Been rewatching a few old Clone Wars episodes and while there's a few rough patches, it's a lot better than I remember it being

The Season 2 episode "Landing at Point Rain" is basically "Remember the Battle of Geonosis? Remember all those CG clones fighting in a dustcloud? Well, let's actually show the brutal slog ground forces have to endure just to take a single factory"

Oh come now, the first season of the '03 CW can easily fit into the show

S2, sadly, got thoroughly debunked, which is a god drat shame - RIP BAMF Grievous

First episode was alright. It looks really good in motion, and the ship designs are spectacular, even if the red TIE is a tad tacky

Like I said before, I imagine most people will wise up about it. I remember when the first Clone Wars trailer showed up (i.e. for the movie) people got very stroppy about how LUCAS :argh: had DISNEYFIED :argh: Star Wars (funny in retrospect) then I remember when the first Rebels information dropped people said it looked "too kiddy" compared to Clone Wars. But at the same time, I feel like something's changed; I think more people will hold their grudge than they did with the last two, for one reason or another. That's just 2018 for you, I guess.

Start of Clone Wars: It's not Star Wars and it's terrible
End of Clone Wars: WE WANT MORE

Start of Rebels: It's not Clone Wars and it's terrible
End of Rebels: It's still not Clone Wars but drat if it isn't at least good

Start of Resistance: It's not Clone Wars or Rebels and it's terrible
After the first few episodes: Alright, it's not as bad as we first thought. Let's see where we go from here...

I reckon it'd be fun to have Iden Versio, Gideon Hask, Del Meeko, or Shriv show up in an episode of Resistance. Hell, they could even have the first three show up in The Mandalorian, since the character models were 3D renders of the actual actors doing the voices.

That'd certainly be a nice way to introduce them to people who don't play video games - because what kind of idiot puts important lore and world-building into a platform not everyone has access to or is interested in?

What is this, Kingdom Hearts?

There's been a few times where people have in fact asked me if I was SuperShadow, and I irritatingly politely pointed out that my Shadow isn't capitalized

Still, his rumors make for good fanfic fuel, so it's not a complete waste of time reading them if you fancy yourself a writer

At some point Tam is going to figure out that the new hot shot pilot, being looked after and employed as a mechanic by the former Rebellion officer, who can't mechanic worth a drat, and has shown a keen interest in everything First Order up to and including worming into the command tower, and then climbing around the outside of it while being chased by Stormtroopers shooting to kill, might not, in fact, just be a down on his luck mechanic.

I had no idea acceleration compensators were heavy as heck

Also, you'd think with however long they've had them, they'd have figured out ways to install them that doesn't take six hands

Or else the aliens that usually build them are trolling the humans by making things needlessly complicated so they'll keep coming back

Weirdly enough, Ezra became less and less important as Rebels went on and at the start of S4 was somehow shoehorned into being comic relief

Zeb became background material after Legends of the Lasat

At least Chopper stayed the lovable little omnicidal maniac who'd gleefully blow up a ship with children inside without a second thought

Kaz was born 14 ABY
Torra was born 19 ABY
TFA takes place 35 ABY

He's 21
She's 16

It's Anakin & Padme all over again

Also, it's possible that the kids from Tehar are Force Sensitive, or at least the girl is, since she gets visions and dreams, hence why the Knights of Ren wiped out their village

And that trooper would have gone on to be the next Finn.

But, well, brain scrape.

Given how we're days away from TFA, I'm kinda saddened that it wasn't Finn and this is what leads to him doubting the First Order and ultimately rebelling when they invade that village at the start of the film

Have the kids talk to him and explain what happened to their family

Curious that they're just looping in music from Rogue One for the pre-stream.

Cause it's Star Wars music and Star Wars music is good background noise

If I could have any series music as my life's background music, it'd be a toss-up between Star Wars and Kingdom Hearts
