One thought that I won’t need to make a call on for a while, but which is worth thinking about, is on the content which is a lot shorter but still good.
We all seem to agree that one of the principles should be ‘quality no matter the length’, and also that pacing the whole is important rather than just grouping for commonality’s sake, and that we’d like to preserve the feel of a wide-ranging frontier war. But at the same time, it might be nice to group some of the shorter content which adds texture but doesn’t have too much of a bearing on the overall plot, as one to four ‘Tales from the Clone Wars’ anthology groupings?
One of the advantages here would be that you could incorporate all of the very best single standalone scenes from otherwise excised or truncated episodes. All of the good five minute chunks, split by fades and intertitles, that would be pushing it if we were to say “here’s a five minute episode to follow the last hour-long episode”. I guess it’d almost echo the Tartakovsky series.
