I’ve just run a polish pass on Movie 2, which I’ll call ‘Declaration’. It’s a synonym of both ‘announcement’ and ‘manifesto’, two subjects of this episode, and of course the action is a Luthen’s declaration of war. (Also this way I don’t steal an existing episode name.) NFBisms said this one was flawless already, but there were a couple of transitions I just wasn’t happy with, so I went back to it. It was suprisingly hard, actually, because the transition which stood out most to me had a big knock-on effect when trying to shift scenes around. I ended up pulling one of the Dedra-Blevin meeting scenes earlier, which actually serves the timeline a lot better, making more time for Blevin to go establish the base on Ferrix (newly re-added), and better aligns with Maarva’s comments in movie 3 that the Empire moved in to Ferrix early. Very happy with this one - it’s rendering now, and it’ll be uploaded shortly after.

NFB, as for your comments on movie 4, that’s a fair point. I think I need to stick with this ordering, because (1) movie 4 needs to open on the Maarva sickness content, (2) having Vel meet Kleya on Coruscant wouldn’t fit before it in movie 4 (with enough implied time passing for her to come to Ferrix), and (3) putting Vel and Kleya in movie 3 would interrupt the end of the prison break and not match the plotlines of that movie. But as you suggest, small dialogue trims in that scene would convey the same context without being a radical ommission. I’ll see.
