Stuff with side characters, not related to either Cassian, Mothma, Luthen, or Deidra/Cyril, I was basically skipping. Although I was trying to pay attention if any of it came to major relevance later, and honestly msot of it did not. I think any of the lesser arcs outside of those those characters can be almost entirely cut, outside of where they intersect with the main characters.

The act structure will be tricky, but this can definitely be made into ONE great film.

Although I really enjoyed a lot of the subplots and minor characters, I agree with you that by sticking to the major characters and plotlines, something feeling like an actual film can be achieved. That’s exactly how I approached my edit of season one.

Obviously, tons of footage will have to be cut, but that’s what makes it such a fun challenge. Some people will never be interested in watching season two in an abbreviated form, which I get, but I still believe many people will enjoy the alternate viewing experience of a film trilogy ending with Rogue One. I know I will!

I’d be interested in watching S2 in an abbreviated version! Then I could watch S1, S2, & Rogue One in a single sitting 😉

Judging by the first 3-episodes of S2, you’ve certainly got your work cut out for you with an Andor II 2.5 hour film cut!

Agreed

With the one year time jumps every three episodes is it even going to be possible?

You may have to break the 2.5 hour movie into quarters with the “one year later, BBY…” appearing each time

Not really. The time could be implied like a lot of movies do. Also the first three were so slow, you could easily knock out their plots within 20-30 minutes, make it apart of the 1st act.

True. The third episode of each story arc seems to be the only time something happens. Could almost just use the four of these alone

Hello there!

Judging by the first 3-episodes of S2, you’ve certainly got your work cut out for you with an Andor II 2.5 hour film cut!

Hey Smudger9, please add me to the list of links when you’re completed. Thanks

Any update on ETA for this pls?

I’m still working on it. Free time has been scarce over the last few weeks but I’m confident that I’ll have it ready by the 1st March. Its virtually completed, just some minor audio tidying and sorting out the Lanupa exit.

Just 3 more days!🤞🏻

I have watched dozens of The Seige Of Mandalore edits, & this is one of the best.
Including Battle of the Heroes animation by Hello There Productions was genius!

I don’t think they’re going to send you a link.

They could at least respond to the dude. That’s basic human decency. A simple response really goes a long way in making things feel respectful.

"Don’t get cocky, kid!

I’ve already responded to this user multiple times—on MR Discord, Discord DMs, Reddit, Reddit DMs, several email accounts —and they received the same reply as you:

“Please show proof of an active Disney+ subscription.”

Like you, they failed to provide it, so they don’t get access to my edits.

You’re 60 years old, and Trolling is how you choose to spend your time after being told “No”? Pathetic.

Dude, you must have me confused with somebody else… I DO have a Disney+ subscription, & I am certainty NOT 60yo 🤣

So old you can’t even remember your own BS? 😉

Your email to me after you were banned for trolling. S.G. Scobie: "I joined Discord primarily to watch @MoviesRemastered SW edits, I also subscribed to @MoviesRemastered on YT, Reddit, have a Disney+ subscription (since 2019), & own all SW media available on DVD.

I am 60yo, & have been a SW fan since seeing the original trilogy in cinemas from 1977 to 1983… before you were even born."

Get a grip, Pal. You’re boring!

Not me. But they DO have a Disney+ subscription! Have great life, mate!👋

I’d be glad to take a look today (while you’re sleeping, as I’m in Australia) & get back to you, if you’d kindly DM me the link 😉

That sounds good.

I’d need to watch the scene back, but when the kids are down below arguing, is there a place you might be able to end the scene both before they split up and also before the camera shows the ship up above? Ideally we need to create the impression that the resort dumps their ship down below to be scrapped.

Both derekwkim’s & Zuberas’ edits have handled this well in different ways. Maybe check them out

A couple of lingering questions, which maybe you could work into or work around in the edit:

• What happened to the captain of the Onyx Cinder after he crashed on At-Atan? Maybe he also confronted the Supervisor AI and got killed by it when his true agenda was discovered? Maybe the AI could drop a line that implies this?

• If the Onyx Cinder was originally a native At-Atan ship and that’s why it was allowed through the barrier, who was its captain and what was its purpose? Was the original pirate captain from At-Atan in the first place, or maybe he captured the actual envoy who was supposed to use the ship to travel back and forth? Maybe that’s why the AI recognized Jod as an envoy.

• And again, as has been brought up multiple times now, why does Jod tell the pirates to attack? Wouldn’t a better tactic have been to simply replace the Supervisor and send shipments of credits out to his crew every few months? Could you somehow imply that this was his original plan but that it had been blocked by something, maybe the kids blowing the cover on him or his ship’s actual identity? That way, just like with the kids, he would start out trying to be a friend, but if needed, he would change angles and use fear to get what he wants.

What happened to the captain of the Onyx Cinder was clearly explained—his concubine stabbed him. His corpse was shown on the Onyx Cinder.

Can’t wait to see what you do with this, smudger9!

One random thing that came to me: you might need to reinstate the whole “claimsies” scene, or else Fern taking back SM-33 will make even less sense than it already does. Wild how that scene has more relevance to the plot than any of the parent stuff lmao.

Yes. Claimsies has been added back in. I’ve been going back through the first two and a half episodes and episode 7 to tighten things up as much as possible. I’ll get onto episode 8 on Wednesday and hopefully have the first and last acts finished by the end of the week. Then I’ll work on the mess that is the middle episodes!

One radical option I’ve been considering is having the crew travel straight from the pirate port to skull mountain.

Then the big gun on the roof of the school wouldn’t be explained, as I feel this is going to be a reveal in E8.

The show is particularly dark visually. Do you plan on lighting it at all?

Manufilm Production, styled like Lucasfilm, is the YouTube username of Nuky92. It’s both unique and professional

I dunno, we might need to brainstorm a new line because the delivery needed out of this one is a bit much for AI methinks.

ChatGBT?

Sounds great! I’m excited for these. Maybe consider using Manufilm branding instead of Nuky92.

UPDATED: Just realised this post was 1-year old. Were any of these released?

All right, having thought about it a bit more, here’s what I imagine for the ‘alternate’ set of edits as companions to my main edits.

• Original film titles, same crawls otherwise as main edits (ideally, if possible)

• Not sure whether to reinstate midichlorians! Current canon projects have seemed to dodge explicit mention of them, and even if one needed them for its story they would be probably be introduced there just fine

TPM:

• Reinstate the trip underwater to Otah Gungah and a few scenes that come with it which were only removed due to depending on it

• Reinstate Anakin being stated to be too old to be trained

AOTC:

• Reinstate Yoda with a lightsaber

ROTS:

• Existing alternate stuff about having Padme die would be part of this

• Reinstate youngling murder scene and a few references to it

• Reinstate Yoda vs Sidious and the explicit plan of Yoda and Obi-Wan to assassinate the two Sith (using the AI ‘Your mother once thought as you do’ line in ROTJ will help here)

In order to avoid having THREE versions of Episode III on offer (current/main version, alternate version, alternate stuff described above but Padme still lives on Alderaan), I could simply reinstate the youngling stuff into the main version as an update and have the fully alternate version in which Padme dies and Yoda fights Sidious.

Or, we could really just legitimately offer three cuts of Episode III to fit with anyone’s taste on these points:

• Padme lives, Yoda does not fight Sidious
• Padme dies, Yoda fights Sidious
• Padme lives, Yoda fights Sidious

All three would feature youngling murder, for the reason that a major canon project closely tied to the Skywalker Saga (The Kenobi show) makes central use of this story point.

Thoughts? Outrage?

Could you possibly use AI dubbing to change “midichlorians” to “m-count”, as that’s the terminology used in the shows?

Wow, I didn’t think it was possible to edit a 12x 1-hour episode series successfully into a 2.5-hour movie, but you did it!
In addition to this, your edits are extremely professional (opening crawl, prologue, closing credits, sound, colour grading). Your edit emphasises that Cassian is the main character. You need to work your magic on Solo - A Star Wars Story next!

That’s very George Lucas of you. So perhaps you should title them “[Special Editions]”. FYI, I think they’re great as is!

What a solid Star Wars episode! However, you could probably cut most of the goofy first half of arriving at Skull Ridge Mountain. The “spa” all felt too much like earth & Canto Bight.

Sounds good Smudger!

Looks like E4 could be 90% cut, so you’d save some time there with reducing the runtime.
