The place that was created to be AGAINST Special Editions became a factory for amateur creation of them, LOL. 😃
In my opinion there is one major flaw in the whole “Chewie blew up”-scenario: It’s just not believable. Not for one second in the cinema when I first watched did I think Chewie was killed of like that. And I don’t think showing him on a ship for second will change that.
From a story-perspective I get that Rey and the other characters thinks he died, but they will already think he’s there, even without the scene of him on the ship.
I may sound quite negative now, but I actually like the idea of this little scene. The problem is that to make it at least a little believable that he died, I would have to see him inside the ship with the explosion catching him. But then you have the problem of him not being hurt at all when we see him again!
(And as regarding all fanedits: the chance for anybody to never have seen the Disney-version (or at least not knowing what happens in it), watching this edit is quite slim. Everyone watching this fan-edit one knows Chewie lives, so no-one will get tricked to think otherwise - with or without the scene on the ship.)
Lol, I think the render being finished “in about a week” was a bit generous on my part haha:
I’ve made an alarm in my calender! 😄
went to the site, but not clear how to get a link or make contact…
Scroll up a little to my earlier post 😃
Wow! I’ve never seen the deleted scenes look this good. They have always stuck out like a sore thumb because of the low(er) quality, but here they look flawless. Never seen the bedroom scene before and now I wonder why no one else include it.
Now all that is missing is fixing the annoying laugh of the children.
My biggest question after seeing this is “why?”.
Why did we need this story (as a feature film). I can hardly see how this one will have any relevance in the bigger picture - the talked about movie in the future with Thrawn.
It was an OK sidequest at best. But all the monsters got boring after a while. When the white one came in the end my reaction was “ugh… another one??”.
As I said - OK. Nothing more, nothing less. Will not watch again.
Did you have the timestamps for these? I fixed that so many times from the initial sub generation 😅 can’t believe some got passed me!!! Haha
😄
Davin is at 00:17:27
Tuscans is actually twice - maybe I got used to it by the second time 😅
01:08:14 and 01:14:22
I’m sorry for commenting on the old books, when all the focus should be on the new one, but I thought I’d comment when my memory is still fresh. So here are some nitpicks on book 3:
Your logo in the start of the movie seems to be cropped? Like the top and bottom is missing. I’ve sneak peeked on book 4 and it is the same crop there. 1, 2 and 5 are correct though.
When Mando has left Nevarro Carson arrives in the following scene. I now nothing about pacing and how to structure a movie, so this is just my humble opinion: would it not be better to show Mando arrive at Tatooine and then let Carson arrive after this, to make it feel like a little time has passed before his arrival.
At the boat scene, right after Mandos release (1.38.40), there seem to be a shift in the color - at least at my end. In lack of any professional words: it seem to go from “bluey” to “greeny”.
And I feel bad for nitpicking on The Master Subitler himself (since I am one of those who nag most about getting subtitles!), but if the g00b is going to make a update on the subitles at one point: Davan is called “Davin” in the subtitles and the Tuskens is written as “Tuscans” at one point.
Nevertheless, another impressive edit!
Unfortunately there’s not really anything else about Boba’s initial acceptance to the tribe. That’s just how it plays out in the show so I have to work with what exists. As far as the chronologies, Boba and Din’s stories are told thematically as parallels and contrasts, but they are not at all chronologically connected until they end up in the Fennec scene. If you think about it, the intro we see of Boba climbing out of the sarlacc happens within a couple days of Return of the Jedi, and the Mandalorian show starts 6+ years later! The creators of BoBF did not really consider how the timeline works… so the pacing of how long Boba was with the Tuskens does not at all feel like it should. But you will want to view all those scenes as occassional snippets over years.
Makes sense! Thanks for your reply 😃
Been watching the first two books the last two evening - what a thrill! Even better than I hoped to dream.
The first one is absolutely flawless. Great work!
Book 2 is nearly flawless. There were a few things i noticed when watching it, and if you every gonna go back at book 2 I thought I’d share them.
Is there some kind of technical error around the time they find Fennec? Or is it just my PC that can’t seem to handle the (dark) background colors correctly? The background is very blurry for a several minutes.
The 3 Blurrghs is seen by the bonfire at 1:43:00, but in the next scene just Quill is riding one - Cara and Mando is walking. Were the other two eaten? 😄
I’m guessing you’re holding on the face reveal until that moment and therefore cut the scene where he takes of the helmet for IG-11. And I really like that idea! But then it is a bit clunky that Mando tells them to leave him and go down the sewers - only for him to be down there with them in the next scene. I guess we got some explanations for this with IG-11 telling that he got a Bacta infusion, but I’m guessing I would scratch my head a little if I hadn’t seen the show and knew how that scene originally played out.
These are minor tough. It is a bigger problem that “do the magic hand thing!” is gone 😮
I like the way you incorporated Boba Fetts story into this. My only remark is that I felt his acceptance as a tribe member felt a bit rushed. But maybe is also was like that in the series - I’m not going to see that one again too check! How long was Mando at the village? I feel Boba Fetts time with the Tuskens should be many months, but since is happend the same time as Mando was at the village it feels like he only where there like a couple of weeks.
Please don’t take this too negavtive! If Book 1 wa 10/10, then the second book was 9,5/10. Really looking forward to watch the next books!
(My biggest concern is that I’m going to bed now - and all I’m doing is humming on the Boba Fett theme song!)
It grew on me - and I well definitely watch the next season also.
MINOR SPOILER:
But was it only I who rolled my eyes a bit when he showed up? Filoni/Disney really have a thing for putting him in everything. And it felt weird to me that he did not say Anything. In the movies and the other show it rather seems impossible to make him shut up. 😛
Please don’t take this as nagging, but how is this edit going along?
Been looking forward to this for a while now! 😄
EDIT: And yes all my films have subtitles thanks to g00b!
Even the first two?
I think I have the latest versions, but Book 1 and 2 does not have subtitles. 🤔
The show feels pretty “meh” for me. It’s OK - nothing more, nothing less.
But I do feel this show might be the most “Earthy” I’ve seen Star Wars. The tip of the iceberg was when they played a “football” match at a stadium. I’m not particular familiar with the Extended Universe, so it might have happend there, but that was a new one for me.
The landscapes look so much better here! They really stick out like a sore thumb in the movie.
Just to be sure: regarding the Shadow of the Sith - you are talking about the edit by L8wrtr?
It’s Gigawattboy’s edit. Ironically I got a share recently from L8wrtr for his prequals and when I looked he calls his “Shadow of the Sith” Not sure who is the original or if one used the other, but it is definately Gigawattboy’s version that has the redub voice. in looking quick it looks like the opening crawls are different, so it starts differntly for sure
Thanks for the info! I’ve seen the edit from L8wrts and I couldn’t remember any redub, hence my confusion 😄

And so, I am going to announce a hard deadline of: May the Fourth. This is the first time I’m committing to an actual release date.
I noticed that you didn’t mention what year…
Just kidding! 😄 This is great and exciting news!
I’ve double checked this again, the reduced visual details is from the upscaling process. In some instances it’ll remove detail (as it assumes it’s grain and noise) but in other instances it makes the image much sharper and more defined.
Interesting! Out of curiosity: is it possible to teach the AI what works and what doesn’t?
In other words: Can you tell the AI that in this particular scene there is noe grain and noise, and then it will try the upscaling again with another result? (I am NOT asking you to do these with every scene, I just wonder if it’s possible! 😄 )
It works very well! Does not stand out at all for me.
A great interview that touches on the ALI leaks by our own Benjamin K and doubleofive
I opened the link and saw that the interview lastet over an hour. My first respons was “I don’t have time for that today, I’ve got more important things to do”. So I skipped five minutes in to take a quick check to see if this was something I should watch later. The guys seemed cool and interesting so I stuck around a few more minutes
…and suddenly somehow the whole hour had went by. Oh well, I can do my more important tasks tomorrow 😄
Yeah, I thought that was the reason. And as I said, it just confused me bit at first, it’s really not a problem to redownload 😃
As English is not me first language, subtitles to fan edits is absolutely marvelous and not something I am spoiled with getting! So thanks again for providing them, both here and on your Rebels recut.
Hey all, just wanted to announce that Darthg00b has completed the subtitles for Book 3! Give him a big round of applause
Clap, clap!
Exciting stuff this! I got two questions about the subtitles I hope you don’t mind me asking:
Is there any reason why the subtitles is not in a separated file? No t a big problem really, I just got a little confused before I understood that I had to download the whole movie once more to get subtitles.
I can’t seem to find subtitle versions for movie 1-2. Am I missing something or do they not exist?
Thanks again, to both the editor and the “subtitlor”!
Saw the whole trilogy a few days ago and I have to agree with the latest speakers. To include som clips from the TV-series in Rogue One is truly a great idea to connect the whole thing together. If I was to nitpick, I would place the Bix scene at the very end - maybe even in a post-credit scene (even tough post-credit scenes is not very “Star Warsihy”). Anyway, Rogue One is great stuff.
But yeah, the TV seasons feels a bit rushed when they cut down to movies. It’s a great way to get Cassians story, but I really feel we loose a lot. However, this was the intention of the edits, so salute to the editor who did a great job to achieve his goal.
It would be great tough, if there was a fan edit of the TV shows that gives us much of the extra stuff and still fits well with this version of Rogue One. “Two short seasons and a movie”. Have you considered this, 21C?
Anyway - thank you very much for a fun night with Cassian!
All the members on this site should get a “OK, you were right”-free ticket to a pre-screening of this movie!
…and they should thank us personally when they see the box office and sale numbers afterwards.
