Thoughts to self: I’d still very much like to get the shot of Anakin and Padmé hugging in from Evil plans somewhere, and possibly the scenes of Ahsoka and Padmé / Ahsoka and Yoda from Assassin.

Possibly the latter could go into Death Watch, since it’s now my episode two, and I could change “Anakin’s escorting Ahsoka elsewhere” to make it explicit he’s taking her off to further training (since canonically and in this series there’s a schooling element to being a padawan), either under Yoda or a bit of political training under Padmé. It’d still be pretty light though, and it feels like it might take the wind out of that episode’s sails. Not sure.

The former could go in a few places. For good heft it comes after a little trauma or a little introspection regarding romance, and it needs Anakin on Coruscant. So end of Death Watch could also work - he’s just spotted that Obi-Wan has some awkward romance stuff so he goes to Padmé to enjoy that he has some love in his life. It could also come during the Holocron Crisis, which is already quite Anakin/Padmé heavy, though right now I like how those few ending beats work (with Anakin being sus with Palpatine, then Ahsoka training the younglings.) Geonosis could also be an option but I haven’t reviewed that one in a long time.

Unrelated thought:

This memory may be out of date, but I think I was intending to cut Order 66 arc down quite a lot, for pacing and because it’s key moments are pretty sparse. If I can get the whole thing very short, I’ll also look to cutting it directly into Yoda’s first episode, the Sifo-Dyas one, if possible.
