As for ep. 2, I remember looking at Kamino and going: those energy tubes and the power looks like the generator tubes on Naboo during the final duel. That's what gave me the idea to link them.

I also took Jango, changed his name to Prima, and moved him into ep. 1 but only as one of a squad of mandalorian commandos that help the sith and federation.

Prima was then the lone survivor after the jedi and republic take them out at the end of ep. 1(which in my writing was the first major battle in the Clone Wars).
