The New Republic EP1: A Vergence in the Force 4K (The Mandalorian Season 1 Edit) [V4 RELEASED]

Iā€™m just running through my first cut of the season 2 edit, and the one thing that keeps nagging me is a desire to put the Tattooine episode into this fanedit. I just feel that seeing how Fennic and Boba came together is important. Not necessarily for the Mandalorian, but for the Book of Boba Fett which seems like it will run alongside the Mandalorian.

I suppose there are four ways of doing this.

  1. Cut the village scenes completely and when Mando says ā€œlooks like this planet is takenā€ transition wipe to the Razorcrest in space. This would keep the current 2.5 hour run time.
  2. Keep the village scenes but cut the walker battle, giving a 2.75 hour runtime.
  3. Keep all the village scenes and have a 3 hour runtime.
  4. Produce two 2-hour movies for season 1 by including the initial Nevarro trip and Jawas and ending episode 1 as Mando escapes Nevarro with the child.

What are peopleā€™s thoughts?

I just finished watching your season 1 cut, and have got to say itā€™s nearly flawless. Thank you so much for your hard work! It will be my go to file to rewatch season 1 from now on. The work you did on episode two and the ā€œrandom encounterā€ with the Mudhorn is really great, especially.

However, some minor nitpicks that I know you thought of while making the cut:
If I was the one editing, Iā€™d have left Grogu eating the frog after the AT-ST attack in the village. Itā€™s a great running gag, that I think leads into Greefā€™s line ā€œHeā€™s trying to eat me!ā€ youā€™ve also omitted. Not that itā€™s comedy gold, but itā€™s a fun aside that I like to watch and builds on Groguā€™s character.
The main thing Iā€™d have done differently though, is to have cut Mandoā€™s flashback in the last episode, and instead I wouldā€™ve cut to the stormtroopers shooting the shit with Grogu after killing Kuil. I think itā€™s a nice break from Moff Gideonā€™s siege, and with some minor cuts (like leaving out them shooting the can) it doesnā€™t add much screentime compared to the flashback, which I think is absolutely non essential and just filler.

Nonetheless, thatā€™s just my opinion on what I would have done - everything is absolutely mesmerizing how itā€™s cut together in your edit. Love that dogfight from episode 5 sprinkled between 4 and 7!

Great work. Looking forward to watching your season 2 edit!

About your post quoted above, I wouldnā€™t mess with your edit just to add Tattooine. I donā€™t think meeting Fennec this early has any impact whatsoever in her scenes in season 2, nor how she and Bobba meet moving forward. But if you really would like to move forward with this, I think option 1 is the best, if not even cutting episode 4 altogether and just introducing Cara Dune in 7 after the wrestle in the cantina. We donā€™t really need to know her previous to that - but I do think the film will seem less structured and more stitched together that way.

Anyway, those are just my two cents!

The added ā€œMoff Gideonā€ line given to Bo Katan still sounds rough. Can you pitch shift it down a few percent?

Iā€™ve totally changed that scene now and it sounds much better. Iā€™ll post a clip when itā€™s completed.

Hey! Loved your Season 1 cut, near flawless on my opinion, howā€™s the season 2 cut going?
