S03x03 - Maul
I LOVED how you merged those three eps together, the story does flow quite nicely as one piece!
The two transitions are a little rough however, specially from the first to the second episode. Maybe some random scene from a cut episode (just them flying in space for about five seconds) could help with a little breath.
28:30-28:50 - could maybe cut this and improve the pace? They JUST told they were tracking and going to follow Ezra anyway, don’t need two scenes in a row stating the same point.
43:44. Cut this “Maul’s back” since the story is in pretty much one go now?
44:30. Cut the “I wanna go to Tatooine” line? Makes no sense, how does Ezra all of a sudden even know about Tatooine? I know he just goes there in the next scene anyway, but that we can infer that was just the following of Maul’s voice/presence.
Also, the third part could REALLY be trimmed down considerably, there’s just so much uninteresting filler in here,
the whole ezra+chopper shenanigans feels kind of out of place for such an important lore episode.And maybe cut Ezra getting back to his friends? The end here is beyond rushed, Kanan doesn’t even ask about Obi-wan, what the hell. So just leaving it out could actually be a better narrative, you know, leaving to the viewers how the characters debated what happened down there.
Thanks as always for the feedback! I’ve saved it and tucked it away for when I get back to this episode! 😃
I felt the benefit to having it all as one episode allowed for season 3 to focus more on Thrawn (rather then having split Villains), allows for easy episode selection for those only interested in Mauls plotline, and as you mentioned, flows well enough as one story!
