KENOBI - The Boonta Eve Redux

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!

  • That's awesome, the series absolutely felt like it was meant to be a movie but executives demanded it be extended. Excited to check this out!

  • This is awesome! Hopefully someone spins up a torrent with the full 1080p version

    • Thanks so much!

      The 1080p version is downloadable via the MEGA link above - if you can't download it from MEGA natively, try using jdownloader (linked in description)

      • Mega will work for a couple months but after a year or so when people stumble upon this thread they will really appreciate seeing theres a torrent available. Especially if it gets big and the copyright cops come for the mega link

  • Just finished a watch, incredible job pulling all of the great parts from the show together into a very convincing "movie".

    There were a few (like literally one or two) rough / noticeable jump-like cuts which I imagine were just unavoidable with the source material and what you needed to do with those scenes.

    Overall this is a fantastic edit, you should be very proud of this and I have already recommended it to a lot of my friends and will continue to do so (probably in lieu of ever suggesting the show itself lol).

  • Downloding from mega is not working. Even trying to download with jdownloader causes a bandwidth exceeded error. Can you upload it to google drive until you figure out making a torrent of it?

    • I'll try to compress the file size to below 5gb if possible - it's currently just over 9gb - and i'll look into another hosting solution. Can't do Google Drive - it would get immediately flagged - but I'll see what I can do.
