Continuing to take stock of my excluded / non-Quality-Cut episodes.
The Dooku Captured duology is alright, when I get to it I can probably cut out having them all tied together, and minimise Jar Jar, which were my main objections. There’re a couple of decent Dooku lines I might use elsewhere, and Obi-Wan’s spacewalk which is quite nice. Weirdly enough, the original episode has discontinuity, where the fist episode ends with Obi-Wan and Anakin successfully avoiding being drugged, and then the second episode having them wake up having been drugged.
The Lurmen duology is quite boring, though it begins with one of the best space battles of the series. I might cut the entirety of Lok Durd and the Lurmen, leaving it to be the great space battle followed by the quick theft of a shuttle from the Separatist compound, unless I can find a better place for it. Problem is probably that Aayala Secura doesn’t appear in many other episodes, so you can’t play out the full thing, though it might make an opening to any old episode if you just cut after Anakin blacks out. I’d want to at least have a bit of context though, rather than just sticking it on somewhere. If I can’t make the cut of Lok Durd and the Lurmen work, I’d just release this in full.
Orto Plutonia has nothing to use, but is fine (in the Complete Cut).
