My goals for this edit were: To recreate the classical Star Wars movie experience. Full continuity with my previous three movies - some changes will now be made to those edits to line everything up. To focus on the Mandalore plot with Din being the lead character. To remove the large amount of filler in this series. Improve the pacing of the finale. Provide an emotionally satisfying ending. Headlines: 2h 46min runtime Classical Opening Logos, Opening Crawl and Iris-out to End Credits. Dr Pershing, Plazir-15 and Foundling Rescue plots have all been removed. Removal of many of the creature attacks. The 2-part finale has been heavily edited and restructured to improve pacing, including removal of R5. All audio transitions have been carefully edited including re-scoring and audio rebuilding as needed.

I'd love to see the trilogy, too. This sounds just great!!

Sure thing.

Smudge may I get them as well?


Smudger9

Of course.

Chapter 21 The first half of this episode has been used to intercut with Chapter 19 scenes. Cut to Teva arriving at the Clan’s location. Cut Din “this man cut me a break once and now I’m returning the favour” - at the moment this line doesnt fit with my preceeding edits…. This may well change when I got back to episodes 2 and 3. Cut Lines from Paz about Din saving his son (this has been cut). Cut the entire pointer sequence where Bo explains (in length!) the plan to defeat the pirates. Cut to the Pirates on Nevarro and the battle then play out. Cut Pirate king “Its the Mandalorian” - he would nt know because their earlier encounter has been cut. Battle scene trimmed and uneccessary “Marvel” dialogue has been removed. Cut droid correcting Karga about hus title. Trim Bo and Armourer talking about the forge. Chapter 22 The Gideon/Kane scxene from Chapter 21 has been placed here to privide a spacer scene. I have cut Gideon “and make it quick because I’m short on time”. The scene ends as he walks past the clones because the shadow council scene has been moved to the start of the movie. Opening scene of Axe’s Mandalorians and the Quarren as been cut. We cut to Din and Bo arriving on Plazir-15. Losing control of the ship has been cut, so they now land on the planet of their own free will. Cut Din “I knew they looked familiar" Wipe transition from the Gauntlet landing to Bo and Din walking to the Mandalorian camp. Trimed some of the standing and staring. Cut Bo “certainly as much as any of us”. Cut Bo “no matter how well intended”. Cut Din repeating “would it not belong to her”. All other scenes have been cut including the entirity of the Chapter 23 Cut Karga explining to his droid about the cruiser being Mandalorian. Cut Karga calling the droid IG-12. Cut Karga asking Mando if he likes the droid. Cut discussion about whether the droid is safe - the scene this references has been cut. Cut Karga “I think he’s saying he’s old enough to operate it”. Cut IG/Grogu messing around at the food stall. Cut Bo talking about the poisioned surface of Mandalore and dormant creatures - most of these encounters have been cut. Cut Din “Grogu as well”. Cut 3 “I will go”. Cut Bo “We will lose Comms shortly”. Trim walking across Mandalore sequence. Cut Bo “you were right, I was selfish and this is waht it brought”. Cut board game sequence. Cut giant creature attacking the land ship. We cut from the Gaunlet returning to the cruiser to the Mandalorians entering the caves to the forge. Cut Bo “no its too far”. Cut Axe “I can make it, its our only chance of taking the planet back”. Now Axe’s move is more decisive. Trim down battle sequence. Cut Din telling Grogu to keep up. Cut Bo “I’ll make sure of it”. Cut Gideon “now surrender the darksaber and tell these people this planet is mine”. Trim Paz v Mando Troopers. Chapter 24 Move the TIE squadron leaving the base to the opening scene so that it immediately preceeds Bo telling Axe about the TIEs. This creates more tension a jeapardy for Axe’s subplot. Cut Axe “I’m entering the upper atmousphere but I have my orders. Remove wipe transition between Bo’s forces and Din. Edit Din’s escope so that the Mando trooper no longer blasts him twice (Din gets hit by balsters far too many times over the seasons!) Cut Din “thankyou for your help” Cut scene of Gideon tracking Mando - it makes no sense. Cut R5 completely - his presence really slows the pacing - this involvewd cropping scenes, cuting scenes, re-scoring and audio editing. Move Axe arriving at the cruiser forward. Cut Axe “Bo Katan needs our help” Move Bo Katan and her group arriving at the cave escape point backwards slightly. I’ve made a significant change at this point. As she tells Din that she’s under attack and getting the troops to safety the Armourer contacts her to tell her that her reinforcements have arrived. Added Bo “lets take back out planet” from a later scene (which I’ve cut). We then cut from the Mandos blasting out of the cave to them joining with the Mandalorians above from a later scene. I’ve used a few flipped and reversed shots to accommodate the additional dialogue. This allowed me to completely cut the “garden scene” which slowed down the plot and removed any sense of danger. Having the “lets take back out planet” at this point has more emotional weight. Cut from Bo leading the Mandalorians into the Base back to Mando searching for Gideon. Here I’ve combined the two seperate scenes into one, having moved the Fleet scene forwards. This took a lot of audio rebuilding and score manipulation with original score tracks and revurb to remove R5 and combine the scenes into a smooth single scene. It now plays out with much more urgency and threat. End the scene before Mando goes into the Clone room and cut to Bo and her forces. If the full scene of Din plays out it feels too long in this edited form. After the Bo Forces scene cut to Mando in the Clone room. Cut to Bo’s forces and then back to Mando facing off Gideon. Gut Gideon “smother them before they could take their first breath” Giancarlo’s acting was a bit off here so I cut away from him and his sentence is cut off as Din appears and fires at him. Cut straight from Moff Taking Dinn down to Grogu v Praetorian Guards as I’ve used the original spcer scene of Bo’s forces earlier in the edit. Cut to Axe plnging towards Mandalore in the Cruiser - this scene has been moved forwards to create jeopardy and because there was too large a gap between Axe’s scenes in the original series. Axe’s line about crashing into the base is transitioned to shot a shot of Bo. Added Bo saying “Din” as we cut to a distant shot of Din v Gideon. The Gideon duel then plays out. Trim Gideon firing at Din so that Bo interventes much faster. Added new exit soundtrack to classical iris out and Star Wars music.

Here are the detailed changes. Chapter 17 Custom credits using Disney Era flashing characters over Fox Fanfare followed by ALTAIAGFFA Custom Crawl and right screen pan to N1 exiting hyperspace Opening scene is Mando travelling to Bo Katan’s Castle whic establishes his motivations. Edited to trim his long walk to and away from Bo’s throne. Hard Cut to the armourer at the forge. Initiation ceremony takes place but the creature attack is removed. Scene ends with “this is the way” with a re-used shot of the armourer used as the exit shot. Cut to Din arriving on Navarro. Removed transition wipe as Mando enters the town. Trimmed Mando and Grogu walking through the town. Remove transition wipe to Grogu spinning in the chair. Cut Garga’s lines about the belters and money to be made on Navarro. Trimmed the envounter with the pirates. Cut Vane “that explains why she wouldn’t let me inside”. Cut refrences to the pirate king. Cut Vane “now bring me a drink”. Cut Vane “you hear that boys, his school” and “you paid us for murder and mayhem insde these doors”. Trim the standoff between Karga and Vane. Cut scene where Mando tries to rebuild IG-11, instead he takes him straight to the Anzellans. Remove transition wipe. CUt Mando “this one is my friend”. Cut Anzellan “Not friend anymore”. Cut Karga “he says you should get a new one”. Remove Encounter with pirate ships. Edit cuts from Mando leaving Nevarro to Teva discovering the wrecked Republic shuttle from chapter 21. Cut Teva “I knew it, he never made it to trial”. Cut to Mando travelling through hyperspace with Purgill. Chapter 18 Cut to Pelli on Tatooine. Cut the Jawa/Pelli parts scam scene. Cut Pelli “you know how Mos Eisley gets during Boonta week”. Cut Mando leaving Tattoine. End scene with Pelli Offering R5 to Mando. Reuse head shot of Mando to extend scene and line up scene transition with music. Cut to Imperial Shadow Council Scene from Chapter 23. Cut the multiple “yes” responses. Cut mention of an assassination attempt. Cut “Yes I see”. Cut to Mando exiting hyperspace above Mandalore. Cut Mando “from the surface we won’t be able to communicate with anyone, so we have to be careful”. Cut R5 stopping and Mando telling him to stop being a baby. Cut whole scene of R5 dissapearing and Mando heading into the cave to rescue him. The edit has R5 heading into the rocks and then transmitting information that the atmousphere is breathable. Then a wipe transition to Mandio and Grogu walking towards the cave. Shortened Mando and Grogu’s journey to the mines. Cut crrature attacking Grogu as he leaves the cave to fetch help. Small edit to remove continuity error of Grogu jumping from his hovercahir and into the cockpit. R5 bleeps used to replace sounds. Remove Transition wipe to Bo’s Castle scene Remove Gauntlet taking off from Bo’s Castle, replaced by hard cut to captured Mando having his blood extracted. Cut to Gauntlet arriving on Mandalore. Trim Gauntlet travelling thrugh atmosphere Cut Bo “It didnt always look like this.” Cut Bo asking Grogu to guide her. Massively Trim Bo’s journey to Din including removal of R5 sceen and the creature attack. Cut back to repeated shot of Mando losing his blood and then to Bo arriving to rescue him. Cut Bo “Din I cant hear you, are you trying to say something”. Cut Bo “he’s quite the navigator”. Trim Bo talking to Din about her father. Chapter 19 (intercut with scenes from Chapter 21) Cut to Nevarro Pirate invasion scene from Chapter 21. Cut to DIn and Bo at the edge of the waters. WIpe transition from Gauntlet taking off from Mandalore surface to external shot of Adelphi Base. Alelphi base scene from Chapter 21. Cut to shot of Gauntlet returning to Kalevala. Cut R5’s screeching and Bo “Don’t worry I gre up flying these cliffs” and “of course its been a while”. Cut Din and Bo taling about ship damage at the end of the initial dogfight. Cut to Chapter 21 scene of Karga and the citizens at their makeshift camp. The scene starts with Karga looking at the town through binoculars - the “walking" is cut because it makes it obvious that there arent anough extras in the scene and the group also make a strange turn due to the limitations of the volume set. Wipe transition to Teva exiting hyperspace above Coruscant from Chapter 21. WIpe transition to Mando and Bo exiting hyperspace en route to Mando’s old covert. Cut Din “its a secret location and you are my guest” Trim posturing and walking as Bo and DIn land and walk into the Clan’s cave. After Armourer welcomes Bo to the Clan I added armourer dialogue from Chapter 1 to add “a pauldron would be in order”, “I shall craft it”. The whole Coruscant plot line has been romoved. Chapter 20 Wipe transition to wide shot of the Covert Planet Cut to Armourer making Bo a new Pauldron. Everything else form this Chapter has been cut - the training sequence, the creature stealing the foundling and the Grogu-Armourer scene including Grogu’s flashback. These scenes have no relevance to the main plot of the season and provide no payoff at the end. The only continuity issue was Bo losing her Pauldron in the rescue, but this has been expained by the Armourer offering her a new pauldron after welcoming her to the clan.

Far-Ingenuity459

I really liked this edit, I think I liked Fate of the Mandalore a bit better but i liked certain parts 9f this edit better. If that makes sense. Things i liked about Fate more. How the movie dealt with the pirates, they came off more menacing..they attacked Navaro without warning. I liked that. The first 20-25 moved quicker, pace wise. Things about this edit I liked better. The ending, i like the added scenes with the beard guy and getting that robot head, and the new sherriff or whatever it was. Lol Showing more of grogu being grogu. Both movies are great tho. Dont take any of my criticism as bad. There are obviously more things but I'm struggling to stay awake. Lol


Smudger9

Thanks for the feedback. I tried a version with the pirates attacking without warning, but felt that having the initial confrontation worked better, and I really wanted to keep Grief Karga’s explanation of what happened to Marshall Dune and Moff Gideon.


representativeSteven

This looks great! I really enjoyed the story of this season, it just had too many side plots. May I have the link?


natealv99

Would love to check it out! Thanks in advance :)


loriffic

I really liked this edit A LOT!!! For starters, I haven't seen your previous Mando edits, so the opening fanfare and the Star Wars Mando logo and the opening crawl were an awesome surprise. I didn't miss Pershing or the creature attacks (I'm sure Ragnar was happy for that, too lol). I really liked that you chose to start with Din's visit to Bo. That was the perfect starting point since so much of the story is Bo's story arc to go from brooding on the throne to leading the attack to reclaim Mandalore. All of your audio transitions were perfect and the re-scoring was amazing. I loved what you did to the 2-part finale. Pacing was great and I didn't miss R5. And as much as I love Jack Black, I liked that that whole side story was gone. Nice for Din and Bo to just land on the planet and go straight to the merc Mandos. I'm looking forward to watching the previous 3 Mando episodes. Thank you very much for making this edit. I really enjoyed it.


Smudger9

Thanks so much for the review. I thought season three was a bit disappointing, but when the filler is removed there is actually a really good story there. I hope you enjoy the other edits.

I'm very curious! Could I get a link?
