Both of those shows were very good.  The latest movies could have been great.  Oh, well.

I got the impression that what Ahsoka and Grogu were “talking” about was far more than it seemed.

I wouldn’t be surprised if “Baby Yoda” said his first word/s in the season finale...

That's my take as well.  I think he basically "told" her that he's sticking with Mando.  
I think he also told her to have Din Djarin take him to Tython to the temple.  Did anyone else catch the look they gave one another as Mando walked back up the ramp with him to leave?  
Ashoka tearfully bowed her head; sad, but happy that he was headed on the right path.  

Remember, Grogu is 50-some years old and was raised in a Jedi temple, trained by many masters.  Ashoka isn't "technically" a Jedi in the purest sense of the meaning anymore, either.  More of a grey Jedi.
Grogu probably has just as much knowledge of the Force as she does.  He simply isn't showing it right now, for whatever reason.  Hell, he stopped a charging Mudhorn and lifted it off the ground in Season 1.  
Her words to Din Djarin were, "I can't train him" not "I won't train him."  The phrasing struck me as somewhat odd, given the circumstances.  

I think he's headed to the temple to get his mojo back.  
I also think that there's a good chance the Jedi he'll be calling "from the mount" aren't necessarily going to be doing the training, but rather once more Jedi are being called to gather.

One interesting quirk about Jar Jar in the Clone Wars version is that he's like a pure "chaotic good" for the Force.  
Sure, he bumbles it up, but it always creates some positive outcome.  In the movies, he was just an irritating imbecile.  

Honestly, I think the CW version nails the best portrayal of Jar Jar.  
If you hadn't been soured on the character by the movies, this version would be much more palatable.  
Some of the episodes actually add a depth of character to him.  For that reason alone, they're worth watching.

What evidence do we have that The Child is a good guy? Just because he’s cute?

He seems to be quite mischievous, and has no issues stealing eggs, baby spiders, cookies, whatever else he feels like shoving down his gullet.

Wouldn’t mind a little plot twist with the little black-eyed demon.

Pretty sure she did... when she said she felt much fear in him and wouldn't train him and then compared him to her former master and best friend...

ETA: I don't necessarily think he's outright evil, but I do think they're using him to make Snoke, successfully we won't know quickly.

Also the scene where she says she can't train him may be an attempt on Filoni's behalf to salvage the Jedi and Luke with his own shitty director's choice.

The bond Anakin had with Padme is what lead him to the path of the dark side. That's the entire point. He loved her to the point of corruption.

Just watched the latest episode.  I like where things are going; but, as I’ve stated, I’m even more afraid that the show will drift off into a land of having to have watched TCW & Rebels, read all the EU, played all the games and bought all the toys in order to appreciate it.

Homage after homage after homage.  Samurai. Spaghetti western. Terminator. Tombstone.

I kept thinking of this towards the end, and was a little  disappointed in the music...

Remember Ahsoka said something to the effect when they were trying to get him to move the stone that he was hiding his abilities out of fear of being discovered. It was a matter of survival why he has not shown how truly powerful he is with the force.

No, she made it clear that it was due to the fear she senses in Grogu and his strong attachment to Mando. Those are both paths to the dark side. And because she saw Anakin fall first hand, and how terrible Darth Vader became. She's understandably very gun shy about the force because she's seen how bad it can go, and she knows how powerful with the force Yoda and Grogu's species are. If Grogu were to succumb to the dark side, it would be a disaster the likes of which the universe has never seen

I would absolutely not watch either cartoon series before all 6 mainline movies. They were written assuming you already know the story and spoil some of the best moments. The overall franchise is not meant to be watched in strict chronological order. More like main story line with flashbacks. Imagine if Pulp Fiction had been cut in time order.

And that's part of why Jar Jar exists. He's an over the top slap stick character, which kids love when done right but is annoying to adults. Kids also have little to no understanding of the deeply complex political machinations Palpatine did. The big allure of Star Wars is different parts of it appeal to different groups, so everybody has something to enjoy. Jar Jar has a target audience and this site's membership isn't it.
