I personally think you should have the spreadsheet in chronological order. Having to scroll back and forth creates unnecessary confusion. The checklist you organized makes it abundantly clear what your recommendations are.

My personal preference was to watch your recommended edits and bypass the Citadel arc. However, the checklist is makes it clear that it is outside of your recommended viewing.

Is there a reason why more edits do not place Luke on Dagobah at the beginning of the movie? The opening crawl would need to be changed to indicate Luke was training along with cutting out his line about coming back to complete the training.

It seems illogical that Luke’s skills as a Jedi would improve without any additional training. I also found it hard to believe that Yoda would completely flip flop on his insistence of Luke to complete his training to all of sudden going with, “never mind everything I previously told you.”

I also find it stupefying that Luke would decide to take off while the rebel alliance is on the verge of their final battle.

Am I confused or was the latest version of Book 4 completed?

Anyway, I want to say that Book 2 was your biggest source of improvement in large part because you trimmed a bit more excess from the Boba Fett content. You also managed to make Boba appear much closer to the hardcore bounty hunter that he originally was as opposed to being a bit sad and pathetic. I really hated seeing him abused and dragged around by the sand people. That was an attrocious way to treat his character.

It hurts to say that. I was really looking forward to that show hoping it would add tremendous depth to an interesting character we saw very little of in the OT.

I will stop my brief rant there so this thread does not get sidetracked. Keep up the good work.

For my AOTC edit I’d really like to include something like this (made by snooker) for Anakin’s nightmare

This is a very fascinating concept. However, I think having him face Vader may be too on the nose. Could Vader be replaced with a shadowy-hooded figure that the audience could interpret as Sidious? I am not personally sure, but I really like the idea of Anakin confronting some form of a “demon.”

I would like a link for Book 3 at your earliest convenience.

I must say Acbagel, you must really be a glutton for punishment to draft that entire post on your phone. 😃

Hi g00b. Is there a way to change the pitch of the voice to make it sound deeper? I hope this makes sense.

I think deeper sounding voices come across as more ominous.

This is great news that this project is revived along with your reinvigorated passion for Star Wars. In light of this edit meant to be as a prequel bridge, will there be any changes in that regard?

I have some suggestions that may or may not assist.

Some minor ideas:

• Remove the Kenobi line about not owning a droid.
• Remove the word “ancient” in the line to Vader about him practicing an “ancient” religion.
• Remove the hints of incest romance between Luke and Leia:
  .Remove Luke referring to Leia as beautiful when he sees her hologram.
  . Possibly remove her kiss on his cheek in the Death Star.
  . Remove Luke asking Han about what he thinks of Leia.

Other ideas:

• Some edits remove 3P0’s reference to a “princess” when stating there is no escape.
• For better pacing, remove the cheesy situation where 3P0 and R2 magically dodge the blasters.
• Remove the cheesy shot of Chewbacca growling at the mouse droid. This also helps with pacing.

Vader:

To boost Vader’s character in the movie, I liked an idea G&Gfan will be incorporating into his own edit. He plans to remove any suggestion of Vader’s inferiority to Tarkin. I believe the first moment is when Tarkin orders Vader to stop the force choke. The next instance would be Leia’s insult when she says Tarkin is holding Vader’s leash.

The editor G&GFan plans to add a new scene with Vader and Sidious discussing the death of Kenobi, but as of now I do not know how that looks like or if it really fits into the movie.

One way or another, I appreciate the hard work you and other editors put into this. Great work is being done here.

Anybody who is satisfied with their work. If you are willing to consider it, for example.

If there are people interested in it, yes I’d be happy to share a finished clip.

I am one that is interested for sure.

Thank you for posting this. Awesome stuff here. I also hope he modifies the emperor’s dialogue. Sidious telling Vader to let go of his feelings was in complete contradiction to how the Sith function.

I would also like a link for Book 2 as well.

Your Book 1 was an excellent improvement over the previous version, which was also very good in its own right. Wonderful work done here.

Phase3 said:

Fantastic! Please let us all know when it’s ready!
Will you be making a separate audio track available, that we can add into our copies of the edit?

Are you planning on making OT edits?

Welcome to this community.

There is a lot of interesting edits here. I do have some brief comments:

Episode 1 -

1. In the Greedo scene, I recommend cutting out the portion with subtitles where the name Greedo is mentioned. That solves the problem of shrinking the universe. I also like it included because it gives us an early look at Anakin’s dark side.

2. It May not be much, but the Bobson Dugnutt expanded edition has a few extra seconds of the duel with Maul that you may consider adding in.

Episode 4 -

I like incorporating the Morrison voice and deleted Biggs scene.

Episode 5 -

Halo9000 used the Battlefront Morrison voice in his ESB edit. You could take a look at it to prevent duplicate efforts.

I would like a link to Book 1 when you have the opportunity.

I am also just speculating, but the content of Books 6 and 7 are to be determined based upon the current season, correct?

I do also note some of the current season will be incorporated into Book 5 unless I misread your prior posts.

I agree with WitchDR that the last picture appears as the best for what you are trying to accomplish the Reckoning title.

In between the first 2, I personally like the first one better. I like Andor looking away by himself in a confined space. It comes across as ominous with a sense of hopelessness to me. That image would be better suited if you were looking for a sense of dread.

I think Obi-Wan being harsh to Anakin is good set up for Anakin’s whiny behavior about him throughout the movie, actually. But that is mostly edited out in an edit such as Hal’s. So your version would work best in an edit that follows his approach, for sure.

Does anybody have any plans on incorporating this in an edit? I know Bobson expressed interest in creating an AOTC ultra-extended edition (can’t wait for that!).

The user Phase3 is planning to incorporate it into his ‘streamlined’ edit. He has mentioned on the fanedit forums that he was almost done with the edit. He is more active there.

I also agree that removing Kenobi’s excess hostility fits in better with most edits of the movie as well.

I almost forgot to leave a review of this.

While the other Andor edits vastly improve an already good show, I feel this one was as close to perfection as you can get.

The editor effectively and smoothly cut out everything I felt that really dragged the show down. More specifically, this comprised of cutting out nearly all the petty family squabbles. From the removal of Cyril’s mother, Senator Mothma’s bickering with her daughter and husband, and the removal of the [forgot name] imperial officer acting aggressively towards his son on Aldhani - these were all necessary to have the show move at a faster pace and also treat these characters with more respect. The family feuds diminished their characters and felt out of place for a Star Wars show as opposed to a soap opera.

My favorite part of this edit was the climactic ending. Closing with the meteor shower followed by the exhange between Lutyens and Mothma about whether he went too far was a really nice touch.

I am looking forward to episode 2 whenever it is released.

Do you have any plans for additional changes to the dialogue other than those previously discussed?

The recolored ones you posted definitely look sharper. To my eyes, the difference is most clear in the 3rd comparison. In the 2nd photo you can definitely see the change in the lightsaber.

Out of curiosity, do you know if the 4k files will be substantially larger or somewhat close in size to the versions you already released?

RELEASED - S00E00b - Prologue: Life and Death (Ahsoka) (v2.0)

Just FYI: This prologue episode does not start until the 3:42 mark. You get a black silent screen until then.

Eddie, we are going to have to pour water on you because you are on fire!

[That will be the last corny joke of the day.]

In all seriousness,thanks for giving us more of Ahsoka. A truly great character who I hope will get her justice in the show coming up.

How much of Cyril’s mother do you plan to include in this portion of your edit?

I personally agree with his personal character development, but I felt his mother was easily the worst part of the show whose primary role appeared to diminish his character.

I hope someone with more technical expertise than me can offer some tips.

I am having issues playing the 4k file on my Hisense TV. The file plays perfectly on my phone using VLC player on a Galaxy S20+.

On my TV, through a flash drive, I tried various media players on the Google/Android TV including VLC, MX, kodi, and a few others. I played around with the codec setting on each. I even tried using the TV’s USB player directly.

For each method used, either the audio kept cutting out and/or the framerate was very shaky. I suspect my TV is not compatible, and would have to stick the 1080 MP4 file that is also a bit larger, but still a reasonable size.

N/A duplicate post

I am not 100% sure what exactly you would be looking for, but I believe there are some images in the links below that occur during the prison break and after. I hope there is something here that is helpful.

I apologize in advance if there is an excess of links below.
