Why do you think the chip is a retcon?

What is Tales of the Jedi? Only one I haven't heard about

Ha, no clue. Thought you guys would know.

A microchip in the clones? Plausible but never hinted at in the movies far as I remember…

Arc in clone wars covers it.

It's an animation anthology series of one-off stories involving Ahsoka, young Qui-Gonn, Dooku, etc.

Filoni just had these random stories he'd written and they decided to make them.

It's never explicitly mentioned, but I'm saying I don't think it was retconned in Clone Wars to explain it. I think it was always intended to be the explanation but not explicitly stated.

Granted that's just me speculating.

Well there ya go. Thanks for the insight!

But as for why they didn't kill Anakin, I had that exact thought in my latest rewatch. And I doubt the Anakin plan was even in motion when they were created.

I can only imagine once Sheev started grooming him, he was able to get the Kaminoans to push out that firmware update. Maybe they had to recall them back to Kamino to do so.

When I first saw the Tales if the Jedi title I was hoping it was going to be based on the Dark Horse comic of the same title from the mid-90s which was set in the Old Republic.

Agreed, that's a fantastic arc.

Tales of the Jedi - 6 part animated short (3 Ahsoka episodes, 3 Dooku episodes).

Here's a good summary from Reddit ---

Someone asked for a Celebration summery

I was writing it in the comments, but they got locked as I wanted to post it, so for it to not go to waste here is what I gathered from watching a bit on and off from home:


- Skeleton Crew - Mandoverse show, called a Stranger Things in space, starring Jude Law, coming 2023

- Andor - [teaser trailer]( and poster, it's coming out August 31st, 12 episodes and I think a two episode premiere

- Mandalorian and Ahsoka - leaked footage, and announced they'll come out in 2023 (Mando in February), maybe SPOILERS but hera, chop and sabine will appear searching for a someone

- Young Jedi Adventures - a [preschool type animated show](https://www.starwars.com/news/swca-2022-young-jedi-adventures) set in the High Republic era featuring Yoda and younglings, coming out spring 2023

- Tales of the Jedi - [animated show](https://www.starwars.com/news/swca-2022-tales-of-the-jedi-panel) of six episodes about Ahsoka and Dooku (three episodes each) showing different moments in their lives, a trailer and the first episode were shown only at the panel, it will feature a young Qui-Gon Jinn

- Jedi: Surviver - a Jedi: Fallen Order sequel got a [teaser released]( should launch in 2023

- LEGO Star Wars: Summer Vacation - in the style of the two previous themed LEGO specials set after ep IX, release date is August 5th + 2 LEGO sets shown from Andor and Fallen Order and a [short released]( for the ANH anniversary

- Yoda comic - a Marvel [10-issue miniseries](https://www.starwars.com/news/swca-2022-marvel-yoda-interview), consisting of three arcs, first set in the High Republic era written by Cavan Scott, starting in October

- High Republic Phase II - [a bunch of stuff]( novel and comic covers shown, new novel names revealed, audiodrama announced, and new characters shown

- The Bad Batch season 2 - [teaser trailer]( put out, it will release this year in fall

- Visions Volume 2 - coming out spring 2023, with shorts not only from Japan, but some other countries as well


That's all I got as the Celebration is still going they might announce a thing or two for like a big finish, but I think this is it for the announcements. Oh yeah also the Hunters game still didn't get a bloody release date.

I'm here for Hera, Sabine and Chopper…could easily mean season ends with Ezra

Awesome!

Why would you think you hit a nerve. Hell I agree with you. They have been very hit or miss because there hasn't been a well thought out and planned story line for these films. I just think Solo is a fun movie that has aged pretty damn well. Though I have zero idea how you could think the bad batch is even questionable as a miss

So Ewan dropped that his wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead was cast in Ahsoka. Ringerverse pod thought she might be cast as Hera, and that might be damn perfection

Excited about the Fallen Order sequel (game). First one was a blast and had a great story too.

I was hoping that they were going to announce a new Star Wars MMO as well.

This guy is having a ball.

From Kennedy's comments, she doesnt even understand why Solo didn't do well.
It wasn't because they recast Han, and I thought he was actually good as Han.

---

Hopefully, they will do Solo 2 and keep the story going because I actually wanted to see where this story goes. Especially if Emilia character takes over the syndicate w/ Maul as the crime boss.

---

Ditto.

Solo was a fun movie that suffered only because they released it so close on the heels of the abject failure that was The Last Jedi.

---

Bingo. I'd love for another one to be made. Everyone was still mad about TLJ and Solo suffered massively from it

In fact I'd just like them to make another SW film. Everything has been D+ and its just not really the same as sitting in a theater.

Not to mention it was ONLY 5 months after TLJ.

Let's not forget that Solo dramatically reimplemented "Han shot first".

To make up SE travesty of A New Hope.

Lucas went woke before going woke was cool?

Phrasing... Disney; grooming; preschool...coming out?

Raawwwr! Urrrgh! *chuff* [/Peter Mayhew]

Which High Republic books are good? I have Light of the Jedi...which one is next? Aren't a few of them suited for kids or young adults? I don't want any of those.
