Sounds like a great outline. Still haven’t brought myself to finish season 2 so I’m looking forward to what you put together for your edit. Any chance you’ll have something ready before s3 releases?

I’ve just cut together the first act and Entombed really isn’t a good episode and doesn’t have any relevance to the plot.

There really isn’t a perfect way to integrate Phee and Pabu into the story so I think I’m going to change tact.

Phee does need an establishing scene but I’m now going to switch it to her actual introduction from episode 1. I’m then going to have Hunter completely shut down the mission to Serrano and have the batch stay on Ord Mantell until Rex contacts them.
The downside to this tactic is that Phee gets a rather left field reintroduction at the start of the Pabu episode, but I’ll edit in a time gap for the Batch’s story buy using the outpost and some Tantiss scenes.

It also gives a better 3 act structure:

Act 1: Clone Conspiracy
First part of Spoils of War, Clone Conspiracy, Truth & Consequences.

Act 2: Mysteries of Tantiss
Small sections of Solitary Clone, couple of scenes from Metamorphosis, first part of Pabu, Outpost, first half of Tipping Point.

Act 3: The Finale
Second half of Tipping Point, The Summit, Plan 99.
