^I've got to watch Rebels, I love the animation style and that above duel with Maul is epic.

you should.  the "its for kids" bs wears off pretty quick, same for Clone Wars.  The Mortis Arc in Clone Wars would have been a far better prequel then what we got.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

for Jarhead, the only true samurai battle in all of Star Wars:

Obi vs Maul Rebels season 4


while Maul was almost a throw away villian in the phantom menace he is truly fleshed out and becomes one of the most interesting characters in the franchise.  most of the new shows are going to draw heavily on the animated storied as they are under the control and direction of the same person.

So does the animated series depart from events of the movies, or do they just take place prior to the events of the movies?

I've watch some of the Clone Wars series, but only one or two of the seasons. I've heard it gets much much better.

the series ties all of the loose end together and adds a shit ton of story and context that the movies could never possibly deliver.
the standout character is Ahsoka Tano!
if you want to give your daughters a positive can do role model... shes amongst the gold standards.

I don't think you answered his question.  My confusion is the fact that Maul dies at the end of Ep 1.  So does the animated series simply take place before Ep 1?  Or does it work with a new timeline?

The one problem with the former is that by making a prequel for a dead character, you eliminate all tension about how and when they will die, since you've already seen their death.  You know they're guaranteed to survive any life threatening situation by virtue of the fact that they need to be alive for a movie that's already been written, produced, and released.

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Maul actually showed up in the Solo film as well, which in the timeline is after episode 1.  Between that an the animated series, it basically meant maul didn't actually die and survived the battle in episode 1.

Maul doesnt die in episode one.  how he lives and what he becomes is one of the central thread of the animated series.
in the overall timeline of the movies The Clone Wars tv show takes place between episode 2 and 3 and covers roughly 4 years of story.
the seventh season ends just as the third movie takes place.  all very nice and neat.

The wookie enforcer in Ep 2 was pretty badass looking.

The whole Dances with Sand People storyline was kinda meh though.

GDS_Starfury

I thought it was an awesome episode.  even the dance at the end as it was Boba's final entry into the Tuskin clan.
I liked the way they used the Tuskins fighting style to introduce Boba's Samoan style.

Yeah, Maul survives getting cut in half and he's pretty danged salty about it. 

I was initially SUPER against that story beat.  But the way Clone Wars and Rebels handled it, Maul went from just a random baddie that gets killed off quickly to one of the most fleshed out and interesting Sith Characters in the canon. 

Obi Wan pretty much becomes Maul's White Whale for defeating him and costing him is place at Palpatine's side.  It ends with the above, super epic Samurai Duel that takes place when Luke is a child. 

It was a really great "the bad guy didn't really die" storyline.  Boba's non-death is looking like it's doing a pretty great follow up too. 

I really never liked Boba as a character (if he could even be called one) prior to Mandalorian and this show.  He's now becoming a favorite.

The Bad Batch is also worth watching, though I'd start with with the Clone Wars series first. In both of those series (and to a lesser extent Rebels) the Old Republic (and briefly imperial) Clone troopers are extensively explored as individual entities with character and depth in a Band of Brother/Platoon way that completely change how you see them.

And in later episodes there are some priceless cracks by Clone Trooper Rex about the non-clone replacement conscript stormtroopers' skills and their armor.
