The new and improved cut is now finished and released.

salute Thank you for your service. I already enjoyed your previous cut and I especially look forward to a tighter one that can learn from Season 2’s developments (or lack of developments).

Whether you do continue to do a film 2 or not, thank you for creating a copy of the series that I have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy.

This is a final, workable movie pulled out of what feels like a mismanaged and confused project. Couple of thoughts:

-Sol’s narrative is specific and yet loose at the same time, and the final climactic scene with him works and doesn’t work. He wants absolution and forgiveness so bad he will help start his padawan down the path to the dark side? Obviously this is a failing of the source material, but you’ve done a great job centering the narrative around him

-I think you lean into the narrative idea that all 4 Jedi feel guilty about what happened with the Coven and with Mae, but once we get to the scene that shows the storming of the coven it kind of just falls flat. We’re supposed to go from hunting pacifist Jedi to watching them be murderers but it never quite gets to that part. I wonder if displaying these events more chronologically would give more weight to what Mae is doing and her turn from the dark side but this is also the story that was produced. Sol is the ultimate villain, everyone else was just collateral damage.

-You mentioned an upscaled version, I would be interested in that. The video quality is good, about 7-8/10, but this series uses haze and smoke a lot and I found the bitrate struggling with those effects at times, especially early in the video.

Overall you’ve done a great job, your editing made this series watchable. The length of the series is just so silly considering the story that they are telling.

I’d greatly appreciate a link, looking to re-experience this series in a movie format.
