About the 2008 Clone Wars cartoon: I like some of it, but I think most of its content conflicts with the actual movies way too much. Am I supposed to believe that “it’s unfair!” Anakin from Episode III or “he’s jealous! He’s holding me back!” Anakin from Episode II wasn’t granted the rank of master for whatever reason, even though he was a good teacher and a great general? I mean, it would suit Darth Vader, for sure, but not RotS Anakin, and even less AotC Anakin.

Also the whole chip idea is stupid, but apparently it was necessary due to their approach to the clone troopers. I loved the Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (2005) campaign and the idea that the clones knew what they had to do from the start, and that is still canon in my heart.

So the cartoon is good like 60% of the time and really bad and childish in others, but it simply doesn’t fit with the movies for me. I personally think Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003) is better in every way.

But this should either have its own thread or be discussed in a neutral thread.

About Solo, I’m going in with 0 expectations. I’m not even thinking about what I want or anything like that, I really don’t know what they could do. I hope I’m pleasantly surprised. Only thing I’m hoping for is for it not to have some Rogue One-type cameos more specifically the guys from the bar being in Jedha, but I’ll give R2 and 3PO cameos a pass, because apparently they should appear in every movie.
