Dave Filoni has been heavily hinting Vader and Ahsoka will duel this season. I say there is about 0.0001% chance she comes out of that alive. Bye bye Ahsoka.

They'll come up with something. Her death will be saved for something closer to a series finale rather than a season finale.
They had Kanan & Ezra duel his ass and neither of them even got all that injured. "But Vader wanted them to escape!" True, but he didnt' HAVE to want them to escape, right? Someone in that room will write up a reason for why he doesn't WANT to kill Ahsoka on sight, and so he won't.
Unless they've heard that Season Two really is all they're going to get (I still think it's possible they'll chop up Season Two into two halves, and name the back half Season Three, and call it a day) in which case yeah - she'll probably die in that duel.

Wait until Season 5. It really gets going there.
I think Palpatine made sure he was very involved while Anakin was growing up and Anakin came to view him as a father figure. Anakin truly believes Palpatine is the benevolent and reluctant ruler he portrays himself to be.
oh yes. the ride to S5 finale is wonderful, with very few hiccups
So it looks like I'm going to be running a Star Wars literacy night for about 400 children ages 4-11 sometime in November. I'll be reading one of the clone wars children's novels and We'll be showing them A New Hope for the first time.
Need some ideas for a costume. I want to dress up as a member of the 501st, but I'm not sure where the best place would be to get the suit pre-made. Any suggestions?

Slave Leia. The costume just sold for like, $90,000.
It doesn't seem like the Rebels story team is thinking of the show in terms of two seasons. Simon Kinberg said this about the size of the Rebellion at the recent panel:
"Its not like its an insta-rebellion that just happened at the end of Season 1. It is something that continues to grow over future seasons. We have a lot of story to tell to see the alliance grow."
Well, we know that Vader thinks she can lead him to Kenobi, so he's not going to kill her so long as he believes that is still possible.

Darth vader vs Maul would be awesome to show in Rebels.

The comics? Yeah, they're a lot of fun. You should enjoy them.
I thought about this too, but you'd need a very good reason for them to fight
Maybe Vader looks for him and offers to look for Kenobi together, only to betray him at the end?
Not the comics, the old Legends EU books. The first one, Rogue Squadron, is pretty neat so far, though I'm hoping Corran Horn develops into less of an asshole.

Could be Maul wanting like, a revenge, for Vader essentially replacing him at the emporers side? Maybe thinks if he kills Vader he can reclaim his rightful position.
Haven't watched the show yet though so I don;'t know if this would fit the story of Maul.
This is why I absorb a lot of books via audiobook these days. In some ways it's not as immersive but it does allow you to experience way more books since you can listen while doing other things.

I have to admit I wasn't a fan of Maul coming back...and even though I've softened my stance a little on it after watching the actual episodes, I'm still not a fan. I mean...the guy was cut in half. It just seems like they brought him back because "he was soooo cool bruh" and he has a big following. To me, it just seems like they are catering to his fanbase. They could have easily just had Savage take over the
Death Watch
With that being said, they do need to resolve his arc (i.e. kill him off for good) IMO. And it should either be Obi-Wan that does it, or Vader.
You could watch the movie until Anakin leaves the first planet they're on. That would give you enough reference if you don't want to watch the whole thing. The movie is essentially a four episode arc though so if you're going to commit to watching the series, I say you might as well watch it too.
I used to have a longer commute which would have been great for an audiobook. Realistically, I need to make some time either way so hopefully I can just prioritize it.

Fair enough, I'll start with the movie. Thanks.

Yeah I say start with the movie as well.
Just keep telling yourself it will get better (it does). The movie has a few good parts but overall it's just 'meh'.

Just start the series. The movie is ass.

The animation is really trash. I was surprised how crap it was when my brother and I watched it.

Everything about that endeavor was ass. It shouldn't have happened. The show wasn't ready, that arc wasn't good, and forcing it to be stitched together and pushed into theaters was a terrible idea. It did the opposite of jumpstarting interest in the show.
Did they remove the corny as shit rock music? I either completely tuned it out, or they definitely replaced it with that Williams-lite stuff.

Not sure how reliable this is but rumours are circulating the trailer's done. No great surprise but it's nice to think it's on the way soon-ish.

Holy crap, Mercy Mission may be my favourite episode of Clone Wars so far. R2 and C3PO, cute aliens and awesome tree things. The Jedi led episodes leave me a bit cold (I never liked the war generals angle) so having a clones and droids-centric episode was a lovely breather.

Speaking of Battlefront here is some new gameplay footage (not sure if posted on another thread): https://youtu.be/J3A1yK0Dy0c
(That game needs some more work)

Damn, there are some salty Prequel fundies out there.
I wrote a pithy tweet reply about the series' 'rhyming' not working that well to the Star Wars account, and some crazy rando sends me aa bunch of pics/meme and then blocks me.

Yeah. It's kinda bizarre it's still a thing.
I was gonna write something about it at Full of Sith, but someone pointed out to me that in a couple years, when there's more movies, that kind of bullshit will just naturally die down because they simply won't have the time to laser-focus so strongly on that shit, and they'll eventually chill the fuck out over fighting everyone to the death for being "bad fans" because you don't like everything the way they like it.

Astromechs and Protocol droids are pretty common, and Obi-Wan said that R2 was just a droid. And I has been a long time.
For any Rebels fans (since the season one OT is rather dead), I came across some cast interviews about the new season.
That all sounds great. I'm really looking forward to the premiere.
It does. I really like the sounds of where they're going this season. I'm looking forward to those character background episodes - especially
the Sabine and Mandalore one
Edit: I forgot that about this. Here's a new TV spot for Rebels with a bit of the new Inquisitors.
This is the internet, nothing ever really dies.
In 20 years there'll still be people online in some dark corner of the internet wanting the old EU books back.

Yeah, but they'll be WAY smaller, is what I'm saying.
(the Bring Back Legends guys took a huge hit to their shins post-dragoncon when a bunch of places started comparing them to GamerGate. Lotta people shut the fuck up right after that)
