If anything Bad Batch will probably give us Boba vs Bane where he gets his father’s armor back. I can’t imagine any of the other’s getting adapted though since they feature characters who are either dead or in hiding or are adapted elsewhere (Yoda & Bad Batch, Ahsoka’s Sith temple arc, Rex Top Gun arc, Padme’s Chancellor investigations, Dark Disciple…)

Though I could maybe see them having the Bad Batch go to Kashyyyk to suppress the wookies as one of their early mission for the Enpire before they defect. And the Yuuzhan Vong arc could maybe work…

I personally really hate Ahsoka/Lux, no matter what it shows for Ahsoka’s arc. Since she’s completely oblivious to being flirted with throughout the later novel due to “Jedi hangups” and the Lux stuff (especially in the Death Watch and Onderon episodes) is just so forced and cringy I would prefer it be gone. It doesn’t really add anything to her characterization imo.

As for Mortis, that is a slightly confusing arc because it’s implied that Father, Son, and Daughter are the physical embodiments of Balance, Dark, and Light, at the same time that Father explicitly says they were just Force users who were too powerful to continue existing in normal space. And for it being a vision, since they already can’t find the planet afterwards and Anakin’s memory of it is muddled, that works. Plus as you say, it removes the PTSD issue for Ahsoka. And actually helps support Anakin’s later fear for Padmé’s life. Cus if Ahsoka died in this vision, his paranoia for her life and later Padmé’s has greater context. (Also Daughter saving Ahsoka by giving up her Life Force energy could be seen as both subtle foreshadowing for RoS and the Force trying to show Anakin how he could save Padmé’s life.)

I’m working on editing the Dark Disciple audio book into a Clone Wars style format of episodes. At some point I’d be interested in maube working with you to make that arc into a set of optional TCW:R episodes.

Also, I was thinking that during Yoda’s final arc that Sidious’s line from fortnight about the Day of Revenge could be inserted as ambient audio? It’s a great line that has no context in RoS but fits with the context of TCW & RotS.

Also, your outlined thoughts for the children act seem good to me.
