I would love a link as well.

It may never be A+ Indy, but I do think we can take it from C Indy to B/B+ Indy and that would be perfectly fine.

Smudger, can I get a link … .always love your stuff.

So this is not compatible with your previous 3rd episode? We have to wait for the updated one to remove the reuniting of Grogu and Djarin?

Have you thought about holding off for Ahoska and connecting all of these as a set a movies not called Mandalorian, but something else that blends them as one connected series?

PM Please

Smudger, can I get a link. Love your work.

I would love a pm so we can start listening to these!

Do you have a video online of just the lightsaber battle? I saw a few cut versions that matched closer to the time of the original, but with the new flourishes and that looked fantastic without being over the top.

Having never seen the show or its other edits before, I just watched this and liked it a lot!

I had only read bad things about the show, but if that’s the case then you did a great job with the source material. It feels like a movie and the pace is just right. Proficiently put together as well.

I did think the audio was a bit muffled, specially at the beginning, and the image is quite soft (I watched the ~7GB upscaled file).

Other than some nitpicking, my main gripes with the cut itself would be:

• The musical score is VERY lacking. Not completely throughout, but in most dramatic and tenseful moments it screams “generic youtube channel epic trailer music”. I wonder how much work would be to rescore the cut with some varied SW music, it’d certainly improve it;

Thanks again for sharing and the work you put into it.

Integration of SW music has rally shown as making the series better.

Have any thoughts on the two kidnappings of Leia? I haven’t seen anyone solve in a reasonable manner yet.

I wrote about that in my OP. Trying out an idea I haven’t seen attempted yet.

What do you mean “reasonable manner”? Do you have an opinion on what you think does and doesn’t work regarding this topic?

I have seen some amazing cuts of both kidnappings, but when both are included it just feels like “didn’t we just do that?” Or I have seen where individuals try and cut both as one and while a great idea, there isn’t enough footage to explain many of the elements (under water base vs street slums.)

Have any thoughts on the two kidnappings of Leia? I haven’t seen anyone solve in a reasonable manner yet.

Spence, I couldn’t find in your notes. How are you taking care of the “two kidnappings” issue?

It’s still there, but the focus of the first kidnapping is now more on it being Kenobi’s call to action. Because less emphasis is placed on the first one, the second one can feel like a bigger moment.

I know a lot of edits are cutting the fortress, but in my opinion that takes away too many important things. The fortress has Reva backstory, some great character moments for Leia and Tala, cool world building, and the pivotal moment where Kenobi reconnects with the Force in full. Plus it creates some logic gaps about the ship being tracked. It all doesn’t quite hold together without it, for me anyway.

The ship Being tracked never bothered me … in a new hope we never see a tracking device being put on.

That is the most minor of my issues with removing the fortress. It’s too damaging to the story and character arcs to lose it. Lots of edits are removing it, I would encourage you to seek those out.

I am def excited and hoping your edit proves me wrong. Episode 4 was just so happy hazard that it was hard to enjoy, but hoping your version cleans that up.

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… 😃

Go watch a new hope, they use 4 dots.

de-aging obi-wan?

Update

V2 is good and fine, but it was reported there’s a slight brightness-like render bug in the conversation with Haja and Obi-Wan. I’ll do a re-render tonight and upload and replace, so that whenever you want to watch the edit again you can have the bugfree version.

Thank you for all your positive feedback, and I’m soon done with the Credits.txt file (im at page 15 of this thread). Hopefully upload soon.

Rendering 1.5 as well?

Have you seen the work of PixelJoker95 on Reddit? You should check it out.

I am planning on adding Pixel Joke’s effects to this for my own personal edit. The stuff he is has planned is unreal.

What scene are you using for an opening crawl?

Did you see my comment Anjohan about how you can see Tala on the elevator?

Yes, I suppose you mean in the corridor as Obi-Wan escape the water, right? If so, there’s not much I can do. I mean, you can’t see it’s Tala for 1, and 2) It’s a huge blink and you miss it moment since the screen is filled with water splashes, shaky cam and fast movement.

I can try to mask her out, but the problem is the insane amount of water in the footage. I’ll see what I can do. It’s luckily nothing that break immersion and I don’t think anyone has spotted her except you (bastard!), but once you see it it can’t be unseen. I’ll see what I can do.

I was thinking you could grab the elevator doors have them close quicker.

I really don’t know which scene you are referring to. Could you give me a timestamp or explain further?

I just deleted v1 knowing v2 was coming. It’s the 2 seconds of take on the right side as Obiwan is running in the elevator and the elevator door is closing while the the water is coming. I was just wondering if the best way to rather than mask out, to mask new sliding elevator doors that cover Tala.
