the jambo-rocker Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) If these new characters in the show are being teased the way it's starting to look, this is could end up being the live action sequels to the Clone Wars and Rebels I never knew I wanted until actually receiving it.

yoda Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Do I now need to go and watch the animated series off the back of this episode? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clone Wars is great and up until now maybe the best Star Wars project outside of this bear's undying love for Knights of the Old Republic 2. Rebels is not as good but contains some really great episodes. The Vader meeting an old apprentice episode is one of the best Star Wars moments, IMO. If the size of Clone Wars is a bit daunting then here's a decent primer of the must-watch episodes - https://www.kotaku.com.au/2020/10/the-essential-clone-wars-episodes-every-star-wars-fan-should-watch/ Where I got that list from also added this to the post: Season 1 episode 11 “Dooku Captured” - first appearance of the man, the myth, the legend Hondo Ohnaka, when he captures Dooku and tries to ransom him to the Republic. Season 2 episode 17 “Bounty Hunters” - Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka do Seven Samurai with the help of some cool bounty hunters and its great, plus it features my man Hondo Ohnaka. Season 3 episode 6 “The Academy” - Ahsoka goes to teach some Mandalorian kids about the concept of government corruption. A couple things from this are very important for the Mandalore storylines so no idea why they left it off the list. Season 4 episodes 6-9, “The Gathering”, “A Test of Strength”, “Bound for Rescue” and “A Necessary Bond” - Ahsoka leads a group of young Jedi on a ritual to build their lightsabers. These ones aren’t really important but are fun, contain Hondo, and have some good character moments for Ahsoka. I watched it all though during lockdown and I'm glad I did as it's a genuinely great military sci-fi hiding behind kids show animation. There's an episode of the show where the central tension is clearly lifted from the Bolshevik execution of the Tsar and his family while the Czech Legion storm towards Ekaterinburg! Who expected that in a Star Wars show? Not me anyway. Also the final season's final arc is essentially a multi-episode movie set alongside the events of Episode 3 and is great. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieKTID Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 That was brilliant, I'll need to watch the first 3 episodes again though as i find myself getting distracted by the visuals it's like being a kid again, it looks fantastic. Definitely going to watch The Clone Wars, i started it a while back and really enjoyed it then put it to one side when series 1 of The Mandalorian started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Me: Teasing the appearance of fan favourites is lazy and shouldn't be an excuse not to develop new and interesting characters Also me Spoiler *to the tune of Seven Nation Army* OHHHH AHSOKA TANO, OH AHSOKA TANO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Just watched episode 3 now. The ginger mandalorian gave me the horn. I thought for a minute it was Bryce Dallas Howard who was playing her - then it turns out she actually directed the episode! Sounds like I’ll need to watch the Clone Wars. I’ve seen clips on YouTube but it’s always looked a bit naff, a bit childish - something you’d see on Nickelodeon on a Saturday morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 You ain't fucking kidding, there's hunners. Thought I'd just zip through it this evening I’m glad that TV series have generally condensed into 10 episodes or less depending on length. Nothing worse than being told to start a new series and seeing “Seasons 1-10” and season 6 being something like episode 120.That list I posted is good even if I ended up watching it all at the start of lockdown anyway. Including the Jar Jar episodes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I'd seen your recommended highlights post before starting, I feel kind of committed to watching the whole thing now. Enjoying it though, it's a bit like condensed early episodes of Star Trek without the holier than thou vibe. I find C3PO much more annoying than JarJar, and I like the way all the Clones are stereotypical Aussies. On episode 17, hoping the pirates come back soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kebab Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 It’s been broadcast, why the spoilers???One of those Clones did have an awfy Snoke shaped head though!!!Could this be the decent writers trying to tidy up the JJ Abrams mess by explaining the ludicrous Emperor plot of the last movie in a more cohesive and believable manner??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
