TheBigBad posted:Yeah, Ahsoka v Vader was and is dumb, real dumb. Why? Putting aside that Ahsoka wasn't a Jedi and wasn't targeted by Order 66 because she had already left and was nowhere near a clone more than likely, she was a loose end when Rebels started but was a connection between Vader and his past, so for the sake of narrative she has to be dealt with. Because you can't just leave a strand like the one emotional tie Vader has left hanging. And if you're going to deal with her a confrontation is basically inevitable, and it has to have some tension because otherwise it's just an anti-climax and narratively unsatisfying. I think it'd have been dumber to not do Ahsoka v Vader frankly. I've seen people say she shouldn't be nearly good enough to take him on as well, and that makes just as little sense to me given that she was one of the most active Jedi of any level during the Clone Wars and saw a lot of service and that she was a fairly accomplished lightsaber duelist even as a teen, taking on full blown Jedi, Grevious and Sith during the show if I recall. She was always on the backfoot during those fights, but always held her own long enough to escape or for help to arrive and certainly got better throughout the show. Put that with 15 years solo while helming a rebellion for at least part of it along with training extensively with and under the guy she's fighting and both of them being somewhat emotionally torn by the fight and it makes sense to be a fairly even fight to me. Doctor Reynolds posted:Yoda blends in with Dagobah's environment. Is that not the explanation in the movie? I thought it was, but maybe it was somewhere else. Dagobah is so dense with life of all kinds that it makes it easy for Yoda to hide himself there from the explanation I recall, because anyone checking there wouldn't be able to pick him out from all the rest.

We actually got some of her story in the Ahsoka novel. She was on Mandalore with a detachment of clone troopers Anakin had given her right before the battle of Coruscant. Somehow Rex had beaten his chip, and they'd faked both their deaths, buried her lightsabers as a trophy with another clone under his number. She spends a year in deep depression, not even touching the force, and the second she pokes her head up an inquisitor comes sniffing. tsob posted:I've seen people say she shouldn't be nearly good enough to take him on as well, and that makes just as little sense to me given that she was one of the most active Jedi of any level during the Clone Wars and saw a lot of service and that she was a fairly accomplished lightsaber duelist even as a teen, taking on full blown Jedi, Grevious and Sith during the show if I recall.

Also, he trained her, and as strong as Vader is, he's severely diminished from Anakin (or the brief pre-cyborg Vader). It would make perfect sense that she can go toe-to-toe with her master when he's handicapped like that and she's now full-grown.

Yes, I'm arguing that there are plenty of Jedi that survived the Purge well into the Original Trilogy Era because our unreliable narrators are unreliable. Ahsoka lives.

Chickenwalker posted:I also think Bast Castle being on Mustafar is extremely stupid and flies in the face of the existing characterization of Vader. That doesn't invalidate the idea of avoidance due to trauma though. Which is that? Because if it's not in the movies, Clone Wars, Rebels, or any of the books published after the Disney takeover, it doesn't count as far as Lucasfilm is concerned. Nothing I've seen on that front is contradicted by him putting his fortress on Mustafar. (And in fact it looks totally friggin' rad.)

Maybe less, not sure how much of a time skip it was between Season 2 and 3. Going by Ezra being 15 and him being born at about the same time as Luke and Leia, and those two are 18 in Ep 4.

I don't think it was stupid I personally enjoyed it very much but I do believe that Jedi aside from Kenobi and Yoda surviving the purge has a rapid diminishing return.

I think that the show has passed the time period where bringing back Barris or any of the inquisitors would be appropriate. It seems to me that we're getting pretty close to A New Hope and elements remaining from the Clone Wars (Kanan and Ezra, Maul, even Rex) should remain unique. That being said, the period between episode three and this show could be fertile ground for a story involving them, Vader, and the last Jedi.

A monster of the week show where a steady cast of Inquisitors (with the occasional Vader cameo if the monster is too strong/narrative episode) hunt down Jedi would be amazing but unless we go full Trumpenstaffel there is no way it is going to happen in our universe.

GATOS Y VATOS posted:If Kanan and Ezra don't die at the end of Rebels it basically makes the importance of Luke less critical. I hope Disney has the balls to do that even though it's a kid's show. Agreed, completely. I already don't like that Kanan and Ezra are so flashy about being Jedi. How many Imperials, bounty hunters, smugglers, Rebels, etc. have heard of these guys now or seen them in action? The possibility of having Jedi around again should be a much bigger deal when Luke enters the scene. In my head, Kanan and Ezra will go out in a blaze of glory as a huge self-sacrifice for the greater good. Hera and others from the Ghost will survive, and whatever mission that Kanan and Ezra died for is a big enough deal to the Rebellion that Hera is promoted to General for it.

I want Maul and Ezra to run into Kenobi on Tatooine. Maul claims that Ezra is his apprentice, Kenobi ends both of them, as he Can't Have Sith Problems on Tatooine. Kanaan finds out later, fucks of forever.

I thought part of Barris' deal which freaked everyone out is that she did what she did without going to the "dark side" and in the name of galactic peace and "saving" the jedi order from manipulation and corruption. Just as a ptsd kid she figured bombing the council was the way back to the light. She sounds more like rebellion materiel cackling "See! See! I told you all" to herself in the corner.
