And that’s all the episodes to V3 standard! I’ll be working on polishing and feedback when I find the time but for now I’ve very happy with how this series has come out! Hope you all enjoy! 😄
I shouldn’t be too far off finishing this project! I’ve just had to recover from a hard drive failure which has only resulted (after some hard work) in me needing to remake the last episode (which I was in the process of anyway). Hoping I’ll be able to finish the project to V3 for all of you soon! 😄
I’ve been finding Bad Batch interested to watch. From what I can tell the show seems to fall flat when trying to explore the characters (which is a shame) but when it’s focused on the changing galaxy and worlds it starts to feel really solid. I think season 2 so far has been cementing that for me as the world building and exploration is fantastic but the character driven moments are a bit lacking.
If you’re still searching for ways to connect with the show I’d recommend cutting more character moments. Especially if they don’t deviate from the bad batch character stereotypes, or if it’s just repeated moments like accepting Omega into the batch. I’d think this would give more focus to the environments and changing galaxy which could hopefully change how you feel about the show (as that’s its major strength in my opinion). 😃
Wow! Just stumbled onto the project! I’ve been wanting to rewatch the show, but it felt a little daunting. The episode count in these edits and the polishing you’ve done sounds like it’ll make for an awesome rewatch for me and a perfect first time watch for my son.
Please PM when you have a chance to share! Thank you!

Hey g00b! I’ve been itching to rewatch rebels—i truly love the characters and story at the heart of it—but the pacing and general tone definitely leave something to be desired. Needless to say this edit seems to address exactly those issues! I’d love a link whenever you come back around. I appreciate the work you’ve put into this!!

My progress on this edit will slow down a bit even though I’m so close to the end! And I may take a bit longer to reply to link requests and feedback! My first child has just been born so I imagine that’ll keep me away from my edit for a while! My focus when I get time will be to finish off the series in V3 then address feedback 😃
Could I please have a link?

I think the darksaber of mandalore episode has to be one of the weakest. All the mandalorians seem flat and one note and Sabines running away and her motives make no sense and apparently she’s some fantastic weapons designer but she’s only a kid? I don’t know if you can trim the dialogue more, but this episode felt the most gamey to me.
I’ll put that on my list to revisit. I’m not sure if much more can be down but I’ll definitely look at it again! 😃
Rebels Recut - S03E01 - Into Shadow - V3 needs a bit more work as the edits between scenes are quite noticable
Thanks Yoshif8tures!
I’ll check that out once I’ve finished my S04E04 episode!
I’d love a link too! 😄
I am very impressed with your edits so far, well done. If you ever plan on tweaking them further, I’d suggest fading to black in your opening and closing credits could be improved, but otherwise its a solid job and I look forward to its completion
Thanks Yoshif8tures! I’m keen to get the V3s finished. Then I’ll take a break from the project. Thanks for the feedback though! I imagine I’ll return to this edit once I’ve made some other edits or gotten some more experience with editing. This is the first time I’ve really attempted anything like this! Hahaha. My V1s we’re my first time using editing software so as I become better in the future I’ll likely be back for further polish!

Just one more season to get to V3! (and corrections and touch ups of previous work if any get pointed out!)
Doing a bit of polish work on Season 1 and 2 before I move onto V3s for season 3 + 4. Want to make the series feel even smoother to watch! 😄 So Keep an eye out, you’ll start to see a few V3.#s
Twilight of the Apprentice is taking a bit longer to get out then my normal. That’s because I have a few audio and visual edits as well as cuts. The cuts that are here are also a bit trickier as I’m trying to find a balance with the lightsaber helicopters.
At this stage I’ve learned towards the wipe as I’ve seen rebels do the same thing (wipe cut mid conversation)
If you could have the audio fade out as it wipes, it might help it feel like her dialogue is meant to “trail on” as opposed to it just ending in the middle.
I see what you mean sirLegion13! I’ll be revisiting and fixing up this episode. Sometimes I make some strange choices while editing hahaha
Okay, just wanted you to know.
I’ve also noticed several grammatical errors or typos in your openings. I’d be willing to help with those if you’d like.
I was waiting for this! Hahaha! Can you PM them to me so I can fix them up? 😃
There’s a bad transition in s01e02 where you cut right as Sabine was talking
I know the one you’re talking about! The dialogue there was pretty bad and unnecessary and I needed a time jump… So I’m still undecided what to do. If I have a clean cut the story will suddenly jump forward but if I keep the wipe it helps signify time passing but you can tell Sabine was still talking…
At this stage I’ve learned towards the wipe as I’ve seen rebels do the same thing (wipe cut mid conversation)
I’ll have another revisit to the episode though. See if I can’t clean it up some more!

I grew up with the OT. I was roughly six years old when I saw Empire in theatres. My friends and I saw Jedi several times the summer it opened, any time us farm kids could get a parent to gather us up from our farms and drive us into the city to one of the theatres showing it. It took a long time for me to appreciate these films, especially Empire, which I have come to believe is one of the greatest fantasy epics ever to hit the screen. Needless to say, disappointment has come to dominate my feelings regarding the latest Star Wars offerings on the big and small screen. I don’t think I’ll even bother to watch another disney SW movie again. Before Andor, I was certain I’d never care about another TV series, but the quality of this show has renewed my interest. Now I’m thinking I’d like to go back and watch Rebels. I was hoping to come across a fan edit that sharpened the story and trimmed a lot of the childish nonsense. Anyone who has seen a fan edit, or more than one, of the Rebels series and would be willing to recommend one to me, please let me know which I should check out.
It depends on what you’re looking for Hans-olo! I wouldn’t go into star wars Rebels expecting Andor levels of quality! Rebels still is a much lighter and kid friendly story (even when you take out a lot of the more childish elements) but if you ask me it still has a star wars feel to its core. If you’d like to experience most of the show at its best I’d recommend my edit (but that doesn’t mean it’s the best edit or the most enjoyable, just that I have used the most content so far to my knowledge hahaha). I know there are a lot of movie style edits out there which are much shorter then what I’ve done that give you the core story (which is Rebels strength in my opinion).
V3 for season 1 are complete! (at least until someone finds any errors or until further feedback!) I’m moving onto finally polishing up season 2 with some V3s! 😄
just the first one it seems
I’ll have another look! I did have a file corruption so remade the intro quite quickly 😂 so I’ll go back with fresh eyes and smooth it out. Thanks so much for all your help Yoshif8tures! This edit wouldn’t be anywhere near as good without your input and feedback! 😄
I asked an editing friend and he also said you need to smooth out the music transitions so it fades out better.
Is this on episode 1, 2 or both? 😃
