Listened to this week's episode of The Watch podcast today, which had Star Wars enthusiast/expert Mallory Rubin (Binge Mode) on, and all three hosts/guests endorse the theory that last week's episode was essentially a backdoor pilot for an Ahsoka series. It's sounding more and more like Ahsoka makes another appearance this season, as does Bo-Katan. And Mallory is of the opinion that after this season, The Mandalorian will essentially follow Mando, Bo, etc on some kind of quest to reclaim Mandalore, with Gideon standing in the way, while the potential Ahsoka series would follow her on a collision-course with Thrawn, in her effort to find Ezra (from Rebels). Which, if true/comes to fruition, sounds so awesome and absolutely perfect.

Mallory & co also seemed to agree that what we're witnessing now is THE franchise Star Wars story of the time (even if it technically diverges into two stories), to the point where they don't even want to see any post-Episode IX-set movies, while all of this is still going on. That'll definitely be interesting, if the Mando timeline of events becomes so popular that Lucasfilm just says screw it and delays anything set post-IX until this era has reached its end, even if that means Mando and Ahsoka theatrical movies in '23, '25, etc.

Rogue One was trash and everyone refuses to admit it because they got 90 secs of Vader.

Buddy and I think the same thing. You don't just casually drop Thrawn in and then walk off into the sunset.

In addition to being in The Old Republic, Tython is featured in the Dr. Aphra series of comics,the final issue in fact. Dr. Aphra tricks Vader into believing the Rebels are establishing a base there when in fact they are doing so on Hoth. There is one of the first Jedi Temples on Tython (as mentioned by Asokha last week). In the comics it has a "confessional" chamber where Jedi used to go confess their sins to the Force itself. She manages to trap Vader there and he has to relive a lot of his past misery and anger. No exactly the stone that Ahsoka mentions but a cool tie in.

So to catch up on a lot of this, watching the Clone Wars and SW Rebels are good to get caught up with the universe for those of us interested. I have no problem as once this season is over in a few weeks I will crave more. But what about any of the comics? Are there any titles I should read and catch up on to get more info? It seems that since Disney/Marvel took over there are a lot out there. What, if anything, are good reads and worth the time to get?

If you have Amazon Prime, a BUNCH of the Star Wars comics are free to read. All but the stuff new in the last... 6 months or so? The Darth Vader comics are, as a rule, the best. Dr Aphra is also great. The main Star Wars runs are worthwhile and fun.

I recently watched Clone Wars and Rebels because I wanted to appreciate Mandalorian more.

Clone Wars starts off bad, picks up steam, and the last season is really good. I felt like skipping through a lot of episodes, but overall its a really good story and adds a lot of missing context from the prequel trilogy.

Rebels is a lot weaker, and not very good in my opinion.

I'm only 4 episodes into Rebels. Don't have an opinion yet. It's Y7 so I'm not expecting it to get as dark as TCW did on occasion which gives me some skepticism.

The fan service is way more noticeable in how they are trying to backfill story to OT though. Makes sense considering time period.

Season 3 and 4 of rebels are much better than 1 and 2.

I've heard this and need to revisit, I watched s1 but dropped off after that as I just couldn't get into it.

Agree that the clone wars has some really slow episodes (droid ones) but the good ones are top notch

I liked Rebels but it's a step beneath TCW

All star wars cartoons are pretty terrible in the first season, progressively get better, go off the rails for a few episodes, then finishes strong.

Resistance never got past the bad stage. Not sure that it could have

This is very true. The nice thing about CW is it's organized around multi-episode arcs, so if you don't like the featured characters in that arc, just skip it. The final 2 seasons of both Rebels and CW are pretty fantastic. I watched Resistance with my 6 year old. He thought it was cool, but he doesn't know much about anything. I thought it was pretty lame and wouldn't recommend it to anyone over the age of 10 who wasn't just dying of boredom.

BES has a hangup with the artistic choice of lightsaber thickness in CW and feels the need to remind everyone about it every 5 pages or so.

last weeks episode had a very upbeat nub-nub ending to it.... have a feeling we're going to go towards a dark ending this season.

Clone wars is best if you watch it chronological I think. Doesn't change a ton but moves arcs around where you get back stories if they exist before a character just shows up.
