Yes, it gets much better as it goes on. Deals greatly with the fact that war sucks and people die. Looks into the society the clones have built for themselves and how good people treat them as people but others essentially treat them like droids (which are arguably also people, star wars is rife with injustice). Not every episode is great but there are great episodes.



Of course if you find it "boring as hell tripe" it may never live up to your lofty standards though, sirrah

Twileks kinda make sense. I wanna know how a species that evolves a neck pillow with back support and armrests manages to not get eaten by pretty much everything.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.
I am so glad the sequel trilogy missed her.

Her novel was pretty good too.

Normally I'd be wary of them introducing Jedi into this show, but they haven't done a misstep yet, so I think Rosario and the writers will do a good job.

Well at the time the show takes place she hasn't been a Jedi for a long long time.

No...

She is certainly not evil though. Neutral maybe. Worked with a Sith/witch when their interests overlapped.

I mean there are no Jedi during the Mandalorian

Except Luke's new school maybe? Don't know how soon he started that, officially.

Probably a few randos out there that hid, other failed padawans and sith apprentices that hosed off.

No. She got kicked out of the order near the end of the Clone Wars series because she was framed for terrorism, worked with Ventress for a short while trying to get her name cleared. She was ultimately cleared when the real culprit was caught but she decided to decline rejoining the order. Then she was an intelligence operative for Bail Organa's rebellion cell during the Galactic Civil War. What she's been up to since the end of the Galatic Civil War is mostly unknown; she spent at least some time working with Sabine Wren, the mandalorian from Rebels.

She's a light-side force user but isn't a Jedi.

The Ahsoka novel is worth a read. It's YA level so it could have been a bit deeper but I'm almost 30 and still enjoyed it. Fills in all the continuity gaps between Clone Wars and Rebels. The audiobook version is narrated by her voice actor; I'd recommend it.

There were definitely a good handful out there after order 66, that's why the inquisitors were a thing in the first place. Vader also did loads of jedi hunting (though I'm not sure how much of that is still canon).

There are probably also backwater planets that nobody remembers with their own little force traditions.

The Dathomir witches got exterminated though, so presumably the Emperor isn't fond of the concept.

It kinda bugs me how their faces are so visually complex. Like generally I don't like keeping track of a bunch of facial markings, but also their markings are symmetrical geometric patterns, so they just don't seem like the kind of patterning that would occur naturally.

It's kinda nice though how Ahsoka was a made the member of a pre-established race and then later on there are more togruta. A lot of alien races are one and done.

I have absolutely zero comment on that person's claims or about anyone's role on whatever side.

I do want to ask this WITHOUT bringing names or gender issues into it at all - does it strike you as a bit odd that a family would hire a "handy man" as a full time employee, as well as pay their full rent at an apartment, AND pay their moving expenses? Does that seem like a common thing that comes up?
It just seems like "Hey we're going to pay you a living wage, your full rent, and pay for you to move across country to do this at your leisure" would offer you a job title other than "works odd jobs around the home"...

With the way production on everything is haulted, she may be un-involved before it ever begins depending on how reporting/legal proceedings go



I'm trapped in this bad mental space because

They got exterminated prior to the end of the Clone Wars for betraying and trying to assassinate Dooku. This is another plotline from after Clone Wars became good.

I don't know about that. I watched all of Clone Wars and Rebels and I don't remember a fuckin thing about her arc. The only thing I can remember is her duel with Vader in Rebels that had an ambiguous ending.
