DM NFBisms on Fanedit if you’re a brand new member here! They’re very responsive, and the edit is excellent.

I agree with some suggestions by fellow commenters and don’t quite agree with others, but I’ll try to be concise with what I feel would be valuable for any future fan edits in the community:

1. After the end of Andor season two, the Ring of Kafrene scene feels like the appropriate opening sequence for Rogue.

Agreed. The time jump needs explanation, esspeicially for folks who haven’t watched RO yet.

2. Cassian is unfortunately a supporting character in the film. I believe the best way to affirm his co-lead status and to restructure Rogue as a continuation of Andor would be to create a Jyn centric episode, in the style of Kleya’s in 210, opening with Krennic approaching Lah’mu in the past and ending with Galen’s death in the present. This could be as simple as incorporating the flashbacks into “Stardust” rather than “Jedha.”

Interesting idea. I’m not sure that there is enough material to get a Jyn centric episode, though.

3. This may be controversial, but while Shamook has done great work at Lucasfilm, and the deepfakes do better resemble Cushing and Fisher, I find the Tarkin deepfake almost completely expressionless. Certainly, the original CG is over-expressive and zombie-like, but the eyes of the CG model alone feel more “alive” to me.

Both are flawed, but Deepfake wins for me.

4. Another controversial opinion: I have no problem believing that the paranoid, rhydo-huffing Saw would use a creature like Bor Gullet and I think Whitaker’s performance is delicious.

Please no Bor Gullet 😉

5. I think Krennic and Vader has to stay in, if only because Krennic needs to be seen as much as possible and Mendehlson is incredible. I’m also simply a fan of “Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Director.”

Love the edit the way it is. Not just because the scene is fan service, but more so because Vader uses the Force. And up until this point there is no clear force usage in Andor / Rogue One. Of course Chirrut uses the Force but that’s stuff which could be explained by skill and belief.
If you’re new to Star Wars and start by watching Andor / RO before the OT, you get slightly more immersed into the concept, just like we did when we watched Luke training.

6. Absolutely believe that the Vader/Leia sequence belongs post-credits to parallel Andor season one’s post-credits.

The question here being: How do you make the transition, now that we are able to reorder or cut scenes? The “official” order feels stupid and repeating.

I just watched the three episodes. Nearly flawless work. The Andor score works great. The removal of some scenes and the breakdown in three episodes helps to follow the complicated plot.

Fantastic, I had the same thoughts about altering the timeline.

After seeing that it leads to nothing I would remove all his heritage complete with the flashbacks to his sister, letting him be a wealthy tourist where he is captured and brought to Narkina.

Anyway, I would love to get a link!

Here is Fallen Order with a net runtime of 111 minutes.

Seems strange to see Vader killing everyone then having prisoners marched by. Possible but just feels weird.

That’s what I meant with “different tonality”.

What’s the solution? Omit Vader’s killing spree?

I’m not sure how we get from Scariff to Tatooine.

I haven’t thought about that. But is it a major “plot hole”? The rescue capsule could be traveling through space…

Unfortunately it seems to be blocked by Fox.

Yes, I will upload again to this folder https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fqv3lt5spdUSuNlxpuhqHZTY9jnlNCa-?usp=drive_link

I know that there are several attempts already out there that try to bridge the end of Rogue One to the beginning of A New Hope - I found them all lacking.

I wanted a seamless experience while preserving the bad ass fight scene with Vader in the dark hallway. Not easy, because the tone of the two films is different.

Anyway, here’s my attempt with the restructuring of scenes. Let me know what you think.

Wow… Nice work…

Thank you very much.

Sounds great!

Hi there Humby, did you get a version finished?

Since I’m not a gamer, I almost missed this one. A shame, it has quite a good story in it.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5691474/

I liked it so much, I made a trimmed down and restructured version of it for you to see.
The pacing is not ideal, but given the source material is the best I could do.

Since movies are becoming more like games (TROS, Mandalorian), the games become more like movies, I guess.

Before you ask, yes, it’s offical canon.

It’s my first attempt at this, so don’t be shy and tell me what’s all wrong 😉

I have Vader Inmortal on my Watch List. So far I know of 3 episodes.

I recently published my Fanedit of Jedi Fallen Order, in case you are interested.
https://youtu.be/fo78YCxnDj0

Here are all cutscenes so far (Episode I - III): https://youtu.be/bHnpU3m-R0M

Do you have anything to look at, yet?

Has anybody already attempted to do a movie out of Clone Wars (TV Series), Clone Wars (Movie) & Rebels (TV Series), centered around Ahsoka Tano?

That’s why I said in the first 6 episodes.

I agree but is there room (or is it even needed) anywhere in the 6 movies ? What I mean is that the PT is the first movement, the initial error (the fact the Jedi are failling is the heart of Episode III; Dooku explains it in a few Episode II dialogues; we even see the Jedi Council more interested by politics than by mystical propheties in Episode I => so it’s pretty obvious during the PT that the Jedi Order is wrong, but the main protagonists just don’t admit it… or not in a clear way, except for Palpatine in a few scenes as well); the OT is the second movement, the error being corrected; the third (and last ?) movement is the ST, which tries to synthetize that. I get what you want to do, but I don’t think you can add it into the narratives of the OH (Original Hexalogy) further.

I like that thinking, but waiting 8 movies (with a combined runtime of ?) for some “synthetizing” seems pretty long, don’t you think?
One heavily critized point about the Prequels was indeed that Anakin falls way too fast and unbelievably easy to the Dark Side. The Clone Wars Series makes the best it can to smoothen this, but the PT on its own is lacking definetly. I think the linked YouTube video makes a pretty good case of the downfall, but this is not what was shown (or even intended to be shown?) in the PT.

At one point in TLJ Luke does aknowledge what happened

Exactly. That’s why I said in the first 6 episodes. Especially TLJ has a lot of “grey areas” and admitting of failure (which is also why I think a lot of fans don’t like it).

What always bugged me about the Star Wars universe (and I’m a huge fan) is the almost complete rendering in black and white in the first 6 movies: Jedi, the Republic, the Rebels are good, the Empire & the Sith are bad.

And yet we don’t get enough background or context why this is the way it is. Where do we see suffering brought from the Empire (we got the exploding Alderaan, but we don’t care about anybody on that planet bc we don’t know them)?
This thought is articulated here: http://www.weeklystandard.com/the-case-for-the-empire/article/2540

One the other side we don’t see the Jedi admitting or processing their own guilt in creating Darth Vader. Look at this explanation how Anakin turns not so much because of his personal weakness, but a systematic failure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUPD1w78D5I
Bonus: Article about the failure of the Jedi (not the movie makers!) in worshipping midichlorian counts: http://www.vulture.com/2017/12/star-wars-prequels-midi-chlorians-defense.html

My thought was to restructure the Prequels around this. What do you guys think? Is there even Material (maybe Clone Wars or Rebels voice tracks) that could help?
