I'm a professional film and TV editor. In between jobs, I recut the Kenobi show from a weak 6-hour miniseries to a strong 2-hour movie (including full sound & score remixing via split-audio I managed to get).

My goal for this redux was to create a tight, entertaining adventure story from the original assets.

Unlike the Patterson cut, or other fan-edits, I did not add any external assets (with one tiny exception that I'm sure you'll all notice, ha). Adding external assets from other films and shows (or original VFX) tends to break visual unity, and in my opinion is a glaringly obvious addition. The work by other fan-edits is very impressive, but would not fit with the goal of this project.

The Boonta Eve Redux is comprised of the original show itself, but pared-down, shaped, and made strong.

That said, it's important to note that no amount of re-editing can fix fundamental story problems. In my opinion, the entire existence of Kenobi is a rather unfortunate misadventure, driven almost wholly by Disney wanting to push content for content's sake. I feel strongly that having Kenobi and Vader encounter each other between RotS and ANH is, for many reasons, a critical mistake; likewise, having Kenobi and Leia encounter each other is almost as bad.

However, this re-edit addresses some of the most glaring oversights and mistakes of the original show, while highlighting its few true successes. Ultimately, I feel that it's a major improvement.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the cut. Feel free to share, create torrents, etc.

Thanks for watching!

UPDATE: I've uploaded a more-compressed (but visually great) version of the Boonta Eve cut to the MEGA folder. It's just under 5gb and should download much more easily. I'm building a torrent encode currently and will link to that within the next day.

I've been making custom proxies for a while, and these are some of my favorites. Opponents' reactions are always either utterly confused or hilariously distracted.

In your opinion, which moment sticks out as the absolute lowest point of the series? The absolute nadir of quality? Be as specific as you like - can be a moment from a game, or a whole game in its entirety if you can't pick.

Also, what about the opposite - the highest point? A moment so good that you felt FE had reached a new peak of excellence?

For me, the lowest point has to be the dynamic between the Nohrian family in Conquest. The moment-to-moment writing is atrocious, but I doubt even John Updike could have saved the overall arc of the story itself, regardless of the specific lines of dialogue.

Another contender is the entirety of Fire Emblem Heroes. I can't even begin to describe how much that gacha dogshit bothers me, and the influence it has had on the direction of the series as a whole is extremely depressing.

The highest point for me (so far) is when Alm and Celica's routes merge in Valentia. I don't know what it is about that game, but it's far and away my favorite so far.

If you had told 23-year-old me that the brand new copy of Skyrim I was holding would be the last mainline Elder Scrolls game I'd play until I was in my 40s, I would have kicked you out of my house.

There's always Blades, I guess...

Last fall I moved into an apartment with a plum tree in the front yard. I don't know anything about plants or trees or fruit, and now that summer is here there are hundreds of plums dangling off this tree. They're attracting millions of ants, as well as raccoons, possums, rats, and a few bold humans who I've caught plucking from the tree.

I guess I like plums? But there's around a week left until they all fall to the ground and become a horrifying slurry, and I'd rather avoid that.

Any suggestions?

TLDR: Have plum tree, it's bursting with plums, no idea what to do in order to avoid ant apocalypse
