Yeah, sadly it feels like we’re putting more energy into this conversation than Disney’s execs put into the Canon.

You know, to echo KCK, I’d absolutely be into a SW film where Darth Vader tries to hunt down Ahsoka. There would be a lot of great directions they could go with that. I know Rebels touches on it but they left her survival and the outcome of that confrontation very open ended.

Going to be hard without James Earl Jones. He'd be in his 90s.

Darth Vader might be the most interesting character in the saga. I'm not sure I'd agree that Anakin is. As good as The Clone Wars was, I'm not sure they ever really removed the stink of the prequel trilogy from the character.

I think they'd be better off making the Ahsoka Tano series they're purportedly making. I think we've had enough Skywalkers, but at the same time she's not all that far a tangent from them.

Anyway, we already know that the next film is likely set in this High Republic era they're trying to sell initially via novels, so this may all be a moot discussion.

Lucasfilm has already said that there won’t be any High Republic movies. It sounds boring AF to me, anyway.

Plus, how can this new series be set just a few hundred years before TPM but have no mention of Yoda?

I’m at the point where I just don’t care any more. Season 7 of TCW has been lame, the other series have been pushed off to late 2021 or early 2022 and there’s just nothing interesting about any of it.

I really enjoyed yesterday's Clone Wars episode.

I was so bored by the Bad Batch and Ahsoka episodes that I haven't even bothered watching. My kids have zero interest as well, so I don't even know when I'll get around to watching them.

Maybe never.

I didn't like the Bad Batch, but the Ahsoka ones were pretty integral to her story and her continued understanding of the failures of the Jedi Order. Although it might have been better if they were condensed to 2 episodes.

Yesterday's had the whole cast, finally, and marked the beginning of the 4 part Siege of Mandalore.

Thanks for the note. I think I'll wait until just before Season 2 of The Mandalorian to watch the final four episodes of The Clone Wars.

I think that the Ahsoka arc could have been told in two episodes for sure and for me, considering what Filoni was trying to accomplish, could have been done in a single episode.

All I can say is that I guess I was expecting so much more...

It wrecked the lore just to subvert.

#1 Example of how not to write a franchise movie.

Episode IX's Disney+ debut will be on Monday, May 4th, along with a new 8 episode "Making of The Mandalorian" series.

The originals? Seriously?

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.

The only good thing about the sequel trilogy is Kylo Ren's story. It's also fantastic in the comics.
