Ooh, here’s another one:

Lair of Grievous isn’t an episode I’m looking to include in any major way, but its two strengths are (1) showing Grievous’ home lair, and (2) some of Grievous’ viciousness, especially when he kills Nadar.

I was wondering if I could incorporate any of that somewhere - perhaps as a scene to precede a Grievous-heavy episode, and one that follows him taking some damage.

One place it could potentially go is at the start of Massacre, where he’s very fervent about destroying the Nightsisters (even though he’s not encountered them onscreen and their main rival in the show thus far is Dooku). You could establish that, in revenge against Dooku, the Nightsisters have leaked key information to the Jedi order, including the location of the hidden base of Dooku’s top General, Grievous. The Jedi have tracked and attacked Dooku, and now pursue him as he flees. That justifies Grievous seeking repair, and we can get in his furious attack on Nadar. Now, his vengeance on the Nightsisters is also personal. This leak could also be the reason that the Jedi peacefully meet with the Nightsisters later after Maul’s return, which I could also play up. It could also help explain why we don’t see the Separatists much in my season two, if they’re responding to a few implicitly major leaks.
