Thanks very much for the feedback! I’m very glad you’re enjoying it.

The remaining early Tartakovsky stuff (including Ilum) is next to be re-included. It actually WAS there previously, as the interlude in an episode grouped with the Forces of Destiny stuff. But I replaced that version with the new interlude pairing FoD with the TotJ episode, so it’s on the cutting room floor again, temporarily. It’ll be the next thing I pick up.

As for the Filoniverse cut not being self contained, I feel like that’s the compromise the viewer has to accept. To speed run the show, you must assume that other skipped stuff may be referenced. I don’t have the intention to create alternate openings, or generic ones that work either way, at least. The recommended version is the recommended one - Filoniverse cut is more of a bonus.

Hope you enjoy the rest!
