I’ve had an interesting idea for the remainder of season 4 and wanted to get more thoughts on it. A lot of the Lothal ark seems to play out like a movie and unlike the rest of the show, I actually think it could be worked into a film. Honestly, revisiting this long ark with this in mind makes me think there was going to be a movie but they decided against it. Most episodes pick up from where the last one left off (which is quite rare for rebels unless it’s a two part episode) AND at the beginning of this ark we are reintroduced to the characters/their goals/their relationships/their previous presence on Lothal. This doesn’t make much sense in a TV show but if you’re making a movie and consider that the audience watching may not have seen the show, it certainly makes a lot of sense.

My current The TIE Defender and Assault on the factory episodes could be combined for a more “movie” like episode with the final part of the film being the S04E10: Jedi Night. This would also leave room for potentially another feature length episode with the remaining episodes but I’m not too sure about that yet.

If I go down this route, I would likely reframe every shot to give it a more cinematic resolution and add film grain for that extra bit of authenticity as well as make a traditional star wars opening crawl for it. What does everything think about this season in particular?
