Rebels Yoda looks positively sexy by comparison.

IDK this one’s pretty sexy too…

Those tiny eyes are so freaky. And why are they blue?

I had to google the comic because I remembered the art being quite solid, but there’s actualy several weird Yoda’s in it.
Blob Yoda
Possessed Yoda.

My bro is watching all of star wars properly for the first time, he saw ROTS (he was only 9 at the time and i was 10) & the sequels in cinema, he loves mandalorian, and last night we got to the Obi-Wan episode of Rebels. He adores Maul, but his mind was blown by the fight. He recognised Qui-Gon’s stance, Obi’s prequel stance & his OT stance, & he knew it was over when he saw Maul change his footing.

Has he seen the original trilogy???

Yeah. He was very indifferent about star wars for years but since it’s such a big part of me, he wanted to see it through my eyes & he feel in love with the original trilogy.

This is the order we are watching:

• Episode 4
• Episode 5
• Episode 6
• Episode 1
• Episode 2
• Clone Wars Season 1 to half way through season 7
• Revenge of the Sith
• The Second half of Clone Wars Season 7
• Solo
• Rebels (where we are right now)
• Rogue One
• Then A Rewatch of the Original trilogy followed by the Sequels.
• Then we’ll rewatch all of Mandalorian

He is obsessed with Clone wars now, we got to watch Revenge of the sith & the second half of Season 7 of clone wars on the same night & it made me enjoy the prequels more. I’ve had my issues over the years with them, but seeing him see the good in them & being in it for the experience & feeling has made me look at them differently.

He is hyped as hell for Bad Batch.

It’s so weird to watch the prequels with someone who never watched them and seeing them appreciate them.

This is awesome, thanks for sharing 😃! Originals are my favs. Very interesting watching order as well. I definitely agree about originals being first, then the prequels and Clone Wars. What I usually do instead of a rewatch of the originals is watch 4, 5, then all prequel content, and then finish with 6 to wrap it up. Then the Mandalorian, of course.

Here’s what I mean but easier to understand:

Star Wars

The Empire Strikes Back

The Phantom Menace

Attack of the Clones

Clone wars season 1 - s7 e9

Revenge of the Sith

Solo

Rebels

Rogue One

Return of the Jedi

The Mandalorian

(Sequel trilogy optional)

I like having the twist in ESB where we learn that Darth Vader is Luke’s Father, then learning about how Luke’s Father became Darth Vader, and learning about all that lead up to the final climactic episode 6, adding more weight to it’s outcome. The Mandalorian acts as a nice way for the story to move forward after Jedi.

Forgot to add that, similar to how you (ThisisCreation) have it, I have the last 3 episodes of CW S7 after revenge of the Sith because it’s really interesting to see as a parallel story line. The last episode also ends after Revenge of the Sith.

I fully believe Star Wars Rebels has some of the best locations in Star Wars. I felt like posting them here for some more appreciation.

Lothal:

Garel:

Takobo:

Concord Dawn:

Horizon base:

Malachor:

Skystrike Academy:

Ryloth:

They’re weird and exotic, just like SW settings should be. I find it really annoying that the newer films (for the most part) just added more deserts and ice planets. The OT obviously did the same, but that’s for budget and technology reasons.

I especially like Takobo. It’s too bad we didn’t get to see more of it. Horizon base is also pretty unique, so I wonder what inspired the design.
