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

yoshif8tures said:

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? 😃

yoshif8tures said:

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! 😄

yoshif8tures said:

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! 😄

yoshif8tures said:

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? 😃

I now have a format I’m very happy with. I don’t think I’ll modify it further from here! I’ve got an intro I’m much happier with as well as a credits I’m much happier with! Thank you all for your input it’s been amazing! 😄 I’ll be starting to implement my V3 edits across the board! One episode at a time! 😄

Nice. Did you upload the new intro?

Yeah! New intro and new credits 😃 they’re just attached to episodes 1 and 2 of season 1 at this stage (not seperate)

Good suggestions EddieDean and Yoshif8tures! I’m currently uploading my newest attempt. I’d love to hear more thoughts. (I want to get the opening and credits right before I continue! hahaha) Thank everyone again for your input! 😄

I’m rendering another version hahaha! I think this one is much better and addresses the concerns raised previously. (I’ll just release the episode again.) Thank you all for your feedback! You’re all helping me become a much better faneditor! 😄

Unless this is a limitation of the musical score, I feel like the text moves a bit too quickly. Also I agree that the rebel music when the logo pops out is a big ear sore. It’s something I’ve always hated about the show, which I overall really like.

I agree with the start text but it is a limitation of the music I’m using here… so maybe I need to find a different piece. Because of the length I kept in the original logo with score. So maybe while I search (open to options and suggestions) I’ll play around with music that covers the logo aswell!

yoshif8tures said:

it’s an improvement but I still think you need to remove the ear sore that is the rebels music when the logo pops out, much like Eddie did with his series.
How about trying to use the same music as he did and see do it works? I like how he times the epic music perfectly for when the clone wars logo pops and it gives me chills

I think using different music here from Eddie is the right choice for this edit as I don’t want to copy his work. I feel if I use that music I’ll turn from inspiration from Eddie to a copy of Eddie, you know?

yoshif8tures said:

Could you just upload the end and post credits as different samples to see how they work, it would be quicker that reuploading the episodes again.

I did think of that… but I’ve uploaded 3.1 now already hahaha. If I make further changes I’ll do it like that! 😄

yoshif8tures said:

How about this theme from https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0kn1vSxKtsg Jedi fallen order?

I think that works much better and thematically the purpose of the theme fits. Although it’s Cal’s theme, it could symbolize Jedi in the time of the Empire. I’ll be changing the end credits to this. Fits way better then my choice. Thanks Yoshif8tures! I’d love to hear your opinions on the new version! 😃 (once its uploaded)
