Thank you both! It’s kind of wild that this started as a little idea that I just ran with.

Rogue, I’m not suggesting people watch TOTJ then TCW:R, and it’s not something I’ll roll into the plan for this show - it’s more just something I discovered that offers a fun perspective.

But yes, it might spawn some good AOTC thoughts. Since I’ve got an episodic hat on lately, I can see the merits in splitting the Anakin and Obi-Wan plots out entirely, for example, and not having Anakin at Geonosis.

Vranir, I agree. I think it might suit a movie more than episodes, but maybe this ordering could work:

Establish in the crawl that Christophsis is somehow important to the Kamino situatoin, and that all of this is happening out in the same region of the Outer Rim, near Kamino, where Grievous is targeting clone facilities and Ventress is assassinating key Republic assets. Luminara is running priority supplies to and from the region, but has just been diverted to pick up the freshly captured Nute Gunray, who’s stolen secrets which could help Grievous assault Kamino. Since Anakin’s knighted, Obi-Wan’s requested a new padawan.
Anakin and Obi-Wan break down to the Christophsis surface. They have some sort of important business there. [From the Christophsis arc]
Nearby(ish), Grievous wipes out Plo Koon’s ship and starts pod killing survivors. We establish a threat to clones. [From Malevolence]
Anakin and Obi-Wan set up their base on Christophsis, but get ambushed, then go to hunt down Ventress who’s behind it. Separatist forces on Christophsis are revealed to have already landed on the planet.
Sidious tells Dooku that Nute Gunray has secrets and must be retrieved. Dooku assigns Ventress to recover him, drawing her away from Christophsis.
The Malevolence situation is recognised as an emergency by the Republic, and this gets relayed round the fleet (just after the Christophsis forces get their Comms jammed). Luminara becomes the relay to Christophsis.
Luminara, who is escorting Ashoka somewhere (maybe she’s just Luminara’s padawan, we think?), delivers Gunray to her larger ship. Ventress arrives, causes chaos, and rescues Gunray, but we see Ashoka in action. Luminara returns to her original mission. [Assassin]
We return to Christophsis. Anakin and Obi-Wan are preparing for a ground battle, and receive delivery of supplies from Luminara’s ship. Ashoka is delivered too (she’s to be Anakin’s padawan?!) and she relays that there’s an emergency. But with the unexpected force on Christophsis, they can’t respond yet.
The rest of Christophsis plays out, the Separatist forces are defeated, and the key trio head to space to deal with the Malevolence emergency.
We return to Plo’s team in space. They’re struggling and being hunted. Plo tells his troops “you’re individuals and important to me”.
Cut to Domino Squad training. [Domino squad arc] We see this group as individuals. They fail training.
The main trio rescue Plo, and race to take out the Malevolence. It’s destroyed, but Grievous flees. We imply this was a key distraction.
Cut to Domino Squad on the Rishi moon. They’re watching for a possible attack on Kamino. Droids take over the base.
Anakin takes Ashoka back to Coruscant. Stuff is heating up in the region, it’s not safe for a brand new padawan. She’s done now for this movie, but she’s had a lot of action.
Rex and Cody arrive on the Rishi moon, as Anakin and Obi-Wan hunt for Grievous. Both plots are revealed to be linked- Grievous is using the silencing of this base as a way to sneak attack on Kamino. Everyone rushes to Kamino (including Ventress) and they all fight there and save the planet. End.
