I think my main feedback for the Familial Bonding episode is the jump between ending the Fighter Flight arc (which I like as is by the way) and moving into the Phantom scene is a bit jumpy. That’s where the episodes naturally break, but I don’t know if there’s some transitional shots that can be recovered from somewhere to link the two by showing the Phantom being launched or something in between? Maybe some kind of “onto the next mission” voice over?

The only other part I feel is jumpy is the very beginning of the first episode cutting to Ezra on the rooftop, although I’m not sure what/if anything can be done about that.

Overall I think you’ve done fantastic work g00b, I hope I don’t come across overly critical. I’m looking forward to each V4 episode as they come out.

Thanks for the feedback Daiyus! All feedback is welcomed by me. It helps make the edit better and helps me grow as an editor. You also don’t come across overly critical!

I agree that it can jump sometimes (especially these episodes BC Ive essentially cut half of them!) I thought about a bridging scene or something but I couldn’t find anything worthwhile so settled for a wipe. Wipes tend to signal a passage of time in Rebels, so that’s good enough for now I guess.

Ive also changed that cut with Ezra on the roof a few times 😂. Originally, it was a fade but because of cutting I’ve got so little footage there it wasn’t worth it. Eventually and reluctantly, I chose to just have a regular cut so you can see the grand inquisitor.

For both cuts, I’d love any ideas/bridging scene ideas, to use to smooth them out.

Is it feasible to divide this second episode into two parts? The first half (Fighter Flight) is… quite mediocre, to say the least, but the second half (Out of Darkness) is… quite alright IMHO; so it would be nice to not have to go through fifteen minutes of boredom on rewatches.

Also, taking out the part where Zeb and Ezra DO try and fix the ship (just didn’t notice the fuel thing) made things seem… awkward in here, like they were just lazing around and blatantly lied to Hera about having fixed the ship they knew she would be taking down to the planet in a few moments; it’s like they didn’t care she’d potentially die on a defective vessel or something lmao.

Thanks for the feedback! 😃

Originally they were two separate episodes in my edit but both were too short after cuts and thematically share a sense of trust building between crew members. (I’ve thought about cutting them together a bit but Zeb and Ezra need to be on good terms before the second part can begin)

In terms of not showing them fix the Phantom. I took it out because it feels too childish. The exchange I’ve kept with Ezra and Zeb fighting chopper feels enough. My thoughts for adding that scene back in… They still hide the lack of performing a diagnostic to Hera either way. And they still complete repairs either way and send Hera and Sabine off to potential doom. It’s also not the focus of that part of the episode, as once the Ezra and Zeb ark is complete, we switch focus onto Sabine and Hera.

I also feel there’s a sense of implied work, you can see Ezra with a tool but due to the dysfunction you can get a sense it wasn’t done properly. To me, the exchange in my edit doesn’t give a sense of blatant lying.

That being said, I am interested in further feedback on this episode! As it is, I feel it works.

Viewing Notes

Episode is not the most essential to the plot and is one of the weaker episodes overall. It could be skippable. The episode resolves the mistrust between Zeb and Ezra thanks to the first episode and builds some interest into Sabine’s back story. The episode also introduces a plot relevant location. As the Ghost crew have been active before getting Ezra it’s not totally important to be shown the plot relevant location here prior to the later episode.

The new changes in S02E02 - RETRIBUTION (V2.1) all work well and improve the episode imo!

I think Grevious screaming then cutting away to Fisto and the council is a bit clunky (maybe the cut could happen after Dooku’s new dialogue?) Overall, very minor criticism. It also feels a bit out of place to me now that Dooku no longer scolds him. Though it’s not a stretch to interpret it as a war cry.

I think all the new Dooku dialogue is well written and sounds like Dooku. I think it needs some static distortion effects to help it blend in with the original dialogue though. I’d be happy to play around with it if you sent me the raw dialogue audio files.

I’ve got a new plan of action currently. Although I haven’t finished the full 4K release I’ve noticed some fundamental mistakes in how I’ve prepared the Rebels episodes to be edited. These mistakes have resulted in a lower quality visuals then the show (by a small amount but once you notice, you can’t unnoticed it) and stereo audio. (Until a DM I honestly thought Rebels wasn’t in 5.1, so time to fix that!)

To fix this I’m going to create a V4 of this show. I’m hoping this version will become the most complete form of the edit. I’ve also gotten some DMs asking about the differences in versions. Because I haven’t been to on top of posting my full changes, I’ll be trying to change that now and begin posting here with every new episode release with it’s changes from the previous episode.

If I’m going back to reedit the show (again!) what should you expect?

  • 5.1 surround sound.
  • Small file sizes with no visual or audio downgrade.
  • 3 Download options - 1080p, 1080p recolor and 4K recolor. (no need for compressed or uncompressed)
  • Revamped intro cards including the new helmet sequence, further polish on intro text (if required) and an episode name card (not sure why I never put this in).
  • Much smoother transitions between cuts (by editing in 5.1 I’ve given myself more flexibility in audio smoothing). My goal here is to make it so you don’t know anything has been cut!
  • Adjustments and fixes to end credits (if required).
  • Realigned subtitles (for the completed subtitles) and new subtitles (for the uncompleted subtitles).
  • A new 4K version which should be of a higher visual quality.

I’m pretty excited for these changes! If you have any further suggestions please give them to me! I want to make this edit the best version of the show possible and a complete experience to watch through! 😄

Random thought, but I actually like Maul being included other than his eyes. Something about them is too… ghostly I guess? I’d say try a shot with him as the only “real” face if the spooky eyes can be unspooky’d.

Thematically, I’d point out Eddie’s small edit of rebels to tie up Mauls story, plus George wanting Maul to the the big bad of his sequel trilogy, as to why Maul deserves to be in the lineup.

Jedit: oh, as for quality itself. If you told me it was the new faces sequence for new animated show whichever on D+, I’d believe it.

I’ve had a bit of a play around but I can’t get maul to look right. I think I’m quite happy with the sequence as it is now!

I love the concept, but I’m not sure the regular heads are working well - the metallic sheen from the lights makes them a bit too uncanny valley for my tastes on Maul and Ahsoka. It’d be neat to work in some of Ezra’s helmet collection in there, but I imagine that’d be a ton of effort

I wasn’t 100% on the real heads, I’ll make another version without them and see if that’s better hahaha.

It’s far from perfect but I’ve been playing with the idea of making my own custom star wars helmet intro for Rebels Recut.

I’m still working on it but I’d love to get some feedback!

I like what you did, but I found it too dark and hard to see them. I think making it but brighter for those with poor vision like me would help.

I agree!

I’m currently working on getting the lighting brighter, although I’m a blender n00b and that’s what I’ve made this sequence in 😂

I wonder if for Chapter 21 if it could be edited to make Carson holocall instead of travel to coruscant.

With him planet hoping back and forth it kind of removes tension because Nevarro would have been completely destroyed in that time.

It wouldn’t be perfect because he still travels to Mando and Mando then to Nevarro but it would be better in my opinion.

Not sure if it’s possible with the shots you’ve got to work with but thought it was worth putting the idea out there.
