Good progress on s01e09 - A Strike at the Heart (our holocron heist episode).

I’ve removed the scene I’ve shifted to an earlier episode and got the main body all polished up, including some visual and audio transitions. I’ve also smoothed out the ending scene, which I was never quite happy with. I’m just going to see if I can add a little context to the new beginning of the episode, then I can wrap it up and release it.

Here’s the opening crawl:

Conflicts erupt in the early days of the Clone Wars.
As both militaries shift their focus to large-scale strategic priorities, bounty hunters are increasingly hired as precision tools.
One is the Duros CAD BANE and his network of specialists, hired by the Sith Lord DARTH SIDIOUS to carry out a personal mission.
Meanwhile, with Anakin back on Coruscant, he and his secret wife Padmé have found a little time to spend together as a couple.
Ahsoka has performed her duties guarding the Jedi archive with humility, and Master Yoda has now assigned her to the library floor.
But the Sith Lord’s subterfuge is about to disrupt this brief peace.

I reference Bane’s ‘network of specialists’ in order to justify the fact that he has two apparent crews in this combined episode. I also specifically call out the difference between general ‘archive duty’ and the specific ‘library floor’ to smooth over Ahsoka’s assignment to the archive two episodes prior, but her being walked through the library (and holocron vault) in this episode. The archive can contain many different areas, and this is now a more senior post (for ‘humility’, which was the point of her discipline). I mentioned that it was Yoda who put her there as a way of tipping my hat to a cut scene of Yoda having a feeling that an attack on the vault might be coming. I also chose to emphasise the brief moment of peace the characters are currently enjoying, as it’ll be the last they get for a good while now, and I’m setting up this group of episodes as a brief lull in the war.
