So after sadly abandoning my Clone Wars epic following a hardware failure and taking time away from editing, I’ve decided to return to the fold with a series of movies using the post-ROTJ TV shows, presented in 4K.
The plan is to make a single movie edit from each season under the banner of "The New Republic" as follows:
Episode 1: A Vergence in the Force (Mandalorian S1) - to be released Dec 2023
Episode 2: Search for the Jedi (Mandalorian S2) - to be released Jan 2024
Episode 3: TBC (Book of Boba Fett)
Episode 4: TBC (Ahsoka)
Episode 5: TBC (Mandalorian S3)
The aims are:
Under 3h runtime.
Classical Star Wars structure including a modified opening crawl and space pan.
Respecting canon as much as possible.
Focusing on the core plot of each season.
Removing the cringe elements.
Episode 1: A Vergence in the Force.
Runtime 2h43mins
10GB 1080; 40GB 4K (presented as 4GB MKV)
Full List of changes
