Love it.

If you’re starting Episode I mid-podrace then you could have the crawl establish that Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan specifically came to Tatooine to check in on reports of a force-sensitive child.

Would people like to see the Anakin & Obi-Wan sparring sequence as a whole in the beginning of the film, as a memory when Obi-Wan is dreaming, before later showing up again in the way it is presented in EP 5 (apart from cuts and trims)?

The reason I ask is because introducing it as a happy memory, for instance BEFORE the bad memories/flashback nightmare sequence, could start the film with a kind of realization that those happy times are definitively over, and also have Anakin’s death (sort of) kind of looming even harder over the overall film. Not to mention it is impactful to have the seeds of Anakin’s arrogance re-planted before “EP 5 happens”.

The downside and the counter-arguement is of course that the viewer might feel less impacted by the flashback, and perhaps the film starts on one too many of them.

Share your views - I would be very interested to hear them.

I’d love to see the AOTC flashback portrayed as Obi-Wan’s dream in the beginning, instead of the re-used footage from the three prequel films. Flashbacks in the fifth episode (and I’d argue that flashbacks being used at all) are wholly unnecessary, and to me breaks the flow of the story.

Obi-Wan’s dream sequence seems to be an excuse to use more footage from the prequels (filler footage). It even shows Anakin in situations that Obi-Wan wasn’t even physically present for (namely young Anakin in the Naboo Starfighter).
You wouldn’t even need to use the entire AOTC flashback as a dream sequence, you’d need just enough footage to illustrate Anakin’s anger and need for victory.

I like this because it also presents it as Obi-Wan reflecting on his training of Anakin. Like he’s fixated on finding the flaws in his approach that led to his fall.

So with the latest episode of Kenobi, is anyone working on deep-faking Anakin in the practice-fight scene with Obi-Wan?

I hope so. The scene felt a little weird with an obviously 40-year-old Hayden Christensen playing 18/19 year-old Anakin. I loved everything else about those sequences so a good deepfake would be amazing to see.

If we can get a good deepfake for Anakin in that new episode of Kenobi it would be a fantastic way to introduce him in AOTC!

SC38 will be mixed in at the end of the film, BUT - with that being said - I will definitely have to do a lot of rotoscoping work because there are many flaws between that footage and the original film. The background lights change intensity and sometimes shades of white all over the place, and the corridor also looks to get bigger as we switch to the SC38 footage. But I’ll have to see when I start work on that.

The video is in 1080 if you download it.

This is easily the best use of Sc38 in the context of ANH I’ve seen. Well done!

That version of the “obi-wan” sounds way more natural now!

An idea if you want to still keep most of part four:

Cut straight from “where’s leia” to the scene where they’re planning to infiltrate the fortress. This cuts out the abrupt and kinda clunky scene of Roken (was that his name?) changing his mind about helping Kenobi.

Video Update

https://streamable.com/uukjme

Tell me if you think this works. I did some re-editing to make the droid save Obi-Wan quicker, as suggested by Acbagel, and then re-structured the line (that i actually had removed from earlier) “The years have made you weak” with a slowed-down and disappoined “Obi-Wan” at the end of it. The purpose is to almost make Vader give up an immediate hunt because he is disappointed - but without it feeling to on the nose with something like “Escape. I will find you” or some clichè line you’ve heard in countless films and series.

I like this but I think you should cut the “obi-wan” out of Vader’s final words there simply ending on “weak”

The Obi-Wan on the end makes it feel very stitched together.

Obviously to make it work some VFX stuff would need to be done with Anakin’s hand but great idea!

I’d love to see this. While I did enjoy the show quite a bit I thought it could be better and a lot of these choices seem like they’d improve what I thought were the weak points.

Could I get a link?

I think the piano works not because it implies Anakin’s sadness over doing this but rather Obi-Wan’s sadness over not being able/willing to stop it.

I’m suprised that there appears to be such momentum behind editing Kenobi, because I’ve found it near flawless so far. Perhaps that’s just a lack of imagination!

I felt like I was the only one on this site who actually was thoroughly enjoying this show. lol

I know I want to do an edit of it myself as a total restructure of the prequel trilogy (AOTC, ROTS, Kenobi) but it seems like most people are wanting to fix the show because they think it’s broken.

ANAKIN RETURNS - IMPERIAL MARCH EXAMPLE:

https://streamable.com/sbzh7g

The version of the Imperial March used here makes this feel super cheesy. If you could find a more horror-esque arrangement of it then I think it would work a lot better.

Edit: saw further down you did another one with the piano version and I LOVE that.

The biggest thing music-wise for me is that when Vader stands up in his throne room we NEED to hear the Imperial March. And possibly while he’s walking down the street murdering people to draw out Kenobi.

Link doesn’t work for me.

Never thought I’d see a Scott The Woz fan edit on here. lol

I would love to watch it!

• The Anakin is alive reveal (why the F does she assume Obi-Wan doesn’t know this? They haven’t talked)

Same way Vader sensed Luke’s feeling & found out about Leia being his daughter? The Third Sister prodded an emotional reaction out of Obi-Wan and capitalized it, not sure this is that big a deal.

Still, I’m excited for this edit. I’m more optimistic then I was with Book of Boba, but only time will tell.

1. But only a handful should know that Anakin is Darth Vader, and It feels weird that this random Sith wannabe sits on this type of knowledge.
2. She knows Obi-Wan Kenobi was his best friend, and to scream Anakin is alive to provoke a reaction felt cheap. But your arguement is good because it is a sort-of canon explanation.

Thank you. I am as well.

She was probably one of the kids at the temple in the order 66 scene. If she was hidden and saw Anakin being addressed by the clones as Vader then she’d know.

KENOBI SPOILERS FOR LITERALLY THE FIRST SCENE BELOW

So I think we could use that Order 66 flashback and imply that the kids that were with that Jedi are the ones Obi-Wan and Yoda are looking at in the aftermath of the temple assault. I was hoping there might be some Order 66 carnage in this so we can cut Anakin killing kids himself (which I’ve always hated) but still have an explanation for the dead padawans.

I was actually toying around with the idea of making Attack of the Clones episode one just like you mentioned with some flashbacks added. Could be dream sequences for Anakin even. There’s a deleted scene of him waking up from a dream while they’re heading to Naboo that could be added to give another flashback even.

But my idea is for the trilogy would be Attack of the Clones E1, Revenge of the Sith E2 and a movie edit of Kenobi as E3.

“From my point of view the Jedi are evil!”

I think this line was put in just to be a parallel to Obi-Wan’s “certain point of view” line from Return of the Jedi.

Yeah like cut the video after standing and have the audio spill into the next shot.

I’d also probably just do several call-ins in a row instead of cutting back and forth between individual people and the whole fleet.

I think the fleet arriving sequence has some weird pacing stuff going on. Maybe instead of letting each shot finish when they’re all checking in have a little overlap between them. Like cut as a character is finishing saying “standing by” instead of after they’ve finished saying it. If that makes sense.

Right now it feels like clips spliced into another scene and I think that could make it feel more organic and part of the same scene.

Hey would I be able to get those cleaned up deleted scenes?

Does anybody have this fan edit?
