    tbf they were all very good points

    Probably just had a bit too high expectations for a kids show where making sense wasn't that important

    I just realised, the Rebels thread has hit over 1000 pages. This only made it 708.

    There used to be some other CW threads. This one outlasted the others. Like one of Dooku's competitions.

    The sad part was I thought the timelines here in this thread held up fairly well until Dark Disciple came along. I have no idea what the point of this novel was other than to kill off a character who would have made a great fit for a spinoff movie.

    I mean, I attempted to address even that, but it does require some suspension of disbelief.

    Keep in mind that before the show ended, the official stance was still "The EU and TCW will fit together somehow." I just tried to find a way to make that happen because, why not?

    Most of it can still work if you squint a bit, IMHO. Hell, TCW alone without the microseries or anything else frankly just feels incomplete.

    I know what you mean. Without the Legends stories, Ventress just shows up out of nowhere and it's clear she's already met Anakin and Obi-Wan before. Maybe we'll get some canon books or comics covering the early days of the war at some point (like the new Mace Windu comic). I mean it's not essential, but it would be nice to have those stories.

    The long list above contains both canon and Legends stories. Maybe Ventress's TCW episodes were written originally with the old EU in mind, but "Dark Disciple" was released a year or so after Disney's removal of the old EU. Maybe originally Ventress was not going to be killed off, but things changed. In the end, Christie Golden's novel just ignored the events of "Boba Fett: Pursuit".

    Yes, but so did Obssession, arguably.

    Tcw wasn’t meant to fit with the EU (it contradicts a lot of stuff)

    Boba Fett: Pursuit has to take place after DD if we are mixing both legends and canon

    DD has to take place closer to RotS than Pursuit, due the Black Sun and Pyke’s being at War again, implying the Shadow Collective has been destroyed, which it was in the Maul comics, as I understood it.

    The first half of DD takes place while Maul is imprisoned by Dooku, before he escapes and re-unites the Collective in Son of Dathomir, which takes place in the gap between Ventress failing to rescue Vos from Serenno, and her second attempt with Jedi aid.

    The Collective does largely disintegrate after SOD though, leaving Maul with just Mandalore for the most part I believe.

    As I was explaining to Sinrebirth earlier. When I was a kid I was a fan of the Republic comics, Clone Wars and TCWS. I even have the whole Obsession comics in one book!!

    The thing I find so funny is how so many of you complain " about how TCW didn't fit in Legends" well guess what I fitted them all fine growing up and I didn't even know about the retcons. Granted Dark Disciple didn't exist at the time. But with Sinrebirth's help I got it to fit
    I think this is why I jumped on Sinrebirth's One canon when I first heard about it. I was already doing this stuff before the great reset.

    Sorry to resurrect this thread. Just wanting to share my thoughts that came to me lately when thinking back to my Clone wars stories memories. And honestly that's why to this day I never get the hate TCW gets from certain fans.

    It was the New Thing once upon a time, which is difficult for a certain segment of the fandom to accept even as it inevitably becomes one of the Old Things. ;)
