you've got a killer eye for shape and expression
Would that I were so lucky. I am, in fact, Tymon Brown, for whatever that's worth.
I don't even know what to do with myself, reading this. It's so fucking nightmarish. Why do we allow this hell to continue? That man should have been in a warm, safe bed. And he could have been if we didn't hate our own people so much.
If the discourse I'm seeing on dev/gaming twitter/bluesky is anything to go off of, It hasn't made anywhere near the hoped-for sales target. I think a lot of that has to do with the blowback to its initial appearance as a glorified hero shooter, coupled with the lack of a strong franchise identity, then further compounded by the saturation of disappointing (if not outright disastrous) big-budget drops like Redfall, Forspoken, and Concord creating a wave of fatigue
Very much appreciate that 🖖
My website has links to most of my works, or my linktree for the rest. I'll be releasing work with Jacobin Magazine soon too.
It ran out of money and everyone got laid off in 2022. We've all been looking for work since then, but I've got a few irons in the fire I'll be releasing soon.
HOW DO I GET ONE OF THESE
Are you fucking insane?
I have a job, you fucking loser
I don't expect anything. That's why I'm asking if anyone has any ideas I haven't thought of.
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!

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.
