That’d be awesome RogueLeader, thanks very much!

Here’s a brief update on the state of play:

I know this period of time has likely felt like a lot of thinking and not a lot of doing, but there’s been a huge amount of prep work and planning behind the scenes. I have pages and pages of notes on the content produced to date, and once I’ve written up my final thoughts on the ordering of season three (probably tomorrow) that’s absolutely everything done that gets me ready to return to editing.

I’ll (re)produce episodes now in the new - final - order. So it’ll be a good time to jump on if you’ve been waiting for the final polish pass, or if you want to view the episodes within the final coherent season structure to get a feel for how the episodes flow together. Those episodes should be relatively quick to produce, or at least have a steady cadence, so if you’re interested in watching along (and commenting!) “live” then that would be the right time to begin.

Once I’m done with finalising seasons one to three, the remainder should follow fairly steadily too, since I’m now very confident in my narrative and technical skills, and everything I need to do to polish and complete them. I’m super excited.

Anyway, one little thing to share with you all is that now I’ve really reviewed each season as a whole, I’ve now refocused the first lines of each season’s opening text (the part that appears for every episode in the season), to best emphasise the theme of the season and help show the passing eras of this ongoing war. They are as follows:

  1. Conflicts erupt in the early days of the Clone Wars. (Many Separatist strikes this season.)
  2. The Clone Wars spread chaos and instability across the Galaxy. (Focus on Scum and Villainy and corruption.)
  3. Shades of Grey emerge as the Clone Wars grow more complex. (Loads of compromise and temptation, and third parties.)
  4. The ceaseless Clone Wars challenge even the strongest wills. (All focal characters get pushed to extremes.) [Not quite sure on this one, maybe change ‘ceaseless’ for something implying they’ve engulfed the galaxy.]
  5. Conspiracies abound in the final days of the Clone Wars. (Order 66, Sifo-Dias, Palpatine, Mauldalore, etc.)
