I’m still working on the ordering. I don’t want to rearrange too much, but I have the following goals, in this order:

Pace Maul throughout
Pace Mandalore throughout
Get a lot of quality up front (to prove the show to the first-time viewer)
Highlight Ahsoka’s growth
Pepper the best of the rest throughout, making sure it paces OK in terms of both characters and visuals

We are locked to the following breakpoints:
Every early Ventress episode > Nightsisters > All remaining Ahsoka episodes before the model update > Heroes on Both Sides > A Friend in Need > Remaining Mandalore episodes in order

We have about 40 episodes in this new show. Looking at JUST the Maul, Mandalore and Ahsoka ones (the ones we need to pace well), we have eight Maul ones, which means about four episodes between each Maul. If I then evenly spread the remaining Mandalore ones, and then spread Ahsoka’s arc across the whole in the current chronological order (about two episodes per Maul, though more Ahsoka earlier), we end up with the following.

(Bear in mind there’d still be four episodes per Maul, so where the Mauls seem close together, they’d be spaced with other non-Mando/non-Ahsoka episodes)

Christophsis (Ahsoka’s intro part only) - mandatory
Mandalore Plot - Deathwatch intro and a new layer to Kenobi early
Rising Malevolence - tension between Ahsoka and Anakin, intro to Ahsoka and Plo
Cloak of Darkness - Ahsoka with Luminara
Storm over Ryloth - Ahsoka’s first major mistake and lesson
Nightsisters - A hint of Maul
Duchess of Mandalore - Deathwatch back on the scene
Holocron Crisis - Disobedience and discipline for Ahsoka, force sensitive kids
Bounty Hunters on Felucia - no focus on Ahsoka, but a fun episode with her in it
Lightsaber Lost - After a few mistakes, Ahsoka learns to slow down
Boba Fett vs Mace - Boba’s in play, and Ahsoka’s getting competent
Return of Maul - about as early as you could get it
Corruption on Mandalore - A low-level easyish solo Ahsoka mission with the beginnings of her teaching
Senate Spy - Anakin and Padme argue, lead in to Battle of Geonosis
Battle of Geonosis - Competent Ahsoka compares herself to Barriss
Brain Invaders - Ahsoka forced into solo competency and a bit of trauma
Revival - The growing threat of the Maul bros as they turn to piracy
Heroes on Both Sides - New look for Ahsoka (because of the competency/trauma!)
Padme assassination episode - Not much growth for Ahsoka but good Padme
A Friend in Need - More Lux, more deathwatch
Eminence - Maul forms the Shadow Collective
Citadel - Ahsoka disobeys orders the right way, a bit more trauma
Hunted by Trandoshans - A big test of Ahsoka solo and as a teacher
Shades of Reason - Maul takes Mandalore
Kadavo
Jedi Younglings - Ahsoka now given the authority to formally teach younglings
Onderon - Ahsoka now responsible for training an insurgency
The Lawless - Maul rules Mandalore
Ahsoka’s Fall - Followed by some time off as we focus on other characters (those episodes not in this list)
Son of Dathomir Audio Comic - Maul liberated
Martez Sisters - We see what Ahsoka’s been up to, and get more hints of Maul
The Siege of Mandalore - The grand finale to all of the above

How does that feel, read in that order? That would be essentially the Mandalorian Cut of the Clone Wars: Refocused project. Does it feel like this meets our stated goals? (Are those goals sensible?)
