Editors – Jeff Seibenick, Andrew S. Eisen ACE, Dana E. Glauberman ACE, Dylan Firshein

Editors Jeff Seibenick, Andrew S. Eisen ACE, Dylan Firshein and Dana E. Glauberman ACE got the band back together from Season One of THE MANDALORIAN to help tell the story of the legendary bounty hunter, Boba Fett.

THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT follows bounty hunter Boba Fett, from THE MANDALORIAN and the STAR WARS feature films, as he establishes himself as the new crime lord of Jabba the Hutt’s former territory on the planet Tatooine.

JEFF SEIBENICK

In addition to his work on the Star Wars shows for Disney+, Jeff has a background rich in comedy tv editing.  You can see his work on series such as; PARKS AND RECREATION, EASTBOUND & DOWN and VICE PRINCIPALS.

ANDREW S. EISEN ACE

Considering the cinematic approach the editing team applies to THE MANDALORIAN and THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT, it’s no surprise to see Andrew’s name in the credits of big sci-fi / action films like TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION and THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL 2.

DANA E. GLAUBERMAN ACE

When she’s not lending her editorial talents to the Star Wars universe, Dana is cutting films like GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE, CREED II,  UP IN THE AIR and JUNO.

DYLAN FIRSHEIN

While THE MANDALORIAN and THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT are the projects that helped establish Dylan as a lead editor, he has also assisted on features like SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY, THE CLOVERFIELD PARADOX and tv series such as GREY’S ANATOMY.
