I’ve just rewatched Smudger’s third movie, which links the Ryloth arc and the Holocron Crisis arc. As always with Smudger, it’s extremely technically competent. He uses the scene from the start of the Holocron Crisis where originally Ahsoka gets disciplined for her behaviour in a ground assault to instead refer to her behaviour at the start of the Ryloth arc space battle. It is brilliantly done, and I do have huge respect for Smudger’s work - I just don’t think that releasing as movies is strictly necessary. As I thought when I was watching the episodes in isolation, I think that it works best as three separate stories:

  1. Ahsoka leads a crew to break the blockade of Ryloth - I’d basically use Smudger’s cut plus a little more showing Bail on the delivery side of those supplies.
  2. The remainder of the battle - Good, but not great nor important to the overall show.
  3. The Holocron Crisis arc, in full, as a great and important episode.
