Cheers ADR14NAT1ON! Never worry about being ‘only’ critical - it’s all valuable stuff! I really appreciate the feedback - and McFibb picking up some further exploration of the music - because the more brains we can pass this all through the better.

On your point about the intro theme not always matching the episode, I think that’s something that’ll quickly be mitigated by people getting used to it - whatever we settle on. I remember when I first heard the Clone Wars theme, the kind of broken version of the usual Star Wars theme, and finding it really jarring. I think that whatever we settle on, people will quickly get used to it, and it’s right that it encapsulate the spirit of the show if not the episode. And I think all we’re really doing is trying to hone in on the musical identity of the end of the Clone Wars (a lovely emotional epic) as opposed to the start (a bombastic anthology).

I actually think you’re right about my own credit. In most of the edits I’ve seen the faneditor puts themself early, which is fine since you’re usually watching a single movie which you sought out because it’s been edited. But in this case since we’re taking a few seconds to look at it over a piece of art, I think there’s a risk that people overthink my influence - and once per episode that could add up. So I think I’ll put myself last of the ‘featured’ credits, or perhaps after the original editor, if that’s in there. I think since this has been so collaborative that I must also include a regular (non-background-image) slide featuring as many of the participants in this thread as possible.
