Fives!

he is written a bit more like a used car salesman in rebels - less dangerous

Yeah, doesn't have the edge that he has in clone wars. He was somewhat more menacing in Freemakers than I would have anticipated.

So, did Lucas have any hand at all in the stories or direction of this show?

oh i'm up to the saw gererra episodes. The central premise (that the jedi cant actively interfere in their civil war) is stupid

It's their Prime Directive.

Ok i just watched

Spoiler: show

the one where Satine dies. If Sabine is Obi-Wan's, or even Satine's kid, she's been hidden very well. I think she is Satine's sister's kid.

Also, Emperor Sidious vs Maul and Savage is BAD FUCKING ASS!!

Holy shit!!

Spoiler: show

Tarkin!! Fucking Tarkin!!

So, he was a Republic admiral.

He was all over it in every department as far as I know.

Interesting

This whole Ahsoka storyline near the end of the fifth season is top shelf stuff, team.

Ahsoka as anakins padewan was also Lucas' idea believe it or not.

That's very interesting.

What I'm finding intriguing is how her storyline actively influences decisions Anakin makes later when he finally succumbs to the dark side. They're really emphasizing that nicely. Hell, much better than the actual movies did.

Yeah the clone wars works really well as Lucas being able to fill out and expand the story he was trying to tell at the time. Bear in mind Ahsoka was reviled by the entire fanbase when she first appeared. And now is one of the most beloved characters. And integral as you said not just to anakins story but the entire mythology.
When they get it right they really get it right. And we haven't seen the last of her either.

I wonder is she the focus of the new animated series they're working on? Would make all the sense.

And Tarkin's right in the middle of it, too!
