I don’t know if this would work great, but you could have it from Grogu’s perspective. The whole battle is unimportant it’s just Grogu reuniting with Mando and calming the rancor.
I know I may be a pain with this aspect, but does it make sense (for now at least) to still make it (The Book of) Boba Fett - Episode I?
We don’t really know yet if they plan the 2nd season. So ot would be off to have only Episode I with nothing to follow.
Then, if someone wanna watch SW in chronological order, we have:
Star Wars Episode VI, then Mandalorian Episode I, Episode II and then Boba Episode I 😄
And after Mando s03, it 'll be Mandalorian Episode I, Episode II, Boba Episode I and again Mando Episode III. So it’s like jumping between episodes of different subserieses. Maybe for now it makes more sense to make this Mando Episode III? Or simply Star wars:The book of boba fett or more like A Star Wars Story thing?Don’t wanna criticise or anything, just sharing some insights about the bigger picture. Who knows, maybe after Ahsoka, it will even make more sense to make all yhos post-RotJ movies Episodes 7,8,9,10 and so on.
Honestly it could just be called The Mandalorian Episode 3: The Book of Boba Fett
Late to seeing this, but I love this idea!
Could I have a link? Thanks!
Out of Darkness
Out of the Shadows isn’t a terrible name if you really want a sentence
That’s a cool idea, the post credit scene felt quite out of place because of the timeline, but to be honest I loved the opening credits because it sets up plot threads such as the photos that Yelana uses to lure Natasha back to the fight. The rest sounds great!
I’ve always thought that this would be a cool supercut, but I haven’t seen any that did this. Somebody should though!
Check out Madman’s Knowlage YouTube or Dewits YouTube. They both have edits like that!
Hey Hal, are you interested in using RogueLeader’s ideas for Kijimi in Ascendant too? About having it be mid-Civil War with people fighting stormtroopers off in the distance?
(Slight deviation from the Dagger discussions, I know.)
I would be interested in some spray paintings of Luke Skywalker on the walls.
Side note: I cannot get over the fact that the official canon explanation for why nobody came to help on Crait was that the First Order cut communication lines. Like, bruh. The whole point of the movie is that everyone was hopeless until Luke shows up.
It’s actually explained well in the book Resistance Reborn by Delilah S Dawson. It seems dumb when randomly referenced in the novelization, but has a lot of emotional implications for Poe, that ROS evidently ignored.
Sounds great!
Having had a bit of a think, I definitely see potential for two versions
Take 1 could be “No Regrets”, which would still include next week’s episode six, while trimming down episode five considerably, maybe lopping off 30 or so minutes
Take 2 could be the more unique one…an edit where the Flag Smashers are largely stopped due to Karlie realising she’s gone too far.
After John kills the Flag Smasher, we follow him through the battle with Sam and Bucky, then his court martial and discharge, but edit out his meeting with the Countessa. Sam visits the former super soldier and there’s the big history lesson/BLM lecture, then the talk with Bucky at Sam’s home, then Sam talking with his sister, then we end the film on him training to be “the next soldier”. End the film here. Post-credits can be Walker forging his own shield (just like the actual mid-credits of episode five) and a bonus post-credit scene of Zemo dancing in the club to George Michael’s “I’m Your Man”…because in THIS version, Zemo isn’t taken into Wakandan custody and escapes
I totally see your point, and obviously this is your edit, but I think that for me the emotional core of this show isn’t resolved. Character arcs are left unfinished except for Sam. We REALLY need to see Bucky apologize for Yori’s sons death. I also like thinking of this in a three act structure. Act 1 is the first two episodes which are easy to rearrange in many different ways. The first half of act 2 could be 3 and 4 if they could be cut down into 45 mins total. John going insane could be the midpoint. Second half of act 2 could be 5 cut down because it has that natural hero downer moment, then the hero decides to fight. Then 6 is the last act. I think this might have been their entire plan for a movie, and then decided they’d do a show instead. That’s just speculation though. I’m really excited to see your edit when it’s done!
This might sound crazy, but with how many animated Justice League movies there are, I wonder if it would be possible to cut together an animated conclusion to the Apokolips story…
I don’t watch the animation, but you could do a silent black and white film with subtitles. That would be pretty cool
My favourite revenge of the sith edit is Hal9000’s labyrinth of evil mostly because it strips the movie of its overfilled story and creates an effective a, b, c, plot that really weaves through. I think that the editing of this movie lost a lot of the charm and drama, and this edit pulls it back in. I love the political rebellion scenes added back in, and the Yoda and Palpatine fight removal.
I feel the therapy and the home life are going to be crucial for the end of the series. I understand the ideas, but what are your ideas for the emotional core of your edit? It’s a cool idea though,
Using Rogue One footage is dumb because it’s very clearly set during the OT. There’s no way to remove all the iconography in a way that would make it plausibly pass off as being in the ST era.
It’s a little rude to just call theyre ideas dumb. Constructive criticism is helpful, but just judging something without giving any alternatives or ideas doesn’t help anytime.
Here’s a clip of the new ending to A STRIKE AT THE HEART (my Holocron Crisis episode), which also now serves as our season one finale, incorporating the very last scene from LIGHTSABER LOST, which is getting downgraded.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GdsdMv-GGFyv8H950c5-vofQBLzLvjHO/view?usp=sharing
See how that feels, and bear in mind that in this episode:
- Anakin lost his lightsaber, causing real risk to the people he needed to protect and the woman he loves
- Ahsoka had her padawan braid taken away before declaring she’d earned it back
- Ahsoka, herself a padawan, nearly died by being thrown out an airlock
That’s amazing!!
I want to preface this. I am not an editor and could never do any of the amazing things done here. I just thought I would throw these ideas to see if anyone wants them. For phase 2 I really like the reordering by NandoVMovies which I posted earlier, with a couple tweaks:
Mid Credits: Odin is revealed as Loki
Post Credits: The Collecter receiving the Aether
Mid Credits: Baby Groot growing and dancing.
Post Credits: The Maximoff twins tease, without shield and hydra reference.
Mid Credits: Absolutely no ideas what to put here.
Post Credits: Thanos putting on the Infinity gauntlet.
Mid Credits: Bucky goes to the Smithsonian.
Post Credits: The ancient one fights Kaicillius
5.Doctor Strange. Take away the opening scene.
Mid Credits: Mordo begins to steal magic.
Post Credits: Mandarin tease.
Mid Credits: All hail the King one shot?
Post Credits: Hank Pym goes to see his prodigy.
Mid Credits: No idea what to put here.
Post Credits: the New Avengers assembled.
Mid Credits: Bucky goes to Wakanda
Post Credits: Spider-Man goes home.
I thought about how I would structure phase 1.
Mid Credits: Steve waking up in 2010
Post Credits: original scene with Nick Fury.
Post Credits: Ivan Vanko building an arc reactor.
Mid credits: Coulson’s one shot.
Post credits: Coulson finding Thor’s hammer.
Post credits: I’m not sure what to put here.
Mid credits: the cat vomiting the Tesseract.
Post Credits: Nick Fury recruiting Dr. Selvig
7. The Avengers
Mid Credits: Shwarma
Post credits: Thanos tease
I have multiple reasons I think this ordering would be effective;
The focus of phase 1 should be the Tesseract. Introduced in Captain America, it would return in Captain Marvel. In the Avengers the other heroes deal with it too.
Coulson’s journey. His sacrifice is very important to the formation of the Avengers, and I think should be highlighted throughout. In iron man we meet him as a government agent. In Iron Man 2 his competency is shown and he gains more character. In Thor we see his heart and his inert goodness. Then, we travel back to the 90’s where we see his goodness displayed once again, and we learn why Fury trusts him. His sacrifice is more effective this way I think.
As many have said, the Incredible Hulk is a better movie when placed after the first Captain America movie. It shows what they were trying to create, a new Captain America.
Those are just a few ideas.
I’m just running through my first cut of the season 2 edit, and the one thing that keeps nagging me is a desire to put the Tattooine episode into this fanedit. I just feel that seeing how Fennic and Boba came together is important. Not necessarily for the Mandalorian, but for the Book of Boba Fett which seems like it will run alongside the Mandalorian.
I suppose there are four ways of doing this.
- Cut the village scenes completely and when Mando says “looks like this planet is taken” transition wipe to the Razorcrest in space. This would keep the current 2.5 hour run time.
- Keep the village scenes but cut the walker battle, giving a 2.75 hour runtime.
- Keep all the village scenes and have a 3 hour runtime.
- Produce two 2-hour movies for season 1 by including the initial Nevarro trip and Jawas and ending episode 1 as Mando escapes Nevarro with the child.
What are people’s thoughts?
I have an idea that may be interesting to at least think about;
The first movie could be the first three chapters up to Grogu being handed to the client. After that the sixth episode could be inserted as mando reckoning with his past and what he wants his future to be. The scene with the Twilek prisoner has a whole new meaning in this circumstance. After dropping the Twilek he could leave to save grogu. This keeps the first movie sort of small scale, and lets the sequels build it up.
Sound interesting! This video has some interesting ideas that would work with some small edits. It’s worth watching,

Another idea I had was to move Steve’s voice message to Infinity War, so that the resolution is a bit more connected. If someone can imitate Friday’s AI voice, you could have some clips where Friday tells Tony that there is a voicemail from Steve.
He could ignore it the whole movie, and then you could play it after Peter dies on titan. Just an idea.
I’d also love a link!
Could I have a link please?
I there is any chance of receiving these edits, I would love to watch them.
I really like this! I love the version we got in the theatres, but this really works! I think something to add is an element of TROS with the Sith transfer. Since Sidious didn’t kill Snoke, all of the Sith could live in him. Then once Kylo had killed him, he could go into a degenerative state and slowly become unredeemable. The Rey could destroy ‘all the Sith.’ Thanks!
Hi! I have been watching this project and it’s predecessor for a while from the shadows. I think that if a voice actor could be found, the first act of the movie could flow like this; chapter 9 opening, replace the tatooine line with trask, or mon calamari. Then cut to an establishing shot of trask, and go on from the restaurant scene. You could then cut out any boba Fett stuff from the rest of the season and focus on the main story. I think this would work well for establishing what I think don’s arc in the season will be. Thanks!
