Now available via MR Discord. Thanks for your interest in this project. đ
Iâm not even sure I can call the last chapter in this series a fanedit as episode 10, 11, 12 are near on perfection. WOW! What a finale â¤ď¸
I will say, thereâs barely anything to do to episodes 7-9. Update coming soonâŚ
I have to admit that I find the second season kinda boring. Love the look and the acting is well done but the story is a little meh. Season one is my favorite of all the Disney SW content. Iâm still looking forward to the third part but expectations have been lowered.
I feel the same way. Iâm not sure where I posted it before, but the hype around this season had me feeling like a kid at Christmas. 3 episodes in, that excitement vanished and now, 6 episodes deep, it feels more like a dead-end job where Iâm just counting down the minutes until itâs over.
Iâve got no doubt the final 3 episodes will deliver, but the first 6 have just been too much of a slow burn for me, especially after the momentum of my trilogy edits from season 1.
I donât know where these mixed reviews youâre seeing are. Andor has come back to near universal praise. This just confuses me.
Thereâs mixed reviews all over the fandom. âuniversal praiseâ? Are you just looking at Rotten Tomatoes or something? Seems to be a real Marmite season with not much middle ground. People are either really into it or theyâre just bored and tuning out.
I imagine people reading your OP are quite confused by your claim of âmixed reviewsâ or above âa real marmite seasonâ - given the near-universal praise the critics (and early reviewers for all 12 episodes) gave Season 2. The majority of fans online too it seems, since the shows has commenced airing.
A number of the âbored and tuning outâ people on reddit, youtube and twitter⌠seem to be people who didnât watch Andor Season 1 - (or found it boring / ânot Star Warsâ / no âlightsabers or Jediâ / or issues with bricks and screws in Star Wars - and switched off etc) - seem to be repeating the same issues for Season 2 (without having actually watched it)?
I only found a small number of mixed / negative reviews online in my search for reviews (here and here) - though far far fewer than the number of positive reviews. Perhaps you could send me a PM for where you found your mixed or negative reviews? TIA.
ÂGood luck with the edit. đ
Â
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Just to clarify, when I mentioned âmixed reviewsâ or called it a âmarmite season,â I was referring more to general fan reactions than critic reviews. I totally get that critics and early access reviewers have been overwhelmingly positive, but personally, I put more weight on everyday viewersâthe ones who donât have incentives tied to screeners or industry perks.
Across forums, YouTube comments, and social media (outside of the hype bubbles), Iâve seen a noticeable number of fans expressing burnout or just not engaging with Season 2 the way they did with Season 1. Some of them are long-time Star Wars fans, not just the usual ânot my Star Warsâ crowd. So, when I say âmixed,â Iâm reflecting that wider, more grounded reactionânot the critic consensus.
That said, itâs great that the season is resonating so well with you and many others. Always good when a show finds its audience.
EDIT: Thereâs mixed reviews here https://www.metacritic.com/tv/andor/user-reviews/?season=season-2
I donât know where these mixed reviews youâre seeing are. Andor has come back to near universal praise. This just confuses me.
Yeah, really the only place I have seen anything negative is in some of the fan-edit forums, here, fe.org and Reddit.
@moviesremastered in your initial post you say this will be the perfect quintology, I think you mean quadrilogy, since this will be four arcs into four movies.
Well spotted. Fixed đ

Was there ever a list of differences between Starlight (which I have seen and liked) and HAL9000âs fan edit?
Obviously, we have a diff list to the theatrical version butâŚ
Do you mean like these?
Nev Starlight Edit - https://www.moviesremastered.com/movieinfo.php?id=8772
Hal9000 Edit - https://www.moviesremastered.com/movieinfo.php?id=727
I absolutely adore Nevs work on this edit. Pure genius and talent.
I think A new Hope Reimagined cuts were Adywanâs edits with the S38 fanfilm added to them. We donât have much info about them though so if you find any let us know.
JEDIT: Just found this but I think itâs a separate edit https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/A-New-Hope-The-Reimagined-Cut-SC-38-Reimagined-Rogue-One-Hal-9000-Adywan-V1-1-1-available-V2-on-indefinite-hold/id/76121/page/1
I almost gave up on this project after watching Ep. 4 - 6 but after the 3rd watch I think there is a movie in there. I think the main issue for Season 2 is that itâs paced like a TV show, where as Season 1 made a perfect movie trilogy once you cut off the fat.
Chapter V coming in around 2h13m but will update soon.
Me too!
But that is all Fiona Shaw! No AI. Itâs part of her saying Fight from the overdub as aired, and part of her shouting âJug!â from her early 90s reading of The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot, (Part 3: The Fire Sermon) - which sounds close enough in tone and timbre that when slowed down, pitched up, processed, reverbed a little; and delayed, and blended together; and then THAT is blended with the radio static and crowd noise, and then THAT is diffused and moved into the fronts and rears (and delayed a little even more) - it sounds like sheâs shouting âfuck!â
Hopefully, convincingly. Maybe! In 5.1 surround! (but mostly in the center channel)
Nice work, dude.
Would âFeck the Empireâ work better in that case? đ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36wKlbgeTrk
Youâll find a lot of faneditors will be opposed to this idea and would prefer to keep control of their projects but MRDb has 700+ Star Wars fanedits listed on the database if it helps? https://www.moviesremastered.com/searchresults.php?searchtype=OriginalTitle&genre=&franchise=&certificate=U&award=fanedit&language=&fanedittype=&searchterm=star+wars
You may have seen that Andor has returned to mixed reviewsâbut that just gives me the perfect opportunity to continue my movie series based on the earlier episodes.
Season one worked beautifully as a film trilogy, and with season two structured around three episodes spaced a year apart, itâs shaping up to be ideal for a new quadrilogy-style film edition.
After viewing the first 6 episodes, I gotta say Iâm a little disappointed but it has a lot of potential. Here are my suggested changes so farâŚ
Episode 1 - 3
⢠Delay use seeing Cassian til much later
⢠Cut down on how indestructible the new Tie is
⢠Cut down on how bad Cassian flies the Tie
⢠Edit down as much of the wedding as possible
⢠Cut out as much exposition dumps as I can
⢠Remove the âflirtingâ intro with Cassian and the girl (seems pointless)
⢠Remove all of Yavin 4 scenes and the bickering gang Cassian bumps into
⢠Edit together the Krennic meeting into one scene to build anticipation
⢠Remove some of Syril and Dedra build up to mother scene
⢠Remove some homestead scenes for pacing
⢠Rearrange a lot of scenes to lessen the back and forth
⢠Remove Bix saying the R word
⢠Add Onion layers to why Mon allowed her daughter to get married
While chapter IV movie instalment is finished, Iâd like to see how the story unfolded before releasing anything to you guys.
Chapter IV coming in around 1h:51m:21s
Episode 4 - 6
⢠Cut out Bix temper changes. I know sheâs suffering from PTSD but I feel sheâs a little disjoined in a few scenes and it would be better to keep her just pretending to be happy instead of switching.
⢠Remove the lesbian subplot. It wasnât needed in my trilogy and it doesnât serve any purpose in this edit.
⢠Remove Mon hustling for votes.
⢠Remove any weirdly paced empire scenes.
⢠Trim down the underground community meeting.
⢠Reposition the Saw scenes for them to have more impact.
⢠Remove empire members getting carried away with drinking at the party scene.
Chapter V coming in around 2h:13m
Episode 7 - 9
⢠Add Wilhelm Scream
⢠Trim down people gathering in the square
⢠Cut joke between Cassian & Wilmon in U-wing
⢠Cut scene between Bix & Vel
⢠Cut scene on Cassian going upstairs and then back down
⢠Cut scene between Wilmon and girl
⢠Cut Wilmon âIâve gotta find herâ clique line
Chapter VI coming in around 2h:08m
Episode 10 - 12
⢠Near on perfect, just a few minor tweaks but what a finale!
Chapter VII coming in around 1h:58m
Any other suggestions welcome belowâŚ
Previous chapters if you havenât seen those changes yet
Andor: Chapter I - https://moviesremastered.com/movieinfo.php?id=8697
Andor: Chapter II - https://moviesremastered.com/movieinfo.php?id=8699
Andor: Chapter III - https://moviesremastered.com/movieinfo.php?id=10560
Originally, I also wanted this to be the case after I heard it was supposedly the original plan.
But âFIGHT the Empire!â is so much more a call to action than âF*** the Empire!â and I wouldnât want it any other way now.
I was of the same understanding when I released my Chapter III edit but having picked it up again recently, while editing Chapter IV Iâm thinking of adding the line in. Iâm so 50-50 on this one.

Absolutely loving the updates, Dude. Canât wait to binge this.
Title: The Penguin | 4 Part Film Series
Faneditor: Movies Remastered
1920x800p
h264 encoder
AC3 5.1 Surround Sound
Type: TV-to-Movie
SPOILER ALERT
SYNOPSIS: âThe Penguinâ is a gripping crime drama that chronicles Oswald âOzâ Cobbâs ruthless ascent within Gotham Cityâs criminal underworld following the events of âThe Batmanâ (2022). Envisioning the series as a four-part film saga, each installment delves into pivotal phases of Ozâs transformation into the formidable Penguin.
Prologue: âThe Falconâs Shadowâ
Long before the chaos that would shake Gotham to its core, Sofia Falcone was raised in the shadow of power. As Carmine Falconeâs only daughter, she was taught that strength, not mercy, ruled the city. When her father sent her away to protect the empire from his enemies, Sofia waited, learning patience. She was the rightful heir to Gothamâs underworld, but she knew that men like her father always underestimated women.
Then came the night her father was gunned down. She returned to Gotham not to grieve, but to reclaim what was hers. But she wasnât the only one with ambition. Oswald âOzâ Cobblepotâonce a glorified errand boyâhad seized the opportunity to rise. He called himself âThe Penguin,â but Sofia knew better. He was a scavenger, picking at the bones of a legacy that belonged to her.
As Gotham crumbled, the battle for its soul would begin.
Part One: âEmergenceâ
In the chaotic aftermath of Gothamâs seawall collapse and the assassination of crime lord Carmine Falcone, mid-level mobster Oz Cobb seizes a critical opportunity. Eliminating Falconeâs heir, Alberto, Oz asserts himself as a formidable player. He forges a strategic alliance with Sofia Falcone, Carmineâs volatile daughter, aiming to fill the power vacuum and dominate Gothamâs criminal enterprises. This partnership sets the stage for a treacherous journey marked by ambition and betrayal.
Part Two: âConsolidationâ
As Oz and Sofia introduce a potent new drug, âBliss,â to Gothamâs streets, they manipulate alliances with the Triads and other crime syndicates to expand their influence. Ozâs protĂŠgĂŠ, Victor âVicâ Aguilar, faces a moral crossroads between loyalty and the pursuit of a better life. The duoâs audacious moves draw the ire of rival factions, including the Maroni family, igniting a violent power struggle that tests Ozâs cunning and resilience.
Part Three: âBetrayalâ
The fragile alliance between Oz and Sofia fractures as mutual distrust and personal vendettas come to the forefront. Sofiaâs discovery of Ozâs involvement in her brotherâs death propels her into a vengeful crusade. Meanwhile, Ozâs relationship with his ailing mother, Francis, deteriorates amidst escalating tensions. Betrayals abound as former allies turn into adversaries, culminating in a series of calculated moves that leave Gothamâs underworld in turmoil.
Part Four: âDominionâ
In a climactic confrontation, Oz outmaneuvers Sofia and the Maroni family, solidifying his dominance over Gothamâs criminal landscape. Utilizing the cityâs abandoned underground railway, he establishes a new base of operations to control the distribution of Bliss. As Oz embraces his identity as âThe Penguin,â he stands atop the underworld hierarchy, embodying the ruthless ambition that propelled his rise. Yet, his ascent comes at a profound personal cost, leaving him isolated in his newfound power.
This four-part cinematic journey offers a deep exploration of ambition, loyalty, and the corrupting influence of power within Gothamâs dark and treacherous world.
INTENTIONS: To craft a quintology that expands upon The Penguin series, presenting a chronological storyline that introduces Sofia Falcone from the very beginning. By weaving her journey alongside Oswald Cobblepotâs rise, this adaptation aims to provide a deeper, more empathetic understanding of her character. Rather than a mere antagonist, Sofia is portrayed as a rightful heir to Gothamâs criminal empire, shaped by a legacy of power, betrayal, and survival. This extended narrative will explore her motivations, struggles, and ambitions, ensuring that her role is not just a footnote in Penguinâs storyâbut an equally compelling force within Gothamâs underworld.

Your patience and passion for Star Wars law shines through bright with this one.
Itâs been a joy to see your progress on youtube and I appreciate the preview.
Bravo, dude!!
Synopsis:
âAlien: Romulusâ is a 2024 science fiction horror film directed by Fede Ălvarez, positioned chronologically between the original âAlienâ (1979) and âAliensâ (1986). The narrative centers on Rain Carradine (Cailee Spaeny), a 25-year-old orphan laboring under harsh conditions in the Weyland-Yutani mining colony on Jacksonâs Star. Her constant companion is Andy (David Jonsson), an android programmed by her father to act as her protective brother.
Intentions:
My intention was to craft a standalone horror experience that captures the raw terror and isolation of encountering the Xenomorph for the first time, with a focus on building fresh characters, new lore, and an atmosphere of relentless dread without relying on nostalgia. I also aimed to remove any fan service or callbacks to Alien and Aliens that felt jarring. This approach ensures that Alien: Romulus stands on its own as a terrifying sci-fi horror film rather than a tribute to past entries. The goal is to make audiences feel the unknown again, just as they did in 1979, while allowing this film to serve as a 1.5 bridge between the two classics.

This sounds worse than the series. Giving PIP a voice, & Darth Plagueis an apprentice!?
I thought the Pio voice worked very well. It became a droid with an attitude similar to 3P0 and R2 in the Original Trilogy.
The Plageuis having an aporentice was likely typed in error. His appearance was moved to a different and more appropriate spot. Nothing more than that.
Ignore them. Theyâre just trolling for attention after being banned from MRDb and MR Discord for constant rudeness, entitlement and harassing other faneditors which lead to them giving bad reviews despite not gaining access to edits.
Thank you for your kind words. Iâm glad you enjoyed this project. đ
