      I think it would have been really cool if Boba ended up needing to catch a bounty as part of the plot somehow…something that would have shown him in his true element and how good he is at hunting and fighting.

        So when you say you don’t hate it but it’s destroying Star Wars, then you actually mean that you really don’t like it, or just that it has a very different feel but that’s okay? For me, I agree with you that it really breaks with so much of Star Wars that it really doesn’t do anything good for Star Wars continuity, so for me, I really don’t like it (except for a few scenes that were cool).

          I think Ahsoka is who I also thought was most likely when Barriss said this. I like the idea too that the two of them actually made amends and became real friends after their struggles together as padawans on Geonosis, and much later during Barriss’ awful betrayal in setting up Ahsoka to take the blame for the bombings on the Jedi Temple. While Ventress is a possibility – and I do think her story has more to be told post-Empire’s rise to power – I agree that this is less likely. Almost certainly couldn’t be referring to Obi-Wan given his anonymity in hiding. Overall, I like the ‘Tale of the…” series because they really given so much more meaning to main story arcs. I hope Ventress gets to be in one of these, and maybe even see one about Omega later if/when she joins the Rebellion, or what she ends up doing.

            It is very interesting that you say this. I actually just finished writing a review for Ep 5 on this site (see review here) and came to the same conclusion pretty much as you, with one caveat. Episode 4 is its equal in the sense that Ep 4 is the original story arc; however, in terms of actual plot and character development, Ep 5 is its superior. I say this because Han and Leia’s relationship is just developed so well in Ep 5 – and in general the acting is exceptional. In addition, Darth Vader is more ominous and threatening in Ep 5 which was an improvement compared to Ep 4. Luke’s development as a Jedi in training and the introduction of such an unassuming character as Yoda was also very brilliant.

            There are also some very iconic and significant scenes that show how well the film was really written including the unique idea of freezing Han Solo in carbonite as a testing method to capture Luke, and of course the massive reveal and plot twist that Darth Vader is in fact Luke’s father. The balance of comedy and intense/serious scenes also is very well done, and the list goes on and on.

              I just started wondering this when Bad Batch Season 3 started several weeks ago. Very astute of you though to even be thinking about hints of it in the first season, like when she anticipated Crosshair was right behind that door. Now I’m going to have to go back and watch/review the first season to see if there are more clues to support this, but yes- I definitely think you could be right.

                I’ve read Plagueis, but it’s been long enough that I’d forgotten this passage entirely. Such an epic line and provides deep insight into the Dark Side and the mind of the Sith. Thinking of Kotor really makes me want to play it again and see if I notice any other physical changes. Seems like the orbits around the eyes would get more sunken too, but I’d have to check.

                  I hope you’re right, but I still have my reservations about how this could get complicated quickly

                    I don’t think Palpatine ever let Vader get as strong as he was. I think Vader’s abilities were severely stunted after he lost to Obi-Wan on Mustafar, which played right into Sidious’ hand.

                      With regard to inheritance, I should also note that Rey was extremely Force-sensitive just as her grandfather, Emperor Palpatine was. Important to note though that Rey’s father was not Force-sensitive, so this does add some further questions about the inheritance pattern.

                        I don’t think we really know how midi-chlorians get into the blood of Force-sensitive users; I don’t think it has been established in canon. As far as the inheritance of them though, the Skywalker lineage; from Anakin to Luke and Leia to Ben Solo would actually suggest that there is indeed an inheritance pattern. The reason we don’t see that pattern with Shmi isn’t entirely clear, but likely is related to the fact that Anakin’s origins were a mystery in the first place. If he was somehow born in the Force, then this could explain why his inheritance of Force senstivity didn’t come from his mother, but from some other means in the first place.

                          Interesting thought. Definitely want to find out whatever that meant when Season 2 comes out

                            That’s fair. I really don’t try to get too focused on the rules of a story arc, but I do think it’s important to be consistent and that’s what I’m really questioning with this turn of events/new development in ‘Ahsoka’.

                              I should say, I’m sure there are implied rules in this- like most people’s ability to strengthen their connect to the Force is relatively fixed/inert, but implied rules like this just feel like excuses. I guess, overall, I’m not sure how much I love this new concept in Star Wars.

                                Good point- yeah I like how real the galaxy feels in Andor. I’ll be looking forward to Season 2 for sure

                                  Even though Andor was slow, in some ways I liked the pace, because it really built up the hype- like when they infiltrated the garrison on Aldhani- took a long time to get to, but then was totally awesome!

                                    That makes sense- I agree that there were some good fighting scenes. Kenobi also had some good fighting scenes at the very end, but I agree that the ending to Ahsoka was pretty intriguing- more so than in many of the series so far.

                                      That’s a good point. I’d forgotten about that weird mountain carving, but it does seem like there might be something cool that will still happen before they return back to the normal galaxy.
