That’s so much better, it actually makes the original shot look awkward without it lol.

I love the added TIE fighter. Makes the shot more interesting.

I’d love to check it out as well!

Love it! That is much better!

Thanks for testing that, Ady. I’ve added a different take which I think sounds better. I’ve tried putting the unmodified line in a rough test, and I definitely see what you mean, it’s missing that robotic quality despite it sounding like JEJ:

As you’ve made clear enough, you don’t feel it necessary to change this. The only reason I’m posting about it again is because I’m sure this will go in an alternative audio track project made by Octorox (or somebody else) at some point. What will likely end up happening is just replacing “Obi-Wan” with “Your mother” in the audio track to minimize any noticeable loss of that robotic quality between the sentences themselves . But all posts I make about this topic from now on will go in Octo’s miscellaneous projects thread, instead.

That test is perfect! I consider this an essential change for the perfect ROTJ edit, so I’ll definitely be on the look out for Octorox’s alternative audio when this project is finally done. 😃

the prequels don’t play a role

But hasn’t he changed things to conform to the sequels? Seems dumb to then throw the prequels to the wayside. I haven’t followed every detail of Revisted, so if Adywan stated this, I must have missed it.

Wanting to give this a bump, as it was the edit I was most looking forward to. I still come back to watch the awesome clips. Hopefully you one day feel like picking this back up again.

Adywan, or anybody making an edit of ROTJ, is free to use these:

If for whatever reason these two particular takes of the line aren’t up to snuff I’ll add more.

I honestly think this is an essential change for any ROTJ edit.

This was awesome! It’d be awesome to work with an author that could actually tie it together into an unofficial novel.

I’d love a link!

When it comes to film and tv media, my stance has been known - although heavily misunderstood by many. I’d argue it’s even been forcefully misunderstood the second time around.

It’s okay Anjohan. I 100% agree with your points and I’m sure there are plenty that also do, but choose to just stay silent to avoid the headache’s it is sure to cause. I come here for the fanediting portion of the community and rarely care to jump to these posts, knowing they are gonna go down the political route with the stupid crap these directors and actors constantly say before these movies come out…

But if they want to push their movies this way, that’s fine, cause I ain’t watching them, and couldn’t careless about them. I’ll just stick to the EU at this point. Hell I’d rather read Crystal Star again over watching one more second of Rey on screen.

So with that I’d say it ain’t even worth arguing anymore. Disney will continue to nosedive and I couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome for them.

Id love a link to these!

I’d love a link!

I’d love to check out the rough cut!

If Sabine has to have the force, they shouldn’t have made her terrible at it in the beginning. The show spend it’s first few episodes basically telling you she’s terrible via Huyang. Instead she should have been able to use it to a small extent from the start, which could have easily been hand-waved away as something she learned how to do from her previous training with Ahsoka.

The way the show did it made Sabine’s force abilities feel unearned. Because she goes from not being able to move a cup just a few episodes earlier, to being able to push Ezra 30 feet across the sky. She even barely was able to grab her lightsaber in the very same episode, it’s just way to big of jump in power scaling. It could have worked if there was a “Oh I can do this.” moment in the show to justify her new “outlook” on the force, but there wasn’t.

I think the best way to correct this would be removing all of the earlier mentions and scenes of her being unable or terrible at using the force. Have her first time using the force be against her second fight with Shin, where she slightly pushes her. Showing the audience that she knows how to use it to some extent, instead of keeping the cup scene, where her face in that scene almost makes it look like she’s never seen the force or knows what it is lol.

I used ElevenLabs Voice Cloning. I only used one 5 second reference clip of Huyang dialogue to get that quality. It’s nowhere near perfect, but if someone spend time training the A.I., I think you could get a near perfect Huyang clone. I also pitched down a second track of the same dialogue and lower and raised the volume in certain spots to make it have the wobbly robot sound since the cloned voice didn’t really sound robot enough for me.

The Ahsoka lines such as “Thanks.” and “Where’s Sabine?” are also ElevenLabs Cloned lines.

If you ever come back to this wonderful edit, I hope you can plug-in the Anakin force ghost from Ahsoka. He should be close to the same age and he does not have the confused look on his face.

Thanks again for making this edit in the first place.

That’d honestly be a great idea. Considering he’s at an angle that’s more similar to Shaw’s original stance, instead of being awkwardly front facing like the replacement. He’s also making a far better face lol.

This finale sucked honestly. Here’s some random notes.

How does Huyang know who Kanan was? Kanan changed his name from Caleb Dume after he went into hiding. I don’t really remember any moment from Rebels of Kanan telling everyone his old name, other than maybe Ezra or Hera? I guess someone could have given him this information off screen, just seems like a plothole to me.

I hate that Sabine has this “hidden potential” now. She couldn’t move a cup a few episodes ago, but can now throw Ezra across the air? What has happened in these last few episodes that justifies that boost in ability?

Why did the TIE Fighters fly straight into Ahsoka’s ships wings? There was more then enough time for them to get out of the way, but I guess they are just terrible pilots. If we needed to take Ahsoka’s ship out of the equation, there is a hundred better ways they could have accomplished this than that scene lol.

The scene of Ahsoka, Ezra, and Sabine deflecting blasts from the Stormtrooper’s just looked completely comical to me. I don’t know why, but I think it has to do with how horrible Rosario Dawson is with lightsabers. She always looks incredibly awkward and sluggish when she’s using them. But this has been a problem with the entire show honestly. The fight with Elsbeth in this episode was much better, but you could tell it had to be greatly sped up.

Why is Ezra not able to get a single zombie Stormtrooper off his back? Needs Sabine to help him while he pretends to struggle from a single arm around him lol. Scenes like that make it hard for me to take him seriously. But I guess you need to dumb down Ezra to make Sabine look good, right?

We got no conclusion with Baylan, and since he will have to be recast, it will make it hard to connect with his story going forward with a whole new person playing him. Unfortunate with Ray’s passing, since he was the best character in the show.

Other than those things, this episode once again felt like something that could have been 20 minutes of content. The whole show feels like something that could have been half the length. Just completely dragged out for no reason.

I was holding out hope that this show could bring me back in since I love both Clone Wars and Rebels, but once again this feels like a complete dud for me. So many misses in a row for the live action shows… Boba, Obi-Wan, and then Mando S3… Andor was great, but not enough to carry Star Wars.

This show is the definition of 20 minute episodes stretched to 40+ minutes.

This was a pretty boring episode imo. A 20 minute plot stretched to 40+ minutes. Like I said with the last episode, you should remove all of the bandit scenes from Episode 6. We could just assume they are part of Thrawn’s forces that leave with Baylan and Shin. They didn’t end up being some important third faction.

I’m curious how you’re going to remove Ahsoka and Baylan’s fight, considering Ahsoka steals his Howler and then arrives on it in the next scene.

Also after seeing what feels like a conclusion to Hera’s B-plot, I feel most of it can just go. It felt like it accomplished absolutely nothing.

I really wish Vimeo didn’t get so strict as of late, so much less cumbersome than Drive.

How about these links?

Peter Pan said:

I used the arrival on Corellia, I can send you a link to the edit.

Yeah send it to me! And sorry didn’t intend to have those videos restricted. It should be fixed now.

What opening scene would you put in instead Peter Pan? If you move the attack on the cruiser scene, you’d need another scene that starts in space, so it can flow out of the opening crawl.

I can’t think of a scene off hand, but I’d love to see a mock up for that, cause I agree your solution would be the best.

The show really needs to be condensed into a single movie. I don’t think there’s enough good content here to make two separate movies.

We will have to see how long and how much fluff these last two episodes have. Cause we really need them to be about 30 minutes of usable content to get it down to a reasonable single movie runtime.

I was also gonna work on trying to remove the entire Hera and New Republic subplot. I hate that the NR won’t do anything. Especially considering one of their ships was just attacked and a prisoner freed. Them not wanting to help Hera in her pursuit makes zero sense.

Instead I was gonna have Huyang alone be the one to find Ahsoka:

Unfortunately the amount of work just wasn’t worth it. It’s doable, but I’m just not invested enough in this show to want to do all the masking it was gonna take to remove Hera’s squad from Seatos entirely.
