I haven’t updated the OP yet to reflect this, but major project update:
After talking with my fiancée and my brother and thinking about film structure and effective story telling I’ve decided to make this a trilogy rather than a singular film. The first reason for this change being that I realized it wasn’t going to work thematically to say goodbye to Ahsoka in the same film that we are introduced to her in.
The second was that there are important character moments for Anakin and Ahsoka that inform their later decisions that I was leaving out.
The third reasons being pacing and leaving room for the story and audience to breathe.
So the first film, which is fairly close to completion will consist of:
Crawl:
Like fire across the galaxy, the Clone Wars spread. As more and more planets choose to join Count Dooku’s Separatists it falls upon the Jedi Knights to lead the newly formed ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.
While the Jedi are occupied fighting a war,
no one is left to keep the peace. Chaos and crime spread, and the innocent become victims in a lawless galaxy.
As the heat of war grows, so too grows the prowess of the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker. Determined to prevent him from reaching his full potential Count Dooku sends the Sith assassin Asajj Ventress to strike down the young Jedi….
Anakin vs Ventress/Knighting Ceremony from 2003 Clone Wars
The Hidden Enemy(with the Clone arc cut)
Bombad Jedi(edited so that Padme is the sole hero)
The Movie (Christophsis battle/agreeing to train Ahsoka)
Senate Spy and Cloak of Darkness cut together
Landing at Point Rain/Weapons Factory/Legacy of Terror/Brain Invader (brain worms cut)
The film ends after the capture of Poggle and the burying of the Queen.
The scene where Sidious orders Dooku to kill Ventress plays after the credits.
Film 2 will (hopefully) consist of:
The opening battle of Nightsister
Pursuit of Peace/Senate Murders
The Citadel episodes
Overlords
and the Zygerian Slavery arc
Ventress waking up in the wreckage is End Credits scene
Film 3:
Onderon arc
Rise of Clovis Arc
Yoda’s mission
The Wrong Jedi arc
Dooku ordering Greivious to prepare his attack as End Credits scene.
The hardest thing about these edits is transitioning from one arc to the next because so much of the setup for episodes is relayed through the Narration rather than dialogue.
But that’s what I’ve got so far.
Overlords
