S06E05-07 - Clovis Banking Arc - Excludable - Continuity Cut

This is another tough one. A politics-heavy arc focused on banking, with very little action. The highlight is Anakin’s jealousy of Padme’s relationship with Clovis, which is handled really well, but it’s just not too strong an episode beyond that. It needs extreme tightening, I think, to be worthy of the Quality cut, because Anakin’s development is not one of the primary arcs we’re following this series.

I’d actually quite like to put this before Maul on Mandalore, because this operates as a good reminder of Obi-Wan’s relationship with Satine. Placing it before the fall of Ahsoka might make that more of a double punch. The third episode can be split off from the other two, and it contains the reconciliation, so maybe we choose to draw it out.
