So, on to Ryloth.

The strongest emotional arc, and the one which is most relevant to the show, is Storm Over Ryloth’s Ahsoka plot. She fails to break the blockade, then helps Anakin to break it, allowing the military led by Obi-Wan to establish a ground presence. This can be enhanced quite easily by splicing it with the scenes on the ground from Supply Lines, where Cham Syndulla is involved in protecting civilians in a ground assault, and capped at the beginning and end with Bail helping bring supplies to the front lines, to make Ahsoka’s vistory that much sweeter.

With some droid chatter trimming, and either trims to or the full removal of the Neimoidian admiral who serves as Anakin’s foil, that’s a tight and tidy ~30 minute episode, which gives some great Ahsoka content and also keeps Cham in for future continuity.

The only question really is how much of Innocents of Ryloth and Liberty on Ryloth to preserve. I’m reviewing those episodes now, and the ideal without watching them is to allow the breaking of the blockade to remain the finale of the episode, since it’s the emotional conclusion. Anything else that’s good from those other episodes ideally will be able to fit within the established timeline rather than after it. Let’s see how possible that is…
