Sorry that it’s been so long since I’ve output something guys. I’m not managing your expectations well - nor my own - and have found less time lately than I was expecting.
That said, I’ve got a good chunk further through s01e00 Dark Force Rising today. I ended up making far more changes than I anticipated.
I went for my option 3 above, as it’s a lot cleaner. Anakin lands, Ventress sabotages his escape, Anakin’s angry, they fight. No clones on Yavin.
I’ve got two small audio enhancements to make that rearrangement work, then two simple trims elsewhere, to have this finished off.
I’m sure you’ll all enjoy the final result, I’m just sorry it’s taken so long!
