Synopsis:

The Ahsoka series is some of the best Star Wars has to offer but was held back by extremely poor editing, pacing, and dialogue. This movie edit remedies that by condensing the series as much as possible and committing to a more theatrical experience. I want this edit to feel like you could view it in a theater and have it stand side by side with other tentpole Star Wars movies. This edit can fully replace the series for first time watchers -- you won't be missing anything important. The final episode's title was chosen to represent the edit as a whole because I find the reference to Narnia to be compelling and it has the weight and whimsy I think the story deserves.

Intentions:

Rundown: - A new traditional-style crawl that retains the original series' music and red coloring - Significantly trimmed down every single scene for pacing, adding new transitions where necessary - Removed particularly useless/dumb dialogue, awkward pauses, and unnecessary/confusing beats - Several deleted scenes, a few rearranged scenes -- making sure there are no story changes that would make this edit non-canon - A slight color grade to make it feel less digital and more like film I have not kept track of every single change as it is in the hundreds. My timeline shows 509 edits.

Change List:

- Ahsoka and Huyang's conversation after her introduction - Sabine reminiscing on Ahsoka's ship - Ahsoka and Hera's conversation about Sabine after she takes the map - Hera talking to Sabine in the hospital - Baylan and Shin arriving on Seatos (scene of Baylan looking up at the purrgil reused later on) - Ahsoka and Hera's conversation about Sabine on Corellia - Ahsoka and Sabine talking about her past training and Sabine trying to use the force on a mug - Hera leaving the fleet to go to Seatos - Baylan sending a hunting party out into the woods to attack the T-6 shuttle - Ahsoka waking up on the Ghost - The New Republic fleet arriving on Seatos and most related scenes - Sabine in the Eye of Sion's cell - Sabine fighting the raiders on Peridea - Hera's trial on Coruscant - Ahsoka viewing Anakin's old training holograms - Ahsoka and Huyang's conversation on their way to Peridea - Baylan and Shin's conversation while tracking Sabine - Shin being aided by the raiders during her attack - Baylan and Ahsoka's second fight on Peridea - Ezra building his lightsaber - (there are likely other minor things I am forgetting) Rearranged scenes: - Moved Sabine's conversation with Huyang in the hospital to before Ahsoka finds the droid, allowing all of Corellia to happen consecutively. - Morgan arrives on Seatos just before Ahsoka finds the droid and goes to Corellia. - World Between Worlds occurs immediately after the Eye of Sion enters hyperspace and is interrupted only once by the arrival of Hera on Seatos. - The Eye exits hyperspace as soon as Ahsoka enters hyperspace - Baylan speaks to Shin about old Jedi stories right before Ahsoka and Huyang talk about old Jedi stories. Huyang's "far, far away" line then cuts to Peridea and Thrawn's introduction. - Moved Ahsoka talking to Sabine about Anakin on top of the T-6 to the very end. This is the only story change I've made as I felt this conversation was important to include, but undermined the momentum built up in the third act. - (there are likely other minor things I am forgetting)
