I’m glad you liked my suggestion! I played around with it for a bit to find the best placement for the lines, it was really cool when I saw Savage’s movement and line worked so naturally as a reaction to hearing Talzin’s voice, that’s when I felt it “clicked”. I like how the scene is basically framed as Talzin leaving Ventress to go help Savage, it feels like a clean continuation instead of randomly cutting to something unrelated.

All that stuff about Talzin is really interesting, I haven’t seen (or heard?) Son of Dathomir, so I didn’t know about it, it’s a neat parallel to Palpatine’s final fate, tough even the way Talzin retreats and vanishes in this episode feels similar to the way Palpatine’s survival in RotJ is described.
