The giant fish in the middle of the desert makes 0 sense to me. If this is a supposed remnant of ancient Tatooine’s oceans it’s absurd that it would remain intact as a skeleton , let alone with fresh meat!

I would assume that it’s inside had been persevered for who knows how long, plus “alien” meat might last longer than ours. Gonna have to ask the space whalers about that one.

And thanks for sharing that, paja! I actually did the exact same edit way back when I did my rough ROTJ edit, but your version looks much better than what I did! The great thing about this is that it could be placed in the film where that deleted scene is meant to go, but you could add the shot of the x-wing leaving dagobah from ESB, and then cut to 3PO and R2 approaching the palace. So the film barely changes but explicitly shows Luke has been on dagobah. Or it could worth with all of the dagobah stuff at the beginning of the film, too.

Do you think you could do the whole shot like this paja or is this just a proof of concept?

Thank you Rogue I deeply appreciate your response. Proof of concept for the moment though once I upgrade my specs I’d be happy to do finish up the shots.

Also btw if anyone has the majority of deleted scenes upscaled to 2K or higher I would like to know! 😃

Not perfect by any means though an attempt. Tried reinserting a cut shot of Luke from one of the ROTJ trailers into the film.

Cleaned up some dirt from the original footage and masked the lightsaber. Would most possibly be more seamless if I were to denoise, regrain plus maybe some upscaling, but for the moment this is a work in progress.

If anyone wants the uncompressed video of the endeavour DM me.

The Mandalorian Season 3: Prelude (TBobf)
Time

Finding a way to digest The Mandalorian’s current adventures without ping ponging between shows? Well here’s you go!

-Replaced TBOBF title card with Season Two’s
-TBOBF chapter card changed with '̶C̶h̶a̶p̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶1̶6̶.̶5̶ ̶-̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶R̶e̶t̶u̶r̶n̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶M̶a̶n̶d̶a̶l̶o̶r̶i̶a̶n̶’̶ The Mandalorian Season 3: Prelude (TBobf)
-Trimmed starfighter repair
-Trimmed Din’s test drive
-Replaced Din’s line “Let’s see what she’s got” with “I’ve got to meet up with a little friend” from later in the episode, then accelerates to above the atmosphere
-Wipe from the starfighter flying around the Starcruiser to Luke’s academy
-Removed all but one of the ‘Luke and Grou’ scenes
-Din hands the Chain mail to Ahsoka and then ends with a shot of Grogu reaching out for the starfighter. An attempt to leave the ending ambiguous before Season 3
-Replaced outro music with Mandaloian’s
-Altered end credits to display what’s seen in the episode

If anyone has questions I’d like to know!

Recutting TBOBF Chs. 5-7 into The Mandalorian Season 3's prologue?
Time

Trying to come up with a way to view Mando’s latest adventures without ping ponging between shows…

Editing Chapters five and six isn’t much as an issue as Chapter 7 wheres it’s sole focus is Boba protecting Tatooine from the pikes. Currently scratching my brain around removing the majority of the subplot without seeming jarring.

Any ideas?

Inspired by the members of tangelo1023, Darth_Zounds, Jar Jar Bricks, CaptainFaraday and alike.

To start off…

Ideas for a radical Dark Lord Trilogy edit. (Labyrinth of Evil by James Luceno, Revenge of The Sith by Matthew Stover, Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, by James Luceno)

  • Move character introductions from ROTS to LOE.
  • Trim the monologue of Count Dooku being a racist to aliens from ROTS but keep his vision of a Sith Army.
  • Rework Padme into being a stronger character.
  • Trim down the chase of Obi-Wan and Grievous from ROTS.
  • Remove the majority of the non Vader scenes from Dark Lord.
