My s01e04 - The 501st Legion now has its v1.3 uploaded incorporating the notes from the last page.
My s01e05 - Cloak of Darkness v1.2 with fixed credits is uploading now, but I won’t be able to fix the link in the spreadsheet till the morning.
My s01e01 - The New Padawan has rendered a fixed version (v1.7), which I’ll upload in the morning.

These are all now uploaded and available via the tracker spreadsheet.

Next up, s01e06 - Nightsisters (removing the invisible Dooku fight)

Rendering now. I removed all of the invisible fight, and changed the Dooku-Talzin phonecall (mainly to hide the broken glass.) Now, the phonecall emphasises how much Dooku likes Dathomiri stock, which ties back nicely to our s01e00 and those Tartakovsky scenes Hal added subtitles for.

This is a more streamlined version of the episode now, running at 55 mins instead of 61, and I don’t think we miss anything by cutting that long scene. Now, implicitly Dooku’s more badass since they know they can’t face him head-on without subterfuge. And now there’s only a single plan: “I want my revenge on Dooku” > “OK, let’s trick him using a sleeper agent.” This actually works pretty well, because it leans more into the whole darkside using subterfuge angle, but it’s also a fun parallel to exactly the intention of Order 66, which this streamlined version emphasises. “You’ll drop your guard if we give you a combat servant to fight for and alongside you”. They played the Sith at Sidious’ game and nearly killed Dooku with it.

I’ve also cleaned up a little of the later Jedi/Maul conflict, just to trim a couple of odd moments.

then s01e07 - Ryloth (cleaning up the workprint). And then I don’t think the rest really needed much polish, but I’ll check.

Working on now.
