Let’s see if bringing a new inquisitor (and checking all the woke boxes, since USA and western world are now consumed by it)
Anybody who brings up “wokeness” like that deserves a permaban.
How about you allow people to discuss things instead of trying to remove people that have opinions you don’t like?
Let’s see if bringing a new inquisitor (and checking all the woke boxes, since USA and western world are now consumed by it) not seen in Rebels would add any interesting stuff. I suspect a redemption sub narrative, showing Ben that it’s possible for someone using the dark side to go back to the light.
While I agree with you it stinks of “woke”, I’m 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.
Another thing I wonder : what else is this series gonna stage? Since all SW shows have been adding side elements to sell the next show…
Isn’t there a rumor going around that Kenobi will be in Andor?
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.
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! 😂

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.
Good idea about the Fennec/Boba dialogue. I’ll see how it feels when I watch the full edit. I agree it makes Boba look weaker, but I like that it adds something to the Fennec-Boba relationship.
I agree that it would take a lot of Fennec/Boba’s relationship out, but I don’t think every moment of it needs to be removed. Just a few so it’s not like every time Boba has a plan, Fennec is right there to tell him why it’s no good or how she has a better idea. That’s one thing I disliked about the show. It felt like Boba was just kind of bumbling around with Fennec guiding him. He’s been a ruthless bounty hunter for so long, you’d think he’d have some level of assertion and confidence in his ideas. But in the show he’s very easily persuaded by everyone, especially Fennec.
I tried messing with that scene a bit just to visually show what I mean. The music obviously needs more fiddling with to line up properly. You could even leave in a few more back and forth shots I cut out to draw the suspension more.

Love a link as well!
Lots of new options opening up with the AI voices recently shared here.
In particular, Grievous is quite convincing, so I might be able to use that in my Massacre episode to help bridge the two, something like “I’ll deal with this Jedi distraction then muster my armies to take out those witches!”
Ahsoka and Anakin aren’t bad either, though generally robotic voices are better.
The clone trooper one is also very impressive!
Hey guys. Just finished BOBF and was sitting here bored. I remembered Shamook had done a deep fake with Harrison’s face onto Alden E, and I just had a thought.
Alden’s performance is awesome, but his voice is just slightly too high pitched. Its not deep like Harrison’s. So, I hopped in Audacity and did an amateurish pitch adjustment combined with Shamook’s video from a year back.
Sorry the audio isn’t great, but as a simple audio change, big impact especially with the deep faked face.
This is awesome! I’ve never given this movie chance (just ain’t Han without Harrison Ford for me), but if something like this was ever achievable I’d watch it in a heart beat.
On the one hand I enjoyed having something to watch, but on the other it seemed jumbled.
I had just watched a video essay about how Star Wars was very linear in its storytelling, introducing new things firmly in context of what came before and staying focused on the story. Maybe that was just on my mind, but this series certainly did not feel that way.
Boba Fett felt confused, and I don’t have much more of an idea who he is now than six weeks ago. I’m still not really sure how saving Mos Espa makes the Sand People’s lot any better.
Fortunately, this mess doesn’t have “Episode _” at the start of it, so I’m much more forgiving than if it had.
I have really enjoyed all of Mando and BoBF and am looking forward to doing a chronological edit of the three seasons.
I think this would really help the content here. This doesn’t really work as a standalone show IMO, even just as a fanedited movie it’d still be a weak entry. It would be much better to just inject the flashback scenes into the first season of Mando than play everything else out chronologically. Just edit down the present stuff from episodes 1-4 down to 2 episodes than follow with the last 3 episodes of BoBF. Essentially making them the first 5 episodes of Mando S3.
It absolutely did not ruin the saga, but if you want to hate it that’s cool. I’m more referring to the gatekeeping in the post you initially quoted.
It might not have ruined it for you, but it did ruin it for a large chunk of the fanbase. You can’t ignore that. I don’t like the gatekeeping either, you can like whatever you like. I ain’t here to tell you what to like. I hate what Disney has done to Star Wars, but to me, BoBF is doing what I wanted to see from Post-OT. I wanted to see Luke starting his Jedi Academy.
Why not just make the OT your conclusion? That is what some people here want anyway.
Unfortunately I’m addicted to Star Wars and want more. I hate the ST, but I don’t hate Mando and BoBF. These series are giving me more of what I wanted to see Post-OT, so I’d love to see them have a conclusion that I’m satisfied with.
As a fan of TLJ and how it handled Luke’s character arc, I take umbrage with that statement. It seems you can’t go a page on here without rampant ST hate and a willingness to vilify anybody who defends it.
If anything, this most recent episode is showing how Luke became the person he despised in TLJ. This is him as his pride and inexperience was getting the better of him.
I don’t remember vilifying anyone for liking or defending it. I think the ST is awful and completely ruined the entire saga, but hey if you like it that’s cool. I for one am hoping that whatever this “climactic story event” ending to Mando, Boba, and the Ashoka show can be a satisfying Post-OT conclusion, since the ST did the exact opposite for me.
« Member Luke and Yoda training ? »
« Member Luke wearing black outfit? »
« Member the training sphere? »
« Member Yoda’s tiny lightsaber? »This is such a disgrace. Disney is not killing SW: it’s the ones who praise this shit who are responsible. Endless stuff we have already seen… The Kenobi series is probably going to just be a patch to stage scenes we know about from the movies. Creativity is seriously brain dead here.
Funny thing is that the only stuff looking a bit different - the shinny biker gang - got a « fan » backlash.
Have you seen Matrix 4? It’s not good at all but in the opening scene there is a panel in the background : « For those who love to eat shit ».
Well…
Disney DID kill Star Wars. This is their attempt to pull the franchise back from the grave they put it in with the sequel trilogy. They’ve now swung completely into the opposite direction by doing heavy fan service to try and give fans what they think they want, and re-entice them to return to the franchise those people once loved.
While I agree that they are memberberrying it up, I don’t see anything wrong with what they are doing with Luke. They completely ruined his character in Last Jedi, and now we are finally seeing him do something a lot of fans wanted to see from the beginning. TRAINING HIS STUDENTS. Not him being a miserable failure like they presented him in the ST. Is it so weird to see him reusing lessons that both his masters used to teach him? Yeah it’s memberberries. But does it really not seem plausible?
With time, you will eventually see a piece of media depicting Grogu being trained by Rey Skywalker.
Oh god no. Please keep our precious Grogu away from that abomination.
I’ve seen a lot of talk online about Cad Bane’s pale skin colour being wrong when compared top TCW, but people seem to forget that he should be roughly in his 70s by the time of BOBF. Of course we have no idea how the Duros age, but I got the impression that it was meant to give him an aged appearance. Either way, he is blue, so I don’t really care. What does irk me a little bit though is how his voice has less of an electronic feel to it. They did the same to the Pykes and I don’t get why. Though this is also just a nitpick, and overall I just think its cool that they got the original voice actor back (though that hardly came as a surprise).
The skin color really isn’t so much an issue with me. His face is too bulky, should be a lot narrower than it was presented. Also the mouth placement and size of the eyes is wayyy off.
I am all for practical effects over using CGI, especially for the aliens. But I also think Disney has leaned way too into strictly practical. His mouth placement makes sense when lined up on a human actor. But it still looks off because of it. Disney needs to start implementing CGI as touch up’s for this sort of thing and stop being so intent on trying to right the wrongs of the prequel’s.
I really like this. Especially in a prequel trilogy edit that eliminates one of the films and puts Kenobi as a new Episode III (assuming that’s something we’ll be able to do).
It would be dope if someone would be able to take Kenobi, Andor and Rogue One and combine them all into a Frankenstein-esque Episode III.
This is exactly what I’m hoping to see. Merge episodes 1 and 2 together to make a new first movie, make 3 the second, than edit Kenobi, Andor, and Rogue One together into a third movie.

Well after the last episode it’s clear the best play is to make this Mandalorian 3. Maybe make the Boba flashbacks their own side movie.
Indeed. And TBH I can probably fit in enough edited flashbacks to support the narrative.
Yay! I was hoping there was a way to fit it in without needing to do a side movie/special with all the edited flashbacks together as a stand alone thing. I think the problem you may run into though is once Mando Season 3 comes out, you may end up having to make this 2 movies since you are now cutting into the runtime of what will be your Mando Season 3 movie without even beginning with Season 3’s material. Unless Mando Season 3 has enough filler to still get an edit around the 2h30m you’ve been shooting for, than it wouldn’t be any issue.
I recall you had plans at one time to go back through Mando Season 1&2 and make it 2 movies per season instead of 1 per each season. If you ever decide to go back through for that, I think you could easily fit the Boba Fett flashbacks into the earlier movies, instead of it cutting into the plotline here.
You should incorporate all the Fett flashbacks (trimmed up as much as you can) into your previous Mando movies. Having the Fett flashback scenes could also help with the passage of time going on in the Mando edits. Every time Mando jumps to a new planet, flip over to what Fett is doing with the Tusken’s etc. Then start the third movie with all the current Fett timeline scenes from BoBF.
I knew this scene would be difficult…

Episode 5 of Season 2 with the dreaded Mall fight. This is going to be the hardest cut yet…
The Google Drive link for Season 1 v1 is up! PM me for the link.
v1 cuts to S1 are finished! I will now be moving on to S2. Once S1 and S2 are finished I will hopefully be submitting them to Fanedit.org.
All cuts to the first 3 episodes of S1 have been added to original post!
The remaining cuts to S4 have been added to the original post! I will be now going through S1-3 before returning with a v2 of S4 after some feedback! I noticed that I had some sharpness lost in the video when encoding it for editing. This will be fixed when I do a run through with v2.
