Merging Holocron Heist and Hostage Crisis was a great idea and well-executed. It makes for a much more exciting and fast-paced conflict, besides improving some aspects like why does Palpatine seem so complacent during the Senate crisis.

Maybe the bit where Cad Bane is reaching Cato through the comlink could be trimmed further cutting the shot where we see Bane calling to her, mostly because in retrospective it becomes more noticeable than a shot from the later Jedi Temple sequence is used (and TODO is not present during any other Senate scene) and I’d say the scene would work and flow fine without that brief shot.

The only technical issue I noticed was a rogue frame of the fish bounty hunter laughing before it cuts back to Bane.

Now moving on to Part 2, great work as always Eddie, keep improving 😄

I got time to help with translated subtitles or closed captions if you want to
