I’m getting so close I can taste it with this movie. I’m subtitling and polishing the final 20minutes! As an aside the episode variants will take a while to produce as I need to rebuild them from scratch due to losing the project files…
Progress on the final arc movie is going strong. Still working through subtitles and polishing. I’ve most recently redone the SFX for Ruhk’s staff as it wasn’t zappy enough. I’m probably about 2/3’s through my current review, polish and subtitle!
I’ve also been working on my S03E05 update (the colab with AcBagel that lead to the twilight of the apprentice overhaul). I didn’t plan on revisiting this episode so soon but I thought I’d lost my work on it and finding out I didn’t really motivated me to get it finished! This episode is almost ready to go, I’m just waiting on some voice acting and a few other little things.
So in short, I will release another version of these episodes as my next releases haha
Well… I lost my changelog for the final arc… rest assured I changed A LOT! hahaha
Well… good news and bad news. I’ve got my new pc built and it’s awesome but I did end up losing all my project files. It’s no big deal it just means it’ll take a bit longer before I get back to refreshing the S1 finale and S2 episodes. The project is pretty near completion so it shouldn’t be too big of a setback!
Some good has come of my PC dying as I’m now finally replacing it! I’ve been working on this (and all my other projects) off of a computer that was 10 years old when I started 😅 needless to say, I’m excited for a significant upgrade and something that can handle modern editing programs!
The only downside is that I live in the middle of nowhere in Australia… And well, our postal system isn’t quick at the best of times. I’ve got to wait AT LEAST another week for all my parts to arrive.
Do you keep all versions of the files or just the updated ones?
I only hold onto the most current versions. It’d take up too much space if I kept them all! Haha
Hahaha that makes sense. So what versions are you currently/eventually working on?
I’ll be working on the V4 for the final arc. Which even if I lose the project file is fine and will still release with no issues!
After that I’ve got a nearly completed s3 episode to rerelease with brand new animation and new darksaber lore to make this series blend easily into AcBagels the Way of Mandalore edits!
Do you keep all versions of the files or just the updated ones?
I only hold onto the most current versions. It’d take up too much space if I kept them all! Haha
Am I remembering correctly that something similar happened before?
You are remembering correctly… Evidently I did not learn the important lesson to back up files 😂
I’m not sure how much data I’ve lost… But I’m fairly sure I’ve lost my project files 😂
All hope is not lost though as I’m fairly sure I’ll be able to recover them all (I hope).
All was going well until my computer died 😂 either my CPU or Boot drive has failed on me (I’m not sure which yet). I won’t have lost any files… I just can’t edit for a while so there will be a delay on progress ha!
Progress has been slow but steady. As I’m watching through and working on the subtitles, I find things to polish and keep working on 😅 I’ve got the first 50 minutes of this final movie nice and schmik now though!
I think I’m at about the 30 minute mark for the subs currently.
I’m still working on them mate. I’ve recently started a new job that’s been keeping me away from editing time so progress is slow but still continuing. 😃
Here’s a little showcase of how the World Between Worlds is sounding so far 😃
Doesn’t removing the episode Droids in Distress cause a problem with continuity?
I think it’s removal actually helps continuity. That episode makes Kallus an irredeemable monster who ordered a genocide… One that Rebels only dealt with by making him “lie” about that. We still see that Zeb really HATES Kallus and comments that he shouldn’t have the weapon he has (in other episodes) so I actually don’t think we lose anything important believe it or not!
That’s the episode where Zeb finds out agent Kallus has a bo-rifle because he was part of the Lasat massacre.
While this is true, it’s also explored later on in season 2 when they’re both trapped on Geonisis’ moon so it’s not really needed here. In my edit, Zeb obviously hates Kallus, and you can see Kallus has a similar weapon. Its talked about that there aren’t many Lasats. So as the show goes on you get a sense that something horrible happened but don’t have to have it spelled out directly. So again, I don’t think we lose any substance, in fact by cutting this episode I think it improves world building and story telling. 😃
It’s also the episode where Kanan meets Bail Organa, who he later points out meeting before in the season one finale.
That’s right! But seeing them meet Bail isn’t really important. Just like seeing the Rebels meet Lando. They have an history of operation before they get Ezra AND between episodes. So although I cut this meeting, its not important for the story to know HOW they met.
Also, while I know Secret Cargo isn’t the most important episode, it would be cool to still keep now that it has a nice connection to Andor. Plus it shows the different rebel cells finally coming together to form the rebel alliance.
Its connections to Andor are a hindrance now 😂 so the overall story of canon is improved by this episodes exclusion. Why would Mon Mothman not go back with Andor… And instead PUT HERSELF IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION that ALMOST doesn’t go well… Absurd continuity that wasn’t well explained at all 😂 mostly because Rebels just wanted a Mon Mothman cameo episode. While it does show Rebels cells coming together, we do see that all across season 3 and the very beginning of season 4 so I don’t think anything is lost by its exclusion.
Legends of Lasat is also a fan favorite that’s now gone.
Quite frankly, I think the episode sucks. I think it gives Zeb awful characterisation and this episode combined with the epilogue is completely ignored by future projects (Mandoverse). So while there are aspects to enjoy about it. Its a side adventure that has so far never connected to the overall story in anyway.
Maybe you could include a lot of these cut episodes as extra bonus episodes the same way EddieDean has extra episodes in his Clone Wars Refocused edit?
There is the potential I do this, however my main focus at the moment is the core story of the show, not it’s filler episodes 😃
I’m rending out the full version of this second movie to watch and review before getting into subtitles and upscaling! I’m very excited to give it a watch from start to finish haha
My current cut of the final film is 2:01:53 (excluding credits and opening logos). I’m VERY happy with how it’s coming together. Still a while off releasing it but I thought I’d share that I’ve got my first complete cut of the film and that it’s got the perfect runtime (over 2 hours)! hahaha
I’ve still got to adjust the shots for the last 40 or so minutes to the new aspect ratio, upscale, review and do the subtitles 😃
g00b, did you finish working on the subtitles for s04e04 - Wolves and a Door?
Not yet, what I’ll do is finish the movie, subtitle the movie then shift those subtitles into seperate files for the 2 episodes 😃
S04E04 - Wolves and a Door and the first half of the second movie are pretty complete now. I’m holding off on release them (as e04-05-06 and the 2nd movie should release at the same time) but I thought I’d give the update as it’s going well! 😄
I’m currently mixing in extra lines from both star wars Canon and the old EU into the world between worlds. If you have any suggestions, please give them to me! I’m not sure how many will make it in, but I want to really add to the soundscape here. I also think the World Between Worlds is a great place to join both EU and Canon so all star wars fans can feel validated with what they love! 😄
I’ve been wanting to watch Rebels for a while but always found it hard to get into due to the kiddyness of it. This project is super cool and I’d love to check it out! How can I watch it?
Check your PMs
Forgive me if this have been discussed before, but i just say everything that pops into my mind 😃
That’s great! All feedback is useful even if it doesn’t seem like it at first. 😃
Would it be better to have the (Rebels) episode number in the title?
Something like:"Rebels
^ If I went with a number, I’d put it here, like Rebels Episode 2… I’ll think about it but that also means going back and redoing the crawl for my first movie as well (which I don’t have objections to doing).
Episode X.X
SECRET OF THE TEMPLE"(I don’t know if it will fit here, bu I like episodes in Star Wars media!)
Should the Emperor, Pryce and Thrawn be capitalized like KANAN JARRUS?
No… well they can be but it’s not always names that get capitalised it’s just names that can be capitalised 😃
The end of the second paragraph seem a bit clunky to me, but then again - I’m not a native English-user, so perhaps it is my language skills that is lacking. There will be better words to use than in the following example, but maybe something like this?
"the Rebellion struggles
to maintain the cohesion to
retake their beloved home world
Lothal, that is relentlessly
shattered by the Empire .
I feel the slight clunk too… although I’m not sure it’s what your version corrects. Some key things I need to differentiate is that the Rebels on Lothal are split from the Rebels on Yavin now (Which is why I’ve said the Lothal Rebellion) BUT I think I do like your sentence structure better for the last part “that is relentlessly shattered by the Empire.”
Perhaps something like this:
The unrest on Lothal continues.
Despite the destruction of the
Imperial TIE Defender factory,
The Emperor secretly continues
his sinister plans.
Reeling from the death of their
close friend and rebel leader,
Jedi Knight KANAN JARRUS,
the Lothal Rebellion struggles
to maintain the cohesion to
retake their home planet which
is relentlessly being ravaged
by the Empire.
Governor Arihnda Pryce has
seized this unique opportunity
to celebrate with a mandated
parade, in the hopes this will
offset the judgment of Imperial
Grand Admiral Thrawn…
Looking for some help with my next Title crawl. Here the current movie name and my first attempt. I’d love whatever feedback you’ve got for me! 😄

To get some better feedback, I’ve uploaded the crawl and opening scenes of the movie here
And yes… I have spotted the spelling errors in the crawl… The look of the shots and the music isn’t finalised yet. I just thought it’d be good to see the opening scenes after the crawl 😃
I’ll be making a start to the final movie (and last 2 episodes) of season 4 soon. I’ve finally worked out how I want the movie to start. I’ve got some work cut out for me as the only footage I’ve got isn’t usable for the start to a star wars movie so I’m going to have to make it myself. My plan is to have a space pan down onto a new shot of lothal and then mask out the opening shot of show with the star destroyers flying into the cameras view (which I had previously cut but it is a good visual). I’ll then look around for some establishing shots to take us from the planet into either the capital city with the Empire organising the parade or I to the Rebels hideout with Hera morning Kanan still.
I’m excited to get the ball rolling on this last ark as once it’s done, all that I need to do for the series is minor polish!!!
