I am curious how the series opener will turn out, using the Microseries. I know I’ll introduce Asajj Ventress, as well as the previous failure Sidious alludes to in episode 1. I think it’ll really help situate the viewer after AOTC and segue nicely into the main series. Will it introduce Grievous? He’s referenced in the episode where Anakin is knighted, which will be a must-include. I suppose he could be merely mentioned without seeing his initial appearance in which he acts uncharacteristically badass. Perhaps he can be seen training with Dooku, idk.

Until now I thought the plan was to bookend the series with the latter part of the Microseries to lead directly into ROTS. But it seems maybe not, and I understand from what I hear that it does not jive well with how TCW ended up doing things. However, it already conflicted with (the book) Labyrinth of Evil, but a recent fan project from this forum tweaked that to fit in well. So the Microseries will serve as a stylized series prologue episode. I can dig it.
