I’m assuming you will be removing the Yoda cameo? I’d be wary of removing the Plagueis cameo, because at least that explains how Quimir and Osha are screwed.
You’re right. Yoda out. But Plagueis is cool just before the credits roll indeed, for the reason you mention. 😃. And the link between Vernestra and Q’mir doesn’t make sense now in a standalone story… it was setting up season 2…
