Yeah, I'm not super familiar with the Dark Disciple stuff, except that she's supposed to die in it. But I guess books/comics are canon until they aren't.

Anyway, I always liked Ventress because even with the inevitable "popular baddie undergoes a redemption arc" Star Wars malaise, she didn't become a 100% good guy (girl), she became a small-time criminal that just wanted to be left alone.

Ok, three episodes of Bad Batch already make this season IMO better than Mando S3 (RIP Greef Karga :( ). The emotional engagement is better, the action is better, and the pacing seems better. (And of course Kevin Kiner's score keeps being excellent.)
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

He appeared in one comic book series only. Must have left an impression. :P

I don't mind POV characters being women. :)
But discussions about wardrobe choices...  I'll give it a pass.  :P

I decided to go back and finish Phase I of The High Republic while I'm still in a Star Wars focus. I nabbed 7 different comics/YA books/books from the library and plan to add a few more when I finish these. The diversity in style and presentation is really great.  :)

Only seen Ep 1, but quite impressed.  Ep 2 tonight with my boys.

Watched the first 3 with the son. I do wonder when did Star Wars became a universe about cloning.

It's a story about a bunch of clones who escaped the Empire's control.  Plus Omega is our macguffin clone that drives the story in part.

Other stories, set at other times, have little to nothing to do with cloning.

Everything the emperor, therefore the Empire, does is about cloning. Darth Sidious entire deal is about strand casting himself into immortality building on the works of Darth Plagueis.

At least GF will be happy.

Until Yoda shows up at least.

I am concern that the show might be too violent for me to watch it my 11 year old.

I'm so excited for this! I absolutely *love* The High Republic and this will have a few carryover characters from that series in it. Also, the distance from the usual movie characters and organizations, minus the Republic, is always fun. There is a lot more room for surprises, fun, and shedding light on new things in the galaxy.

I'm a simple person. Star Wars with wuxia gets my stamp of approval.

I'm out the moment they introduce the Juke Skywalker character and mention a prophecy.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
