Yeah that episode could work possibly, especially as Ventriss is very much the infiltrator, and Asoka does meet her face to face. It would be good to make the first Episode very much in the flavour of 'the Seperatists are Winning', then some event would turn the war. Malevolence does this, but there is no Ventriss.:(

I do agree with what you mean about keeping the clonetroopers more anonymous and mysterious. This could actually be more valuable than using them as stand ins for the rebel staff in the OT.

I guess it also depends on what content will feature in Episode 2 and 3 of the trilogy.

I'm really enjoying the new story arc of Maul and the Mandalorians. If this was to be an Episode 3 storyline, then Maul would have to be introduced earlier, and couldn't rely on his appearance in TPM. Could it be possible to construct an emnity with Obi Wan based on their two fights before this story arc?
