CC, what a great combination of story and visuals. A long chapter with plenty of action, I particularly liked Yoda's statement "“Not ready for many of the greatest trials in life are we, but face them we must.”wise words indeed. You've both done a superb job and this is my favourite chapter to date.
Your writing is right on-point, the interplay between characters, paricularly Anakin and Rex is superb, and the continuing friendship between Anakin and Palpatine makes a great read.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
