Goob/Eddie, would you mind sharing an episode poster for S03E03 Pirates of the Outer Rim? The file provided is actually for S03E02b. It’s the only one missing, though many of the episode poster numberings did differ from my saved video files, it was nothing some renaming couldn’t take care of. Thanks!
EDIT: Thanks for adding it!
Excellent, I see it, thank you.
g00b has just shared with me some absolutely gorgeous posters, for every single season and episode, all lovely and consistent, for use in Plex. Aren’t they gorgeous?!
I’ve uploaded them to the mega folder, your existing links should all work.
…
Sorry to bother you but I have a link to the tracker from a while back, it seems recent as it has mega links and subtitle links but how can I find this beautiful Plex artwork please? Thank you both Eddie and Goob!
Came here to suggest the very same, Hello There’s fan animation is INCREDIBLE and fully deserves a spot in this order even if it’s just a yt link on the sheet as bonus material like TOTJ eps are.
Is there no better way to download these other than one by one from the spreadsheet? no folder to bulk select?
I copied the spreadsheet column with the links into a notepad style app, double checked it was a list of one link per line and then added the list to jdownloader. That worked. Couple of files hit a bandwidth limit but i think that’s a per file throttling on Google’s side if the file has been downloaded too much
Phew!
No problem, I’m glad you approve and that I could save you the time experimenting with it!

This is my longest single episode yet. The Scipio arc isn’t quite brilliant, but it has a lot of good moments, and it does a lot of good work to give us the state of the war and many of the major players as we head towards the show’s conclusion. I didn’t cut it down into shorter episodes because there’s no simple breakpoint - it’s one single narrative and treating it as one keeps it all in focus as the plot progresses.
I included ‘Ahsoka’s Decision’ (even though its animation style is slightly different) and modified a little dialogue to do as much as I could to have the loss of Ahsoka visibly affect Anakin in this series - something we didn’t have before due to the show’s cancellation and revival. The new scene hasn’t got quite the same aesthetic, and it’s a little lower visual quality, but it’s the best I can do for now.
Noteworthy changes:
- The episode is titled ‘The Hand of Greed’, emphasising both the main plot and Anakin’s possessiveness toward Padmé.
- The episode is placed here as the first time we see Anakin after the loss of Ahsoka, again to emphasise that angle.
- We use ‘Ahsoka’s Decision’ as this show’s only cold open, mainly to give it a place to exist in this narrative but also to give its unique animation style some room.
- The crawl gives us the Scipio and Anakin/Padmé context in a simple way.
- The remainder of the episode is largely the three original episodes stitched together. They weren’t amazingly paced but there’s very little that isn’t necessary. (Though I am open to suggestions!)
- I changed a little of the dialogue when Obi-Wan visits Anakin’s quarters to add a little more to the Ahsoka angle and try to lightly imply that Anakin’s jealousy here may be related to the loss of Ahsoka.
- I removed Padmé’s guard asking Anakin if Rush Clovis’ account of the assault was true, to cut Anakin acting a little suprised, which might have raised suspicion.
- I removed a light reference to the connection between Palpatine and Sidious, which I’m avoiding making explicit in this show.
This now lightly forms a trilogy intended to give a bit more weight to Ahsoka’s loss in this order - Mortis, Ahsoka’s Fall, and Scipio (with one break in the middle to allow Anakin a breather offscreen).
Onwards to the Order 66 arc!
Hi Eddie, wanted to say a huge thank you for your work on this project - I’m super excited to watch through this and finally get my friend into TCW with it. With that said, I’ve been following the thread and have some feedback for the quoted episode. The line you inserted from the Ahsoka’s decision deleted scene stands out quite a bit to me, the quality of the original audio from the deleted episode is poor, maybe they hadn’t fully mixed it in the animatic that was released. Anyway, I took the liberty of editing the audio of the inserted line slightly. Please tell me what you think. I’ll provide the edited audio export from audacity too.

I’m actually not a huge fan of inserting the line, mostly because Anakin doesn’t really react to it. Maybe an audible sigh/grunt from Anakin would help. There’s a perfect pause for one when it cuts from the over the shoulder of Obi to the wide of him, with Anakin and the tool in the foreground. Anyway, hope you are well and thanks once more.
Thanks for sticking with this. Will there be a separate thread announcing the compiled release or will that occur here? Thanks Dwalin.
Yeah i have to say, all of these are amazing, puts my blu-ray to shame. Thanks so much.
Great to see another update. I still keep an eye on this thread each week. “Two eyes, as often as I can spare them.” I hope you can stay passionate, as I know it’s a long project and it must be very time consuming. Thanks again!
I just want to let my thanks be known for all your work so far on this project Dwalin! Looks fantastic, I’m really excited. Grading theatrical scenes from the Extended Bluray instead the Theatrical source, makes such an improvement in clarity, the effort is hugely appreciated!
