I would bring back season 1’s Tatooine episode (The Gunslinger) and merge it with Chapter 9. Introduces Boba and Fennec together. You could then take the beginning of Chapter 10, and do a comedic cut from it being dangerous to the broken down ship in The Heiress, using that episode as your third act. After, you can use the tag from The Seige as if one of the repair guys in that episode informed Gideon.

Film 2 could be The Jedi, The Tragedy, and the final two episodes.

And I still think the Gideon tag from the end of season one should be put at the end of the season 1 film.

I don’t think we need to see Bill Burr’s introduction, just like Lando’s origin wasn’t needed on screen.

Thats probably the best approach for now.

At the moment I don’t need to put in The Gunslinger. I’ve edited out any reference to Mando knowing Fennic and it works. She’s just Boba’s sidekick or hire. Have to see if that still holds true by the end of the season. I’d like to avoid using the Gunslinger if I can because it really drags out the Tatooine stuff and I really don’t like Toro.

Annoyingly, from a film perspective, the best “end” to episode 2 would be the kidnap of the child. It would give it an ESB vibe. However, I’m then not left with enough material for Episode 3.

If you can avoid using the Gunslinger episode, then it’s perfect 👌🏽

Well, I think you should end the 2nd episode with the end of “The Jedi”, less dramatic, but pacing would be better I guess. You can always put the scene from 2x4 at the end 😉

I have no idea what you are gonna do about 2x5,but i think you should include it, in some trimmed version. Apart from being a cool action packed ep, it also revealed a lot of important stuff to the whole story.

Well, in my opinion, if you dont wanna cut all the great stuff, you should divide it into two movies (suposing it Will go like that) :

1st one: Mando’s Journey to find the Jedi. Trimmed 1st ep, some bits of the 2nd ep, Episodes 3,4,5 with some Trimmed moments of course. At the end, it turns out that the protagonist has to follow another path. Maybe as a cliffhanger, or a postcredid scene, you could move the last scene of the 2x4 😉

2nd one: suposing we d get the 2part finale at least, the shorter 1h30movie.

Thats the only Way i can think of when it comes to a movie format of s02. This season is So much better than the 1st one. The first one, i think I ll always prefer to watch your fanedit as a pilot movie, but the second one, damn, i May even rewatch it all again 😯 anyway, waiting to See how you gonna deal with it 💪🏽

Annoyingly I get the feeling there will be about a film and a half worth of material in season 2.

Well, you can always try with 3 shorter movies, doesn’t have to be 2h30 each I guess 😉

I ve been watching your edits since 2015 and I must say you evolved as an editor a lot in terms of cutting the stuff thats not crucial in story-wise terms 😉 I think, just an observation of a viewer of your edids 😅

I really don’t want to mess with Episode 1. It works so well as a 3-act movie, probably the best of all my film edits.

No, I meant 3 shorter movies made out of the 2nd season. Not touching your ep I at all 😉

I think I t’ll be a choice between two 1.5 hour movies and one 2.5+ hour movie.

Go fortwo movies 😀

Yeah, I will be using the metallic Star Wars TV opening, but not the movie opening crawl music because firstly I won’t need that long a piece of music, and secondly because it’s not quite the right tone. Each TV show so far has stood alone and had its own musical identity and I’d like this to do the same- just not a bombastic one.

Thats the perfect approach 😃

Just a random idea, why not use the old CW from 2003 opening title? 😉

Heir to the Empire - animated fan film series adaptation (up on youtube)
Time

Hello guys,

I dunno if you already saw it on YouTube (I didn’t see any thread here dedicated to it), but there’s a guy that has been doing for one year now an animated CGI movie adaptation of the Heir to the Empire.
 

Star Wars: Heir to the Empire - Chapter 1’:-

https://youtu.be/dgRbUd9xil0 - a 7 minute video at the DarthAngelus youtube channel
 

Its actually very good and professionally made. And since the guy made already did like 1/3 of the book, there’s a real chance that this project, unlike many others, will be finished in some time.
Well, the animation is well and professionally done, Rebels lvl I’d say.

I really can’t wait to see it finished cause its amazing.

So, I know I’m slow (sorry, been busy) but 3/5 of the PT subs is finished.
My question would be, do we have any native speaker here that would find some time to take a look (proofread) at it when it’s done? 😉

Hey, i’m brazillian, so if it is PT-BR i could take a look 😃

Ótimo 👌🏽 I ll let you know when it’s finished

So, any chance of seeing the alternative version without the crawl or with a classic SW logo (and no EP number) maybe? 😇😇😇

Absolutely.
However, I’m gonna wait until I’ve finalised my season 2 plan because there are probably some changes to be made to episode 1.

Sounds interesting.
What are you gonna change? 😉

I think its a great idea to use the smudgers I movie. Just one thought, In my opinion you should trim a lot the first act.
well, If I were u Id cut the whole Anakin mission to arrive on Christophis. It ruins the pacing and its Just the most boring part I think 😀
Then, there is the first part of the clone Troopers story, on kamino, which should be drasticaly trimmed. It s Just too cartoonish for me. And pacing wise, it would be better to reduce it drasticaly.

What do you think about that?

For me, at this moment So far, the best aproach is to include most of the 1st ep, the beggining of the 2nd, and then transition to 3rd.for eg. they meet the NT patrol, the mando starts to escape, then some nice transition to him landing with His piece of junk on the water planet. It would suggest the obvious outcome of the meeting with the Xwings 😉 or do a transition from him saying it May go wrong without hyperspace goin, and then we See the wreckage of His ship landing 😅

For me, most of the 1st EP should stay, most of the 2nd should go.
Maybe the transition shouild be from him saying it Will be a trouble to go without hyperspace, to him landing with the crashed space ship? It would be a humorous Way to show he was right, without gettin into details 😅
Im really curious how the season will go, and how structure wise to make it one or 2 movies

So having seen the first episode here are my initial thoughts:

  1. Gammorean fight planet to be cut and the opening crawl used to set the scene.
    (…)
  2. Use Cobb Vanth flashback scene with a couple of shots from Return of the Jedi to open the “crawl-free” version.

1.Please,dont Man 🥺🥺🥺
5. I like the idea, but as well, in the opening crawl free version you could include the Gammorean intro as a set up 😀💪🏽

Anyway, dunno how the plot resolves, but maybe you could use a title of a classic SW book from the old EU. “The Mandalorian Armor” 😉 its always nice to do some nod/fanservice to the Old EU works.

I got tempted and watched the 2x01 😇

I am already wondering how you Will deal with the second season, there maybe more stuff that are more important, necessary and on bigger Scale than in the s01. You May end up with two Episodes this Time 😀

Whatever happens, please, dont cut the first sequence of the episode, cause its brilliant 😀

I’m pretty sure I will need 2 episodes this season. Unfortunately the first scene is already on my cut list. 😃

I’m assuming maybe you will try to blend 1x05 with the first episode of this season? I think you could maybe start the second movie off with them in the middle of hunting down Fennec Shand?

At this point, i dont think mentioning 1x5 even makes sense.
