with pop songs rather than other pieces of non-Williams scores. lol.
Regardless, this seems like a pretty fun exercise!
Yeah, that just sounds a lot harder. Haha, What did you have in mind?
I think “Pumped Up Kicks” would work well for Order 66. Example:

Managed to finish the Trask to Corvus link. The damaged Razorcrest plot point has been removed from the movie.

I feel like the wipe feels a little quick, but otherwise it’s great.

I’m not sure which scene you mean, do you mean when she goes to Mustafar? Or when Anakin comes back from Order 66, which doesn’t lead into a duel? I’m game to give it a shot though.
Separately, I think it’s the longer scenes that are staying kicked off YouTube, which would explain the Battle of Both and the Kylo/Rey duels leading to fighting Palpatine.
Just added the escape from the Death Star, in A New Hope, after Ben’s sacrifice set to “Trouble” by Cat Stevens.
If you go red, only the lightning looks better.
Can we add his health bar too? That way we know how close we are to Rey killing the final boss.
I think cutting the Walker and emphasising the Bounty Hunter changing Din’s mind about staying would be a good way to keep that.
You could cut the planet entirely and treat Cara like someone he’s familiar with from prior to the film and recruiting in those finale scenes also.
I don’t think they ever will, not until the negative reception to the film turns around.
Yeah, I have some gorilla grain somewhere… that’ll help.
Gotcha, thanks though! Might be able to slow it down through interpolation to 24fps and get rid of some of the… video-gamey feel to it.
jonh was working on a couple fixes to the haircut scene last we heard, and then I’ll pass it to skenera to hopefully de-blue it if jonh hasn’t already.
And here’s the opening: https://vimeo.com/506231329
Oh I thought this was going to include the Battlefront 2 troop landing and such, is that version available somewhere?
Or even just the troop landing on its own in 60fps?
It’s absolutely not within the realm of possibility.
I mean, I wanna see it in live action, but I get why he’d rather do animation (less of a time commitment)
