Noted both. I also preferred more melancholy. When I was looking for something with a bit more bombast I did pass over a few other suitable candidates for softer, so I’ll revisit those. I also checked out the non-sad version of the Clones theme but think it’s a bit too military for what I’m going for. My preference would be to more closely link military==tragedy in this show, rather than just let the ‘wars’ element of the clone wars be an isolated element.

I’ll also give myself a bit longer than a minute for the intro music, to let the text linger for longer. I’ll also see if TCW logo fits earlier to a given track, though I don’t think this is mandatory, since other shows allow it to come after intro text equivalents or cold opens.

I also think I prefer teal text for end credits over yellow, though I’ll see if I can give it more shadow and let the background images move a bit (though I’m adding work per episode here).

I’d prefer to keep the end credits over static images, and ideally the concept paintings from StarWars.com for consistency. I think scenes that I’ve cut are a cuter addition than promotional shots or the art showing digital elements (like character models or sets). I think I want to avoid previs.
