Same here. It’s a common issue with all the D+ exclusive content though. A lot of the recordings aren’t perfect quality, and it’s especially noticeable in dark scenes like that firelight scene with Boba and Fennic.
Congratulations! Very much deserved; I hope you win edit of the month.
I’ve been following his work for a few months now. Very exciting stuff!
I really love those choices and can’t wait to check it out too.
I feel like seasons 1-2 worked well in both series and movie format. Book of Boba Fett not so much as a series. Now this disjointed season may push the entire thing over into the “best viewed as a series of films” category.
I’d be interested in this project as well.
Assuming that the Dr Pershing stuff is important going forward, I think that it would have been served better spread across the first three episodes. Granted, I would have probably viewed it as an annoying interruption to the Mando story, but it would have filled out the space between those events snd given the impression that Pershing’s story was taking more than a couple of days to build and resolve.
Interested in your thoughts on this week’s content.
If you had a young Luke profile, you could also make him say his lines sounding less whiny in ANH, unless you think that loses too much of his “charm.”
What role does that leave for the Gungans in the entire film though? I agree that their help isn’t great, but it is kind of the “let’s all work together” message, which would be lost if their battle were removed.
I think it could pass as part of the original.
I feel like the crocodile would have been cooler if they hadn’t already fought the Kryt Dragon in 2x01, which felt more earned and epic. For this reason, I think cutting the croc wouldn’t be much of a loss.
Even shorter: “My mother doesn’t see your darkness. I do.”
Congratulations! I know that I haven’t given feedback for a few months, but I want to join in to affirm your excellent work and major accomplishment.
Regarding future efforts, I’d still really like to see an attempt at making 1x01 a better introduction to our new characters, even if it takes the focus off Anakin and ObiWan slightly. I think there’s a lot of potential with those young Ahsoka scenes from the new short, but also potential by blending in the Assassin episode with Ulani and Ventress as something that happens on the way to the planet, or even by using the Jedi investigating Grievous’ fortress in season 2 as an intro to his character in 1x01 or 1x02, leading into the Malevolence story.
I like having Yavin in the shot, so long as that makes sense to everyone. It helps make the explosion shot unique and not simply “another big explosion in space.”
Could JarJar even mention Dooku as another party who offered to help negotiate peace?
“Galactic REPUBLIC” - it’d be a good opportunity to get that official setting term in there.
I like it.
Any thoughts about making other changes based on that community brainstorming thread, especially regarding the movie start and climax?
I don’t think so. Most of seem to recenter the shown on Mando and Grogu though, having them more of less open and close the series/movie.
How about this (a few slight revisions from Eddie’s text):
The galaxy is in crisis.
Luke Skywalker, the hero who restored the legendary
Jedi Order, has vanished.
Emboldened by his absence,
the evil FIRST ORDER, an
extremist remnant of the
fallen Empire, have
declared that anyone
in league with the Jedi
will be destroyed.
Fearing the influence of
a resurgent Sith, some
New Republic Senators have organized a covert
RESISTANCE, and have sent
their most daring pilot to
meet with a member of a
Jedi cult, seeking any
clue to Luke’s whereabouts
amongst the darkening stars…
Very exciting!
Is a further update of Prisoner next?
I just wanted to drop back into this thread to let you know that I used this edit over the past few months to introduce Tolkien to my 6 year old daughter. We would listen to a chapter of Bluefax’s amazing audiobook and then watch the corresponding part of the movie. It all went over very well, and we wrapped up just this past weekend. The slightly reduced action quotient and fewer departures from the text made this ideal for us. Thank you!
I RECENTLY POSTED A LINK TO MY EDIT OF SEASON 1 OF THE MANDALORIAN ON TWITTER COULD REPOST IF YOU WANT TWITTER HANDLE IS @IamBobaFatt1
Welcome to these forums. If you look around though, you will see that there are at least four Boba Fett edits, each with their own topic thread and initial post that provides a full details of the goals behind the edit and lists the major changes made.
People then message the editor if they are interested in seeing the edit.
If you want to share your work here, I strongly suggest you follow that pattern. You’ll get likely get better responses.
