I'm rewatching the best Ashoka episodes from TCW and Rebels. Her story is so much better than I remembered. I'm glad she hasn't appeared in any films because they would undoubtedly ruin her story arc. The most recent two episodes on TCW are fantastic for her as well.
I also recently watched all of Star Wars: Resistance. Holy **** the protagonist and his best friend are so ****ing annoying. The protagonist's behavior is so grating that I had to ignore most of the first season whenever he was on screen. There are some cool episodes, but mostly it was just filler bullshit to create some kind of shallow backstory for The First Order. Oh, and an excuse to show a gold plated Stormtrooper. |

FWIW, the Rule of Two was retconned in the Rise of Skywalker novel:
---- The Rise of Skywalker novelization provides a solution to the conundrum, in the form of a passage Rey reads from an ancient Jedi text. "The Prime is One, but the Jedi are Many. The Sith were Many but often emerge Ruled by Two." This clarifies that while there can be multiple Sith at any time, they are ruled by the leading two. This scenario would fit the pattern that was set in the supplementary material of two Sith being in charge, and others acting in secret. This explanation also works on a meta-level -- the reason that Sith lords crop up to violate the clean "Rule of Two" often arises from supplementary works. If everyone pretended that only the movies were in-canon, it wouldn't be a problem. However, Star Wars has a rich expanded universe, set in between the events of the movies. And those supplementary works need villains, which often end up being Sith, regardless of the "Rule of Two." |

And I guess I'll finally see Rise of Skywalker next week, since it'll be on D+.

This was a flat out bad film. IMO Jar Jar Abrams did a much better job with his Star Trek (2009) reboot (which isn't saying that much but I quite liked the new Star Trek reboot cast compared to the cringeworthy new SW cast)
