Well this season was a disappointment. The bad batch are boring and largely aimless as they work for a snake and have an annoying kid tagging along.
I would see if you could cut as much as snake lady as possible as well as a lot of dialogue between wrecker and omega. There’s just no real character development at all.

Perhaps the show could be refocused on growing pains as the republic gradually turns imperial? I would also cut out most of the cameos since they’re ultimately fan service and make the galaxy seem smaller since everyone knows each other. Is it fan service if the fans think it’s silly though? 🤔

The whole tidal wave planet should also be reduced. We all know it would never work out and it was filler anyway.

If this fanedit is to be darker, then a lot of the above needs to be cut.
