I wasn’t sure about adding the Forces of Destiny stuff at first, but it does give you more Padmé content. And Padmé and Ahsoka teaming up regularly helps build up their friendship in their Clone Wars episodes. I think it makes sense that Ahsoka would kind of know about Anakin and Padmé, so I think it would benefit to include that implication.
Also, I LOVE the new Revival title, Pirates of the Outer Rim.
I think Del’s idea to include the FoD stuff would upgrade the current Tales from the Clone Wars episode to at least Continuity level, since it fills in a few gaps, and with the added focus on main characters it’s a bit more important now. And as you say, Ahsoka/Padmé is a good pairing, and this episode would fit nicely between their first kind-of-joint-mission on Mandalore and their larger friendship in The Politics of War.
I thought you’d like Pirates of the Outer Rim! 😉 It’s got that nice pulpy feel, while also being totally appropriate since the episode is about two groups of pirates.
