501st Legion - beginning felt a bit disjointed and tacked on, though I get that it sets up heavy and 99’s sacrifices. everything after the time skip was smooth and felt cohesive. pretty good episode for early clone wars.

I feel like I probably am settled on this one, since I think the current structure is necessary to sell the failure aspect, and set up the characters that remain in the show. But I appreciate the input!

Resistance on Ryloth - transition from retreating ships going into hyperspace fading out to same ships floating in space was awkward. I’d cut from hyperspace shot to anakin talking to ahsoka inside the ship (wipe, radial); music transition from Syndulla’s appearance to Ahsoka with general guy in the medbay was rather abrupt. good episode overall, possibly my favorite so far.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I know the transition you mean, and interestingly it was actually this way in the original episode (though probably split by an advert break). I’ll see if I can soften it a bit, but if memory serves I tried a few variants which placed other scenes (from the other episodes) there, but found it messed with the story’s pacing.
