Work continues on the Christophsis episode. Using now the original sources, I’ve produced the rough cut from the best elements of the three episodes, and it flows nicely. It runs to about 30 minutes. Plot is now:

  • In the intro text we establish that Bail’s involved in supply and relief on Christophsis but with only a very small clone escort, Anakin’s knighted so Obi-Wan’s requested a new padawan, and Ventress has been tracked by Anakin and Obi-Wan too easily to Christophsis.
  • We open on the planet, with Anakin and Obi-Wan biking to Ventress to find that it’s a trap - as expected - but one not intended to capture them but to draw them out while the Separatists establish a comms blackout and drop overwhelming force onto the planet.
  • During the fight with Ventress, we see Bail’s rear base being attacked, then as the fight concludes we see the huge army arrive.
  • After they flee the huge army by speeder thing, we then skip forward to Anakin and Obi-Wan having arrived at the forward base and made contact with the clone forces, where they spy the army besieging them while they listen to Bail calling for more help.
  • Unaware that they’re being ignored (or that there’s an issue on Christophsis) due to the comms blackout, the Jedi Council send a ship with Ahsoka to request the return of Anakin and Obi-Wan. Instead, she joins them.
  • Obi-Wan faces the main force, whilst a bickering Anakin and Ahsoka destroy the shield generator thanks to Ahsoka’s brashness (but less annoying dialogue).
  • The end scene plays out the same, with thanks and Anakin formally accepting Ahsoka, but we intercut Bail also thanking Anakin for the lives saved.

I think I’m just going to call this THE NEW PADAWAN, unless anyone can think of anything better. CRISIS ON CHRISTOPHSIS is a bit too cheeky. THE SIEGE OF CHRISTOPHSIS is cool but takes a little weight off the later outer rim sieges, and I think it’s best to focus on the characters for this one. I don’t want to highlight Ventress since she’s a minor part, so I wouldn’t go with something like APPRENTICES or PADAWAN AND ASSASSIN.
