Regarding the Corruption episode stuff with the drinks, maybe they could be referred to as “T” because they’re full of liquid Tibanna gas.
Brilliant and obvious. If I go this route, I’ll use that.
Also, I enjoyed you rant on the order of watching the series. I think you’re absolutely right. Since Palpatine=Sidious is sort of treated as a reveal in the context of the prequels, then it makes sense to try to preserve that reveal for ROTS.
Yeah. That ordering accounts for the future state of a growing franchise but which grew out of the OT, and as the franchise grows (and the characters and stories grow beyond OT based plots), the prequel era continues to be both very interesting and not a spoiler for the OT. The Bad Batch, Fennec Shand, Obi-Wan during the Dark Times, Andor, these are all going to be exciting and new irrespective of us knowing the later fate of the Galaxy. But because Clone Wars focuses so much on elements of the OT (Anakin, Obi-Wan, Luke and Leia’s parentage, Sidious), it loses some jeopardy, so the highlight value of it should be carefully picked.
I guess this is sort of different, but I also feel like Vader tease in Mortis is a bit too much. Yeah, we all know Anakin is Vader or whatever, but in the context of the prequels, that reveal still doesn’t come until Revenge of the Sith. So, I guess I’m saying I feel like trimming out other forms of blatant foreshadowing should also be considered.
I agree. I love Anakin’s rising darkness, but I don’t like when we foreshadow too heavily. I’m already going to quite heavily cut Mortis, to make it much more of an ambiguous vision than something tangible and explicit.
