Full Series Shouldn't the Cad Bane taking the Senate been more epic?

SPOILER ALERT FOR SEASON 1 EPISODE 21

Also please NO SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 7 TFA!!

Star Wars CW, Hostage Crisis was a good episode, but could have been so much better? Cad Bane and a posse of bounty hunters take hostages in the Galactic Senate. Given this is the Galactic seat of government, it seems rather empty, too small and poorly guarded or lacking protocols. In addition, no on the outside world seems to notice or are too busy to help and the Jedi sense nothing? Also when help is dispatched, no Jedi are sent, nor does anyone attempt to follow Bane discreetly?

Could you make it slightly more epic and plausible as follows? Bare with it, I've tried to describe the main gist of it. The parts with Anakin and Padme can stay the same.

I liked the opening sequence was great with the bounty hunters advancing. But you needed more, maybe a Joker style dark knight attack by Cad Bane and decoys and various people being taken out.

E.g. after the initial attack on the platform, the command tower raises the alarm and the Senate goes on alert. Senate Guards from inside arrive at the scene, but the attackers are gone and all those on the platform dead. An initial response team is sent by GAR Command, who we see ordering nearby garrisoned units to respond to the Senate crisis. We see one garrison of troopers scramble and two gunships take off. The communication tower relaying signals between the Senate, GAR command and the Jedi Temple are hit by a second bounty hunter team who are betrayed by Bane as their ship explodes along with it. In addition, various explosions on transports and buildings near the Senate on Coruscant distract everybody and the Jedi are trying to work out what is going on.

Remember, from this point, primary ground communications out of the Senate are down. Two gunships approach the main docking area. The rest of the Senate is shown to be locking down internally by massively thick blast doors and internal shields so that this upper east wing area is cordoned off from elsewhere. Anakin is shown to be wondering what is going on, and heads toward the east wing lobby. Senators and staff are evacuating on the other side. The only people inside this east section section near the main docking area are the Senators who are later hostage, Anakin, two guard units and the Chancellor himself. The Senators are stuck inside the lobby and are told to remain where they are till help arrives by the voice announcer. There are two more units of Senate Guards in this wing - one guard rotation and another lot on the platform.

The two gunships we saw earlier comm the guards on the platform. The clone pilot provides the necessary authorization code and also informs them that they will secure the Chancellor and that more backup is on the way with two Jedi Generals to assist and also hunt down the attackers. The Senate guards on the platform lower the energy shield and the gunships move into to dock. Suddenly, when landing at the main docking area, one gunship fires on the other destroying it and all the troopers inside. It then proceeds to hover over the platform.

Clones jump out of it and kill the Senate guards on the platform supported by the gunship which lands when all the guards are dead. Cad Bane takes off his helmet and order his posse to move forward (all are disguised in trooper uniform) as he reactivates the energy shield. The commando droid fakes the guard's voice (as in the episode to the guard rotation) to tell the command tower that backup is here. The command tower informs them that the east wing of the Senate is now secured by lockdown.

Cad Bane and one half of the bounty hunters go and kill the guard rotation (as in the episode, but dressed as troopers), whilst the other team cuts off internal communications and destroys the ability of anyone to enter through the lockdown by reconfiguring the doors to only accept orders from inside.

At this time, two gunships full of troopers and one commando team led by two Jedi onboard - say Masters Adia Gallia and Shaak Ti, attempt to enter the main docking area, but there is no one on the platform to respond to their hails and the shield is still raised. They land at the west side of the building. A discussion between them and the Senate Guards on the ground reveal they thought backup had already arrived. Internal communication is down. When they attempt to open the lockdown doors to reach the Chancellor above, they realize the lockdown is sealed from the inside. Even a lightsaber will not be able to cut through the several feet wide security doors quickly. They start to cut through with the commando's special heavy welders, but note it will take time.

Cad Bane and his posse enter the lobby and take the Senators hostage and communicates with the Chancellor who has been sealed in as the tech guy bounty hunter disables the internal systems. And the episode continues as normal. Except the Chancellor maintains his "good guy image" and tells the Jedi and key Senators/GAR command in a hostage message that Bane sends out not to release the Hutt. However, Mas Amedda, the Speaker authorizes it fearing for the Chancellor's life and also the two Jedi believe it will buy time as the shield will have to be lowered to land at the main docking platform with the Hutt.

The part with Anakin continues as normal (him reaching the lobby, then having to flee and later being incapacitated and ultimately unable to overwhelm the bounty hunters). But maybe he takes a few of them out and is only disabled facing many attackers (like on Zygeria), rather than just two (he is the Chosen one after all!).

Bane leaves as usual as his prisoner is released and brought to the main docking platform (by a third team who he requested should collect the prisoner and be allowed to fly there unhindered). The shield has to be dropped for them to land. At this time, two gunships fly in to smash through just like the episode to the Chancellor except they are joined by Shaak Ti and Adia Gallia this time.

Down at the platform two gunships approach as a sniper dot appears on Bane's chest. Bane simply smiles. Clone troopers exit the gunship along with the commando's who surround the bounty hunters and the Chancellor delivers his ultimatum just like the original episode. Bane then mentions the Senators, and the Chancellor hesitates. Looking at the Jedi Masters who nod, he orders the troopers to stand down. Bane and his posse leave with the Hutt on the third team's vehicle as Anakin wakes up and saves the hostages.

As Cad Bane is getting away, he sets off the internal explosion, but the hostages are saved by Anakin. An old looking vehicle piloted by Jedi Master Cin Drallig and Knight Serra Keto track and follow him discreetly. They attempt to ambush him with a separate unit of clones in a gunship ahead of his path, but during the firefight over one of those sinkholes we saw in the whole Asoka chase in Season 6, Bane's vehicle supposedly explodes. However they later find evidence that he survived along with the Hutt and posse, and escaped via one of the drains. But they find a leftover clue (like Obi Wan used Fett's dart) leading to the planet where Obi Wan and Qui Lon Vos are later dispatched.

Isn't that better?

 

Hostage Crisis is one of those TCW episode where you wish the show had a longer running time............

 

I don't think you need to put spoiler warning on something from 08.
