S06E10 - The Lost One (First episode of The Yoda Arc) - Important - Quality Cut

First episode is separate from the others. It’s quite interesting, and while low on action, but by this point in the story I think we’re pretty invested in an investigation of the origins of the clones.

It adds an interesting wrinkle that you don’t have otherwise- the information that the Jedi became aware that the Sith created the clone army, and that they opted to keep it a secret and continue the war anyway.

This needs to come late, but I might give it an episode to breathe before dropping straight into the next one.

S06E11-13 - The remainder of the Yoda Arc - Important - Quality Cut

This one’s mostly fantastic, and contains a lot of revelation. As with Mortis, I think it’s a little hamfisted and demistifying, though I think this one will be far easier to cut around.

I’d like to remove there being a literal planet of the force where (some?) life began, and the five literal life-after-death spirits, but the rest can all work if that planet is merely a vision, and I use the occasional voice over from the spirits.

Instead it’ll run like this:

Yoda hears from Qui-Gon and opts to go into the deep meditation, where Qui-Gon directs him to Dagobah
Yoda enters the force cave on Dagobah and communes with Qui-Gon
First vision: The false peace of the temple, where Dooku is the betrayer
Second vision: The future deaths of the Jedi
Third “vision”: Yoda on the force planet, cut down to just the fight against his fear.
Voice over directing him to Moraband, which I think there’s a good chance I can change to Korriban with some audio editing. (The planet is canonically Korriban, George just wanted to use another name for this episode.)
Yoda awakens on Dagobah and flies to Korriban
Sidious notices “an opportunity”, and calls Dooku to help with the ritual
Yoda encounters the Sith snakes, Sith acolytes, Bane spirit, and then the Sifo-Dyas illusion which draws him into the trap
Spirit fight with Sidious, preserving all the metaphors and hints
As Yoda wakes, stay on a white screen, picking any of the remaining valuable quotes, ending with “there is another… Skywalker.”
Yoda denies his experiences to the council. “No longer certain that win a war, one can…”, and we play out the rest as in the episode.

You still get all the meat, we just preserve more mysticism.
