Good. Twice the pride, double the fall (just kidding XD).

I think it’s good. However, in your video she’s really just a bit more younger. I don’t know if this result is enough to make a significant difference for the viewer, you know? Just my opinion, though.

Super cool fan film of Cad Bane, released this week:

I wonder if this could be implemented in a Book of Boba Fett edit…

I think that even the worst concept could be transformed into a good story. Just contract the right people to do the job. To say that Boba was born to be a side character just won’t work for me.

I’m all for giving Jar Jar more meaning in the story. That said, I think that making Jar Jar a representative, and/or their deliberate contact, is a good atempt to archieve this goal.

Then the ending, featuring the turn, and victory:
3. Obi-Wan’s being taunted by Maul’s sparks, but jumps up and bisects him. Hope for the Obi-Wan plot
4. Padmé’s team capture Gunray. Mission victory comes LAST, so we don’t get the high while Obi-Wan’s still in trouble.
5. Back to Obi-Wan, for Qui-Gon’s death scene. *Now that the mission is complete, we see the cost of victory."
6. Endings.

I understood what you meant to do with 4 and 5, but personally watching the clip, I think that the sequence would flow better with 3, 5 and 4. Cut to a brief scene of ten seconds, just to return to the exact same moment where we are before, got weird for me. Besides that, I think that the whole clip flowed really smooth, I couldn’t even tell what was edited and what wasn’t, you did a really good job with it.

Do you guys think that we are gonna to see the rare deleted scene between Obi-Wan and Padmé in the show?

Honestly this is one of the few things that I really want to see in this.

While I agree with you that it is for “woke” reasons, I’m always willing to look past it if the character is done well. I do think your right in your assessment. She’ll be the big hero at the end of it, saving Kenobi or something against Vader. If she’s propped up at the expense of Kenobi, it will be another case of them destroying the legacy characters in favor of propping their own characters up. They did it with Boba and Fennec. Boba was weak and stupid, while the Fennec was the smart and decisive one. I don’t even hate Fennec, but it’s just so obvious in that show.

Totally agree. A “strong female character” is never just a “random strong female character” in Disney Star Wars, we all know this. Rey, Holdo and Fennec (in BOBF) had the power to make men around them seem stupid. This new inquisitor have more screen time than any other character in the trailer. It isn’t a “conspiracy theory”, the concern is real.

Wasn’t that impressed. Hopefully if the show isn’t great, it’s at least salvable with fanedits. That has become the new standard for most Disney Star Wars content for me.

That’s my attitude with anything produced after 1980 in this franchise.

This. Unfortunately.

I don’t know if this would make sense, but it’s possible to put the gungans battle right after Qui-Gon left Tatooine? My idea with this is to make the conquest of Naboo be the motivation to Padmé abandon the diplomacy and to take action on the separatists, in the third act of the movie.

I find funny this aspect of BOBF, about it trying to “humanize” Tuskens. Like, they enslaved Boba, tortured him, in the same way the Tuskens from Episode 2 did, they aren’t THAT different lol.

I read somewhere that this change about Tuskens have some connection to the way some americans saw/see the indigenous people as wild men, and that BOBF wanted to show that this is a prejudiced view of them, showing that through the sand people. I don’t know if this is true, but I saw that Disney put some advertising about this subject before movies like Peter Pan, so I thought that this had some relation to the Tusken thing.

I enjoyed it. Not as much as the Mandalorian, but that’s okay. It was still a good time and a nice little bridge between Mando season 2 and 3.

People really need to stop projecting so many expectations onto Star Wars. Actually modern fandoms need to do that in general, I swear there’s not a single fandom
nowadays where the fanbase collectively enjoys more than 1% of its content.

Life is more fun if you learn to just sit back and enjoy the ride, instead of picking everything apart and fixating on how you’d have personally handled various details.

BOBF was a mess, dude. Good that you and others liked it, but it’s super normal people being disappointed with this series, because it is disjointed. It’s not about “fixating on how you’d have personally handled various details”, the producers could surprise us with something we don’t expect and that could be awesome, but the series is weak in various aspects that users here already pointed out. It’s not people’s fault if writing in other shows are bad, either.

You could even have Boba acknowledge Fennec coming up behind him but they share no dialogue. Once again the music isn’t perfectly timed. If I was doing a full blown edit I’d take more time to really get the music just right of course! 😂

I think that’s great. For me, Boba talking just the necessary and making his decisions by his own is the right direction to go.

WitchDR said:

Looking great smudger!

Like szopman said above I do think it could use some trimming of the dialogue. Something I’d really like to see in the edit is less “smart Fennec -stupid Boba”. I hate that Fennec always has to talk him in the right direction. It just further drives the wedge in his past self being the most fearsome bounty hunter, when he constantly makes stupid moves. You should try removing Fennec talking Boba out of attacking Bane in that scene. Just have him make the smart decision of being more calculated when going against Bane, instead of external forces motivating him to be.

I totally agree.

Eh, sorry to bother, because this is a topic that fits more with the montly thread than yours, but I have an idea…

It’s possible to make Anakin build R2 instead of C-3PO with editing, given the images and audio available? Because thinking about it, 3PO being built by Anakin doesn’t make much sense story wise, but R2 makes A LOT of sense, since Anakin have a strong connection with R2 and vice-versa, and R2 have a really strong connection with Luke.

I liked it, the only thing I found a bit odd was the fire springing up on the floor. Maybe just a smoke there would be good. Or you could set the fire somewhere else, like in the trees or in the ship.

In the second sequence? Or the first with the stairs background?

In the sequence showing the stairs as background and in the sequence showing the square. The two have a fire on the floor.

Good to know you are achieving your goals with your edit, smudger! This is a really tricky edit, considering the series problems.

One of the big flaws of BOBF to me was not establish the connection between Boba and Bane early on the story. Bane isn’t mentioned a single time before, so their settlement in the end is weak, emotionally speaking. I had one idea that maybe could help a bit in this aspect, that is using AI voice lines to establish the relationship between the two. In their fight, Bane mentions a “final lesson” to Boba. Maybe, when Boba was talking to Fennec in the desert about abandoning his current life style (in the flashbacks), he could talk about Bane being his mentor in the adolescence and how he introduced Boba to the bounty hunter life, and that they parted ways (or something like that). Then, their final fight would have some meaning, i.e, to won Bane, Boba had to change his bounty hunter fighting style to the Tuskens one, this way symbolically abandoning the life Bane put him into and embracing the new life based on the Tuskens creeds.

Yeah, maybe dead soldiers would be good, since that is more of a royal area (I think). One thing I think could be good too is changing the color of the sky, or at least put more smoke in the sky area

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

I like that, but logistically you’d need to keep Grogu on Tatooine otherwise there’s no existing reunion between him and Mando.

Technically you don’t really need to maintain Grogu on Taooine to have a Mando and Grogu reunion. CarboniteSolo give this idea for a sequence of events, what I think could work for the final:

-Have Din arrive and spend time talking with Ahsoka, Luke training Grogu, but omit the scene when Ahsoka talks about Grogu’s training being interrupted if he sees him.

-Luke asking Grogu if he wants the lightsaber or his friend’s gift.

-Then we see Din’s ship flying off the planet.

-The last scene is Grogu tapping on the glass and Din pushing the button to accelerate.

Plus, you could take the central lines of their reunion and paste somewhere in this footage, maybe in the scene where Din’s ship is flying off the planet.

Wow, sounds really natural, fits surprisingly well with the scene. Very, very good!

“After so many years as a Padawan of Master Yoda, I expect you to be more mindful of the force”.

I think this line works really well.

3.) GL creating the age difference between him and Padme which you can’t really fix.

Some users in this site suggested to make Padme’s voice more thin and Anakin’s voice more deep through editing, in TPM. I never saw this in practice, but maybe this idea could work to shorten the age difference between the two.

Oh yeah, I agree that the story should flow seamlessly, if not it will not be good on screen. I hadn’t seen your edit, but I sure want to see it, I’m always looking for more bold edits. I like what other editors made with TPM, but for me this movie needs a bit more work than just cut bad parts/add deleted scenes, to be a better film. TPM is complex in that sense.

Regarding the AI voices you putted on the clip, I’m always in favor to use them in edits. As you said, AI voices are tricky, but if you find the right words and tones to use, works really well for me.
