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).

If Mega is giving you download problems, consider installing jdownloader here. It's a really incredible downloader program that you'll probably wanna keep regardless.

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!

This is incredible! I’m going to put it on my plex and share it with my friends! We adore the Star Wars fan edits.

Thanks so much! The MEGA download is 1080p! If Mega is giving you download trouble, consider installing jdownloader - it's a pretty great program.

I really hate MEGA, whenever I launch the program it tells me it's full, I can't download it normally, have to use the app. Only can do 5GB transfer per day. How does JDownloader help with this? I downloaded it and put in the link but it just gives me some secure boot path and no way to download the MP4

jdownloader bypasses restrictions on downloads that websites like MEGA have. First, open Jdownloader - make sure it's running - and then do this:

1: Open the MEGA folder

2: Right click on the Boonta Eve video file

3: Select "get link"

4: Go to jdownloader - you'll notice the link was automatically copied into the program

5: click "start all downloads" in the lower right

6: profit!

Oh great! Thank you, I’ll try this tonight. Excited to watch the edit with my Star Wars buddies!
