  • The Deserter / Gregor (Droids in the Void) / Hidden Enemy / Grievous Intrigue: Do the first three work well as a “Lost clones” anthology? Do the first two work better as a Rex-focused duology? Does Grievous Intrigue paired with the Deserter give us a stronger episode overall? Does Grievous Intrigue work well elsewhere - perhaps interspliced with Cloak of Darkness, currently my weakest epiasode?

Honestly the action scenes in this episode are pretty good, featuring the Grievous/Obi-Wan duel that is pretty even. These could be part of the Grievous manhunt that is implied in your Season 1 opening texts.

  • Revival / Younglings arc: I need to see what I can do to flip the chronology of these without it breaking anything.

The key points of continuity between the early season 5 episodes (Revival, the Younglings arc and in a lesser capacity the Onderon arc) are the following:

  • Grievous sacking Hondo’s base in Younglings. Revival shows the base almost in ruins and full of wreckage, and Grievous is mentioned by Hondo as the culprit.
  • Hondo’s character model progression (from the early season-like Onderon arc Hondo and the greatly updated model for the other two arcs)
  • If Revival is shifted later it might solve at least a few of the issues arising from Adi Gallia’s death, namely her role in the Citadel arc.
  • Order 66 arc / The Last One (first Yoda arc episode): I wonder if these can be tied together, since in TLO Yoda is actively investigating O66.

An interesting thing that came up to my mind: in the Legends continuity, the last stage of the war, concurrent with the Outer Rim Sieges, involved the Jedi leading further investigations into the identity of Sidious, almost unmasking him if it weren’t for the battle of Coruscant. They even search Sidious and Dooku’s hidden meeting place at Coruscant, something that happens in vision form in TCW.

In Legends what triggers these investigations is an oversight by Gunray that provides evidence to the Jedi, but in your recut TCW it could be the incident with Fives or the revelation that Dooku=Tyranus and that he was involved in the creation of the clones. In the opening text for The Lost One you could state that the chip incident has led the Jedi to launch an investigation, leading up to Plo Koon discovering the place where Sifo-Dyas died.
