Wait why were the offical servers closed to begin with? Didn't this game only come out a few years ago

They've been putting the films into cinemas near me recently, saw Episode IV for the first time on the big screen and man it was such a cool experience.

His voice as Vader is such an iconic role and part of this franchise and he will be dearly missed. Rest in peace

To be fair, it has probably been the most popular of the Star Wars shows with a lot of casual audiences getting Disney+ just for it.

Also based on the ending of S3, it might be a bit of a fresh start, as long as they do a minor bit of explanation on who Mando is and that Gorgu survived order 66 there's nothing too important they'll be missing

Might be fixed in this version but has anyone else been having issues with ShadowPlay just disabling itself constantly? Pretty much every time I turn on my PC I have to re enable it

Decent episode, not amazing but certainly not bad. As you say having 2 Doctor lite episodes back to back is a weird choice, hopefully we'll see more of him in the last few episodes.

And hey, the outside scenes were filmed at my old university campus, too bad I wasn't there when they were filming

Haven't seen Boom yet but maybe that's because the season isn't hitting for me.

I enjoyed the 60th and the Christmas specials, but the first 2 episodes of this season were just fine. They weren't terrible like the Chibnal era but they also weren't as good as RTD's first era.

I've not had much to do this weekend so it's not like I couldn't watch the episode, in fact I felt like watching Doctor Who earlier and I instead watched some S1 even though Boom is still to be watched.

I really hope the season gets better as the show has so much potential for more great stories, they just need to be made by the right people

Revenge of the Fifth

I've wanted to see Barriss become an inquisitor for a long time and I'm glad she acted like she did since she technically wasn't fully wrong for her actions in the clone wars, she just went about it in the worst way.

Episode 2 really showed how she was a good Jedi, but for what the Jedi were supposed to be, not soldiers which is why she did what she did.

I do wish we got something more with Vader given that she was the one who basically triggered Ahsoka into leaving the order in the first place which surely helped with his fall to the dark side.

Also I really hope she died at the end, we've had too many people surviving lightsaber wounds in recent years, bacta can't heal everything.

Episodes were fine I suppose, but I feel as though there could have been a better character to focus on instead of Morgan.

Thrawn is meant to be the next big villain for the Star Wars universe after the Ahsoka series and he wasn't exactly great in that so why not give us 3 episodes showing why he should be a threat

Overall I think it was a very good series. Season 1 was decent, season 2 got really good in the back half and season 3 was very good throughout.

After season 2 did explore more of the "clones after the war" plotline I was hoping for a resolution this season but it is "The Bad Batch" not season 8 of clone wars. I do hope they finish that story though, seems like a single season special could do it but not sure they'd want to do that.

I do like that the brainwashed clones were just regular clones, not like resurrected Tech or someone else we knew. Not everybody needs to be a known character.

Was quite surprised to see the whole batch survive, definitely thought Crosshair would’ve done some self sacrifice to save Omega but a happy ending for once is nice.

Glad Rampart went out like that, we didn't need another redemption arc for an Imperial. And Hemlok got what he deserved.

Overall I think it wrapped up the series nicely, there are a few unanswered questions but hopefully they will be addressed in other upcoming media.

I've always thought that Barriss would become an inquisitor, so glad to see that finally happen.

Loved Tales of the Jedi so hoping this continues to be a thing, just a short mini series fleshing out some characters using the beautiful Clone Wars art style.

Hopefully we will have another animated series using the art style soon after Bad Batch ends, but one of these every year would also be great

Yes? The episode will premiere on iPlayer at midnight for the UK. At which point it will be ~7pm in America. It will then air on BBC One hours later, presumably at the usual UK time slot.

So if I want to watch it as it goes live I'll have to stay up till midnight and for the duration of the episode. Whereas in America, it'll be a normal time for them.

And yes I can wait till later in the day to watch the episode but then I'll be missing that feeling of watching it with everyone else and not to mention it'll have to be the first thing I do for the day if I want to avoid spoilers

 

A shame to see Millie go so soon, I loved her in the Christmas special. Hopefully everything is fine behind the scenes and it's not a repeat of season 1's production

I'm guessing it's the very high quality image in the comments

The Mandalorian and Grogu are embarking on a new adventure — to movie theaters.

Directed by Jon Favreau, and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni, The Mandalorian & Grogu will go into production in 2024.

“I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created,” said Favreau. “The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting.”

"Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have ushered into Star Wars two new and beloved characters, and this new story is a perfect fit for the big screen," added Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm.

The Mandalorian & Grogu will lead Lucasfilm's ongoing feature-development slate, including films helmed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, and Dave Filoni, who is also currently developing Ahsoka Season 2, among those in the works.

This is the Way.
