Hello again!
I’ve been thinking about making a longer version of this Clone Wars film saga that covers more arcs. But I don’t know what to make. Here are my two main ideas:

MAKE 8 FANEDITS (with custom crawls - this version is similar to the current version except it now features Domino Squad as focus characters, so Fives’ arc has more impact in the final films)

  • I - Path of the Padawan (same as current version - Christophsis/Malevolence/Geonosis)
  • II - Corruption on Mandalore (same as current version - Mandalore S2/Mandalore S3/Lux Bonteri [Abridged])
  • III - The Fight for Survival (Domino Squad/The Citadel arcs)
  • IV - Children of Dathomir (same as current episode III - Nightsisters/Return of Maul pt. 1)
  • V - An Untamed Evil (same as current episode IV - Return of Maul pt. 2/Maul on Mandalore)
  • VI - Trials of the Force (same as current episode V - Mortis/Ahsoka Framed)
  • VII - The Clone Conspiracy (Umbara/Order 66 Origins arcs)
  • VIII - Fate of the Republic (Martez Sisters/Siege of Mandalore arcs)

I particularly like those last two arrangements. My current episode VI bothers me because it changes main characters and plots half-way through. This hypothetical “episode VII” would keep Fives and Rex as the main characters throughout their arcs. And “episode VIII” would mostly follow Ahsoka throughout the film.

OR I COULD MAKE 12 CLONE WARS FANEDITS (This series of edits would not use custom opening crawls. I would keep the narrator for the film’s opening, as well as when we transition between arcs - so it’s clear what’s happening and arc transitions are less abrupt.)

Here’s how the openings would go:
Silver Lucasfilm logo
“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…”
The Clone Wars Intro
Title of film (in place of the quotes usually placed here in the series)
Narrator intro

  • I - Path of the Padawan (Christophsis/Jabba’s Son)
  • II - A Galaxy at War (Malevolence/Geonosis)
  • III - Corruption on Mandalore (Mandalore S2/Mandalore S3)
  • IV - The Fight for Survival (Domino Squad/The Citadel)
  • V - Heroes on Both Sides (Lux Bonteri/A Friend In Need/Onderon)
  • VI - The Seeds of Darkness (Kadavo/Deception)
  • VII - Children of Dathomir (Nightsisters/Return of Maul pt. 1)
  • VIII - An Untamed Evil (Return of Maul pt. 2/Maul on Mandalore)
  • IX - Trials of the Force (Mortis/Ahsoka Framed)
  • X - The Clone Conspiracy (Umbara/Order 66 Origins)
  • XI - The Bad Batch (Bad Batch - this film would be shorter than the others since there’s only one arc with these characters, but it’s important for their upcoming series)
  • XII - Fate of the Republic (Martez Sisters/The Siege of Mandalore)

The second option would probably take longer to create, but I wouldn’t have to make the custom crawls for it (which are very time-consuming).
The first option would be shorter and more focused, and it would fit great with Porkerrican’s Rebels Saga (which has eight films as well). The second option would feature more arcs than option one, though it would be four films longer.

What do you all think? Which option sounds better? Or is my series fine as it is? (Keep in mind that the current versions would remain available either way.)
