Thanks, VulgarisMagistralis! I really appreciate this. Have you seen the original show?
You’ve picked out a few of my more radical ideas for this season, so I’m interested to hear others’ thoughts on whether you agree with Vulgaris that I’ve gone too far here. My intention with all of these more broadly was to remove some of that early ‘anthology’ feel and try to have season one feel a bit more cohesive - perhaps I have failed in that and this all feels too fan-edity?
Specific comments:
- On 5, I think this is a necessary evil. The original arc had a very odd structure, where in the first episode the team fail then succeed, becoming “the best team ever”. But then they’re placed on the Rishi moon, which is clearly a lesser posting, but through a few team sacrifices they become Arc Troopers. And then finally they help at Kamino and rejoin the 501st. My intention was to smooth this out - having them fail their training and have the lesser posting at Rishi be a punishment. But THEN, through perserverance and sacrifice, and the success at Kamino, they become Arc Troopers of the 501st in response to all of that. To me, that feels like a smoother three-act structure for them, but I’m interested to know how others feel about how well that lands.
More voices would be appreciated here, if this content is jarring (for the hypothetical first-time viewer) I’ll have to revisit the work.
Having just seen the episode, I think it works fine, until the third act when it suddenly has a time jump to Kamino. I think if you could make a card to show the lapse of time or a montage, then it would work better.
Also I think you should show the part where fives gets his distinguishing handprint on his amour as it’s important important character development for him, especially as he plays an important role in later episodes.
Ah I see. I thought it would fit at around the 8 minute mark quite well, much better than Kenobi, of which a fanedit of that show doesn’t need a flashback. But thanks all the same.
This is exciting. I look forward to its completion.
Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but have you ever considered adding in the scene of the Kenobi series of Anakin and Kenobi duel? I think the few fake could fit well
I’d like a copy but he’s not here anymore
I haven’t told anyone this yet, and nobody’s mentioned it, but when I couldnt’ find real concept art… I cheated 😉
I noticed, but you still did a good job 😅
So far this edit works very well. I have one suggestion though, how about implementing credits like Eddie does with his TCW restructured series, seeing the Ralph Mcquiarie paintings at the end of each episode would be nice.
Also the original episode titles are at the end of the episodes where you’ve changed to a new title, so I think they should be taken out.I do really like this idea yoshif8tures! I’ll do some further thinking on this. I might implement this after I’ve completed my V2 edit for season 2. My Main focus is on the core experience of the show after that I might add more polishing ideas such as this! 😄
Sounds great! I was really impressed with Eddie and how he changed the feel of the series by changing the opening and closing titles, it also really firmly stamps your own name onto it as well. May I suggest a version of the rebellion theme? I am sure there are good versions on youtube. I believe theres an art book for the show too, or you could do the same with eddie and convert certain scenes from the show into an art piece that works well too
I just finished with book 5, and I must say you did an excellent job combining both mandalorians, I especially liked how you tighten up the final battle and removed the child.
One thing I think needs some work, especially if you want him closer to the legends version, is to trim some of his dialog forcing the child to choose.
Luke would never close the door on a student nor forbid attachment, especially since it was his own attachment to his father that redeemed him.
Otherwise it’s great work.
May I have a link to download this please?
Oh that’s awesome that he’ll let you use his new scenes. I look forward to what you achieve.

You should check out this upcoming edit that will redo some VFX

I’ve just updated both of the edits…
The Escape: Episodes 1-4 - 2h (42 minutes trimmed overall)
The Heist: Episodes 5-7 - 1h55m (27 minutes trimmed overall)I was originally going to do this show by arcs, but after watching through these, I feel this flows much better than my original 2 cuts.
But just like every change I’ve made to the episodes so far, these may drastically change by the end. I’m honestly really enjoying the constant challenge each week!
Would love to hear some feedback on these!
Can I get a link please?
Thanks for making this edit, especially one who swore to never watch any version of this film again. You sir have made this the best fanedit this film could possibly be. I very much look forward to seeing the finished film.
After considering it, I can agree with it, and it also gives Fett some personal closure by destroying the Sarlaac.
The movies are a great way to re experience the shows and seeing what you’ve done to make Fett better is really fantastic.
Nice. Living your mandalorian edits so far.
I enjoyed this a lot more, you sir have done a fine job of editing this.
Hello there, this project looks intriguing, especially since this show is rather dull and repetitive upon rewatch due to the issues discussed above.
How far along are you in the editing process? I very much look forward to t.
I just want to say that I’ve been very impressed so far with what you’ve done with this series.
One thing that strikes me as odd though is that at the end of book 2, he goes back to the sarlaac to try to find his armour and ends up on obliterating it.
Not only does this seem silly but over the top, not to mention he should recall he had the armour when he came out?
Anyway, I’m enjoying it a lot so far and it’s excellent.
Finally caught up and while there are some great episodes which explore some deeper themes, they’re largely left alone and the majority of the episodes are filler at best.
I’m sure after the seasons been completed they could be edited into an interesting film.
