Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Rachel Goodlett Katz, ACE, and Dylan Firshein - the editors of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.
Dylan’s been on the show before when we discussed the TV series, The Mandalorian, for which he’s been nominated for two Emmys. He also edited on The Book of Boba Fett. Dylan was also a first assistant editor on Solo: A Star Wars Story, and The Big Short.
Rachel’s also been an editor on The Mandalorian TV series. Her other TV work includes Halt and Catch Fire, The Walking Dead, and Gossip Girl. She also edited parts 1, 2, and 3 of the Fear Street films.
Our discussion today is about the value of editing on set, the challenges and possibilities of editing with a masked main character, and the power of cinematic inspiration from the classics
