I'm sure the main conflict was probably already over by the time Anakin and Kenobi leave anyways since Kenobi is assigned to Utapau and Anakin wanted to go as well... I mean really they could have both went to Utapau which is one of the most questionable things in the prequels. One of those REALLY forced plot points to progress the story. That and I really wish Anakin could fight Grievous at some point. |

It was never exactly explained really why Anakin was recalled to coruscant (Kenobi stayed on Umbara) during the Umbara arc but I'm sure it had something to do with Palpatine which is why I get the same vibe for ROTS keeping Anakin from Mandalore. Okay this is a good point. But as you said, we didn’t see Anakin so he may have wanted to go back to Umbara or maybe on a secret mission. But just having him chilling on Coruscant would just be strange if we know what apparently going on at the same time. Though I guess you could also argue that the Padme dream thing started up pretty soon so that could have swayed him from wanting to go to Ahsoka. Idk a lot of TCW stuff and ROTS don’t flow that well together for me but I guess that’s kinda inevitable. |

Padme became pregnant near the start of ROTS, so the whole movie probably occurs over at least 6 months (assuming it took her a few weeks to realize), with most of its second half occurring in a few days most likely. During this period, Anakin could have ventured back to Mandalore/ Outer Rim Sieges and then returned prior to Obi-Wan leaving for Utapau. It's kind of a stretch, but I'm sure that DF would've fleshed it out more to make it as logical as possible.

Well Padme may have been pregnant for much longer, she just did not see Anakin for a few months so she couldn't tell him earlier. |

It still must have taken place over awhile. At the beginning of the movie, Padme can easily hide that she’s pregnant but by the end she’s giving birth.

We're at least getting Siege of Mandalore... I can't believe this is actually happening.

Never mind, I guess it's not taking that link. There's a clip of Obi-Wan and Anakin speaking with Ahsoka via hologram. They all have updated looks. It was from a Twitter post.

It's going to be on the Disney Streaming Service, so probably not until 2019. But Dave made it sound like we'll be getting everything we were supposed to... wow. This is amazing.
The animation may not be as good (the clip they showed seemed slightly off), but so far it looks great and I think we're all honestly happy with this as it is!

Damn those models look good. I feared this was going to get "rebelified" but it looks like they are using the models they used for the unfinished crystal arc.
Also, Filoni says "the early stuff we have been getting in" about the episodes. Sounds like there is going to be more than just the Mandalore arc to me.

But a lot of it has already been released in comics or books, I am not sure if Disney would bother releasing that stuff again... Also, RIP Cad Bane probably. This might be why Filoni refused to reveal his fate. |

Okay, there is one thing in the whole Siege of Mandalore Season 8 ending that does bug me a bit. I know we never saw it but it could have been explained in a different way but as I understand it, Anakin is called away from the battle to rescue Palpatine and then Order 66 occurs while she is on Mandalore. My problem is, ROTS doesn't happen over a day or two, it seems to happen over a month or more. Anakins rescue the Chancellor and they just hangs around for awhile. Shouldn't he have wanted to get back to Mandalore to help Ahsoka? Instead, he Potato is Awesomes Padme the night he gets back, bitches at the Council, and goes to an opera? Why would he be doing any of this if Ahsoka is fighting for her life on Mandalore against Darth Maul? I just don't think the Siege of Mandalore idea fits very well with the events of ROTS. Fucking weird how I was wondering about this just a couple days before. |

I rewatched the Mon Cala arc from S4. The episodes are about average in terms of stories from TCW, but it was so fun seeing them again. I can still picture coming home and being excited to see the premiere of S4, which was probably my favorite season. I'd rate them something like:
Water War: 7.5/10
Gungan Attack: 8/10
Prisoners: 8/10

The only weak episodes were the two dealing with 3PO/ R2, but they still gave enough thrills to be tolerable. Mon Cala was decent, and I thought Umbara, slave, bounty hunter, Maul/ Ventress, and both standalones were great. So 17/22 being really good made it a consistently strong season for me. The only other season with such great consistency was S2, but some of the stories weren't as complex, so I'd rank it below S4. Both S3 and S5 had amazing moments, but they also had some pretty weak parts, which makes it tricky to decide how to rank them compared to the others. S1 was the weakest I think, but that's mainly because the show was establishing its tone and setting up for larger events later on. |

The strongest episodes came from the second halves of Season 3 and 5. But incidentally, the first halves of those seasons are complete shit. (Okay a bit of an exaggeration but they really drag 3 and 5 down). Season 1 felt a large large part like predictable Saturday morning cartoons aside from a few episodes. Good fun and a nice introduction but not comparable. Season 6 is just kinda weird to categorize as it was so short. If we got all the episodes, I feel like it might be my favorite season but alas. Season 4 probably has the strongest run of arcs and good variety, but also has Crisis on Naboo, an episode which retroactively ruins a whole arc for me. And then some misters like Shadow Warrior and the Droid Arc. Season 2 is the only season with no episodes I consider bad or disappointments. But still, the storytelling just isn’t as strong as it would be, so I don’t even know. |

I feel like when the show reached new highs, the bad episodes got worse. I don’t know if that’s just because they were surrounded by great episodes or they just didn’t try with the filler shit.

And in early seasons, even the filler episodes seem to teach some kind of lesson or advance some development. But I have no idea what the fucking point of D-Squad was.

Anyone remember at the end of the Zillo Arc of season 2 the plans Palpatine had for the scales of the beast? They were practically impenetrable and he wanted to build armor out of it for certain troopers. I wonder what ever became of that? I think it would be neat if they had an arc that revolves around that (won’t happen but still). The way the episode ended made it seem like they had plans to continue that plot but didn’t seem to do so. Like if the separatists get word of the republic research and there is an invasion for the plans and what not. I guess it’s like the season 2 episode when Kamino was invaded but still. Thoughts?

Ok this is kinda random but I don't know why they had the Clovis arc chronologically take place in Season 6. It clearly wasn't supposed and it's awkward having it there. The character models are all old, Sheev is voiced by Ian Abercrombie, and Satine is referred to as if she's still alive.  |

Yeah I honestly kinda forgot about that. I don't know how they would have worked it in. Clearly it didn't succeed or Darth Vader would probably have Zillo armor. I don't know where they would have taken it. |
