Yes, that’s one of the issues with trying to produce movies. You have to have plots which can at least be interlaced, but then they’re not particularly cohesive as a whole. And if you’re going to have plot A then plot B as a movie, why not have them separate and not demand two hours in one sitting? One thing you might notice is that in my list of episodes up front, I’ve split it into more arcs than you might have assumed.

For example the popular Yoda arc can really be seen as two arcs - the first episode about Sifo-Dyas, then the second about the Qui-Gon’s life after death. Since they’re not directly a follow-on, you might choose to split them and thus achieve a different pacing.

Similarly, the Return of Maul arc is really three things: The massacre on Dathomir, a less important episode of Ventress trying to find herself, and the actual Return of Maul. We can split that out and have a slower burn, a more developing world, where through focusing on these episodes we’re reminded of their importance, and the whole feels more cohesive and directed.
