UPDATE: The edit’s coming along nicely. I have completed nearly everything from TCW besides some transitions and begin work on Twin Suns soon. The current cut comes in at 1:49, which I fear is too short. The episodes are very episodic, each with certain fight scenes that didn’t do anything besides fill up the runtime and provide action (ex: Nal Hutta attack, 1st Satine rescue attempt). I ended up cutting more than I thought I would.
I have added a trimmed “Voyage of Temptation” between Brothers and Return. This catches us up to what Obi-Wan doing. I think the lavish starliner with the junk planet is a great contrast that shows the differences in Maul and Obi-Wan’s lives. The scenes also tell us of Obi-Wan and Satine semi-romance and how the Death Watch were once aligned with Count Dokou. It might seem strange for first time viewers cut to a seemingly different plotline, but by the midpoint they’ve converged and the meat of the story can begin.
The trimmed sequence lasts 12 minutes. I’ve cut a lot out of the episode (didn’t want us to forget about Maul) including the other two assassin droids and the smaller droids. https://vimeo.com/257436059
