S05E02-05 - The Onderon Arc - Excludable - Continuity Cut

This one’s not Important, since it doesn’t further any of our core plots. It’s got an interesting theme - Ahsoka trains a rebellion insurgency - and it investigates that quite nicely, especially with the character of Stiela Gererra, who we regrettably don’t see again. It also shows some of the radicalisation for Saw Gererra, which would certainly be interesting for a fan of the wider franchise (the Continuity Cut). I don’t think it quite counts as interesting development for Ahsoka, since she’s portrayed as merely competent here (which we already know), and her plot with Lux actually doesn’t go beyond a little jealousy, which is a shame after some of the earlier setup.

As for editing this, you could tighten it up. The first two episodes could probably be turned into a montage interspersed with the main quotes, ending with the destruction of the power generator, allowing the main plot to focus on the people of Onderon in the insurgency.

As a note, I will probably be padding out the Quality Cut with items currently called Excludable, since I’ll want it paced well - I’ll just make sure I’m picking the best. After making sure I have the right Mando / Maul episodes, I’ll also look into Ahsoka’s arc in depth to make sure her character journey is a highlight.
