My sister and I are watching The Mandalorian, but she also wants to see Episodes 1, 2, and 3.

I convinced her to watch The Clone Wars between 2 and 3, is there a list of important episodes to watch to get a general sense of connection between 2, 3, and maybe The Mandalorian?

This list got posted a few times in the Mandalorian thread when some of the characters from Clone Wars started popping up. I’ve been rewatching it based on that order as well and it’s working pretty good, particularly for the stuff that aired way out of chronological order like some of the Clone stuff. The list is a bit old, so I don’t think it has the last season included, but the general response was to watch that in its entirety anyway.

I assumed by "went dark" she meant more in the philosophical sense. He probably spent most of the time since he avoided becoming a chicken fried youngling being traded between mercs and hunted by the empire so he spent most of the time scared and angry. She did say she had concerns about training him because of it.

Din is just finally pulling him out of that dark place.

I’d say it’s a combination of that and Grogu not using or cutting himself off from the force during those years, whether due to lack of training or it being a survival mechanism. I think Cere in Jedi: Fallen Order did something kinda similar (Severing her connection to the force after touching the dark side until the events of the game).

Also even the movie is technically released out of timeline order (I think there’s a few pre-Ahsoka episodes here and there in the series itself).

if you're doing the whole thing for the first time i'd say it's worth watching just because it's the introduction for a bunch of characters, but when you're doing a rewatch...you're gonna skip it

I'd probably agree with this. I went through the show earlier this year after Mando season 2 and while the movie is not great, it's not as dire as some on the internet would make it out to be.

Yeah, coming out within weeks of those two definitely hurt it, and only five~ months after The Last Jedi. Also, at least to me, it felt like Solo got a lot less promotion prior to its release than any of the other Star Wars movies Disney put out.

I'm not saying they're cancelled, because I'm sure they're not, but they're clearly on the back burner for now. Feige, Johnson, and Waititi are all working on other things (Johnson, for example, is going to be busy making his two Knives Out sequels for Netflix), and Lucasfilm hasn't talked about them in a while, and certainly haven't given a release timeline for them, so I'm not counting them until I see anything new from them. They're in development hell, as far as I'm concerned.

Rogue Squadron, however, seems to be moving forward faster than the other movies mentioned, and has, at least, a soft release date. So let's just say that it's the only movie coming in the next few years.

I’m pretty sure Waititi’s film, and maybe Feige’s as well, were both announced at the same investor event as Rogue Squadron back in December. It was clear Rogue was the one most developed or along, for whatever that’s worth for a movie they said wouldn’t be out until December 2023, so it makes sense we have heard next to nothing about the other two.

Johnson's trilogy is the one that’s probably on the back burner, up in the air, or whatever, since I don’t think anyone remotely associated with Star Wars has acknowledged it in a while.

I forget, has Thrawn ever made an animated appearance before (or appeared in anything besides the books for that matter)? Also, is he even still canon now that Disney threw out the old EU?

He’s basically the main antagonist of seasons 3 and 4 of Rebels, which is canon. He’s also explicitly mentioned by Ahsoka in Mandalorian. There’s also novels about him in the new canon, including an on-going trilogy about his time in Chiss space during the same time as the Clone Wars.

There is also Hera's father who appears in some episodes of Clone Wars

I think they were just asking specifically about the last season of Clone Wars, where as he’s in like season 2 or 3.

IMO, I preferred watching the last season of Clone Wars before starting Rebels, since it winds up showing how Ahsoka and Rex deal with Order 66 and everything going during RotS, but that’s not hugely specific to Rebels, particularly the first season, and I just like going chronologically anyway, even if season 7 of Clone Wars didn’t come out until like 2 years after Rebels finished.

Also is Clone Wars worth watching?

Absolutely. You might not need to watch all 133 episodes, but even trying to hit the many high points is probably gonna run you 50+ episodes easily and eventually includes almost few entire seasons later on.

Similarly, I don’t know if Rebels can be cut down to just 6-8 episodes, particularly due to the importance of a few two parters and a lot of what happens in the last season.

Hmm, sounds like I'll just watch CW straight through and fast-forward through any boring bits.

As should always be mentioned, keep in mind broadcast order isn’t chronological for Clone Wars. Some people don’t mind that, and by mid season 3 it more or less settles into it (Or at least doesn’t have any major shifting back and forth in the timeline), but I know that was part of the reason I’d didn’t like the show the first time I tried to watch it forever ago, and when I went and did it mostly chronologically, I enjoyed it a ton more.

The first two seasons of Tartakovsky Clone Wars were 3-4 minute shorts and have little dialogue, with a bunch of the shorts having none at all. The episodes from the final season are like 10-12 minutes each, and do have a bit of talking in some of them.

They’re all good and worth watching, since all three seasons combined are all of 2 hours.

The contact at the end is clearly Rex, because he would know about the tactical droids and would want to know about more rogue clones, right?

I think almost any of the regular characters from Clone Wars would know of a tactical droid, as they weren’t much of a secret and showed up regularly. Since we’ve already seen Saw earlier in the show, I’d say that Rex, Ahsoka, or Bail are the most likely options of someone who needs info to fight back, but really anyone who winds up against the Empire down the line could be a choice.

So this was episode 7 of 16 and the issue of their control chips and Wrecker potentially going nuts has now been addressed. I was wondering if that might be a late season element towards the end. It was also cool to see Rex again, and Bracca at a point before Fallen Order, and I suspect the ending on this episode may get Crosshair back involved.

Rebels does show that early on, the Alliance is still a lot of cells that sometimes have little or no contact with others outside their sector or area at times. You could easily say that the Bad Batch, if they do wind up in the Rebellion, are by then 15~ years later just off elsewhere in the galaxy and never crossed paths with the Lothal crew during the timeframe of Rebels.
