I did watch Tales of the Jedi!

Very good stuff over all. I wont go too deep into each episode but I think the Dooku stuff was definitely the strongest, although I think they could have utilised Qui-Gon a bit more. Incidentally not only does Liam Neeson reprise his role but I believe his son plays young Qui-Gon which was fun. The way they tied in Yaddle was great though I do question why nobody asked questions about a Jedi Master getting murdered or at least disappearing. Overall Dooku is easily one of the most interesting Star Wars characters - unlike just about everybody else on the dark side he clearly has an ideology beyond selfish desire for power above all.

The Ahsoka stuff was strong also especially her second episode with the training. It is really interesting to see yet another way in which Anakin gave people the tools to defeat the Empire, in this case inadvertently training Ahsoka to survive Order 66. It gives some additional context to the whole there is still good in him thing in a way that makes that line seem a lot less deranged.

As for Mortis yeah its an arc I still dont fully know how to feel about. I really think I need to watch it again with a notepad to sort it out in my head haha. I think the Living Force arc (aka Yoda arc) does a much better job getting across some of the same themes and showing what George Lucass idea of the Force really is. Amusingly in the very last arc he worked on start to finish. For Mortis though apparently it is very important in Rebels so Ill get to that. Even ties in to The Mandalorian apparently.

Also just for fun, top 5 and bottom 5 arcs, going top to bottom:

Top -

1. The Siege of Mandalore (best)
2. The Rogue Jedi
3. Shadow Collective
4. Protocol 66
5. Umbara

Bottom -

1. Mon Cala
2. Dooku Captured
3. Blue Shadow Virus
4. D-Squad
5. R3-S6 (worst)

D-Squad was the worst until Gregor showed up!
