Make the first half revenge and revial and add a transition 23 years later then pick up with the rebels episodes.
That could work, almost like how Rogue One has a 10 minute prologue.
My only question is would it be worth it? I personally find the clone wars arcs more interesting (armies of boba fetts, obi-wan is more prevalent + shows us a new side of him, and more epic duels). The rebels arc has the quick final fight, but beyond that is lackluster imo. Plus you’d have to introduce all the rebels cast.
Maybe following the end credits an “epilogue” could play, which would Twin Suns with only Maul scenes.
I don’t think it should be after the credits, but yeah, the conclusion should just be the Twin Suns episode of Rebels without the Ezra and Chopper shenanigans.
I think I found a solution. It’s complicated but I will try to explain it the best I can, though actual video would work better. I’ll intercut Twin Suns throughout the movie, in brief flashes showing Maul in the desert acting crazy, slowly building towards the battle. At first it will seem like visions from Maul’s crazy mind, but they slowly make more and more sense. Sort of like the black and white scenes in memento. I could even make them black and white, if not I’ll apply some filter to distinguish it. At the very end it would cut back to Twin Suns, only this time the filter is minimal and the two are about to have the fateful fight. End movie with Obi-Wan watching Luke.
I am almost done with the structure. “Brothers” will start right as Savage flies to the junk planet, no diner shenanigans. “Revenge” will stop right after Maul begins his slaughter of the innocent. Then we cut to Yoda sensing Maul’s return and Obi-Wan’s reaction. I cut the duel on the ship because it there were no casualties, it would have been the fifth lightsaber duel, and we haven’t met Ventress. Likewise the hologram scene contradicted “Obi-Wan going alone” because in the Revival duel (which will be trimmed to remove as much Hondo as possible) Obi-Wan brings another Jedi.
