KENOBI: A STAR WARS STORY [The Radical "Help Me Obi-Wan Kenobi" Cut]

Anjohan, I do like the piano version concept and the tone you are trying to set. I also agree that it may be a bit risky to mess with such a key scene too much. There are some moments the piano hits (like when it’s under dialogue) where I feel it wouldn’t if it was written for the scene, and so it doesn’t quite work 100% for me. Still it’s very interesting to see it put together this way!

I also have a nitpick and I wonder if it bothered anyone else. In the scene of Vader’s construction, was it strange to anyone else to see Vader’s helmet lowered as one piece? Even in the “previously on” for the first episode we are reminded that in ROTS first the faceplate is attached and then the dome “cap” is lowered to finish the seal. This also matches how we see it in ROTJ. This careful assembly made it seem more realistic somehow, like it was designed with great care to not damage the remains of Anakin’s head.

Seeing it lowered as one piece kind of made it look like a Halloween costume to me. Is this just me? (Sorry if it’s already been mentioned and I missed it)

When Kenobi seemingly runs right back into the same area because of the faulty left/right relationship of the camera, it almost appears as a comedy sketch where he runs back into the scene “oopsies, forgot my lightsaber!”

OMG thanks for pointing this out. There were so many little moments like this that made me chuckle.

It did feel like they didn’t have much of a set built and thought they could just work with a few mounds of sand and add the rest in post. Like you said, though, some of these things can be fixed by something by as simple as flopping a shot.

Both Nev’s TFA Starlight and Poppa’s TLJ Rekindled leant into the Palpatine angle, adding hints and forward references, but that makes them less suitable to precede a TROS Nobody finale.

Probably TFA Legendary, but I’m less familiar with TLJ edits.

Hey Eddie! There’s actually two versions of Rekindled V3, one with the Palpatine teases and one without. The ‘without’ version should make for a smooth transition to the ‘Rey Nobody’ TROS.

Also, I don’t actually have a fixed version of that one shot from poppa. If he does send me one I’ll use it but otherwise I’m not bothered by it.

Yeah I’ve fallen behind with work and everything, but I’ll try to get on that color fix soon. If you don’t have it before you’re about to render a master file, ping me one more time and I’ll get it done!

Thanks to the kindness of user KetchupGore, we now have a German audio track as well as supplementary German subtitles for the deleted scenes and title crawl (just the parts not covered in the audio).

The audio is in DTSHD and can be found along with the SRT file on the drive.
Note: This is only for the Palpatine version.

Thank you KetchupGore for your generosity!
