The Ahsoka series is coming.
- Thread starter Mach5
- Start date
Oh, I must have missed the "for me" in the post, my apologies then.
It's late and I don't have the link right now, but I read an interview with Dave Filoni on one of the entertainment sites I go to where he admited that you can kind of consider Ahsoka to be Season 5 of Rebels.
I’m totally okay with that.
Especially considering it's pretty obvious that Rebels only got a truncated season 4 as a concession, and they had at least another full season planned. I suspect what we actually got was what was supposed to be the last two thirds of season 5, and what was going to be season 4 got compressed down into those pair of two-parters with Mandalore & Saw.
So as with Clone wars, there's probably a small wealth of left-over material there to mine.

What really drives me nuts is how they devoted 4 episodes to Saw and never explained what happened to his legs.
Didn't he still have them in Rebels and Andor? Or am I remembering that wrong?
So he loses them MUCH closer to Rogue One then. Rebels ended either year of or year before ANH
That's the general assumption. I don't think it needs to be explained in any serious detail how a person that spends almost every day of his life fighting looses a limb, or the ability to breath without mechanical assistance.
He could have lost the legs/feet to a ship crash, an explosive, a hail of blaster fire, a collapsing wall, frostbite from an ill advised midnight trek through the high deserts of Jedha, or he tangled with that one idiot in Scar Squadron that thinks he knows how to use a lightsaber. Point being; it's not something Rebels needed to address.
Did Clone Wars ever explain where Anakin got his facial scar? Nope! Maybe he slipped in the shower. Doesn't matter.
Didn't the original 2D animated series show Ventress giving him the scar?
But yeah, I always assumed Saw's knack for getting into dangerous situations and putting others at risk would get him one day and it does. Probably includes all the additions to keep him upright and moving.
Right, I thought Saw got Agent Oranged on Geonosis. But I don't recall it being confirmed, either.
And this is why you shouldn't take reference fluff books as canon.
Speaking of . . .
Speaking of . . .
Nope. That was in the Clone Wars era Dark Horse comics and it happened on Coruscant right before the events of RotS (and war. In the 2D animated show, it just appeared between montages in the opening of Vol 2, way after the duel on Yavin 4. I think it was the RotS visual dictionary that conflated the two incidents.
Or they're a lesser level of canon than something like Rebels...
Repeat after me: There are no levels of canon. The very concept is an oxymoron. The word by sheer definition means something is either in or out. Books published by companies are just merchandise, they don't have magical powers over stories in other mediums. It's all just made up and isn't real.
Got all that? Good. I now return you to your regularly scheduled lack of critical thought.
