This is my attempt at it so far, if you care to take a look. I included the surrounding scenes because the Leia stuff doesn’t happen here now.

Yeah, that works.
I would have loved it if this scene has had some more weight to it, like being the third lesson Luke was owing Rey from VIII. But there is just not much to work with.

Under those circumstances, your take seems to be the most solid one.

Definitely agree, given the available material you’ve done a really nice job.

I’m not sure how you could remove Grogu from Tatooine without resolving the whole rancor rampage thing.

The rancor rampage can actually be cut by having Boba v Bane be the climax. Then cutting to the Fennec assassination scene.

Having you considered replacing the ‘Cobb Vanth in bacta tank/MOD-ifier guy’ scene with the humorous ‘Grogu getting a joyride in Mando’s ship’ scene as the post credit, therefore giving a more serious ending?

I was requested to redo some VFX shots so I’m now gonna relaunch this cut in March as I’ve only just released True Romance and don’t wanna get bombarded with too many requests at once.

Thanks for the update. Much appreciated

Hi, would your edit be available for viewing at this point? Would love to see it.

Wow. Today was totally not what I was expecting. Initial thoughts are that I interweave today’s episode with the present day story from the first 4 episodes, with them converging for the presumed 2 episode finale.

Definitely sounds like a good way to go! That would help inject a bit of life into Boba’s storyline

Much better episode today I thought, should prove very useful for the edit, although it is a significant detour

The key to this edit might be reducing boba fett’s dialogue as it seems out of character for him to be as verbose as he is in the show. I just read an interview with Temuera Morrison who said himself that he didn’t think it was consistent with previous appearances and had asked Jon Favreau to cut his dialogue down

Would it possible to get the link once the new versions have all finished encoding? Much appreciated

Thank you so much to all those who put in so many hours of hard work to bring this to the Star Wars Fandom. Fantastic achievement!

Congratulations on finishing. Could I get the updated link please?

Congratulations on finishing your edit smudger9, really looking forward to watching version 2

Both clips work well, I would probably favour the second on the grounds that the scenario is a little more straight forward, however both have their merits. Look forward to the final, updated edit

I have to agree with the other reviewers, this is an excellent piece of work. I would recommend this to everyone, thanks for sharing

Congrats! Would love to check out your final cut

Could I get a link please?

Congratulations on getting it finished, can’t wait to watch!

Fantastic news!

Could I get a link for V3 with the Palpatine additions? Thanks

Right… as with most editing tasks, the Tatooine to Trask segment turned out to be a rabbit hole!
Once I had decided that the simple wipe to cover the entire journey didnt flow, it opened up a lot of work and tinkering to get the segment to work. There were a number of things that made it tricky, such as Grogu’s variable presence in the cockpit. However, I have managed to put in the interaction with the X-wings, which has helped give the movie some galaxy-wide exposition.

Anyway, here is the completed segment.

All that is left now is some dialogue tidying, touching up the opening pan shot, end credits and a final decision on whether to include the deepfake Luke.

If anyone wants to do a test viewing let me know, it would be good to get a couple of checks before going public!

Overall the clip works well, but there is a minor continuity issues at the end- they land ok, but the ship is dripping wet as they walk away from it. Perhaps just cut from the landing straight to the overhead shot of them walking toward the canteena? Or cut out from the planet approach straight to the same shot of the party walking to remove the issue of the razor crest being damaged. There also a frame around 7 mins 19 secs that appears to just be a black screen. I would be happy to preview/test if it helps.

How’s the edit coming along? Are you still aiming for release today?

Great cut list, some really creative ideas. Loved all of your preview clips and super excited for release!

Would it be possible to have a link for this edit please? The changes and trims all seem very appealing

Is there anyone that would be able to share a link for this edit now that lorang has had to remove it? Please PM me if you can help. It would be much appreciated

Only read about the donation drive yesterday. Happy to chip in. Good luck, we’re all very appreciative of your efforts!

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

At first, I was like… but we don’t know where that person who planted it came from but then I realized it doesn’t matter. So, yeah, it’s really good. Perfectly seamless.

Yes, the insinuation being that its placed whilst Mando is on Trask, and we know the Empire has a presence there.

Here is the Corvus to Tython link. This one is pretty straightforward - just a couple of music edits and removal of the Child-Mando dialogue that I used in the Trask-Corvus link sequence.

Nice work on the audio to remove the bickering over Grogu being trained, totally seemless. Do you have a clip of your refined MOFF Gideon reveal to Mando?
