Mando EP3: A New Path (A Book of Boba Fett Edit) [RELEASED]
Time

Hi, I had an opportunity to view EP3: A New Path. Here’s my feedback (please excuse me if what I’ve said has already been discussed, as I didn’t read the thread yet):

Use only three dots … at the end of the opening crawl. You put four… 😃

When you pan over from space to the circular space station you can see what you added artificially panning over from the left (have it gradually get lighter / gradient)

Do not show Boba getting beat up by Jawas.

Trim down even more of the conversation with the mayors assistant as that character is very annoying, and this could improve the runtime.

Avoid showing Boba getting beaten up outside the casino nor him being surrounded for too long by the energy shields as it makes little sense why he didn’t simply fly out of there. 
Tighter editing (show the pig guards coming in right away) can remedy this (worked for me).

Don’t show Boba saying “get me to the bacta pod” - he looks old and weak. Don’t show Fett being taken to his pod like a weak old man.  Just show him laying there chilling out.

Avoid the dialog about the beskar staff as your previous edit did not show how it was acquired.

Don’t show Boba getting slapped in the head during his staff lesson with the Sand Chick

Fenic: “Shall we visit the Mayor” to training session with Mando.   There appears to be a gap in the audio as it goes
silent.  Maybe a musical cue or something needs to be put there.

I noticed this in another place as well.

Don’t show Fett go into the Casino again.   Just fade into the moment he’s stepping out with his helmet on to the sound of the drum beats in the distance as Hutts approach.

You’ll save time, and we’ll see less of Boba with his helmet off. Try giving even less time to the ridiculous Disney mod bikers - and especially any badmouthing of Boba Fett “Old man” etc.

Cut down the silly Mando boarding the space bus and silly interactions on the ship with the baby Greedo.  It’s so dumb he has to disarm himself.  Skip that.   Use some more serious music.

Brilliant reuse of the “will you be loyal to me if you serve me” to Black Kyrsanton.

Thank you for getting rid of the mod bike chase, subplot.

Shorten the big rat vs space ripley scene.  It’s ridiculous.

Shorten the naboo star fighter repair and garage interaction scenes.  Space ripley is annoying.

Is it really necessary to show how Fenic was saved by Boba? At the very least abbreviate that even more.

Good call on cutting out the naboo star fighter test drive being interrupted by new republic

Good call on cutting out the annoying Mayor assistant during final shootout

Good call on cutting Grogu out of the Rancor/Scopion droid brawl

Don’t show Greedo kid on bus waving to Mando.

The ending is a bit weird as Mando is still on the planet. But I guess you’re still working through this. Maybe reusing some footage of Mando taking a nap on the bench next to the temple being built? This way we know he’s still there waiting for a decision to be made by Grogu and Luke in the hut?

Here’s another idea. What if we spread out the Luke/Grogu stuff throughout the movie? It would give a greater sense of time training, etc?

Love this edit. Just speaking my opinions above, just in case there’s anything in there which might be of help. 😃
