Also, since Mike Chen (author of Brotherhood) was trying to honor the 03 Clone Wars series with his novel and leave place for most of it to still be canon-ish, I think a further adjust to the opening of Dark Forces Rising is necessary. In the original Palpatine essentially forces Anakin into the role of Padawan-Commander with Yoda abd Obi-wan disagreeing, and we changed it so that Palps suggests it and Yoda and Obi-wan agree immediately. The original

I’m proposing that we cut that scene completely and modify the crawl to reference the fact that Palpatine had just proposed the “Jedi-Military Integration Act” that formally created the rank of Jedi General and Commander. It was explicitly Palpatine’s idea to put Padawans (often children) on the battlefield as commanders.

Especially since he later desires to “remove the Jedi from as many military matters as possible” it helps highlight how much he’s controlled this the entire time.

Also, if you think they’re up to snuff, or can get there with polish, I’d love to see my RotS/Fall of the Republic episodes be considered as official “alternative” episodes for the finale.
