A decent enough conclusion to the Onderon arc, with development for Lux, Saw, Ahsoka, and the Onderon rebellion.

Noteworthy changes:

This episode is titled ‘Kings of Onderon’, for the Onderon connection but the shifted focus to its rulers.
Regarding placement, as above, it’s just a sensible finale, really. Just marginally more ‘relevant’ than the rest of the big season three episodes.
I use the opening text to recap the previous one, but go a bit stronger on the rebellion angle.
I sped up the transition between the rescue in the royal square and the arrival back in the wilderness, so that now having saved the King the rebels immediately flee the city, rather than conducting a few more operations within it first over a number of days. The action now happens over a single day, with King Rash immediately pursuing them into the wilderness with his full force, so it feels a lot more tense.
As much as I love Hondo, I removed him altogether. Previously the attack on the rebel base was conducted in phases, with enough downtime during them for Ahsoka to call Anakin, Anakin to fly to Felucia, Hondo to fly to Onderon, and Ahsoka to distribute the rockets. This added implied hours to the battle. Now, the rebels already have the anti-air rockets, and once their own assumed air superiority gets challenged by the new droid airships, they quickly move to fetch and distribute the guns. It’s no less tense, and this worked out suprisingly smoothly. There’s still a good amount of battle though since it’s a visually interesting one in an otherwise quite political episode.
