Thought 3: Season two ends on the reveal of a new droid factory. Season three begins with Padmé successfully stopping the creation of more clones - made more potent if the discussion is directly following the reveal of more droids. I’ll now move Umbara up (for a few reasons) - now, having Krell deliberately throwing away clones makes even more insidious sense if he’s already a pawn of Dooku. Then in the season three finale, Onderon, I’ll play up the fact that reduced clones have forced the Republic to turn to new strategies such as guerilla tactics (implicitly indirectly seeding the future rebellion). Also, I’ve realised the kicker I want for the opening text in the season three premiere (the Padmé episode) should be: “The republic needs more soldiers, but its citizens need peace.”
