So here’s the current crawl(s) for our episode s01e03, THE DUCHESS OF MANDALORE. (This is my episode with Obi-Wan and Satine on Mandalore and the Coronet ship, NOT the original episode titled ‘DUCHESS OF MANDALORE’, which is set on Coruscant.)

This episode is all polished up to 2.0 standards for opening, closing, and transitions, with a fixed shot so the spider bot doesn’t suddenly disappear. I just have to improve the opening transition, insert the Ahsoka shots, and check one bit of audio, then it should be ready for QC and release.

This episode immediately follows the Malevolence episode, which ended with Grievous’ flagship destroyed, and Grievous fleeing. Bear in mind, for context, that I’m going to treat the pursuit of Grievous as a mini-focus for the first half of the season, with the next episode (s01e04) featuring Ahsoka fighting Ventress (while Anakin and Obi-Wan pursue Grievous), before the following episode (s01e05) has Ventress and Grievous attack the Kamino cloning facility.

This episode doesn’t originally feature Ahsoka, but I’m going to add some scenes of her studying on Coruscant here, to give her a little presence early on where it’s more important, keep the beginning of the show consistent, and also to explain why she doesn’t appear in all episodes.

Crawl Option 1 (slightly more emphasising Mandalore)

Conflicts erupt in the early days of the Clone Wars.
As the Republic’s war against the Separatists spreads across the galaxy, thousands of worlds still refuse to take sides in the conflict.
Having rejected its warlike past, the ravaged planet MANDALORE now leads the Council of Neutral Systems, to preserve their peace.
Now, a MANDALORIAN WARRIOR has attacked a Republic cruiser, sparking fears of a secret Mandalorian alliance with Count Dooku.
As the clone army hunts for Grievous, Anakin returns Ahsoka to the Jedi temple to continue her studies, leaving Obi-Wan to investigate alone.
But his old friend SATINE may prove more than he can handle…
