Kenobi: Trials Of The Master Trailer #2 Changes Comparison

- "Kenobi: Trials Of The Master" is a feature-length fan retelling of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. It uses the footage from the Series with other films in the franchise, and utilizes VFX, editing and new footage to create a completely new take on the story. It is intended to entertain and inspire the fan base, as well as to educate the upcoming artists on the possibilities of modern filmmaking.
This is not intended to interfere, or belittle, or replace the original series in any way. That's not even possible, and that was never my intention. And if it was even possible, I would never want it. This is my personal take on the story, and my ultimate love letter to the Star Wars universe.
This whole educational project wouldn't be possible without the artists and the entire creative team that made the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, so go and watch it on Disney+.
-Since many of you expressed the wish to see the comparison between the new shots and the original series, I did a quick edit for you.
For the sake of seeing the difference better, I left the original footage as-is, without retiming, flipping or regrading.
Even though I am using majority of the shots in the series, the context of them is completely changed, so much so they can also be considered "New shots", but the dramatic impact of it you'll see when the film comes out.
As the time goes on, you'll see more videos like this, including guided breakdowns for the more complicated shots.

It was made as an experiment in VFX and editing, and will feature multiple breakdowns and tutorials with the goal of promoting creative thinking and filmmaking technology. I respect the original creators of the series and the series overall. Without it, this edit and, all the other fan-art wouldn't be possible.
This is not intended to fix, or belittle, or replace the original series in any way, but is supposed to be viewed as an alternative approach to the same story. Neither this project nor I are affiliated with Disney/Lucasfilm in any way!

The colors look so much more attractive, interesting, realistic, and Star Wars-like than the actual show.
The Grand inquisitor holding a red ballon and is wondering if you'll float to
@@Cloningmaster55 The Pau'ans debuted il live action in 2005, the Grand Inquisitor appeared (with all his facial markings) in 2014. "It" premiered in 2017. GI has the high ground here when it comes to appearance 😂
no they don’t lol
@@calebisdisposable Disney Puppet
they certainly do not look more realistic
I love that Tatooine actually has nice looking sand and blue skies again. I've hated how Disney's always shown it as a muted planet in the shows.
x2
It's literally a sand planet. In the opening shots of ANH the skies are basically grey due to it being cloudy (some blue gets through) and the sand is oversaturated, but still, you know...sand. However, I also like BvS, so I'll give you a pass lol.
@@GestaltO While that's true, I'm more referring to the colour grading itself. ANH was done before a lot of those processes became standard. The prequels show what I'm more talking about. I just feel Disney's Tatooine is just a bunch of grey
Say thanks to the volume...
Ugh, exactly.
When I think of Disney's version of Tatooine, I imagine it being oppressively hot/stifling, and the sand is incessantly suffocating all creatures that breathe air.
It looks absolutely miserable (BUT, I imagine those are the visceral "feels" that Disney were going for?)
Undoubtedly, the Tatooine of Disney lore doesn't resemble the tranquil blue skies or clay-like serene sand dunes that PixelJokers does.
That transition from vader to anakin was 👌
So agree!!
Totally agree. Would have been so cool for them to actually use that during the final confrontation. It really is a shame what we got.
The cringiest part of the entire edit. Absolute lack of subtlety. Leave it to fanboys to ruin the shit they love because they want it to be cool instead of good.
@@CryingCreeperMLG ok buddyyy
yeah but it would be so cringe in a actual star wars trailer
Just noticed Qui Gon's lightsaber crystal buried with only Anakin's lightsaber. Amazing. You are hitting all the nails on the head.
That's...why I'm here :)
@@PixelJoker95 That’s… good news.
@PixelJoker95 that's a direct reference to Luke's ROTJ lightsaber crystal coming from Qui-Gon's right? Because I love that theory. Brings everything full circle
Does this mean in this fan edit that Obi-Wan only buried Anakin's lightsaber in the desert? I hope it shows how Obi-Wan is able to find the spot again. I always assumed it was through the force, as I can't imagine there being any landmarks to identify the site.
Maybe I don't remember the lore correctly, because I don't understand, why you removed the second lightsaber from the box. What was the reason?
The colors look so much better here. Everything is clear and vibrant. I don't understand why so many films and shows now seem afraid to add some color. Even the superhero films have muted or dulled colors.
I think it's a lazy attempt by them to show that their stories are "dark" and "edgy". Basically, "it's not a phase mom!" (narrator: it was, _in fact,_ a phase)
It's because with the LED wall, the additional colors will project into the environment and they'll have a shot that isn't ideal.
For Marvel it’s due to a reduced cgi processing time (therefore saving money) so I would assume it’s the same for other studios?
A fan who has more passion than an entire studio with millions. Keep up the great work man
A fan who is a VFX Artist and also already worked with Disney on Star Wars related projects.
But works like this makes you want Disney to actually make extended special editions of their show that might fix the most glaring issues but of course that means investing a lot of money if you want a lot of that Quality for an entire show instead of just a teaser.
What passion and actual care to the lore, characters, etc looks like.
The Patterson cut was amazing, and this looks next level. Excited to see the final work!
just watched it and it felt soo much more star wars, the story got more solid when cutting out cringe stuff and unneccesary stuff.. but these things edited would make it crazy awesome...
I keep showing/telling my friends about this and we all can’t wait!!! Great work man🫡
Will it be released as a movie??
@@notacasual yeah, as far as I’m aware it will be
@@ryanmikolowski7008 that’s awesome, how will he get around the copyright though?
I've watched this like 10x. Noticed you used an ep of boba fett, that's brilliant. Yoda looks amazing. Qui gons crystal, the added ship blasting the storm troopers, the inquisitors look evil af, and how how changed that scene with the thrown double light saber. Damn dude this is brilliant.
I can't wait.
Yes Qui Gon chrystal
Man, you have really leveled up everything here. It’s quite spectacular, everything is more vivid and memorable, not only did you make the locations more interesting you made what was already there look better. Absolutely fantastic.
The only improvement I could see is that shot of Obi-Wan in the cantina near the end, it looks like the footage of Ewan doesn’t quite line up with the hood. It just seems a little out of place or like an unfinished photoshop if that makes sense. Took me out very slightly but everything else is unbelievably good for a one-man VFX project. Cannot wait to watch it later this year.
PixelJoker95 WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE, WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS
Hahaha epic comment! xD
It will be difficult to bring a "dramatic impact" out of 'Kenobi', but the amount of work gives me hope. We will watch your career with great interest.
Fear not!
Your edit looks way more cinematic and truly feels as if it was made for the big screen. Amazingly done! 👍
Also when this film reaches completion, how will I be able to watch it?
I mean if it didn't make him look like Pennywise which is why in the Obi-Wan show they made the red on his face barely visible I'm sure
It will be a movie… so im sooo excited to finally get a movie again. Even tho it’s made from a show and made into a fanbase film. Still feels amazing!
That is the word. Cinematic. Star Wars deserved the money to be spent, instead of cutting corners
Came here for the same question. I hope it’s on here since that’d just be easier, and honestly I can’t think of many other places
@@mrsebros how would it be impossible on TH-cam? There are full length movies all over the site so I don’t think length is an issue
The amount of effort & dedication you put into this is astonishing. I am very eager to see the final product. Cheers!
Thank you for all the time and effort put towards trying to salvage this story. It is _very much_ appreciated.
That colourgrade is fire to!
The fire would be greater if the compression allowed it 🤣
@@PixelJoker95 Gotta love that compression. Is that a shot from Andor at 1:03 to?
SOMEONE gotta send this to Star Wars Theory or get this trending, as soon as more was shown from 0:50 and then on it was all for me feeling the feels!!
Especially the shots when Kenobi and Vader were fighting and you see the environment look grand with the lighting shot.
The highlight for me was when that thunder sound changed Vader to Anakin and it truly looked well blended like he was there.
Bravo man👏
Felt like a movie trailer, it all felt natural with the music and scenes!!
THIS is what Star Wars Should be!!
there is so much more tension in the presentation, it looks amazing! its an amazing showing of your talent.
Just making the Vader vs Obi wan fight VISIBLE is already a big achievement in on itself, congrats!
Woooah, the comp work is just top tier! Amazing lighting is really really nice, a lot of the subtle changes somehow bring such a great deal out of what's there.
I haven't watched Obiwan yet. When you release your version it will be my first and only experience with the show.
I had to pause to really appreciate everything. This is beautifully done and is a great fan work. I especially love the quick reference to the Grand Inquisitors past as a Jedi Knight 1:15.
This is incredible. So much better than actual show.
It makes mesa sad seeing real talent like dis and then knowing that Disney has the money to hire and pay people like yousa but instead wesa get garbage. This fan edit makes the Kenobi show actually look good. Thank yousa for this!
It cause he doesn't share their politics.
He actually worked on Andor 😂
Its not even an exaggeration of how much better everything looks. You just embarrassed a studio full of actual people that work on star wars projects with millions of dollars at their disposal with your much humbler smaller at home set up lol.
I agree the production could have been better, but honestly the writing for the Kenobi Series is very good...(mostly). It continues 2017 Vader's character arc perfectly and it continues the Darth Maul/Obi Wan rivalry by having his story mirror Maul's in Clone Wars and acts as a bridge to how he makes the right decision to move on from the past while Maul continues to cling onto it, showing us how the man came to be in Twin Suns.
To see a comparison is interesting especially because I’ve never seen the show. Obviously a lot of cool color changes and added cgi bits.
However, there could definitely be an argument for more subtlety in places. For example all the flashback stuff - especially the transition of Vader and Anakin. Kinda feels like it could be a bit forced but I have to see it within the film. I just hope that with all the effort (and truly great work) you’ve put in, we’re gonna see some call-backs or references just for “fan servicey’s” sake that could take some of us out of the film. I also really don’t want to totally knock you - I’m still uber excited for this edit as it does look great!
Fear leads to the dark side...
100%. I'm also not a fan of the new environment for Kenobi vs Vader, I really liked the original planet. Guess we'll see when the project releases.
as someone who watched the show, it needs stuff like that bad. There are cool flashbacks for sure but they almost all are the same scene just chopped up. It had some cool moments though.
@@talizorahnarrayya5916 it looked like tattooine at night, this makes it feel a unique environment that is from a planet that actually does exist in the star wars universe.
@@talizorahnarrayya5916 I'm not a fan of the environment for the final Vader/Kenobi fight but really just because it was to dark. It gave me GoT flashbacks. 😱 This new version does look good though.
Whoever Disney has working for em needs to fire they ass and hire this guy
Patiently awaiting the release of this masterpiece.
I've seen soo many fan projects of star wars shows, movies, etc. and it still baffling how the fans are doing a better job representing star wars than a corporation like disney
You actually made it feel like Star Wars
Thank you for making this :) Star wars needs help and youv shown its possible to make it better and better. Looking forward to wathcing your version.
Let’s go! I can’t wait till we get a firm release date. This looks phenomenal!
Everything I wanted from the Kenobi show! 👏🏼
Man that shot of the Grand Inquisitor in his former Temple Guard uniform is chef’s kiss
I remember watching two alternate Kenobi "movies" last year, and they we're both ten times better than the original show. One focused mainly on cutting out unnecessary stuff, and the other one was shorter, used some VFX, older music, deepfakes and shit - it was pretty cool. But this, this is something else. I can't wait!
Keep up the immense work, my guy!
I love how u gave that planet a Star Wars feel to it 1:06 rather it being just a rock place
Crazy how things can be so different when they're made with care, passion, and love
I loved it the moment I saw the visuals of Fortress inquisitorious and Mustafar in the sky were consistent with Fallen Order. Really makes everything seem connected keep it up.
Yessss this is Star Wars 🔥🔥🔥👍🏼💪🏻💪🏻
Ahhh I'm gonna blow I'm so excited for this! Awesome work! I'm more invested in this than any disney project right now.
Phenomenal work.
Note to Disney, entertainment is just like any other product: consistent quality matters. This is what that looks like.
This is why only the fans should be working at Lucasfilm. Great job!🔥
@Searoof Yeah but he wasn't calling the shots on decisions.
@@frostfang7670 No but Andor came out really good regardless. Kenobi on the other hand...
I hope you’re able to get this released on Star Wars Day, that’s my 22nd birthday! May the Force be with you.
Kudos for you! it is amazing how much it already changes with a better color grading. Keep going, don't stop!
I have a terminal illness. Living in borrowed time already.
This project is the one thing that I really want to see before I go.
Dude I’m so proud to see this explosion of subscribers on your channel. I remember the first time I saw this over on Reddit. Good work man
I don’t know if you’ll read this comment or not, but I really want you to change the sound of the lightsabers of the inquisitors from the Rebels series! They were very chic and had an unusual sound! I really ask you to like it so they can see it. ❤ Greetings from Russia, from the CIS we are waiting for your film)
Doesn’t cease to amaze me how fans can have such a better understanding of this franchise than the incompetent studio, producers and directors they’ve hired to do these shows. Awesome job mate this looked better than anything Disney has made.
You, sir, truly are Mr. Incredible. Great job. This looks amazing. Can't wait till it's done!
So good can't wait!
I love this edit so much and I can't wait for it. I just have one little question... considering Fallen Order and the events that transpire in that game. Do you plan on adding Star Destroyers to guard the Inquisitors planet or would that cause too many changes to implement? I think if it's possible it would be a far cry from the stupid idea that is Inquisitorius being completely unguarded compared to Fallen Order and the scene where that one guy says "It would be stupid to attack it so it doesn't have any defense. making absolutely no sense since, again, Fallen Order happened. Bit jumbled but hopefully you get what I am trying to say. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks man! Agree with everything you said! It's already in the film, and I also addressed the Rokens transport ship passing the shields.
Hello there!
Just found out about this! Incredible work! Take your time, this is a real gem
It's just like seeing an old friend after years who just recovered from hospital...
This is gonna be so awesome! Thank you so much for putting your time into it!
this makes it feel so much more alive
This was incredible. You were able to make it look so much better
Now THAT is Star Wars
Words can’t describe how incredible your work is.
So good u gotta watch at quarter speed to appreciate all the details!! I really hope the grand inquisitor's look comes out okay in the final cut. I love the new look, but some shots he looks a little off to me... Hopefully it's just cuz I'm comparing the two in real time 🤞 Still so freeaking hyped!!!
The shot through Obi-WAN’s binoculars where he sees young Anakin next to Luke was so tragic in a way
That lightsaber ignition and throwing dual blade lightsaber gives the inquisitors way more gravitas and and sense of threat! That was very missing in the series. Also the face change of the fifth brother and grand inquisitor (also more in line with his kind) give its so much more sense of danger.
just got re-recommending this video love your work i still in hope to see it soon
I can't say that fans always do it better, but there's usually a level of passion that can't be met with commercial media. There will probably be changes that are unnecessary or even unliked, however, I have no doubts that this will be a fantastic final product
0:43 Really AMAZING shot and sequence there. I don't know if it'd fit Obi-Wan though, he was on the ship the majority of the time on Tatooine so he isn't as tied to Anakin's time there as Qui-Gon would be. If he was the one that took Anakin from Tatooine in the way Qui-Gon did he'd probably be haunted by those memories. But Qui-Gon was the one that did all of that, Obi-Wan was just waiting and didn't trust Anakin even when Qui-Gon brought him on.
So that is an AMAZING shot, but I don't know if that would haunt Obi-Wan in particular. But just my two cents ^_^
Man this trailer alone looks and feels more like star wars than the entire show itself. Really hyped to see this any tentative date at which we can expect to see this masterpiece
I hope it's 2023. But the quality is my only priority.
Y'all are crazy, like the best kind of crazy, cuz this is, I'm sure, a metric ton of work, and I love it.
i was looking at the top and thought it looked nice. then i realized your work on the bottom and was blown away!! it really outshines the original editing… really nice job!!
Love this. Wish I could do something similar myself with the sequels. Have a completely different way of doing it in my mind, but no skills to produce it.
Bless you for doing the Grand Inquisitor justice here, they really did my man dirty in the show in so many ways.
So that’s where Luke got his crystal…
You Sir Have a Love for "Star Wars" At this point, Disney needs to let the Fans take the Wheel or someone that Loves Stars Wars with all their Heart...because they can't get it right because Disney doesn't Love "Star Wars" greed rules them. This is why Star Wars is Failing for them and the Fans.
Let's be honest here... This looks way better, than what we actually got from the Series.
This is PHENOMENAL 🙏🙏
Absolutely stunning! this puts disney to shame on what they COULD have done but because of timing and trying to push everything out at once. You clearly have love for star wars and many of us are grateful you have done this! cant wait to see the final product!
on side note would you also do this for the Book of Boba fett to fix Cad Bane?
my fave part of this is that the inquisitor is a jedi temple guard @ 1:15
'tis beautiful 👏👏👏
This looks stellar. Really eager for it's release, I'd very much like to add this to my SW collection. Looks like you fixed most of the issues I had with the series - which I loved by the way, But you made it so much better. The bits that were grinding my gears are getting fixed! Well done! And thanks for all you did on Andor! Keep up the good work!
Yo this looks dope. I get so sick of how live action Stat Wars is so dull these days. Let's get some exotic looking environments and effects. Ocean planets and de-saturated colors are getting old
The difference between these two versions is simple passion. Disney creators lack passion they don't love star wars like George or the fans do. And that added passion of a fan makes all the difference in the world.
I say the director was on point. She match the visual sense of star wars. Everything else was a let down unfortunately.
That Grand Inquisitor Temple shot for Order 66 is 😘🤌
You're welcome! :D
Great work! You are better than all of the Kenobi series team together
Hope... Is candled
Thank you so much for correcting this shame from Disney.
Why don't they replace of workers with you? Or at least force them to take notes from you. You nailed it mane!
As a Rebels fan, great job with the Inquisitor.
Man, now this looks insanely good
This made me more excited than the original Kenobi trailer! Def cant wait to watch this!
This is the most amazing thing I've seen in Star Wars in a long time. The fact that this guy can make better and more appealing VFX than a multibillion dollar company can is astonishing!
Gotta comment to support that algorithm baby! I’ve just seen this traile and this is already my canon
Absolutely beyond excited for this. Every detail I’ve seen so far in this looks so promising. Please keep it up.
I love this looks like we'll see more of his inner turmoil. Or his demons throughout this edit. I'm so excited!!!
This is going to be the best Star Wars movie ever made
❤ 😂 hurry hurry I can't wait!!!!
This looks absolutely fabulous. I wish they had done Kenobi this way, needs the salvation, and I want to see way more of Darth🎉
you are insanely talented, please keep it up. your work is beautiful, I know for a fact that I definitely want to see this whole thing 🙏
my good sir please continue to show how Epic this show could have been!!
Apart from the shot of Ben with his hood on it all looked incredible.
Yoda chilling with chorus frogs calling in the background lol. Dagobah must be somewhere in the Southeastern United States 😂
This is so cool and I love it. Great work, my friend
This is so much better
has a creative i love to see people go out of their way to make something no matter what.
such an inspiration and motivator.
TY! This was meant to inspire!
