I've been slowly going through my son's Star Wars figures from when he was a kid. He has a lot of the Legacy figures. He's 21 now and doesn't really want them anymore. So my daughter and I have been going through them. I've mainly been picking out the ones I really like. Mostly Boba Fett and Deathwatch characters and a few CIS droids like Grievous but I just found this one in a box and thought it was relevant to The Mandalorian.
 Attached FileHe's missing a pauldron and I'm hoping it's in one of my sons other boxes of Star Wars figures. But this is the Phase 3 Dark Trooper that was part of the Build-A-Droid Legacy Double Pack figures. I remember my wife worked for Walmart at the time and she'd go through the figures on her lunch break just to find the ones that had the pieces for the Dark Trooper for my son. I'm hoping we'll see Dark Troopers in The Mandalorian. |

So Yaddle left the council how many years before 50 Y/O Grogu turns up?
Yoda probably knew all about Anakin/Padme and just didn't want to be a hypocrite. Yoda's exile never made a lot of sense, but it's really looking weak now. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought so too but I do not think she was even on the Jedi Council by the time Ahsoka was brought in as a Palawan. Actually according to the Wiki Yaddle stepped down after the Battle of Naboo and she was replaced by Shaak Ti. So no, Ahsoka was unaware of Yaddle. wait, wait, wait....so there's another one like Yoda and Grogu? |

Ok so watching this show and seeing them include characters from the cartoons has me curious. Is clone Wars and Rebels worth watching? Being cartoons I always assumed they were for little kids and never bothered.
Would love to see them make more movies based off of the SW universe. Something geared more for adults like Blade Runner instead of the Jar Jar Binks dumpster fire movies |

It’s a little rough starting out, but really picks up as it goes on. Rebels was really good. Both of them tell a lot of Ahsoka’s backstory. It will also cover some of Thrawn’s story. |

Yes they are worth watching, especially TCW as it adds such a deep context to the whole SW universe.
ETA: When you get to the episode "Landing at Point Rain" you will know it is worth it. |
