Would like a link whenever!
Would like a link whenever!
Ah right I’m familiar with that method I mod Skyrim a lot. I think it got a v3 update recently but it’s still noticeably robotic.
same lol
The video is private 😦
Do you think this is better than ElevenLabs?
Unless it recently got updated, no its definitely not. XVAsynth Is much more robotey atleast in the past.
Sameee
Wow! I can’t wait for this! This is looking very promising.
Honestly an option could be to have all of dookus dialogue in those scenes/ the entire episode be from AI and then add the eq effect or what haves you. So it’s all consistent with eachother.
Id also say no, I think it mainly would disconnect the plot of the episodes.
OK, I’ve had some requests lately for how I produce the intros and outros for my episodes.
- Custom credits (feel free to steal mine) run from 01:30.19 to 01:32.08 and that they’re backed by a frame of the starfield from the proper credits
Let me know if you guys want any of my specific assets.
I may of missed this, but where do we get the credits / opening music if we want to make our own custom episodes?
Looks great, very exciting stuff going on here.
I personally think its best to release book 5 6 and 7 first in that order, as that seems like you were already planning on doing
can’t wait to see the clips when they’re ready!
oops I must of missed that, either way I’ll be watching out for this with great interest!
Wow I’d love a link to this and your other prequel edits! Sounds great!
Wow, that is a radical change. But on paper atleast I think it sounds great at my first read through it!
If you’re able to pull it off seamlessly that is, then this sounds potentially incredible.
I think the main thing here to consider is that (IMO atleast) if the edits aren’t near “invisible” then the story may not hit the way that it should.
But if you’re able to properly get grpgu out of those storyline in the way you outlined seamlessly then it sounds incredible.
Would love a link from anyone who has this, sounds interesting!
in fact, if you still have the rough cut, id love to give it a watch if you’re willing
ohhh now this is exciting
Maybe there is just a way to keep the poison without it taking up so much time? Cause I agree it was a bit dull, but feel it may be needed if the black market is brought up at all in the episodes
I’ve finished re-watching every episode in this edit, and written some notes while watching through it all for feedback.
S01E05: I thought this episode was very solid, and everything worked the way I imagine you wanted it to. I do however wish there were eventual plans for an extended version, as I think the episode would be improved with more of the clone training section, it moves by really quickly and admittedly effectively though, so I can imagine this would be low priority for you to add.
S02E03: Maybe I need to re watch this episode again, but to me this was the only episode out of the edit that didn’t work for me. I intentionally didn’t re watch any of the “original” clone wars episodes in some time before watching the edit so I could try and see it for what it was. However to me at least, it felt like this episode had been cut up and stitched back together a bit too much.
In the opening text, it mentions ahsoka is helping train the kids in secret, but throughout the entire episode this doesn’t seem to be the case, as Anakin, and the prime minister of Mandalore both don’t seem surprised by her being there at all. So my first suggestion for this episode would be to remove it being a “secret” that she’s there at all.
Next, I felt confused most of the episode about what the plot really was. It wasn’t clear whether or not to me that Satine knew of the Black Market scheme going on, and it felt odd to me that she was blaming death watch for the Black Market when that doesn’t really seem like something Death Watch would even be able to do since they were not part of the government on Mandalore. I honestly think it may be best to just re introduce the whole food poisoning angle that was in the original episode, because it felt like something was missing in the episode without some form of it.
I also similarly but to a much lesser extent felt that cutting out the kids sneaking into the warehouse and recording the black market deal felt very much like something was… missing. Maybe that’s just me though.
S03E04: This episode was very strong, the only slight criticism I really have is that I think you could keep the scene of Anakin telling R2 to go get help, otherwise to me it just felt like R2 simply disappeared. I think it could be beneficial too to keep some of the cowardice of that one bounty hunter that Aura eventually kills, as it kind of comes a bit out of left field to me otherwise.
S04E07: Another very strong episode, it was overall a very seamless episode where the edits weren’t noticeable which I assume is the overall goal of the project. I do have however one tiny bit of criticism for this particular episode. I feel as though the scene of the fives getting drugged on the way to Coruscant would be beneficial to include. Otherwise it’s confusing as to why he’s acting the way he is, and is acting visually loopy as we see him before he enters the warehouse while trying to reach Rex and Anakin. We visually see that his vision is blurry and it doesn’t ever really explain why. So the audience is probably gonna assume it is because his chip was removed, which then only brings up more questions as to why every other clone that removes their chip in Star Wars cannon seems perfectly fine. (Rex, Wolf, the Bad Batch, etc…)
S02E09: There’s a small typo I believe in the opening text. It says “stetched” not “stretched”.
Finally probably my most controversial opinion would be that you could avoid most of the shifting quality in art style by moving forward S01E07,S02E02 and S02E05 to be the finale of Season 2. This would likely make the edit as a whole “invisible” IMO as that’s the only real thing that would likely stick out to the average “first time viewer”. Though I completely understand wanting some of these episodes in the earlier positions to get the Maul plot started sooner and spread across the whole series.
I hope none of the criticisms come off on the wrong way because I think this project is fantastic, and has already fully replaced the original for me. Though I do miss a few arcs from the original show, such as the younglings arc, and Ventress bounty hunter arc.
Anyways, again this project is amazing, and you should be very proud of what you were able to pull off in transforming the show into something more.
Could I get a link to episode 0?
Unless I’m mistaken, I’ve found a typo in the opening text for S2E09
Assault on Geonosis.
It says the clone army is “stetched” thin, instead of stretched thin.
Very excited for this!
Would love a link please!
Ah I see, well if you ever do plan on adding the two weaker episodes in a lower cut that would be awesome! If you ever find the time/meaning to do it that is!
Yeah that could potentially work, It’d have to be carefully included though otherwise it could seem real faneditey.
I wanted to ask Eddie, do you still plan on doing more Ryloth content? I’m rewatching refocused (really enjoying it!).
I’ve just finished Season 1 again, and to me I feel like the Resistance on Ryloth episode could either
A. Use more Mace and Syndulla content within that episode, as it felt to me a bit jumpy.
Or B. Include more of the ground content in a separate optional episode that follows Resistance on Ryloth.
