I have some brief comments about S04E10 - THE COSMIC FORCE.
I really liked most of the episode, but some portions of it I thought could be trimmed or modified.
-
The Anakin execution of Dooku with the two lightsabers resembles what we see in ROTS. I feel it effectively functions as a spoiler if someone never watched these before.
-
I felt the scenario of Anakin helping Yoda escape from his medical “prison” came off as far too childish. Yoda is considered the wisest of the Jedi, nearly 900 years old, but is treated like an irresponsible child that is not allowed to control his own life.
He also behaves childishly asking Anakin to help him escape because of his history of disobedience. Perhaps this can be modified in a way to appear that Yoda leaves of his own will without resistance along with Anakin’s assistance.
Moving to S04E02 - THE LIVING FORCE, I liked 99% of how you structured the episode. My absolute favorite cut was the Vader shenanigans. I thought that was far too aggressive with the foreshadowing.
The foreshadowing issue is also where I feel problems arise. Shortly before Father dies, he informs Anakin that he could bring balance to the galaxy, but also provides him with some caution as well. While his prophecy was not completely definitive, I still feel it is a little much with blatant foreshadowing. I do not feel as strongly as this one, but I have always been hostile to the Anakin Chosen One prophecy as it makes it too obvious what happens in the end.
