And that’s rendering now. Should take a while as it’s my longest yet, at 55:45.
I’m really pleased with how that came out. As fun as The Box episode is, I think this way it plays as a much more focused episode that’s tighter on Obi-Wan and especially refocused on Anakin’s tension with the Jedi and his relationship with Palpatine.
I added a couple of nice touches I was pleased with too - firstly, I relocated Dooku’s Naboo base to the one he uses during other episodes, using establishing shots from Blue Shadow Virus (horrible!) and Shadow Warrior (the best JarJar episode; still horrible!).
Secondly, I added reference to Quinlan Vos as the Jedi who hunted down both Cad Bane and Moralo Eval. Whilst he doesn’t appear in my TCW:R, I thought this was a nice way to give him a nod (and inline with his canon appearances). Plus, one scene I’d hoped to include but ultimately had to cut was his fight with Cad Bane, so I think this is a way of flirting with some version of that fun scene, even though it’s not a part of TCW:R.
Really excited to share this one with you guys, it’s a great romp.
