I also watched the Cad Bane duology, and had a few thoughts on it. For the first episode, I agree with vranir that it’d be better to cut Bane recognizing Anakin, it comes out of nowhere and feels out of place for what it’s meant to be a new antagonist, and nothing he does or says after for the rest of the episodes indicates that there’s any history between them.

Another small odd bit is Obi-wan’s line at the end “If this Cad Bane is still here on Coruscant, I’ll find him”, since that doesn’t go anywhere. I get that you can’t just cut the line since it’s a continuous shot, but maybe you could alter it so he says “we’ll find him”, as that makes it more of a general statement.

For the second episode, I wonder if you could just cut out the bit where Bane boards the shuttle dressed like a trooper entirely, that whole scenario feels very absurd to me, and it also feels totally redundant. Anakin already lets Bane escape with the holocron after some persuation from Ahsoka, while they supposedly have to chose between chasing Bane or getting to the hangar, but then the very next scene Bane’s randomly shot and killed by a trooper at the hangar. Who’s even gonna believe for a second Bane would get unceremoniously killed off by a random trooper after outsmarting Anakin and Ahsoka? Then you have that whole deal where Bane apparently had time to switch clothes and stage his own death all while the ship’s moments away from blowing up, and at the end the result of that whole switcheroo is that Bane escapes with the holocron anyway. In the originals it was used as a way to separate the two episodes, but here it’s just unnecessary. There’s also the fact the next time we see Bane he’s back to his old clothes, how many pairs of the same hat and clothes does he have? I always thought that was silly.

I think you could simply have have Anakin and Ahsoka make the choice to let Bane go, then they get to the hangar and escape, the separatist ship blows up, cut to the Jedi Temple where they discuss how it’s unfortunate Bane escaped.
