2.2% right now, but it's downloading with 88kB/s so it's going pretty fast (for my internet connection)
So Tpiom is this the SE of episode 1?

My download just finished. I'll be seeding the torrent for the rest of the night.

When do you think Direct Download of Episode 1 Final Edition will be. That Torrent site doesn't work well on my computer and really slows it down but direct downlaod works fine so im waiting for that.

I'm awaiting a reply from the host who is downloading the film on torrent. He should contact me soon...

The torrent for the movie seems to be downloading quite well, in fact I finished downloading it in less than 4 hours. And I have already watched it. So here's my review.

The movie was better than the first version, but there were a few things that I want to bring up that will hopefully assist you in making Episode 2 better. I'll start off with dialogue scenes. You include all the conversations and lines that characters say in game. Since this is a movie, you need to pick and choose the most important lines, or any line that has relevance to the plot, otherwise it's viewed as just pointless padding in a conversation. The scene when Brogus meets Atton for the first time is an example. All the viewers need to know is Atton's Joke about the attire, talking about the Jedi showing up, and freeing him, that's all. The camera movements weren't very fluent. I know that in KOTOR 2 the camera is more difficult to maneuver with, but it's not necessary to have the camera fly all over the place during a scene. In the talk between HK and Brogus on M4-78 the camera moves all over the place and it really takes away the illusion of the fact that were watching a game. Pretend that there is an acutal camera crew on set, and think about how a camera man would shoot this scene. Also some of the shot compositions were kind of awkward, making hard to see what was going on, like when Brogus is running to the Ebon Hawk on Peragus. I also see that there are a lot of flash frames throughout the movie, or very short (5 frames or less) video clips that seem to pop up, which happens during Brogus's encounter with the Krayt dragon. Anoghter problem is the M4-78 sequence. I really didn't see the point of adding that planet, as nothing was accomplished. The only thing that might be plotworthy of that part was if Brogus returns in Episode's 2 or 3 and Handmaiden becomes his follower, other than that the cameos by GOTO and Hanharr really didn't add anything. Another thing I noticed is that you have too many fades to black, and the majority is using the in game fades. A fade to black means that a scene is ended, but that's not to say that it can't be used for other applications. One last thing and then I'll get to things you did good on. You probably don't want to hear this, but there a few plot holes or story flow problems in your movie, but here are just a few.

Why did Kreia go invisible on Peragus?
Who was the Green Tweilek on M4-78?
Why were GOTO and Hanharr on M4-78?
Why is there a Krayt Dragon on Dantooine?
How does Brogus know Corruck?
Why does Corruck go from weild a double-bladed lightsaber to two single sabers?

Alright here are some good things. Your choice of music worked well for most of the scenes. Your voice acting is great. You make Brogus a reserved, yet cool character. So overall I would rate the movie as a 7 out of 10. The adaptation generally worked, but you need to work on story flow, and get some more practice editing. So this is my review, and I hope that you will find that these suggestions help you.

I suppose my podcast can answer more things later on (MUCH later) but I will reply to some questions/concerns.

"I really didn't see the point of adding that planet, as nothing was accomplished."
It's Vash's planet, Handy cameo, will be used in a future episode, (briefly).

"Another thing I noticed is that you have too many fades to black, and the majority is using the in game fades"
It's the classic K2 one. All the other transitions looks kind of ugly to me.

"Why did Kreia go invisible on Peragus?"
She wants the exile to take care of things himself; she studies him etc.

"Who was the Green Tweilek on M4-78?"
Vash's apprentice (not really important but whatever)/the Sith leader.

"Why were GOTO and Hanharr on M4-78?"
They were looking after their forces... They and the Sith were working together to share resources.

"Why is there a Krayt Dragon on Dantooine?"
He lived there...? But er, I think it's just a waste to not use that epic model. And to have Kreia deliver her beast talk (no, the Dxun part won't be used) but also to give Azkul's death a little more...

"How does Brogus know Corruck?
They were friends before, during the war. It will be explained in detail later...

"Why does Corruck go from weild a double-bladed lightsaber to two single sabers?"
To get an advantage over the exile. Really, it's just cool to cut the lightsaber into two parts. Never understood why they didn't play with such things in the movies...


But you are right about the Atton conversation and some other things, thanks for telling me so I can improve in the future

So . . . it is foreshadowing of a later episode?
