A/V The Clone Wars was back

The EU also said the Jedi were getting more promoted more quickly during the Clone Wars because, well, war. War trials being more difficult than normal "tests" in times of peace. Jedi dying and needing to be replaced. It's why they were sending padawans to war to begin with.

 

I actually don't know honestly. I wasn't aware it was really a thing. In the microseries, Anakin getting command of a starfighter squad only happened because Palpatine ordered it.

The battle of Jabiim was all padawans, but I recall that only happened because the Knights all died.

Ahsoka had a squad but I recall it was usually with Anakin on an intercom with her at the very least and always in the area.

 

Ahsoka was already one of the youngest padawans around, and became one right at the onset of the Clone Wars wars where promotions from Padawan to Knight became far more common due to the war.

 

Exactly. Ironically enough; Kanan (Caleb Dume) was fighting alongside his Master by the time Order 66 occurred. It's possible he could've been knighted in the not-too-distant future as well.

 

And then there’s the case of

Spoiler: Do I need a Darth Vader comic tag for this, still?

the padawan “Master” Barr, who looks rather old to still have been a padawan by the time of Order 66. Then again, he’s pretty unhinged in the DV comic, so maybe he was never deemed ready for the Trials, even by Clone Wars standards.

 

I think its more of a money issue. Its cheaper for Lucasfilm/Disney to finish the two story arcs that are almost complete plus the SOM arc, which will allow Filoni to give TCW its intended ending.

If we want to discuss which arcs are the most important for the overall story, then I think SOM, the Maul/Ventress arcs (Dark Disciple) and the two Ahsoka arcs. The Utapau arc has few moments that are relevant for the bigger story as well, with the scenes showing Anakin dealing with Ahsoka's absence and the giant Kyber crystal hinting at Death Star. And finally the bounty hunter arc is the one where Boba Fett dons the Mandalorian armour and probably kills Cad Bane, therefore explaining his absence in the post-ROTS era. The remaining arcs from what we know were not adding that much to the larger SW story.

I think that continuity problem was caused by the fact that those issues of Darth Vader were originally supposed to take place several years after ROTS, not several months.

 

Good point, I had forgotten about that.

 

way did they changed it to few mouths instead of few years

 

Because they realized that one of the Inquisitors in those issues is no longer alive several years after ROTS.

 

ok that makes since

 

Basically, this is the new canon's equivalent of Clone Wars Vol. II / Labyrinth of Evil. My favourite SW period, as there's a lot to fill in and a lot of opportunites for twisty variants of events we'd come to know in some form from the old EU. I can't wait for stuff like:

- how the Outer Rim Sieges came to be (e.g. in the EU, it was as a counterattack to Durge's Lance)
- on a related note: a general impression on how the war is progressing
- how Palpatine got kidnapped
- also: what are the thoughts of Grievous, Dooku, Nute et al. about this strategy
- that time on Cato Neimoidia that doesn't... doesn't count
- maaaybe a hunt for Sidious...

 

This will be the first season to just set in canon and not legends

 

I just seen this and i'm shocked, i'm glad and never tought this happen. With this and new prequel litertures. I'm soo happy. It seems we getting more Anakin, obi wan, and qui gon. Nice

 

wait are we getting more Qui Gon is this confruim

 

That is my reasoning as well....Crystal Crisis and Bad Batch just needed final animation....And out of all the Ahsoka arcs....this allows Dave to use Ahsoka and give us the ending. I would have liked the Bounty Hunter arc...hopefully this will be good enough to get more done. However I still think they could produce "movie of the week" productions and push those out between seasons on TV.

 

I'm on the fence hear but think the 12 episodes will be the Ashoka arcs. The ones she had left to appear. It ....just makes sense, all the other stuff can either come out in comic books or novels or special movie release.

 

The charaters I'm most hoping we get to see more of are Asajj, Hondo, and Cad Bane.

 

Well it seems it's the Bad Batch arc is in here, which was a lot of fun. And isn't Siege of Mandalore / series finale supposed to be a 6 parter? So does that make it 2 eps we don't know about? Or is my math way off? And Bad Batch isn't in here (but I think the fleet shot is directly from Bad Batch)

I will say, I always thought we'd get the Siege of Mandalore arc, honestly I thought it would be an animated film but I'm down with more episodes. Just wondering where this will land in Canada cuz apparently the Disney streaming service is only launching in the US. And if they just hold onto this... that'll be a bad idea.

 

For some reason i am scared people will froget about Rebels
I guess its becuase i moved on to rebels and now the clone wars is back so that good, just don't want people to froget rebels. Please remmber both as great shows that they are

 

I think Ahsoka's story cannot be more completely done than it is now.

 

i mean i am happy about clone wars coming back one more time, but i really started to dislike most of the fanbase when rebels was on there were alot who were treating the show offer and declaring it was offer when it was not. The question i have do those fans deserve it after there treatment to rebels

 

There's no Democratic or Republican (Loyalist and Centrist?) party in fandom. I liked both.

 

i wasn't trying to make it sound like poltics, i guess i should do want Keylo ren said
"Let the past die" meaning froget what those fans said
And enjoy both shows eqully
I was just really hurt after all those haters being offer to a show i like when they were also fans to anther show i like
I should not hold any grudges

 

A while ago, people said this would most likely never happen and to let go of the past.

Looks like voting with the wallet and whining still does work even if it takes a bit longer to get an affect.

Wonder how long it will take to get that multiverse established and the EU/canon crossover.

It'll happen. You just wait and see.

As for my thought on this...hopefully we get a tight story line with this now that GL is not running it....meaning not a bunch of random stand alone episodes but more like the long story arcs in the later seasons.

Some of those were pretty good.

 

Hopefully, this can lead into a Dark Times toon.

Oh. And maybe we'll see Victories now( we got Dreadnaughts in Rebels...hope we see those models used)
