Damn, looks like I missed a good shitfight? There's a swathe of deleted posts.

I'm going to wait for all of Ashoka to drop before watching. I am worried about reports it's hard to follow if Clone Wars and Rebels haven't been watched. But I'll give as go, although I'm really not a fan of the Filoni (we were never going to click, the lover of the prequels and the hater of the prequels ), but it will fill the Star Wars gap until Andor returns.

There's still time for you to binge watch rebels and SWCW while you wait

@Nepia

[canefan]

I haven't started watching yet, but if Thrawn is back, where is Ezra?

[Kiwiwomble]

@canefan i havent watched yet either, mrs womble was interested and so were waiting to finish some other things...then she said she wasn't bothered so i can jump in shortly, i love CW and Rebels all in for complete fan service

[canefan]

Loved Rebels, CW less so. A bit like BoB vs The Pacific. Lovable group of characters vs too many characters

[Kiwiwomble]

@canefan that makes sense, love CW but not every story/episode

[Bovidae]

This is what I used as my guide. You could probably get away with just watching the episodes from S4 of Rebels.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Bovidae jeez....not great if you have to have watched over 30 episode of 3 different series to be able to keep up

as much as i like them myself everyone knows there are loads of people out there that havent and wont watch an animated show, i kind of hoped they would either stand alone...or they would actually reshoot some of the most critical scenes from the animated shows in live action

[Bovidae]

@Kiwiwomble The first 2 episodes of Ahsoka are used as an introduction to the characters for those that haven't watched Rebels etc.

[Kiwiwomble]

ok, thats good to hear

@Nepia is filoni a prequel "lover"?....i always kind of thought he liked the idea....and wanted to fix all the stuff they got wrong, Maul for example

Yep, he actively advocates for them - he's discussed it on Kevin Smith's podcast, and I think he partially converted Smith, but he didn't actually outline it on the show itself. If I could remember what podcast it was I'd let you know but it's a really old episode.

.+ @canefan And nope not going to binge them, as womble notes some people don't want to watch animation, that's me.

Surely you must be able to get a summary online to bring you up to speed?

Good thinking, TBH I didn't even think about doing that.

Question, have you ever tried? Personally I find so much of model action films (mainly looking at you avatar) are cgi things being animated is not an issue, in saying that I’ve founds enough cool adult orientated animated programs I generally don’t have an issue to start with

Watching episode 1 now and so far love it, mysterious baddies, loads of fan service and rebels throwbacks and already feels more cohesive than BoBF or even lots of Mando

The production value on Rebels was pretty high, it isn't like old school animation

I watched the Clone Wars movie. But I'm not a huge fan of animation in general. I don't mind some - Lego Movie, Spider-verse, Studio Ghibli, Pixar etc. But when I'm choosing TV to watch I'm more likely to pick live action.

Rebels was so much better than all of those. Proper storylines

That’s fair, Spider-Man and Lego are both pretty impressive, the clone wars movie not the best representation of the tv show though, they upgraded a lot for the series and rebels different again

Some of the maul and mandalorian arcs are great

Not to mention the DV/ Ashoka arc and the inquisitors

I love Chopper that little mass murdering psycho

You're not making me want to watch it by taking shots at those films.
