I still feel like an uncontrolled T-virus could kill 30 billion on Christophsis. Christophsis has a population of 35 billion but like 20,000 clone ground troops is a significant force. If it manages to spread being an advanced society just means the unarmed panicking civilians can spread it between cities even faster before they zombify. Soldiers will be wiped out by volume, incubation time for infection in non-fatal scenarios is hours to a week and a half and getting everyone onto spaceships should be like trying to get everyone on Earth onto a plane or boat right now with no notice.
'I think we should listen to your Master Skywalker.' 'If you don't want me to write down your disrespectful evaluation of your Master in the report, then stop calling me by this name, Snips!' Given Anakin's reaction in this and previous chapter(s?) Ahsoka should be calling him Skyguy rather than Skywalker.
The emotions and feelings are spot on; the pacing is good; the world building is great; character development is great; power scaling is coherent, when MC isn't popping out top feats it's not because his feat levels are suddenly weaker to make the story flow but that he is intentionally concealing abilities for logical and explained reason.
So when you say mask you mean a Kakashi mask? I think this is the first time you mentioned material or fit when you mentioned cloth, also that they could see his scar and eyes. Since you had mentioned anonymity I thought something must have been done about his uniquely visible hair in the mask, with wavering when he mentioned his eye scar looked like Kakashi.
Phew, I feel stressed and anxious just reading this. You really captured the shock, horror and despair when a relative who is crushingly physically superior attacks you for no reason and youre blacking out and sure you're going to die. Even now 15-17 years later as an adult just remembering my father crushing me to the ground and strangling me into unconsciousness for an offhanded comment I had made 10-20 minutes earlier while I was eating takeaway roast chicken on a beanbag can still scare me and push me into a panic attack. I didn't even know I still felt that strongly about it still until I read this.
"Excuse me, are you Mr Anakin Skywalker?" As he immediately denies her and says Obi-Wan was the one getting a padawan I think the 'Mr' here should be 'Master'. Also when he calls her a 'Small Child' maybe 'youngling' would fit better as that's what they call their Jedi children and they actually called Ahsoka a youngling in the episode they met her.
Definitely Star Destroyer. They have been called Venator-class Star Destroyers for more than a decade and we aren't talking about something from a different franchise that is being reclassified into a Star Wars fleet. Informally you could call them a Venator battlecruiser, but Venator-class battlecruiser feels too formal to be correct as a battlecruiser is also a proper designation for 2-5km ships while 1-2km was for Star Destroyers in the Clone Wars era.
Do we need the definitions of common words peppered throughout the chapter? It feels like the original author used English words in the Chinese sentence just because he could, then put in a definition so readers could understand but the whole thing was translated to English without editing after.
I think you cut out too much from the duel scene and it lost gravitas. Originally Daelin stripped off his armour, ignoring the cries of his family before Tyrannistrasz mocked Daelin about if he would dare to attack even if he stood there, Daelin had no expectation for surviving while doing this. I think not having those three things are what makes it less meaningful, aside from other padding like it being the most awesome stab he made as a father or all the people finding it unbearable to watch Daelin's assured demise.
