Is sad that Carl passed away. Mando won't be the same without him.

Rest In Peace to Carl Weathers, what a legendary actor

It's been a year already? How time flies.

Way better. They need to hire you as a writer. I might need your help on this own project I'm working on.

Both of these rewrites are perfect! Love the added motivation and thematic cores. Everything is streamlined and/or enhanced so well

I've had this idea for the BOBF for a while. The idea is that while still with the Tuskans Boba travels to Mos Eisley and speaks with a contact from the Bounty Hunters Guild expecting their help getting his ship and armor back. They refuse citing that, due to what happened on the sand barge, Boba's reputation has tanked (a meta joke on the subset of star wars fans who think Boba is a blowhard) and they won't help him. Boba left with no choice but to return to the Tuskens. This scene would show the harsh difference between the communal lifestyle of the Tuskans and the exploitive Bounty Hunting life.

"...oh how heroes matter to the children that rescue them" 33:40 ish, this line actually was really impactful, and would have been so much better had we seen it. I genuinely got chills thinking about your rewrite of ep 4 and how it could've been amazing

The cancelation of rangers of the new republic is what screwed Mando season 3, they had to insert those world building stories into the mandalorian.

Mandalorian season 3 was disappointing, however when I re-watched it, I gained an appreciation for what it was trying to be and I actually really enjoyed it. I think that a season 4 (which probably won't happen) could return a lot of what season 1 was like and really sell the series to the ones who didn't enjoy season 3. RIP Carl Weathers

A little cheesy but better than what we got. A little suggestion for the ending. Make the acceptance of each other at the end reluctant and awkward. Show a helmet mando talking to one without but obviously not liking it. Show that they still have a ways to go, but its already headed that way. It will feel more real that way.

What disappointed me was the fact that there was a mandalorean fleet but did nothing. With it.

R.I.P. Carl Weathers

This could've been one of the most epic things in Star Wars. Bo's mistakes, factions uniting for once, taking back Mandalore, defeating Moff Gideon. Yet there was just so much SPACE(No pun intended) between stretched out plot points and hard to watch fluff to get from Point A to Point B that's almost downright random. What a shame... Ironic. They could save SW from the sequels... but not themselves. I'll see myself out now.

This is great! Always so inspirational for my re-edits!

We see his far improved CGI face

You got me more invested in 10 minutes than BOBF did in multiple episodes. I like how you still allowed Boba to evolve while maintaining his ruthlessness. Before, he hunted people for money, now he does it to avenge the family he lost. Powerful stuff! Overall a very smart and effective rewrite, well done!

Was waiting for this! Interested to see how you would rewrite the season! IMHO I think Din and Grogu went to Mandalore way too early. That should've been saved for a different episode.

Tbh I never really understood the hate for season 3 I thought it was great not the best but pretty good

Perfect! This is now my head canon (especially The Book of Boba Fett part!) and I have no regrets.

This was what was missing from BoBF and Mando S3-character arcs! I love the idea of Boba being a reformed anti-hero, but they didn't show how he GOT there. Mando and Grogu's arc was set up quite well to be how family can be more important than the rigid expectations of their respective cultures, but they kinda pooped that away by having them reunite BEFORE those rigid expectations reached a boiling point. Bo Katan and her people needed to have the seeds planted that the Dark Sabre was not what made her a leader before it was destroyed. The only thing I would add to your rewrite is making the Mythosaur mean something. They talk about it back during season 1, it is the symbol of Mando's people. Have the old one wake up and come out during the final battle, cause havoc, and Mando maybe gets a chance to be a little Force sensitive and uses that to tame the beast similarly to how he saw Grogu handle the mudhorn in season 1. This would solidify Din Djarin as a true legendary Mandalorian hero in the sense of taming a Mythosaur, but his method of doing it flies in the face of Mandalorian tradition by using the Force. An epic moment to solidify the themes that he is one of the most powerful of his kind BECAUSE he is able to embrace the non-traditional. Then let him and Grogu live happily ever after in their little hut as the outliers of the galaxy.

as usual, your rewrites are way better than the finished product. great vid!

Actual character growth? Awesome. More logical structure, better use of some characters..., 9/10, the show is 3/10 for me so you're doing a better job than their writersroom👍 Also I love how you write Fett as a pissed off killer at the start that's slowly turning to a more pleasant individual. My biggest problem with that? Mando already did that in season 1-2.

One thing I would’ve added is that in the last episode the amndolorians would give bo katan the dark sander saying “this belongs to you now” only for bo katan to through it in the fire

It makes me kinda sad that we will never see this Version

this is a great rewrite! its a more solid plot with more character driven story beats, and gives more believable justification for certain fanservice. its much better paced too! granted its not just a rewrite that BoBF and Mando Season 3 needs, but a seriously reshooting so its less visually bland, rewritten dialogue to sound less cringe, and a large redo of many special effects (all the aliens are so... stiff, in their body language and their faces), and imo better directing will fix the other 80% that needs improving.

I would make a small edit myself to the mid credit scene at the end, i think ahsoka would say to find thrawn, but i think she would say for ezra and imply thrawn, while luke would say that that path would lead to finding thrawn as well. Minor difference but one that i think would be better fitting, as long as we believe ahsoka caught luke up on her story.

Its crazy how well your version of the story works.

In my TBOBF rewrite, I'd swap the Vespas for those bounty hunters we see in TESB. IG-88, Dengar, Bossk, 4-LOM, and Zuckuss. Krssantan and Din could still be part of Team Boba as well. They'd all be Boba and Fennec's muscle instead of the Vespas. In my TM S3 rewrite, I'd have the third episode be about Gideon's prison escape. Gideon in a New Republic prison on Coruscant could even meet Morgan Elsbeth in the same prison. Gideon could offer Morgan to play a part in his escape plan but declines knowing who'd come to her rescue in Ahsoka. After Gideon escapes, Cara Dune and her NR team would be investigating the escape, all leading to either Pershing or Kane as the mole who aided Gideon on the outside. The 6th episode can feature Cara Dune as well. Meeting with Bo and Din in the same community Axe Wolves and the others are at. And the community would be run by ministers played by less distracting actors than Jack Black and Lizzo. Cara would have a lead inside the community as someone else working with Gideon in the shadows who could lead them to his secret base on Mandalore. The 7th episode can feature Cara and the New Republic aiding the two Mandalorian factions to reclaim Mandalore. The 8th and last episode can have Ahsoka returning Grogu on her ship with Huyang. Ahsoka can carry Grogu on her back when returning him to Din. She can even be the one to fight off those Pretorian Guards and kill them all instead of Din. Then Ahsoka can help Bo and Din fight Gideon and his clones. Gideon can still get nuked to death and both Grogu and Ahsoka can save Din and Bo from the fire with their combined force powers. The episode can then end with Bo and the Armorer ruling and uniting Mandalore as well as Din and Grogu both loving happily ever after on Nevarro. Until they're called up to confront Grand Admiral Thrawn if that's the direction the Mandoverse is still headed. P.S. The theme of the season can be unity and division. Something you just executed better than the season we got.

I would have really liked it if Sabine was mentioned. A scene of Bo reaching to her on Lothal and apologizing for losing her family would have been sweet, and it would justify Sabine not wanting to put her armor back on and help, since she is so distraught and has so little faith in Bo’s leadership. It would be a nice way to reinforce how Bo doesn’t have faith in herself since everyone is leaving her, making Din’s loyalty to her far more impactful.

I never thought i'd see someone improve the mandalorian. Good job.

This was some incredible writing! I loved how you kept the themes and the great story they had made up to that point! I was quite disappointed in season three and im so happy to see this interpretation! Thanks so much for making this! Id love to see your take on a rewrite of Ahsoka as i have seen some problems with it especially how characters were negatively changed, (Like Thrawn, Sabine, and Ahsoka) and some of their motivations did not make a lot of sense like how Thrawn is still fighting for the empire for some reason or why Sabine for any reason would help the empire XD (maybe Thrawn would come back and change his mind seeing how bad the empire is doing and how feesably they could do nothing to help his people or you could do something interesting like a temporarily alliance between Ezra and Thrawn for survival and escape) Anyways thanks again for the awesome listen have a great one!

Great rewrite! One really wonders sometimes if script writers even seek a second opinion. I feel like a lot of rookie mistakes could be avoided

Your work is so thoughtful and well structured. I love your focus on character motivations. However (on this occasion only) I don’t agree that putting Grogu on the sidelines for an entire season would work. He’s a driving force for Mando and needs more compelling story not less!

It's funny, but I enjoyed watching this video way more than the watching the excruciatingly bad Mando S3.

Only thing I'd say is that Ep 7 ending with a Vizsla dying to save a Kryze is a poetic unifier between the clans, but I can see why you changed it (although there is the plot hole of Gideon not taking the Darksaber off of Din)

The biggest thing I disliked about Mandalorian season 3 is how they didn't properly address how Bo and Din were ostracized from their respective clans for BS reasons. I think that would be a great source of camaraderie between them and tension with the rest of the Mandalorians.

New Gold man video for my commute. Lezzz goooo!!

Thanks for reminding me about the lizzo episode I had that completely blocked from my memory I hope things don’t go your way for 3 nights

Broader point - I think we're living through a plague I've named the "Mystery Box McMuffin". Keeping the McMuffin a mystery, means you don't have a proper set up, or a proper establishing of tension and the whole movie/series lacks drive and the action lacks tensions because there are no proper stakes. Book of Boba Fett is frustrating because there is so much that is good, but also so much that is bad, but it also played "Mystery Box McMuffin" with the Pykes and who killed the Tuskens .. this added massively to the aimlessness of the show. My big extra change would be make Bib Fortuna the "big bad", give him issues with Boba (maybe he drugged Boba causing him to fight so badly at the Sarlac Pit - imagine Ep 1 shows RotJ Jabba's palace scenes from Boba's point of view ending with him falling into the Sarlacc!!!), but most importantly Bib Fortuna is also an awful ruler and everyone hates him. So Boba's journey leads him to meet different people on Tatooine, who are all suffering under Bib Fortuna's rule. Rather than having Camie and Fixer as a deep cut cameo, he spends an episode with them and the other moisture farmers and they all join him in the battle. He unites them and learns to lead them all, to take down Bib Fortuna. Also, with the Cad Bane, young Boba fight scene flashback, you establish Cad Bane as a toxic mentor, and part of Boba's journey is to realise "I am NOT what you made me!". Defeating Cad Bane is both an external and an internal battle. Finally only in the end does he become Daimyo, when the people the people chose to make him the new ruler, against his wishes. Solves Boba's massive lack of motivation issue. A journey from a lone outsider wandering in the desert, to the beloved leader. And I seriously want hundreds, even thousands, of Tuskens to arrive at the end of the battle as the Cavalry !! Mando 3 - also if you take out all the Mando stuff from BoBF and put it into Mando 3 - then you start with Mando alone, rock bottom, desperately trying to find his people again. You can drag out the search for the Armourer over a few ''bounty of the week' style episodes and then it adds more impact when he finally finds them in Ep 3 or 4, but is almost immediately rejected and told to f*** off. He goes to see Grogu and is also politely made unwelcome..Total absolute rock bottom. Then he goes to Tatooine, he gets a pep talk from Boba, he gets the Naboo strarfighter and things start to improve. He goes to Mandalore but doesn't get to bathe because of Imperials. This sets up the alignment of his desire to take down Moff Gideon, again, with accepting and taking up the leadership of the Dark Saber, and bathing in the Living Waters, with the mission of uniting the Mandalorians and retaking Mandalore . Maybe Boba can accompany him,, Din, Boba and BoKatan 3 outcasts who yearn for readmittance by the Mandalorians It's only at the end of the final episode, as part of the big ceremony that Din Djarin, Grogu at his side, bathes in the Living Waters and is accepted back into his group, fulfilling DIn's goals set up of in Ep 3.1

If Boba Fett and Mando S3 were actually like this, they would've been awesome! I really hope the Mando and Grogu movie gets this storyline back on track

I'm working on my own rewrite of the Mandoverse, and I think we have a lot of overlap lol hope you don't mind if I take some "inspiration" from your version!

39:00 That is stupid, I'm sorry, himself removing the helmet, not someone else....

I hated how the republic was totally blind and didn’t help the Mandys retake mandalor

Why is it that fans can write better Star Wars stories than Disney can? Great video.

I like your funny words Magic Man.

@thegoldman25 I'm surprised that you didn't put up a video notice saying "And theremore, I'll will not be adding Cara Dune back in my rewrite for The Mandalorian Season 3 due to Gina Carano is the one caused her career with her controversial tweets, so I'm not going to be adding it here." since I did seen some toxic The Mandalorian Season 3 haters/Cara Dune/Gina Carano followers hated Season 3 for writing Cara Dune out of the show. Also, for Ahsoka, I think you should re-rewrite that part about having Ahsoka being shown up in Season 3 in this video, she shouldn't be in the finale due to she was trapped in the other galaxy. There was a justable explanation why she was completely absent in The Mandalorian Season 3 because she had to go to stop Morgan for rescuing Thrawn and having her in The Mandalorian Season 3 finale would be hard to put her in tie into Ahsoka Season 1 late. (I do think Ahsoka was inside of that Purgil in Chapter 17 of The Mandalorian Season 3 when he saw those Purgils through Hyperspace Traveling.) Since we know that Ahsoka Season 1 takes place around the same time as The Mandalorian Season 3, would it be better if Ahsoka tells Luke about she needed to leave to find the Temple that leads to Thrawn in the first episode of The Mandalorian Season 3 and maybe have the Purgil Scene somewhere in sometime after Chapter 17 to tie in Ahsoka series where she is leaving the main galaxy instead?

I always thought they should've taken bo katan and Mando to be fighting over the dark saber for control of mandalor

Bro, it's about time Disney hires you to check the scripts before they shoot the next series

I know this isn’t real, but I really wish you were a Director for the Mandalorian and the book of Boba Fett.

While do like mando season 3 we got for the most part I also like your version of mando season 3 too

Idk, im one of the few who actually liked season 3. It wasnt my favorite season, but something doesnt have to be perfect for me to enjoy it. I also feel like a season 4 could have made season 3 a whole lot better, like how season 2 added so much more depth to season 1. Its sad we're not gunna get that anymore. I really hope Lucasfilm realizes that a good sotryline is worth the wait and we get one more season before the mandalorian movie

I am fine with having a Jack Black in my Star Wars. No Lizzo, but Jack Black as a former imperial who changed for the better willingly is a decent character concept AND ties into the theme of the series. I would also drop the mindwipe aspect of the NR. I prefer my good guys to be good guys and the Republic in this time need to be good guys. This would also mean the reason they can't help out with the pirates is because they don't have the resources and are busy with the manhunt for Gideon.

The most important thing is does Boba still ride like a Bantha? #headlesshorde

Really enjoyed the video! Sorry some of the comments here are just unnecessarily rude.

Good !!

Do you think having a previously written story to go off of makes it easier to write a more cohesive and compelling story?

Solo revisit when

Out to the main problem with your rewrite is if there's not enough grogu in it which is a big cash cow for Disney. So even though I think it's better it's not even an option.

Should have boba fett just spoken 10 lines through out the whole season or something?! 3:15

Hopefully soon ai can take this vifeo as a prompt and avtually make a movie from it

Injured in "some way"??? He was swallowed by a Sarlacc for crying out loud, it's stomach acids are still burning him at that point🤓

Love this rewrite, take the history that was mediocre at best, and just whit a few changes create something more enjoyable, more interesting, even whit Grogu absent for most of the rewrite

Basically nothing changes. Only good bit was a vengeful Boba Fett

25:36 nuh uh

THE WASTED POTENTIAL😤😤😤

Without Carl Weathers, the Mandalorian will never be the same again.

There were alot of things wrong in mando s3, but thematically my biggest one was the nite owls and CotW. Like this big beef supposedly exists or this massive rift that blames the other side yet are supposed to be related (children of the watch are literally from death watch and bo katan was former death watch and nite owls are just her sub sect). Yet when they arrive on mandalore, almost no conflict or story or resolution happens. They just fight together and happily ever after. There needed to be waaay more development and bridging of issues than a small chess match on a ship and small knife fight. This rewrite is sooo much more satisfying and sensical. Thank you for the effort. Great vid 👍

Could it be possible that you may review the hobbit trilogy? Even though bits mid, there were some scenes that were great and fantastic. Ruined cause Warner Bros cared about money cash grab.

you know that her name is bo-katan right? you calling her bo is like calling obi-wan kenobi obi..

I disliked s3 so much that I haven’t even enjoyed any videos dissing it or explaining why it’s bad, just because of how sick of it I was by the end of the show. This is the first video I’ve actually enjoyed on the topic. It’s genuinely baffling how much better this rewrite is. So many simple, very basic changes. I have no idea how s3 was even made with no one questioning any of the very obviously bad components in it, and this video makes it look even more embarrassing that it got made.

Watching these rewrite videos always just makes me upset because they're usually so much better and it's so disappointing to know if the actual writers just cared a little bit more then we could have had something of quality. If someone on KZfaq can make a better draft of the story then there is no reason the writers should be putting out what they're putting out. It's saddening to know that when I go onto Disney plus and click into one of these shows I'm not gonna get this version of them.

Meesa love me some Ahmed Best.

I thought we we're over this style of Fandom, "Here's what I would do better with my youtube channel and part time job." Lol.

Could you also rewrite the sequel trilogy

I will get crucified for (Mando season 3 is still the worst season of the show) for this. However I didn’t hate season 3. However this rewrite was pretty good.

Honestly I think the biggest problem with book of Boba Fett and all of these Mandoverse shows is one of branding. BoB is essentially Mando season 2.5 and should be sold as such same with Ashoka. In reality I think treating ever show except Andor as part of an anthology like Clone Wars would go a long way to making episodes and entire series feel less wasteful. Just combine the shows into one thing maybe cutting between storylines and call it something like Star Wars: Tales of the Outer Rim

I have a couple changes for BOBF and Mando 3: 1. Don't make BOBF 2. Dont return Grogu at all

I honestly think Madame web was better than Mandolorian season 3

This video makes me mad… cause of what we got

Having Boba Fett betray Mando for a good sum of cash would've been a great yet unspurprising twist

I honestly think the “BoBF should stand apart from the Mandalorian” take is, to put it extremely gently, dumb as fuck. I get the thought process, but it doesn’t hold an ounce of rational water since, definitionally, it isn’t what happened. And more or less misses the entire point of SW: iterative storytelling in a connected universe. Connected in small scales (e.g. the Mandoverse) and the obvious large scales. (This is why, despite its high quality, Andor is far and away the weakest SW story: It’s lack of intimate connection to everything else just makes it a pretty good scifi show, but it ain’t SW.) And in the case of this video, and your overall approach to these, it completely undermines the point. And this is not to say that the BoBF is good or whatever. It’s not. But it is part of the same story. Sure, they should have called it The Mandalorian: The Book of Boba Fett to make it clear, but that’s the only mistake as far as connectivity goes.
