Maybe I’ll take the following episode, Geonosis, which has Ahsoka, and put it before Children of Night.
Or I could move Cloak of Darkness to after The 501st Legion…
Edit: Actually yeah, I’m definitely going to do the latter. That way the season’s narrative becomes:
- Ventress alone commences a siege on Christophsis (a planet that produces ray shields), Anakin meets Ahsoka, they defeat the siege, Obi-Wan is called off to respond to the crisis on Mandalore. (Ventress’ first strategic failiure.)
- Obi-Wan deals with the Mandalore crisis
- Anakin and Ahsoka counter and destroy the Malevolence, which had been destroying clone medical stations, before Grievous flees
- Anakin alone pursues Grievous for two+ weeks, while Echo and Fives go from failing with Domino Squad to defending Kamino, the clone homeworld, against Grievous’ assault. (Ventress fails, but forgivably so.)
- Meanwhile, Ahsoka’s been left with Luminara. (Ventress succeeds, and is back fully in Dooku’s good graces.)
- And all of that distraction leaves time for Dooku’s fleet to assault the shipyards in orbit of Sullust (led by a well-liked Ventress, just in time for Sidious to object.)
This way your first experience of the show is Ahsoka/no Ahsoka in balance for a few episodes, so if you like her you get her every other episode, but if you don’t, you get a break every other episode.
