Alright here’s a couple of things after watching through your work print!
You’ve done a wonderful job of blending in Din’s plotline throughout. While I found the show to be pretty meh, the Din parts were great. So them being more sprinkled throughout the whole thing definitely improves it.
Din telling the Armorer he got the Beskar Spear from a Jedi creates a plot hole with your second movie edit. You removed Ashoka giving it to him, so now we have to imply that she did that off screen, or Din ran into another Jedi before going to Tython or before he met Ashoka… which obviously doesn’t work. While this isn’t a huge thing, I think removing the line of receiving it from a Jedi is the best option. I could see this causing confusion for someone going in blind and just watching these edits.
I do feel like too much of the Fett flashbacks are cut. We get too little of his life with the Tusken’s to make his connection to them feel real. No build up to the “biker gang” attacking the village also makes it come out of nowhere and makes it feel like we are missing stuff. I’m still on the side of thinking the Fett flashbacks would fit better being in chronological order as a “B” plot in the Mando movies, since I feel they just bog the pacing down of the current plotlines… even in a massively trimmed fashion like this. This would also allow for less “Bacta Boba” scenes sprinkled throughout, which just push that weak Boba Fett angle that the show suffers from.
The cut from Din trying out his new ship is a little rough. I know you have to remove the New Republic X-wing pilots, since you removed most of their plot in your second movie. I’d have to re-look at the original scene… but maybe keep a little bit of Din hovering above the planet, or just cut him climbing the atmosphere all together.
The Cad Bane “Fennec Shand” line is great way to have him acknowledge her which was a problem I had with the edit I posted a few pages back. Glad you decided to make Boba Fett the one to come to the conclusion to not fight instead of Fennec.
I love that you removed the Majordomo negotiation scene all together. Also so happy to see the chase scene gone, I didn’t even notice its absence in the watch trough lol!
