After seeing Boba Fett in The Mandalorian Season 2, I know there are many new Boba and Jango Fett fans out there who want to know the full story about Boba's dad, Jango, and how he became the ruler of Mandalorians and the feud between Death Watch and Jaster Mereel.

The Ahsoka show is here and with it the two episode premiere. Here's a full and complete breakdown of what I think is going on, as well as many easter eggs you might have missed in the show. From sounds of Vader's force choke, to mentions of Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka's possible path to Luke Skywalker. This show so far has been really great and I'm happy Dave Filoni is running it.

This second episode was awesome! We have a new galaxy to explore in Star Wars with new villains and powers beyond the Jedi and Sith. Baylan says that galaxy, Peridea has power that we have never seen before. I believe this is a galaxy with a new set of rules. New people. New powers. Powers beyond the force, perhaps Magic. I think it’s absolutely brilliant how Dave has created another galaxy, many of them in fact, and is introducing new civilizations that make even Baylan, a powerful Jedi who survived Order 66, amazed. Ahsoka and Hera observe the hyperdrives being dismantled on Corellia to be repurposed to the New Republic, as they learn that ex Imperials work for the new republic, still on pay roll. They were never fired, they all kept their same job just no longer under the Empire. They talk about Sabine becoming Ahsoka’s apprentice again, and Ahsoka is reluctant. A medical droid attends to Sabine’s wounds, this is the same class of droid that worked on Anakin as he transformed into Darth Vader. Huyang walks in and tells Sabine that Ezra’s lightsaber is actually now hers because she has modified it to her liking. He hands it to her after some encouraging words, and she is going to get serious now instead of being such a rebellious brat. We learn that these dismantled imperial fleet ships when sold are profitable to fund many different republic projects among other things. As Hera notices the hyperdrive core outside being built, they’re told 9 have been built. This core is WAY too big to be used for any new republic ship. The information is classified and General Hera Syndulla is being denied. Ahsoka asks about the HK assassin droids that could be repurposed here, as they learn a droid of this class does exist here, currently departing on that transport. The traitorous workers scream FOR THE EMPIRE and attack Ahsoka and Hera, as Hera races for the Ghost and Ahsoka jumps out the window facing Marrok. The inquisitor loyal to Baylan it seems, as he holds a red lightsaber. They fight as Hera chases the hyperdrive core being transported. Chopper tries to find the tracker, as he throws a literal big LEGO piece out, finally finding the tracker. This is hilarious. Marrock can’t take Ahsoka and ends up running away to his or her ship. I have no clue who this is. It could be Barris Offee I think, but I don’t know. Ashoka dodges his lightsaber as it returns to him, she’s in control of all emotions and can sense everything. She’s very samurai. Very one with the force. Sabine heads back home, lays her Mandalorian armor out like a Samurai, kneels before it which is very ritual like, and cuts her hair. The imperial loyalists on Corellia are arrested. Also, for a fun fact, Corellia is where Han Solo was raised. Sabine sends a holo to Ahsoka of her in armor. She’s ready. We’re now at the very end of Rebels where she dawns the armor, observing the mural of the ghost crew, touching Ezra’s face, turning to see Ahsoka there to pick her up. We’re now all caught up and ready to find Ezra…and…THRAWN. Huyang informs them Hera Syndulla has tracked the ship, they’re in Denab system, in orbit around the planet Seatos. As the hyperdrive cores are being put together, we can see this is HUGE. Clearly something big enough for a massive ship to be launched into hyperspace…or perhaps…open a portal using the power of the hyperdrive cores. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ahsoka Episode 1 is here and with it, my breakdown! A lot happened in this episode and I have to say beyond Ahsoka Tano, I am really interested in Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati as they navigate their way through the story with Morgan Elsbeth to find Thrawn (and Ezra). I really think they are interesting characters who survived Order 66 and I'm eager to learn more about them (and just how much Baylan knew about Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader) Awesome seeing Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla and Chopper..and of course...Huyang!

In today’s fan fiction we’re going to cover what would have happened if Vader actually did get the Death Star plans in rogue one. He was so close, and the fact that he didn’t just force pull the plans from the Rebel always made me wonder if he purposely let them get away, maybe he wanted it to explode because of his infatuation with the force triumphing over technological weapons. What happens to Luke Skywalker? Obi-Wan Kenobi? Han Solo? Palpatine? Leia? Yoda? Here's one way things could turn in an alternate fan-fiction universe... Learn more about your ad choices.

Mace Windu was a revered Jedi Master. Highly respected on the council in throughout the galaxy, he never showed fear towards the Sith or any of his enemies. The first time Mace showed some sort of concern or fear, was during this scene in Shatterpoint, which isn't canon anymore, as it's not legends material. I find it also interesting how he senses something like the battle on Geonosis would happen again. I suspect he must have felt Order 66, but didn't know exactly what to expect as to how catastrophic it was. Anakin Skywalker turned his back on the Jedi during Order 66, and I believe the second time Mace actually showed fear, was when Anakin took his hand and Palpatine blasted him with lightning.

Count Dooku was a political idealist, not a Sith Lord! At least, that's what the Jedi thought in Attack of the Clones, until he revealed himself as the Separatist leader!

The Jedi would house an entire Temple of Jedi students and Masters. They would take Jedi from their families before they were even younglings, and put them into the Jedi Temple's Jedi Academy. The Sith however, did things differently. How did they sense their Sith apprentice, without the Jedi knowing about it? Did they have some extra power the Jedi didn't? Some new ability, perhaps?

In the D23 footage that we got, we heard Sidious, however, it wasn't Ian McDiarmid, at least I don't think. Why? Also, why did Lucasfilm use a Sideshow Hot Toys statue of Sidious/Palpatine?

In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, nnce his inevitable turn to the dark side had begun at the hands of Emperor Palpatine, Anakin Skywalker was dubbed Vader and the Anakin we knew was no more. However, when was the first time that Vader acknowledged this himself to the audience? It’s not in the films, but in the book. It’s a cool scene that takes place on Mustafar where he’s sent to wipe out the separatists before fighting Obi-Wan Kenobi. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.

In Star Wars the Phantom Menace - Qui-Gon Jinn was introduced to us as the Jedi Master who defied the council rules and therefore was not on the council itself. There was more to his defiance, in which he actually disliked the Jedi Temple rules in how they trained their new jedi younglings into jedihood from Obi-Wan Kenobi's point of view. I think this is why Qui-Gon made Obi-Wan promise to train the boy, because he knew he'd do it his way, instead of the council's. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
