Synopsis:
What a divisive series, huh? I know there’s going to inevitably be a boat-load of edits for this series, some already released, but I wanted to throw my hate in the ring. For some perspective, I actually really liked The Acolyte. Sure, it had it’s flaws, but I found it refreshing that the show didn’t rely on nostalgia/legacy characters, and presented some interesting and new ideas. Also, it’s hard to deny that the lightsaber action was top tier, and they introduced a great new villain. It was a good show with great promise, and I’m sad we aren’t getting a second season to see where it goes from here.

Intentions:
This is a version of The Acolyte - The Spence Edit in Black & White, with higher contrast, more film grain, and more glow. It's meant to emulate classic Samurai films like those of Kurosawa. No changes to the main edit have been done, it's exactly the same, just with the new look. I also updated the picture quality of the original version with a new source, so if you prefer the color version, it should now look significantly better!

Change List:
The biggest change that I’m most proud of so far, even though it needs more smoothing, is removing Osha’s adventure on the snow planet. Things have been re-organized and re-edited so that Sol, Jecki, and Yord go together to initially confront Osha, with Yord being the one that goes aboard to speak with her. This necessitated removing Yord’s padawan, who is never seen again anyway. Mae’s attack on Torbin happens right after Osha is brought aboard, so she’s not the prime suspect pretty much right away. I sprinkled snippets of the flashbacks from episodes 3 and 7 throughout where appropriate, so we only get the pieces of the backstory needed to reach the climax of the story. The edit runs 2 hours and 22 minutes including credits. This is a lean, mean, condensed version of the show that really feels like a Star Wars movie.
