Clones and secret evil twins are soap opera tier devices. You know, unless it's a cloning story from the start.
Lots of films manage to pack in plenty of character development in their run times. ROTS is just a massive hissy fit.
Anakin throws hissy fits on The Clone Wars constantly.
At the top of my head I remember him being angry at Padme for dating other dudes before they met again in Episode II

Not many do good to pretty damn evil in one film though. He definitely got up on the wrong side of the bed during ROTS.

Question that I wondered about today, did Yoda immediately know who Luke was when he met him on Dagobah? Or did he clue in after Luke asked about seeking after a 'Jedi Master?'

The Force.
Benicio Del Toro has been offered the role of the villain in Episode 8.

Aside from a couple episodes, I like to consider this the Series Finale
Also Holy Shit you finished 5 seasons in what? 4 days? It took me 2 months with all the stuff I had to do xD
Well, unfortunately I'm unemployed and am house sitting for about a week. Didn't have much else to do but marathon the whole series.
Looking like I should just watch the final Yoda arc?
No offense taken! It's not fun but applications are being made and interviews had. I'll find something eventually. It was a nice break from the stress of it all actually.

Dude, I said that after Episode I. XD
The Clone Protocol 66 chip arc?
I watched that too but the scene I'm referring to was when they learn the truth about Sifo Dyas.

There's no real way of knowing. Yoda acts like a crackpot when he first meets him but I suppose he might have suspected who he was.

For those of you who haven't seen, it's rumoured Benicio Del Toro has been offered the part of a villain in Episode VIII.

Yoda has clearly been chatting with ghost Obi-Wan, so he knew.
The whole Sifo Dyas thing always came across as contrived to me when it was introduced in the prequels. With that TCW arc it seemed like them having to write around what was already a shitty plot thread.
I've said this before and if you look through my post history, I probably sound (read?) like a broken record but that last arc of Season 5 is my favorite Star Wars thing ever. Those last few minutes of that season get me all up in the feels every time.
It was great. That whole CYA thing from the Council about how this was clearly the force testing you and is proof you are ready to become a knight and her turning them down was just heartbreaking. Windu and Yoda both needed a good kick in the ass for that shameful performance.
And did anyone else think she was implying she knows about Padme at the end?
For sure, she was definitely hinting at that.

Crackpot Yoda is best Yoda. Seriously, every time he takes the lamp and starts laughing like a maniac or beats R2 with his cane I can't help but smile.

Seems Those 25+ years alone at the swamp can royaly mess you up.

Oh definitely. Crackpot Yoda definitely would have triumphed over Sidious.

He was testing his patience. Yoda keeps the act going right up until Luke starts to whine about wasting his time then tells Obi-Wan that he can't teach him.

Has anyone read / is reading Dark Disciple? I'm just over halfway through, and I'm really enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. This is probably my favorite Star Wars novel in recent memory.
It's good stuff. I wish it was made into actual episodes though. I'm finding it a bit hard to visualize certain things, like Vos' jedi friend, who may or may not look dog or cat-like? I just envision a Zygerrian with a concealed stinger somewhere.

Looks like you have to have a participating cable provider and Time Warner isn't listed unfortunately.
I'm watching it on Disney XD but the schedules and the latin american dub suck ass....I can´t unhear Mojo Jojo when Zeb talks
There's also several places to watch it online if you know what I mean. But I would support the show as its not on fire with ratings
The series is really great and is done by the same folks as The Clone Wars, however the budget is noticeably lower and the story a bit more family friendly (At least violence-wise)
Season 2 is set to give closure to several Clone Wars Characters. MEGA SPOILER AHEAD
Including Ahsoka and Captain Rex
I read through it. I liked it a lot, I already enjoyed Ventress' arc in TCW this book was a great way to see how she continued to evolve from that. As for Vos I already liked him after a friend of mine told me about how in the old canon and comics he survived the jedi purge and was just an all around badass, this book made me really like his character by actually seeing him interact with people and not just hearing about a few things he did from a friend. I guess I have a thing for outgoing jedi with dreads since Kit Fisto is one of my favorites as well.
Anyway, I got really disappointed that none of this got to be episodes because I'm sure they would have been fantastic. I saw some clips of what they were working on when season 6 was cancelled, and while I read it I could see all the little happenings of the story in animation, would have been sublime. Anyway, I just wonder where things will go after the ending of the book which I won't spoil of course, but it's still really interesting.
Oh I've seen a couple of the relevant scenes. That's what makes me interested, gotta see what happens to my favorite girl.

I think he's a great actor and could do a great job.
Interesting to see how it plays out.

I've fallen behind a bit on my reading lately so I haven't started it yet. Glad to hear it's good though!

I don't see how I'd be able to resist.
You asked how to watch them not how to watch them for free.
Even with declining cable/sat subscription rates, it's not hard to find someone you know that has an account. If they trust you enough to share their login information you can watch a ton of stuff steaming online through their respective portals, as well as through the websites of certain channels, such as watchdisneyxd.comAftermath is the first major novel to come out post-Disney acquisition in my mind. I do plan on getting it and hope that it's good.
I'll also be getting the Force Awakens novelization since those are canon too and it should give us some added details.
