PixelJoker’s upcoming Kenobi edit might join the pantheon of greatest edits, we’ll see. Could also be too ambitious for its own good, but I hope not.

I would argue it was either in TESB with Yoda, or definitely in ROTJ, with Ghost Anakin.
Quadruple post! First time I see that.
Wholeheartedly agree that Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars is the perfect 2.5, it fits with the movies better than Lucas and Filoni’s TCW, too, imo - though I recognize and respect what TCW does in terms of just playing with those characters and putting them in stories that maybe shares something interesting about them, with not that much care for an absolutely linear story to go along neatly with the movies.
But yeah, short answer, Tartakovsky micro-series.
Sabine doesn’t have solid Force potential, she has trash potential. Huyang states this multiple times in the show. But potential means very little.
Sabine had no hidden potential. Potential is overrated, and means very little. Training, will, belief and balance are everything. Always have been.
Paul Duncan has this sort of character profile on Boba Fett up on his YouTube channel: The Creation of Boba Fett - A detailed timeline of the character’s creation by Paul Duncan, but it does stop right at TESB. Boba is a weird character that only gets weird/worse the more he shows up, starting with ROTJ, then the prequels, and now in the Mandoverse. Quite odd.
Hi Nev, I PMd you about this a while ago and you mentioned it wasn’t available outside of the Spleen (which I don’t have
access to), has that changed?
I actually feel like this show is in a lot of ways trying to be for people who didn’t watch Rebels, though. It pulls this trick where there’s a new status quo as a refresh. The previous backstory becomes incidental exposition in service of a New Story.
For example, Sabine and Ahsoka’s history isn’t something Rebels watchers would be familiar with. New audiences and Rebels fans got that information at the same time. Functionally, the reception of that isn’t going to be that different between the two audiences. It’s a whole new dynamic we’re all on the same page of being introduced to.
This becomes the excuse through which the creative team can adapt and change certain things. Sabine is a slightly different character in these new dynamics. Ahsoka’s balance and zen is re-interpreted as overly detached; a character flaw as opposed to culmination. All of a sudden Thrawn isn’t just a smart Imperial who won battles, he’s Palpatine’s heir apparent. These things aren’t being worked through off of Rebels nor are they just picking up where it was left, they’re retcons in context, entirely new material out of it.
I think this is all a bad thing, btw. The show’s dialogue is overly expositional in service of this storytelling mode, and if the characters don’t feel entirely familiar, they’re play acting long-term relationships that haven’t been fleshed out anywhere, just told to us existed at some point. It’s more unnatural as a continuation of Rebels than it is as its own thing.
Excellent post.
Ahsoka has been a bit on the boring side, yeah. This stern and stoic approach to the character present since Rebels is really not very charming. Thankfully Sabine is incredibly charming herself, but it’s a bit weird to think that she’s a bit older than 30 in this, lol.
No it wasn’t a thing in the previous animated shows, I think it was just for Jedi Fallen Order since in a game you have to sense places/objects to gain xp and exposition.
Technically retconned so Rey has it as well meaning it debuted with her, to explain her vision as she touched the lightsaber in The Force Awakens.
Stop talking to yourself.
No, we didn’t, because that’s not incoherent.

Ahsoka episodes will now premiere at 6pm PT Tuesday instead of 12am PT Wednesday.
Harmy, if you could also change the 5.1 mix that came with 3.0 into a more authentic one, without the added music to the Luke/Obi-Wan scene, it would be great.
Spartacus, sorry I doubted you, you are based.
- Stormtrooper armour is far more effective than the films let on. The stormtroopers we see get shot and presume killed? In most cases, they’re only knocked senseless; after a couple minutes, they shake it off and get back up.
This happens in Rebels all the time.
You do know it is Darth Vader who says that line, right?
Obi-Wan is the greatest out of what we’ve seen, probably. Alongside Luke, and I guess Rey.
Are the website and forums down?
2:17 AM Edit: Back online, disregard. Thanks.
