My main questions at the moment are:
1 edit or 2?
Are the flashbacks needed or not?
How will the 4 arcs connect?
This is what I’m curious about as well. Considering we are getting 12 episode seasons, I’m thinking 2 movies will end up being the sweet spot. Episode 4 will hopefully give us an idea of how the arc structure might work.
I’ve been floating ideas around and the main one I’m playing with at the moment is to set up the scene with the opening crawl and jump straight to the Security Force arriving at Ferrix. Episode 3 can then largely play out as the opening act.
If we end up being able to trim to that extent, it may be even possible to get it down to 1 movie. Which would be crazy. But I’m excited to see how you go about attempting that when all is said and done!
