You're not "editing into the void." There are plenty of fans who appreciate what you do and the effort you put into it. With this video, we truly acknowledge the hard work that went into it. Bravo.
Whan one of my favorite changes in your cut is the addition of Anakin's theme from John Williams! One of the best SW themes ever! Can't wait for Part 2 of your breakdown.
Kai, I just finished watching the full movie from your edit. OMG. You took a pretty decent show and turned it into an almost masterpiece. As a huge Ahsoka Tano fan, thank you for giving us what we really expected from the show: Ahsoka being badass, Sabin being badass, Ezra being Ezra, a calculating Thrawn and non of the fluff. You and Prism are doing some truly enthralling storytelling with your work. Thank you.
This just shows the format of 8-episode season itself Disney keeps using is stupid, they should do 16-episode shows that have more time to character develop
In regards to the Ezra/Sabine thing...that implication is absolutely in Rebels as well. The two have a strong dynamic, and Sabine is clearly the closest relationship that Ezra has of the crew, even stronger than his bond with Kanan, who is his mentor. It very much reflects the dynamic that Kanan and Hera have, which is directly romantic.
Added to the contrast that watching Rebels gives you, because one knows that Sabine cares deeply for everyone she considers her family, whether it's the Ghost crew or her family on Mandalore. Quoting Sabine herself in episode 1 when she says to Ahsoka, 'Do you really think Ezra is still out there?' implying that she believed him to be dead and was mourning him... knowing that her family on Mandalore is dead, including her BLOOD BROTHER, and she has on the toolbox in the corner the ONE memory of them, compared to the memory of Ezra, which surrounds her everywhere... let's say that what Filoni shows doesn't quite align with his narrative.
@@guzm9120 I'm not sure if "doesn't align" is accurate...I think more accurately, he demonstrates that people's actions speak louder than their words. People don't always say what they mean, out of fear, embarrassment, or perhaps not even knowing their true feelings. Filoni displays depth to his characters in how their actions show their true feelings even when they cannot recognize those feelings themselves.
Yeah I also agree I find it weird that they cut their relationship down to brother and sister type stuff. I feel like they did that because they thought it'd be weird for new viewers? But even they should have kept the relationship leaning more towards romantic interest because it makes a much more compelling to an audience that knows neither of these characters or the events of Rebels.
47:00 Quick note from a movie first watcher (yes, I'm the one who also commented on the Instagram post): if I'm not mistaken, at this point in the movie we as the audience don't know yet that Huyang can be a valuable asset in a fight or as a pilot. So while it might have been an oversight from Ahsoka we wouldn't become aware of it until later in the story or during a rewatch. I for one didn't notice anything until you mentioned it. Oh and another possible in-universe explanation: communicating with Huyang would've taken more time than telling Hera to get the Phantom. And I guess that Ahsoka assumed she could reach the transport herself first if she acted quickly, which she nearly did, had she not been caught in a fight. So the Phantom (or alternatively her ship) was more like a backup. Also who knows what Huyang was up to in the meantime. Maybe he was off the ship on a mission doing his own research about the operations in this facility.
Well done! Please make a part 2 I love you over analyzing your own work. The power of editing is truly amazing. I agreed with every decision you made to improve the pacing and remove unnecessary dialogue or scenes that went no where. I still feel the show has potential but I love your movie more.
This is amazing Kai, thanks for taking the time to explain all your improvements, many I was not even aware of after watching Star Wars: Ahsoka [The Patterson Cut] multiple times. I feel a screen wipe style cut would easily fix the abrupt cut just before Sabine cuts her hair. Looking forward to part 2!
Dude this re-edit is SO GOOD! For me it made the show into something that really feels like a more concise and therefore higher quality star wars story. Thank you so much for this, some things I was saying to myself while watching the Disney+ version you actually did here! And I watched both the og Ahsoka and Obi Wan shows on Disney+ first, hopefully doing that can ensure more of this great work from you in the future without Disney going order 66 on your ass. I really can't express how grateful I am that you have done this for the fans/community, really makes Star Wars feel alive again. Especially after the disaster that was Acolyte. I really hope that people involved with Star Wars will one day see that this is what it can be like. After all, the core of this was in the original. It was just messy and drawn out in order to fit the TV series format which ultimately caused problems for the story as a whole.
Holy shit. I have to admit that I watched this video before I saw ther final product and holy shit, you deliverd, you cooked real good here my guy. I had some issues with the show and you fixed every aspect. No wierd pacing, no stupid desicions. This is how it should have released. You have some serious talent and I'm really interested in whatever you are doing next!
Me and my partner just watched this cut last night, and were AMAZED by the changes. The color, the added and the removed dialogue, the choices for pacing were so impressive! It's been a while since we watched the series, so some scenes that were cut weren't even noticeably missing, and it made the narrative flow even better! It felt more like Ahsoka's story, while also improving Sabine's screen time. As a lowly editor, I am so inspired by your work! Thank you for bringing this to the fandom! This has quickly become the favored option for re-watching Ahsoka.
I don't know if you'll read this, but thank you for doing all of this, not just the work to edit but then to show the breakdown and explain your thinking. I really wish this level of thought, intentionality and reason was put into the projects at Lucasfilm. These Disney projects have money but lack passion. If 1-2 people can sit in their house and improve a hundred million dollar project then something is really wrong at Disney. The hard creative work you put in is proof to us all that passion was indeed the missing ingredient.
It’s incredible how far the passion of fans will take them and yet the corporate overlords who want our money can’t even muster even half of that creativity which is pretty simple to understand but they refuse too.
Disney NEEDS to hire this guy! What an eye for editing! Loved the brighter colours, the faster pace, side characters actually having meaning cause it’s not stretched out. Absolutely banging edit! Highly recommend!!
I just finished the film. Absolutely amazing from beginning to end. A classic. You've done the impossible, sir. I'm actually looking forward to Season 2.
Just wanted to let you know. I have watched your obi-wan movie 3 times now. You have done a fantastic job and I can't wait to watch the Ahsoka movie. I constantly tell my friends about your movie and they love it too. Your work definitely does not go unnoticed. Thank you for everything that you do. Cheers, mate!
They would need to: 1) Specify the motivation of the characters 2) Make the sense 3) Bring actual argument against the Jedi Order instead of one event which was based on everything Jedi were against and they were blameless for insanity for what happened.
This is your best work yet!! You redeemed the show! Amazing work and thoughtfulness! I wish Disney Star wars hires you, they need all the help they can get!
I'm 11 minutes into this, hadn't seen your cut yet, and am already going to download your cut and watch it before returning. You made the same kind of edits I feel like I would have if I had a fraction of your dedication to this project, which I'm sure the majority of the commenters also feel, and god we need so much more of that kind of pacing and "show don't tell" in Star Wars right now. It's funny but also saddening to see even some of the poorer-received episodes of The Clone Wars blowing away the high-budget Disney live-action projects.
The three changes I immediately noticed was the removal of Sabine surviving a lightsaber stabbing, the removal of Sabine's "motorcycle" scene, a scene which I felt was a ripoff of a similar scene in Top Gun and Shin's yellow Sith eyes. I ❤ these changes and liked your movie. I also appreciate the hard work you put into it.
Wow! This is so interesting to see. I haven’t watched your Ahsoka movie yet but after watching this, I’ll definitely check it out! Even if I admittedly hated the series and didn’t wanna revisit it in anyway. But as an editor myself I do appreciate all the work you put into this and that you really show how clever editing can completely turn something boring around and that is without necessarily having a bunch of really fast cuts and stuff. And it also shows very well just how much empty air and unnecessary stuff there actually is in this show. Anyways can’t wait for part 2!!
Phew, I just finished the show, and it was sooo good! I’m definitely going to watch this breakdown again tomorrow. I loved everything you did here. The best part for me was the new music and how you emphasized the old ones. I don’t know why shows today don’t have really good music anymore, but what you did here is clearly noticeable and made the whole movie much better. I got the feelingof Star Wars again, similar to the feeling I get when playing SWTOR. The fun, adventure, and mystery are all in the music, and they really take the scenes to another level. While the original had some good tracks, they were never loud enough somehow. I'm out of words to explain, but I just want to say that I LOVE IT and THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing this. May the Force be with you!
Well done, Kai! Your rendition of this show is fantastic. This and your other Star Wars projects are brilliant, and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Congratulations!
This breakdown is a dream for fan edit enthusiasts such as myself. I've listened to a few fan edit audio commentaries but they always felt lacking in detail and never really got into how things were done (can't blame them too much since they have to keep up with the movie), whereas this gets into not just the how but also the why. I'll be checking out the edit and then get back to this video, but for now I'll say: I haven't seen the show since it aired, and on a visual/sound level, there's no doubt in my mind that I would've bought these additions/improvements and thought this whole thing was using the original untouched footage. The improved light and color seems especially like a no-brainer; that's what the show should've looked like. You really brought it out of the muddiness. It's going to be interesting to see what you've done with the narrative structure underneath it all. I have to add that I really appreciate how much this video focuses on Sabine and Ahsoka, because by far my favorite part of the show was the Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati storyline. It brings me so much joy to know that all the other parts of the show that didn't resonate quite as much with me can now be seen in a more interesting light, and with a fresh coat of paint.
Hey Kai! Great job on this! The Ahsoka show desperately needed a few tweaks in the editing department. Thank you for cutting out so many awkward dialog bits and pauses. While I was a fan of this show and your version, I would, however, have to say books one and two of Boba Fett are my favorite of yours (amazing re-edit on that one!). You mentioned there is a three hour cut of Ahsoka and I feel if you would have split this into two parts like the Fett show, it would have worked as well. There were a few scenes I miss in your version (such as the E-Wings chasing Sabine on the speeder...it's a little jarring when they say she was just here at the celebration and it cuts to her back at home in a flash). The show has a natural two part feel to it with half being in our galaxy and the other half far, far away. Perhaps, if I saw your version first, I would not be missing the things that were cut, lol. I really enjoy your work and thank you for going through the creating process with this video. I am discovering more of your work on your channel and am truly impressed. Cheers!
The Shin eyes and line is my favorite edit so far. I've watched half so far. That line with your edit made me a believer in Shin being a formidable opponent .
Coming from a fellow editor: you are a very smart editor! You value consistency, flow, and continuity and working with less rather than shoving in more. ✨️✨️
Regarding “editing into the void”. Yes, many of the “small” edits (that still require lots of effort as you have shown in this video) do go unnoticed, because they are so seamless and high quality. But what doesn't go unnoticed is the effect those edits have on the overall pacing and the energy as you have called it.
It was good you cut out Ezra saying Sabine was like a sister to her. In Rebels, he doesnt say that at all in the holocron. In fact it was hinted in Rebels that they were romantically involved or leaning that way so it was shocking to hear “sister” in the Ahsoka series. A lot of people went “huh???”
Originally in the show Ezra likes Sabine but she doesn’t so he lets it go. But I like to think after his sacrifice she had more time for realize she liked him in a romantic way too. Be nuanced about it but I feel a romance would have been much more cinematically powerful
@@ZmbieTaco I thought more along the lines of “Sabine and Ahsoka need to be in a relationship, not Sabine and Ezra”. I bet that’s exactly why they did it.
Think you did a great job with this version. I really like the pacing of the whole movie and how you edited and sped up the lightsaber battles. Made it feel much more realistic. So often in Star Wars and many other movies the action is slowed down and makes it so unreal especially when it’s one character against multiple enemies. Keep up the great work!! Btw, I enjoyed your Kenobi movie as well.
Kai I just want to genuinely say THANK YOU! You have created Kenobi and now Ahsoka. These 2 movies will live in my rewatch catalogue for the rest of my life!! The shows were such a let down from Disney by the end I never wanted to rewatch them cause there was so much filler so THANK YOU for making new star wars movies for us !
Very cool breakdown. I'm surprised how many little VFX moments I would've never noticed until you pointed them out. Zooming to conceal the star map or replacement heads/hands - slick work! Looking forward to part 2. And hopefully The Acolyte Patterson Cut down the line?!
This is amazing. I'm so glad you did this also breakdown vids should be a thing for these shows so theres more accountability in terms of actual work done and thought process.
@@dontrellmayfieldjr2868 Yeah, even Pete knew this. He may not have watched Rebels. But then again, we did and we are in complete agreement this is the case.
Wow thank you so much for your HARD HARD WORK, I just watch your cut of the Ahsoka movie and I really REALLY enjoyed it. (Same for the Kenobi one!!) My only tiny cut that didn't work for me, you actually address it in your comments, is when Sebine is ready to go, talk to the cat and "cuts" to her in a meditation position - But hey, where's my cut someone could say hahaha. You really did a remarkable job, from a fan to fans - so thank you again very very much!!!
its amazing... i love ur work, watched show as it came out, watch this and hasnt the feeling to miss something so this video pops up and oh boy... its epic... u guess u can do something like this with the acolyte, so i would watch it until the end... ive stopped watch the show close to the end cause it was a pain in ass for me but there are some good points in the show and i think there is a lot of crap that dont need to be in the show. i hope u will take ur hands on that one that even fans of good stuff could watch it. uve done some good magic for the kenobi show (which i dont like and acolyte falls into the same spce) but after watching your cut... rly good thing. great job. i would also love that someone reaching out for you to help star wars in general. much love from germany
Thank you so much. This edit brought my faith back that good starwars can be created. The series was mediocre but your cut really made it a great movie. Not perfect but that's what the source material allowed for
love love love most of it buuuut that part 35:48 "wanna bet" was the best Hera moment in the whole series to me. That and the "he created over 20 of these recording lines" are sorely missed in an otherwise flawless version
watched it last night. Was far FAR better then the original. Although there was alotta stuff that couldnt really be salvaged you turned a mediocre turd into a above average viewing experience good job!
I mean just as simple as the change at 43:25 skipping past the awkward camera staring made me feel so much more engaged in the action, wouldn't have been able to put it to words if I hadn't been able to see it. The film/tv industry needs you hahaha
This is great work. Your vision helps to maintain some intensity without slowing down. I love the Rebels series, I love Ahsoka and Sabine, but they just seemed so sad and lethargic in their dialogue in the series.
I love a LOT of the changes here. It truly takes the "faster, more intense" meme of Lucas' directing, but that's genuinely what Star Wars IS. Even when it slows, when we pause, when we take a deep meditative breath in ANH, ESB, ROTS, wherever. A LOT of these shows fail to do that. And de-emphasizing the failed relationship & doing things like having their first meeting start with smiles does wonders to making the dynamic feel more like Rebels. So damn, kudos to a lot of those tweaks across the board. You've already tremendously refined things & improved it. And that's my ultimate issue with the show and even this fan edit: Sabine's Force sensitivity -- man do I wish it was removed. Had it been hinted at in that show, then I could accept it here, but it wasn't. We saw her & Ezra training, her wielding the blade, but it very clearly never alluded to any Force potential in spite of all that. I think Kanan says something like she "blocks the Force" but we know the Force is in all things. Chirrut to me is a great example of someone who isn't necessarily Force sensitive, but he doesn't block the Force out like Sabine was, he doesn't fight against it, he accepts it. "I am one with the Force, the Force is with me" and that's why he can accomplish his goals ultimately by having that give-and-take... but he's not really wielding it. That's what I took from Sabine in Rebels too. Even if you read more into that line, as well as Chirrut, it's still so minor of a thing that Rebels never actually explored that she still ultimately remained just a cool Mandalorian, by default. Unlike Leia who even in the OT is first alluded to in ESB's "there is another" line, then we see her actually connect with Luke mentally, and is then very explicitly told as much in ROTJ. Had ESB not teased another, had Leia not been shown to figure out where Luke was, and then Luke didn't say "you have that power too" and just went "you block/ignore the Force" then that is waaaay more abstract & if she suddenly became a Jedi years later, I'd be like "wait huh??" But that's not what happened. To me, it's yet another case of these shows "begging the question" -- it begs the question of why Kanan didn't decide to train Sabine, why Ahsoka never indicated her sensitivity in Rebels, and things of that nature. Why aren't we training Hera? Why not Han, Chewie, Din Djarin, Bo-Katan, all these other people? I'm also not sure what her being Force sensitive truly serves for the story. The story is about two entwined objectives: a family desperately searching for the lost member of the group who has been missing for so long, and a subsect of the New Republic desperately searching for the most dangerous threat to the NR's stability. Sabine's inclusion makes sense because she wants so badly to be reunited with Ezra. What exactly necessitated her being Force sensitive for that plotline rather than just getting to be an awesome graffiti-Mandalorian, exactly? Truly, what does it serve? Ultimately... all she ends up doing with it is *checks notes* augmenting a super awkward Force jump from Ezra. Wonderful /s.
You broke down exactly why Force!Sensitive Sabine annoys me lol. People have been backreading "hints" about it into Rebels in light of Ahsoka, but it simply WAS NOT THERE at the outset, no one who was watching Rebels seriously thought it was a thing, no one in production hinted at it being a thing. If it was supposed to be a thing in Rebels it was buried so deeply in Filoni's head that it never made it out to the other parts of the creative team. And if *anyone* can channel the Force with the right mindset, the right training, enough hard work and determination (as Ahsoka seems to hint), that actually breaks the lore in several frustrating ways. Like, Palpatine obviously wouldn't want a bunch of people running around that can use the Force that are not him, but in the stories and material we have, he only specifically targets Force Sensitives AKA people over a certain genetic or biological threshold for potential to connect to the Force. But you're telling me that people wouldn't be able to figure it out, even without formal training from a Jedi or Sith? There wouldn't be dozens of low level Sensitives running around the galaxy performing minor untrained or self-trained feats, or someone dedicating their lives to the study wouldn't eventually have a breakthrough from "can't connect" to "can connect"? You're telling me the underbelly of the GFFA wouldn't LEAP at the chance to use Dark Side powers, if they knew it was possible to access with enough hard work? There is so much scaffolding that has to be built from the ground up to support the idea that a person can go from Non-Sensitive to Sensitive just by trying and training hard enough with the right mindset. Like, I know people hate the midichlorians for "demystifying" the Force but what even makes being a Force user special, if anyone can do it because "the Force is in all things"? And Ezra should have totally been able to make that jump on his own, we saw him do it in the series, he didn't NEED Sabine and it was so contrived that she didn't have her jetpack on her.
Just finished watching it and I love your movie cut of the series, Thank you Kai, I love the new Star Wars TV series... Mostly (Acolshite) Cough!... But most of them have so much filler and padding to make up the amount of time needed to fill eight episodes, but your fan edit into one or two movies are much better paced and feel much more in sync with the original trilogies
from the beginning with making a figure available of every single character background and foreground Star Wars invited us to take creative ownership of these stories and play in and interpret them ourselves as kids and it makes sense we'd explore this as adults too. Ahsoka was a decent show that suffered from pacing issues, so this was not just worth exploring because of the quality of the show, but I think the culture of Star Wars invites it.
Hey Kai. Idk if you’ll see this but I wanted to say that as both a huge Star Wars fan and an aspiring filmmaker, you have been a huge inspiration to me over the years and I just wanted to thank you for your efforts. Keep up the amazing work and May the Force be with you ❤
Great work! Yeah, the “abrupt” moment you talk about I noticed. It wasn’t the cut, it was more the emotional component. We get the impression there is tension between Ahsoka and reluctance from Sabine, and the shift to her suddenly starting this journey and venturing out felt…unearned.
@@kaipattersonfilms For the record I know it’s easy to criticize and as an (amateur) writer my brain goes to story and therefore I wanted to comment on this. That being said I am unbelievably impressed and appreciative of your skill, hard work and generosity. 🤩🙏🏽
Amazing job. I think you did the best possible job to cut this show to 2.5 hours. The pacing is too fast in some parts, characters are not fully introduced and there isn’t time to breathe. But the plot if the made it impossible, unless you cut out alot of action scenes. This probably would have to be 3.5 hours long for perfect pacing but I understand that is too long
Your work is amazing. I loved Ahsoka, Mandalorian and ESPECIALLY Andor, and thought Kenobi was somewhat of a let down. But, they were not BAD and edits like yours show how great they can be. Side note, the "grey" of the newer star wars for some reason appeals to me. It HEAVILY depends on context, but I watched every Andor episode early in the morning before work when it was cold outside and it was SO cozy. And the color grading helped with that for some reason.
I couldn't finish watching the original show cause i didn't feel like it at the time, it felt like it was going on for too long. This movie did it for me. I got the gist of the story and actually enjoyed it! I think it came out really well and everything in it made sense. The scene with Anakin and Ahsoka was already one of my favourite interactions in the series and you only improved on it, since some of the dialogue did not make sense or was confusing. I loved the pacing in your edit and all the changes you made were, as far as my opinion goes, more than justified.
Just finished watching this breakdown. I want to say thanks for the amount of effort you put into this. You’ve made two Disney+ shows I wanted to enjoy, not only watchable, but true Star Wars films.
One thing with the star map taking so long to break - a few scenes before, Sabine had the map at blaster point. Which the audience assumes would destroy it in one shot so it really begs the question why did it take so long with a LIGHTSABERRR.
You did a fantastic job and I loved your movie edit of this show even more than your Obi Wan edit. Really appreciate the work you do. I don’t think anyone can save The Acolyte though!
I feel like, and this isn't meant as a disrespect in fact the opposite, passion or "portfolio projects" are often some of the most fun things I've seen and as a hobby editor like this the most fun to do. Great work. Currently at Correllia and literally the only complaints I have are I wish you had more shots to work with. the source material is fighting you in some parts and that's not something you can help at all. I really hope we can see more cuts from you because this was fantastic. 10/10 I will only watch Ashoka like this now
Damn I didn't even realise how much you changed. I thought it was mostly editing. Seriously great work. The only critisism still remains using AAC for 5.1 sound, because it's simply not usable for a lot of people.
So much well done to change it into a more fun viewing. Thank you so much. Especially the banter and pacing. It works so well in Rebels but the age change makes it unbelievable in the Plus show. A couple fight scenes I liked better in the show as it followed a more samurai-movie style pacing but I get it for the feature length and your preference. Didn't take anything away. Especially in combination with other aspects. Biggest issue I had was colorization. Ahsoka relatedchanges were perfect. Loved the colorization in Lothal. But not everything needed brightening and color adjustment with specific examples of Seatos and Peridea. Bleakness and tone also gets pulled subconsciously through those choices. I felt like I lost that feeling that they are diving into the unknown and the visuals should include us in that feeling as we enter these locations.
Bro I just downloaded your film it was the first time I have ever downloaded a fan film and your edit was incredible it’s definitely better the tv show
Thanks!

You're not "editing into the void." There are plenty of fans who appreciate what you do and the effort you put into it. With this video, we truly acknowledge the hard work that went into it. Bravo.
Yes without being paid he went above and beyond. Not just editing but recreating a lot of the scenes to give them more emotional weight
Definetly, I'm one of those fans. very excited to see how this cut turns out, as I only just heard of this about 3 mins before commenting

I was actually blown away by that
Superb
DAMN, yeah that AD i got was peak
You fixed all of the issues I had with how ahsoka moved when fighting. I loved this ❤
Whan one of my favorite changes in your cut is the addition of Anakin's theme from John Williams! One of the best SW themes ever! Can't wait for Part 2 of your breakdown.
11:50 I do prefer seeing lightning before hearing the thunder in movies.
Adds realism with a sense of distance, and even a moment of anticipation.

@@Hello-bi1pmthey can’t afford to.
@@Matt-bg5wg then it's not really a TV show anymore, it's a scam
How can I watch the full movie?
@@AndreNitroX look at description
In regards to the Ezra/Sabine thing...that implication is absolutely in Rebels as well. The two have a strong dynamic, and Sabine is clearly the closest relationship that Ezra has of the crew, even stronger than his bond with Kanan, who is his mentor. It very much reflects the dynamic that Kanan and Hera have, which is directly romantic.
Added to the contrast that watching Rebels gives you, because one knows that Sabine cares deeply for everyone she considers her family, whether it's the Ghost crew or her family on Mandalore. Quoting Sabine herself in episode 1 when she says to Ahsoka, 'Do you really think Ezra is still out there?' implying that she believed him to be dead and was mourning him... knowing that her family on Mandalore is dead, including her BLOOD BROTHER, and she has on the toolbox in the corner the ONE memory of them, compared to the memory of Ezra, which surrounds her everywhere... let's say that what Filoni shows doesn't quite align with his narrative.
@@guzm9120 I'm not sure if "doesn't align" is accurate...I think more accurately, he demonstrates that people's actions speak louder than their words. People don't always say what they mean, out of fear, embarrassment, or perhaps not even knowing their true feelings. Filoni displays depth to his characters in how their actions show their true feelings even when they cannot recognize those feelings themselves.
Yeah I also agree I find it weird that they cut their relationship down to brother and sister type stuff. I feel like they did that because they thought it'd be weird for new viewers?
But even they should have kept the relationship leaning more towards romantic interest because it makes a much more compelling to an audience that knows neither of these characters or the events of Rebels.
47:00 Quick note from a movie first watcher (yes, I'm the one who also commented on the Instagram post): if I'm not mistaken, at this point in the movie we as the audience don't know yet that Huyang can be a valuable asset in a fight or as a pilot. So while it might have been an oversight from Ahsoka we wouldn't become aware of it until later in the story or during a rewatch. I for one didn't notice anything until you mentioned it.
Oh and another possible in-universe explanation: communicating with Huyang would've taken more time than telling Hera to get the Phantom. And I guess that Ahsoka assumed she could reach the transport herself first if she acted quickly, which she nearly did, had she not been caught in a fight. So the Phantom (or alternatively her ship) was more like a backup.
Also who knows what Huyang was up to in the meantime. Maybe he was off the ship on a mission doing his own research about the operations in this facility.
This is a very good point, thanks for pointing it out. It does make sense this way!
Well done! Please make a part 2 I love you over analyzing your own work. The power of editing is truly amazing. I agreed with every decision you made to improve the pacing and remove unnecessary dialogue or scenes that went no where. I still feel the show has potential but I love your movie more.
This is amazing Kai, thanks for taking the time to explain all your improvements, many I was not even aware of after watching Star Wars: Ahsoka [The Patterson Cut] multiple times. I feel a screen wipe style cut would easily fix the abrupt cut just before Sabine cuts her hair. Looking forward to part 2!
@@sgscobie that’s how I had it actually for a long time but eventually decided on the hard cut because I found it more powerful that way.

Dude this re-edit is SO GOOD! For me it made the show into something that really feels like a more concise and therefore higher quality star wars story. Thank you so much for this, some things I was saying to myself while watching the Disney+ version you actually did here!
And I watched both the og Ahsoka and Obi Wan shows on Disney+ first, hopefully doing that can ensure more of this great work from you in the future without Disney going order 66 on your ass. I really can't express how grateful I am that you have done this for the fans/community, really makes Star Wars feel alive again. Especially after the disaster that was Acolyte.
I really hope that people involved with Star Wars will one day see that this is what it can be like. After all, the core of this was in the original. It was just messy and drawn out in order to fit the TV series format which ultimately caused problems for the story as a whole.
Holy shit. I have to admit that I watched this video before I saw ther final product and holy shit, you deliverd, you cooked real good here my guy. I had some issues with the show and you fixed every aspect. No wierd pacing, no stupid desicions. This is how it should have released. You have some serious talent and I'm really interested in whatever you are doing next!
the training sequence differences are my favorite
You are a genius! Never quit or give up, no matter what anyone tells you! Well done!
Me and my partner just watched this cut last night, and were AMAZED by the changes. The color, the added and the removed dialogue, the choices for pacing were so impressive! It's been a while since we watched the series, so some scenes that were cut weren't even noticeably missing, and it made the narrative flow even better! It felt more like Ahsoka's story, while also improving Sabine's screen time. As a lowly editor, I am so inspired by your work! Thank you for bringing this to the fandom! This has quickly become the favored option for re-watching Ahsoka.
Business partner?
I don't know if you'll read this, but thank you for doing all of this, not just the work to edit but then to show the breakdown and explain your thinking. I really wish this level of thought, intentionality and reason was put into the projects at Lucasfilm. These Disney projects have money but lack passion. If 1-2 people can sit in their house and improve a hundred million dollar project then something is really wrong at Disney. The hard creative work you put in is proof to us all that passion was indeed the missing ingredient.
It’s incredible how far the passion of fans will take them and yet the corporate overlords who want our money can’t even muster even half of that creativity which is pretty simple to understand but they refuse too.
Love this, it was great what you did for this show. This is the only way I will watch this show now. Can’t wait for part 2!
This is master of fan editing. Insane stuff. Well done Kai!
Phenomenal job with the cut and loving every second of this breakdown 🫡
Disney NEEDS to hire this guy! What an eye for editing! Loved the brighter colours, the faster pace, side characters actually having meaning cause it’s not stretched out. Absolutely banging edit! Highly recommend!!
I just finished the film. Absolutely amazing from beginning to end. A classic.
You've done the impossible, sir.
I'm actually looking forward to Season 2.
I am super looking forward to it more because of this edit
Just wanted to let you know. I have watched your obi-wan movie 3 times now. You have done a fantastic job and I can't wait to watch the Ahsoka movie. I constantly tell my friends about your movie and they love it too. Your work definitely does not go unnoticed. Thank you for everything that you do. Cheers, mate!
Dude, this is epic so much better than the original cut
If this guy manages to save "the Acolyte" he would deserve a novel award...😮
I think there is no saving the acolyte. Not even with Kai Patterson. It’s that bad.
They would need to:
1) Specify the motivation of the characters
2) Make the sense
3) Bring actual argument against the Jedi Order instead of one event which was based on everything Jedi were against and they were blameless for insanity for what happened.
Pal I don't think an act of god could save that wreck
Lol, can’t resurrect rotten milk
@@StarlingInSpace damn right
This is your best work yet!! You redeemed the show! Amazing work and thoughtfulness! I wish Disney Star wars hires you, they need all the help they can get!
You did a masterful job. You have done more to keep Star Wars alive than many of the actual professionals at Disney
I'm 11 minutes into this, hadn't seen your cut yet, and am already going to download your cut and watch it before returning. You made the same kind of edits I feel like I would have if I had a fraction of your dedication to this project, which I'm sure the majority of the commenters also feel, and god we need so much more of that kind of pacing and "show don't tell" in Star Wars right now. It's funny but also saddening to see even some of the poorer-received episodes of The Clone Wars blowing away the high-budget Disney live-action projects.
We finally get to see the changes you made to turn this series into a film into a unique experience.
The three changes I immediately noticed was the removal of Sabine surviving a lightsaber stabbing, the removal of Sabine's "motorcycle" scene, a scene which I felt was a ripoff of a similar scene in Top Gun and Shin's yellow Sith eyes. I ❤ these changes and liked your movie. I also appreciate the hard work you put into it.
Wow! This is so interesting to see. I haven’t watched your Ahsoka movie yet but after watching this, I’ll definitely check it out! Even if I admittedly hated the series and didn’t wanna revisit it in anyway. But as an editor myself I do appreciate all the work you put into this and that you really show how clever editing can completely turn something boring around and that is without necessarily having a bunch of really fast cuts and stuff. And it also shows very well just how much empty air and unnecessary stuff there actually is in this show. Anyways can’t wait for part 2!!
Filoni needs to hire you as a Star Wars consultant and editor! Great cut.
Yeah.
He's not a bright guy, so he alone needs to go.
@@mazkeraid4039 That would've been a good excuse. If you ask me, this was all intentional self sabtodge.
Phew, I just finished the show, and it was sooo good! I’m definitely going to watch this breakdown again tomorrow. I loved everything you did here. The best part for me was the new music and how you emphasized the old ones. I don’t know why shows today don’t have really good music anymore, but what you did here is clearly noticeable and made the whole movie much better.
I got the feelingof Star Wars again, similar to the feeling I get when playing SWTOR. The fun, adventure, and mystery are all in the music, and they really take the scenes to another level. While the original had some good tracks, they were never loud enough somehow.
I'm out of words to explain, but I just want to say that I LOVE IT and THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing this. May the Force be with you!
Loved seeing all the little changes and big ones too!)!!! This was amazing!!! Looking forward to Part 2!!! Thanks!!
Watching more, I must say, you are hitting all the "problems" I had with the movie. thank you 🤩🤩🤩
Well done, Kai! Your rendition of this show is fantastic. This and your other Star Wars projects are brilliant, and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Congratulations!
This breakdown is a dream for fan edit enthusiasts such as myself. I've listened to a few fan edit audio commentaries but they always felt lacking in detail and never really got into how things were done (can't blame them too much since they have to keep up with the movie), whereas this gets into not just the how but also the why. I'll be checking out the edit and then get back to this video, but for now I'll say: I haven't seen the show since it aired, and on a visual/sound level, there's no doubt in my mind that I would've bought these additions/improvements and thought this whole thing was using the original untouched footage. The improved light and color seems especially like a no-brainer; that's what the show should've looked like. You really brought it out of the muddiness. It's going to be interesting to see what you've done with the narrative structure underneath it all.
I have to add that I really appreciate how much this video focuses on Sabine and Ahsoka, because by far my favorite part of the show was the Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati storyline. It brings me so much joy to know that all the other parts of the show that didn't resonate quite as much with me can now be seen in a more interesting light, and with a fresh coat of paint.
Amazing edits. I think the pacing is more story and character focused that any of the Star Wars shows. Well done!
Hey Kai! Great job on this! The Ahsoka show desperately needed a few tweaks in the editing department. Thank you for cutting out so many awkward dialog bits and pauses. While I was a fan of this show and your version, I would, however, have to say books one and two of Boba Fett are my favorite of yours (amazing re-edit on that one!). You mentioned there is a three hour cut of Ahsoka and I feel if you would have split this into two parts like the Fett show, it would have worked as well. There were a few scenes I miss in your version (such as the E-Wings chasing Sabine on the speeder...it's a little jarring when they say she was just here at the celebration and it cuts to her back at home in a flash). The show has a natural two part feel to it with half being in our galaxy and the other half far, far away. Perhaps, if I saw your version first, I would not be missing the things that were cut, lol. I really enjoy your work and thank you for going through the creating process with this video. I am discovering more of your work on your channel and am truly impressed. Cheers!
This is seriously impressive work
The Shin eyes and line is my favorite edit so far. I've watched half so far. That line with your edit made me a believer in Shin being a formidable opponent .
Coming from a fellow editor: you are a very smart editor! You value consistency, flow, and continuity and working with less rather than shoving in more. ✨️✨️
Regarding “editing into the void”. Yes, many of the “small” edits (that still require lots of effort as you have shown in this video) do go unnoticed, because they are so seamless and high quality. But what doesn't go unnoticed is the effect those edits have on the overall pacing and the energy as you have called it.
Amazing work! I love all the visual effect changes and cut choices. I love this stuff.
It was good you cut out Ezra saying Sabine was like a sister to her. In Rebels, he doesnt say that at all in the holocron. In fact it was hinted in Rebels that they were romantically involved or leaning that way so it was shocking to hear “sister” in the Ahsoka series. A lot of people went “huh???”
Originally in the show Ezra likes Sabine but she doesn’t so he lets it go. But I like to think after his sacrifice she had more time for realize she liked him in a romantic way too. Be nuanced about it but I feel a romance would have been much more cinematically powerful
I wonder if adding that line was intentional with how degenerate Hollywood is
@@ZmbieTaco I thought more along the lines of “Sabine and Ahsoka need to be in a relationship, not Sabine and Ezra”. I bet that’s exactly why they did it.
@@pduidesignthat’s disgusting, I really thought Ezra and Sabine were going to be lovers
You actually made the show much better and improved the clarity of some scenes, really good job. I hope you keep making these!
This is a masterclass in editing.
Thanks a lot for this edit, I've re-watched the show with my friends and it felt like a movie ! 😉
Think you did a great job with this version. I really like the pacing of the whole movie and how you edited and sped up the lightsaber battles. Made it feel much more realistic. So often in Star Wars and many other movies the action is slowed down and makes it so unreal especially when it’s one character against multiple enemies. Keep up the great work!! Btw, I enjoyed your Kenobi movie as well.
Also, forgot to mention, really liked the addition of the Malachor V temple backdrop in final scene of world between worlds. Nice touch!
Just finished watching the fan film and couldn't wait to see how the magic happened. Well done from an OG GL Star Wars refugee!!
Kai I just want to genuinely say THANK YOU! You have created Kenobi and now Ahsoka. These 2 movies will live in my rewatch catalogue for the rest of my life!! The shows were such a let down from Disney by the end I never wanted to rewatch them cause there was so much filler so THANK YOU for making new star wars movies for us !
THANK YOU for all of these fan edits. They really do stand a cut above. Cheers!
Very cool breakdown. I'm surprised how many little VFX moments I would've never noticed until you pointed them out. Zooming to conceal the star map or replacement heads/hands - slick work! Looking forward to part 2. And hopefully The Acolyte Patterson Cut down the line?!
This is amazing. I'm so glad you did this also breakdown vids should be a thing for these shows so theres more accountability in terms of actual work done and thought process.
Thank you Pete for listening, further empathizing the romantic undertones between Ezra and Sabine.
And we knew they love each other. They are not siblings at all… a lot of those people don’t understand for nothing
@@dontrellmayfieldjr2868 Yeah, even Pete knew this. He may not have watched Rebels. But then again, we did and we are in complete agreement this is the case.
Am I supposed to be Pete? Who is Pete? 😂
Thank you for doing a near exact breakdown. This is awesome. Worth the watch.
I was thinking I wouldn't find this interesting, but I was wrong. Really appreciate your thought process on a lot of these things.
Wow thank you so much for your HARD HARD WORK, I just watch your cut of the Ahsoka movie and I really REALLY enjoyed it. (Same for the Kenobi one!!) My only tiny cut that didn't work for me, you actually address it in your comments, is when Sebine is ready to go, talk to the cat and "cuts" to her in a meditation position - But hey, where's my cut someone could say hahaha. You really did a remarkable job, from a fan to fans - so thank you again very very much!!!
Giving Shin Sith eyes is amazing 🤩
The force is with you, Patterson!
its amazing... i love ur work, watched show as it came out, watch this and hasnt the feeling to miss something so this video pops up and oh boy... its epic... u guess u can do something like this with the acolyte, so i would watch it until the end... ive stopped watch the show close to the end cause it was a pain in ass for me but there are some good points in the show and i think there is a lot of crap that dont need to be in the show. i hope u will take ur hands on that one that even fans of good stuff could watch it. uve done some good magic for the kenobi show (which i dont like and acolyte falls into the same spce) but after watching your cut... rly good thing. great job. i would also love that someone reaching out for you to help star wars in general. much love from germany
33:00 give this man an award 🙌
I'm really glad we have you, KP
Thank you so much. This edit brought my faith back that good starwars can be created. The series was mediocre but your cut really made it a great movie. Not perfect but that's what the source material allowed for
Surprised at how many of the small changes I missed. Well done.
I loved your Kenobi cut! I'm so excited to watch this one
"Save the Acolyte Obiwan-Patterson, your our only hope!"
love love love most of it buuuut that part 35:48 "wanna bet" was the best Hera moment in the whole series to me. That and the "he created over 20 of these recording lines" are sorely missed in an otherwise flawless version
watched it last night. Was far FAR better then the original. Although there was alotta stuff that couldnt really be salvaged you turned a mediocre turd into a above average viewing experience good job!
You can’t be serious…
I mean just as simple as the change at 43:25 skipping past the awkward camera staring made me feel so much more engaged in the action, wouldn't have been able to put it to words if I hadn't been able to see it. The film/tv industry needs you hahaha
This is great work. Your vision helps to maintain some intensity without slowing down. I love the Rebels series, I love Ahsoka and Sabine, but they just seemed so sad and lethargic in their dialogue in the series.
Well they were sad…
Honestly dude, next time I do my Star Wars movie rewatch, I'll for sure add your cuts of Kenobi and Asohka to the watchlist!
I love a LOT of the changes here. It truly takes the "faster, more intense" meme of Lucas' directing, but that's genuinely what Star Wars IS. Even when it slows, when we pause, when we take a deep meditative breath in ANH, ESB, ROTS, wherever. A LOT of these shows fail to do that. And de-emphasizing the failed relationship & doing things like having their first meeting start with smiles does wonders to making the dynamic feel more like Rebels. So damn, kudos to a lot of those tweaks across the board. You've already tremendously refined things & improved it.
And that's my ultimate issue with the show and even this fan edit: Sabine's Force sensitivity -- man do I wish it was removed. Had it been hinted at in that show, then I could accept it here, but it wasn't. We saw her & Ezra training, her wielding the blade, but it very clearly never alluded to any Force potential in spite of all that. I think Kanan says something like she "blocks the Force" but we know the Force is in all things. Chirrut to me is a great example of someone who isn't necessarily Force sensitive, but he doesn't block the Force out like Sabine was, he doesn't fight against it, he accepts it. "I am one with the Force, the Force is with me" and that's why he can accomplish his goals ultimately by having that give-and-take... but he's not really wielding it. That's what I took from Sabine in Rebels too.
Even if you read more into that line, as well as Chirrut, it's still so minor of a thing that Rebels never actually explored that she still ultimately remained just a cool Mandalorian, by default. Unlike Leia who even in the OT is first alluded to in ESB's "there is another" line, then we see her actually connect with Luke mentally, and is then very explicitly told as much in ROTJ. Had ESB not teased another, had Leia not been shown to figure out where Luke was, and then Luke didn't say "you have that power too" and just went "you block/ignore the Force" then that is waaaay more abstract & if she suddenly became a Jedi years later, I'd be like "wait huh??" But that's not what happened. To me, it's yet another case of these shows "begging the question" -- it begs the question of why Kanan didn't decide to train Sabine, why Ahsoka never indicated her sensitivity in Rebels, and things of that nature. Why aren't we training Hera? Why not Han, Chewie, Din Djarin, Bo-Katan, all these other people?
I'm also not sure what her being Force sensitive truly serves for the story. The story is about two entwined objectives: a family desperately searching for the lost member of the group who has been missing for so long, and a subsect of the New Republic desperately searching for the most dangerous threat to the NR's stability. Sabine's inclusion makes sense because she wants so badly to be reunited with Ezra. What exactly necessitated her being Force sensitive for that plotline rather than just getting to be an awesome graffiti-Mandalorian, exactly? Truly, what does it serve? Ultimately... all she ends up doing with it is *checks notes* augmenting a super awkward Force jump from Ezra. Wonderful /s.
You broke down exactly why Force!Sensitive Sabine annoys me lol.
People have been backreading "hints" about it into Rebels in light of Ahsoka, but it simply WAS NOT THERE at the outset, no one who was watching Rebels seriously thought it was a thing, no one in production hinted at it being a thing. If it was supposed to be a thing in Rebels it was buried so deeply in Filoni's head that it never made it out to the other parts of the creative team.
And if *anyone* can channel the Force with the right mindset, the right training, enough hard work and determination (as Ahsoka seems to hint), that actually breaks the lore in several frustrating ways. Like, Palpatine obviously wouldn't want a bunch of people running around that can use the Force that are not him, but in the stories and material we have, he only specifically targets Force Sensitives AKA people over a certain genetic or biological threshold for potential to connect to the Force. But you're telling me that people wouldn't be able to figure it out, even without formal training from a Jedi or Sith? There wouldn't be dozens of low level Sensitives running around the galaxy performing minor untrained or self-trained feats, or someone dedicating their lives to the study wouldn't eventually have a breakthrough from "can't connect" to "can connect"? You're telling me the underbelly of the GFFA wouldn't LEAP at the chance to use Dark Side powers, if they knew it was possible to access with enough hard work?
There is so much scaffolding that has to be built from the ground up to support the idea that a person can go from Non-Sensitive to Sensitive just by trying and training hard enough with the right mindset. Like, I know people hate the midichlorians for "demystifying" the Force but what even makes being a Force user special, if anyone can do it because "the Force is in all things"?
And Ezra should have totally been able to make that jump on his own, we saw him do it in the series, he didn't NEED Sabine and it was so contrived that she didn't have her jetpack on her.
Just finished watching it and I love your movie cut of the series, Thank you Kai, I love the new Star Wars TV series... Mostly (Acolshite) Cough!... But most of them have so much filler and padding to make up the amount of time needed to fill eight episodes, but your fan edit into one or two movies are much better paced and feel much more in sync with the original trilogies
from the beginning with making a figure available of every single character background and foreground Star Wars invited us to take creative ownership of these stories and play in and interpret them ourselves as kids and it makes sense we'd explore this as adults too. Ahsoka was a decent show that suffered from pacing issues, so this was not just worth exploring because of the quality of the show, but I think the culture of Star Wars invites it.
Hey Kai. Idk if you’ll see this but I wanted to say that as both a huge Star Wars fan and an aspiring filmmaker, you have been a huge inspiration to me over the years and I just wanted to thank you for your efforts. Keep up the amazing work and May the Force be with you ❤
Awesome work
You're an inspiration, my man
Keep doing what you love !
one guy works for free as an editor. ONE. GUY.
I enjoyed the series but just watched your edit and its so much easier to watch. Thankyou
Great work!
Yeah, the “abrupt” moment you talk about I noticed. It wasn’t the cut, it was more the emotional component. We get the impression there is tension between Ahsoka and reluctance from Sabine, and the shift to her suddenly starting this journey and venturing out felt…unearned.
@@VincenzoSZ very fair feedback here
@@kaipattersonfilms For the record I know it’s easy to criticize and as an (amateur) writer my brain goes to story and therefore I wanted to comment on this.
That being said I am unbelievably impressed and appreciative of your skill, hard work and generosity. 🤩🙏🏽
@@VincenzoSZ don’t minimize your feedback, it was very well thought out and you made a great point. Thanks for sharing!
I liked too much of Ahsoka to see so much be cut out 😢 but damnit KP edits are so legit I will give it a shot!
@@Matt-bg5wg well good thing you can always boot up Disney plus and watch the whole show there 🙌🏼
Amazing job. I think you did the best possible job to cut this show to 2.5 hours. The pacing is too fast in some parts, characters are not fully introduced and there isn’t time to breathe. But the plot if the made it impossible, unless you cut out alot of action scenes. This probably would have to be 3.5 hours long for perfect pacing but I understand that is too long
Ive watched ahsoka twice. Im watching this before I watch your cut. I wana make sure I know all you've done before I dive into the movie edit.
Your work is amazing. I loved Ahsoka, Mandalorian and ESPECIALLY Andor, and thought Kenobi was somewhat of a let down. But, they were not BAD and edits like yours show how great they can be.
Side note, the "grey" of the newer star wars for some reason appeals to me. It HEAVILY depends on context, but I watched every Andor episode early in the morning before work when it was cold outside and it was SO cozy. And the color grading helped with that for some reason.
I couldn't finish watching the original show cause i didn't feel like it at the time, it felt like it was going on for too long. This movie did it for me. I got the gist of the story and actually enjoyed it! I think it came out really well and everything in it made sense. The scene with Anakin and Ahsoka was already one of my favourite interactions in the series and you only improved on it, since some of the dialogue did not make sense or was confusing. I loved the pacing in your edit and all the changes you made were, as far as my opinion goes, more than justified.
Fascinating to come off watching The Phantom Menace BTS and see those same techniques pioneered now being used by the fans.
Amazing job, so much better. My only ask would be to include a few seconds of Jason hearing lightsabers and then, if he says it in the show, “mom?”
Just finished watching this breakdown. I want to say thanks for the amount of effort you put into this. You’ve made two Disney+ shows I wanted to enjoy, not only watchable, but true Star Wars films.
Well i seen it yesterday and i have to say its well done.I love the series to but this was top notch.
One thing with the star map taking so long to break - a few scenes before, Sabine had the map at blaster point. Which the audience assumes would destroy it in one shot so it really begs the question why did it take so long with a LIGHTSABERRR.
You did a fantastic job and I loved your movie edit of this show even more than your Obi Wan edit. Really appreciate the work you do.
I don’t think anyone can save The Acolyte though!
I feel like, and this isn't meant as a disrespect in fact the opposite, passion or "portfolio projects" are often some of the most fun things I've seen and as a hobby editor like this the most fun to do. Great work. Currently at Correllia and literally the only complaints I have are I wish you had more shots to work with. the source material is fighting you in some parts and that's not something you can help at all. I really hope we can see more cuts from you because this was fantastic.
10/10 I will only watch Ashoka like this now
So cool to see all this
Damn I didn't even realise how much you changed. I thought it was mostly editing. Seriously great work. The only critisism still remains using AAC for 5.1 sound, because it's simply not usable for a lot of people.
Looks great Kai!! Thank you for this!!
So much well done to change it into a more fun viewing. Thank you so much. Especially the banter and pacing. It works so well in Rebels but the age change makes it unbelievable in the Plus show.
A couple fight scenes I liked better in the show as it followed a more samurai-movie style pacing but I get it for the feature length and your preference. Didn't take anything away. Especially in combination with other aspects.
Biggest issue I had was colorization. Ahsoka relatedchanges were perfect. Loved the colorization in Lothal. But not everything needed brightening and color adjustment with specific examples of Seatos and Peridea. Bleakness and tone also gets pulled subconsciously through those choices. I felt like I lost that feeling that they are diving into the unknown and the visuals should include us in that feeling as we enter these locations.
I didn’t know this even existed 😯 can’t wait to give this a watch. Just got a subscription right there 😄
Bro I just downloaded your film it was the first time I have ever downloaded a fan film and your edit was incredible it’s definitely better the tv show
