As a little aside for today...

Did anyone catch the Cone Wars episode Trespass?

This was a great episode that ALMOST fits between my Ep1 and 2 outlines.

The chairman is extremely paranoid and requests aid from the senate. This is what I was talking about with worlds looking out for themselves and not the good of the whole republic.

The Jedi are a peaceful influence who will NOT go to war, but are looking for truth and justice.

Obiwan guides the young senator but doesn't solve her problem with his lightsaber.

And since we never see a clone face, the republic troops could just be troops.

Even C3p0 is almost dignified.

All around GREAT episode!

Only two things don't fit in with the NPT...

The trashed droid ship should be a Mandalorian clone ship and there should be no mention of the jedi council.
