I wouldn't even watch the entire season, unless you are bored. Just start with the two most recent episodes.

The first 4 episodes were pretty solid, the four Ahsoka's walkabout episode can be skipped for sure.

Oh that would be fun! I bet Rex would come to their rescue

In addition to my previous comments, this has me geeking out similar to how Rogue One did knowing that this was setting events up so that 15 minutes after this movie ended, Episode 1 started.
In this case of this last episode, this is all happening in parallel of Episode 3. And you start to hear comments (from Obi) that Dooku has been killed, and that he is going after Grievous.
But the truly neat thing was hearing Maul. He knew what was happening and was trying to stop Anakin. Although his reasons were different from the Jedi... he know Palpatines plan, he knew Anakin would fall under him, and we wanted to secure his place in the universe. He wanted Anakin dead to not only cause chaos so he could still thrive in the under world, but foil Palps plan out of hatred. Ahsoka almost went for it. Filoni really is weaving the story together.

How many episodes are left? Two?

Two more episodes.
There is a rumor that Vader makes an appearance in the last.

Thanks for the heads up. Watched the first episode (which I enjoyed), then saw that a bunch of Ahsoka ones in the middle of the season are unrelated, so I'll probably skip thouse.

Though I did decide to circle back to S6 and check out the "Order 66" arc with the malfunctioning clone. Saw the first episode of that, and thoroughly enjoyed it. (More so than Bad Batch.)

I think the Bad Batch will be a crucial part of the final scene. Ahsoka's deux a machina maybe...

Spilner - when you have 22 minutes to kill, go in to Disney (or youtube for that matter) and look up an episode in Season 2 called "Point Rain". Watch it and the following episode. Trust me on this. It's a pretty stand alone two punch and one of the best things ever produced in the Star Wars canon.

Cool, thanks for the rec.

I'm now 3 episodes into the "Order 66" arc and it is super awesome.

I don't know if I am ready for this...

Any theory on who was attempting to pick up Maul?

Someone from Crimson Dawn would be my guess. I wouldn't be surprised if they try to create a live action or animated series jumping off from the events/characters in Solo, if not focused on Han himself.

I think Dryden Vos is supposed to make an appearance at some point. Maybe Maul goes to him after he escapes.
My guess is Order 66 gets executed while Maul is in custody of the Clones. The Clones turn on the Jedi and in the confusion, Maul escapes. This is going to be fun to watch.

my guess is that Ahsoka and him team up and help eachother

Dryden Vos did show up as a hologram convo earlier in this arc.

Yes, that is Vos on the right, but I'm surprised that I haven't heard anybody mention the guy on the far left, That is Prince Xizor, leader of the Black Sun crime syndicate. He was introduced in the now legends book, Shadows of the Empire which took place between Empire and Jedi. They also made a Nintendo game based off of the book. Here's a story that talks about Lucasfilm diving deep into the story...as they say, a STAR WARS movie, just without the movie.

Shadows of the Empire

Another example of Filoni bringing a Legends character into canon.

The "Mr sunday movies" video on shadows of the empire is worth a watch

He was talked about a couple pages back

Poor Fives.

On episode 2. Obi-Wan knew about Anakin and Padme before ROTS.

I think I just realized that Palpatine wasn't trying to seduce Anakin to the dark side, he was just trying to seduce him. Consider these lines but said in Harvey Firestein's voice.

TPM
"And you, young Skywalker. We will watch your career with great interest!"

AOTC
"You are the most gifted Jedi I have ever met"
"In time you will learn to trust your feelings."

ROTS
"Do it!"
"Only through me can you achieve a power greater than any Jedi!"
"It's only natural."
"It wasn't the first time, Anakin."
"I hope you trust me, Anakin."
"I need your help, son."

And of course he conveniently has a secret room with no windows where he takes a barely-conscious Anakin and puts him a leather suit complete with a mask.

Just watched episode 9. Wow, that was awesome. I love the use of the og Lucasfilm logo, the main SW theme, and the extended use of the music from ROTS.

About to jump into episode 10. And man, do I wish I could watch this entire arc in one sitting. It's gonna feel like a movie once it's all done.

This is gonna be a hell of a May 4 this year.

It's a shame you haven't had any spare time lately to watch the whole series.

Shame you missed my earlier post.
