I made no changes to this arc beyond aggregation and the removal of Sugi. Sugi in this episode only has a single line and is seen in five shots, she’s the bounty hunter hired as a taxi service for the wookiees. Since she appears in my later s03e07 ‘The Shadow Collective’, I cut her from this mainly so we don’t see her in two very different jobs in such a short space of time.
I don’t see why this should be a problem. After all she’s a bounty hunter, they are not supposed to have long-term allegiances other than the highest bidder.
Otherwise I’m really excited for your recent developments and I agree the shifting forward of the episodes you mentioned does favor the storyline on paper. I’m looking forward to watch your Death of Kenobi cut when I have time (is it too much to ask for an extended edition including ‘The Box’? 😄)
