I’m cutting Ahsoka/Maul together with the first part of the Kenobi/Grevious fight but having trouble figuring out the best points to cut back and forth.

What I have atm is Kenobi standing in the rafters staring down at Grevious right as Ahsoka walks into the Mandalorian throne room, but after that, not sure…

Well there’s a tricky thing there because the very next scene after the first part of Grievous vs. Obi-Wan is the conference room scene that is replicated shot by shot in “Shattered”. So that conversation between Mace, Yoda, Ki-Adi etc. happens the morning after Maul’s defeat and capture.

If you go that route, you could maybe end the first part of Utapau right before Obi-Wan gets the varactyl and sets off to find Grievous, then the Ahsoka/Maul fight, then the Grievous/Obi-Wan fight.

You could end up with a timeline like this.

  • Maul runs from Ahsoka in the undercity.
  • Kashyyyk and Council scene. Kenobi appointed to Utapau.
  • Obi-Wan says goodbye to Anakin.
  • Obi-Wan contacts Ahsoka.
  • Jesse’s interrogation and Maul rallies the Shadow Collective.
  • Obi-Wan gives instructions to Cody and leaves for Utapau.
  • Padmé and Anakin apartment scene.
  • Maul vs Ahsoka / Obi-Wan arrives on Utapau and fights Grievous.
  • Maul is captured (end of Phantom Apprentice) and brought to Bo-Katan (beginning of Shattered).
  • Hologram briefing scene.

I don’t know if you have this considered but I believe it would be great to have the “Padmé’s ruminations” scene from Episode III placed next to the beginning of that long sequence of Shattered where Ahsoka and the 501st depart Mandalore with Maul and board the Venator. Both scenes convey a similar feeling with both having a dark score that deviates from the classic orchestral Williams pieces.
