So, I’m doing some planning for my next arc, s02e03 now. This is Cad Bane and the Holocron Crisis.
It’s pretty super, but I’m just thinking about one particular issue at the start.
It opens on Felucia, where Ahsoka disobeys some orders as they’re getting evacuated, which subsequently results in her getting disciplined by the jedi council. It’s a gorgeous looking scene, too, with some great colourful combat.
However, in the Ryloth episode we’ve just had Ahsoka disobey some orders, causing far more loss of life, and get told off by Anakin but no larger discipline.
So there are two options:
- Keep both instances of disobedience, using something in the intro text to make it clear she’s on thin ice after the first instance, or something.
- Cut the second, recontextualising the discipline scene from this into the punishment for her behaviour in Ryloth.
Pro of keeping it is that it’s a lovely looking scene, and maybe emphasises her disobedience that much more.
Pro of removing it is that it saves us a bit of time for pacing, and makes a bit more flow between episodes, which is something I’m eager to achieve.
