To answer the last question:
Anakin gives Ahsoka sabers before she goes off to face Maul, as per the Ahsoka novel.
This scene is in the trailers.

And avoiding lip-syncNow all that CW armor makes sense as them just straight up avoiding the rendering cost of complex physics for most of the clothing.
Not surprising really, they were already getting rid of most of that kinda stuffApparently Filoni was insistent on removing the Padme gunship art scene, because he was upset she featured so little in the actual season, he didn't want that to be how she was represented in it.
It was certainly comedic, but it was only a funny gag, and would have been tonally super super jarring coming right so close to Revenge of the Sith

Like I said in an earlier post in this thread. ROTS made Darth Vader, a super smart villain who almost destroyed the Rebel Alliance, a really dumb person.You can definitely tell that this is ROTS times because Anakin didn't notice that Padme is clearly pregnant, in the same way that has didn't notice that Palpatine, a dude telling him a sith legend, is a Sith Lord.
Literally almost everyone got hit by the stupid stick in ROTS. And the one storyline where a character seemingly dodged that stick and would've created an alliance in secret that led to the rebellion and overall fall of the empire got her storyline massively cut down and replaced with....many scenes of her standing and looking worried.Like I said in an earlier post in this thread.

Yeah so dumb. It would be such a good idea to have Padme come up with the idea of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. It would also fix the plothole that Leia knows the face of her mom. Padme could've died in an accident on Alderaan a few years after ROTS and there wouldn't be a plothole at all.Literally almost everyone got hit by the stupid stick in ROTS.

I liked it. Three good episodes in a row is a win imo. I hope that we see the Bad Batch in the episodes after this arc as well. They're funny badasses.
The way he said 'yeah, just like old times' makes me think that yes.
I just want them to remake the PT with Clone Wars characterizations. Put them all together and make it work.
I also noticed that in the first two episodes. The droids are way more passive than in previous seasons which is just weird. We already know that most characters live after the war so I don't really mind.The plot armor was thick this episode. The droids could have easily slaughtered them in a crossfire.
Or the fact they just never get hit despite just standing there shooting back.
The show looks so good now. :)
Yeah I was kind of half expecting for them to do it just because. They said something close though.I was kinda hoping for a "they fly now?!", but I guess RoS came out too recently
Literally the same though, watched ROTS two nights ago and it's like, fuck, Anakin in the CW is literally a completely different person not due to circumstance but due to the incredibly poor writing and acting direction of the sequels. Hell, Obi-wan and Padme too. Like if Disney announced an animated ROTS remake directed by Dave Filoni and his team that outright replaced the events of that film I wouldn't bat an eye.Man going from this I went to watch some scenes from ROTS and the part where Anakin pushes Mace Windu out a window and becomes Darth Vader.
The transition is so quick it gave me whiplash.
Dude went from distraught that he killed one Jedi to two minutes later being willing to kill all of the Jedi to save Padme.
It's insane. I can't reconcile the incredible characterization The Clone Wars has done even with the set up of darker sides of Anakin with the Anakin we see in ROTS. Thsi is especially true considering we're so close to the movies in the timeline now. Clone Wars Anakin is confident, cocky, and charming while ROTS Anakin is whiny, full of self doubt, and incredibly entitled.

I just watched ROTS a week ago and it's more apparent than ever how fast the turn is. Like I've said before, he should have at least actually killed Windu, to see his first Jedi kill and give him more of a sense of no going back, rather than cutting off Windu's hand to going straight to killing younglings.Man going from this I went to watch some scenes from ROTS and the part where Anakin pushes Mace Windu out a window and becomes Darth Vader.

I'd like to see live action Star Wars attempt more alien-looking planets again like some of the ones you see in Clone Wars.
Did Disney already call you?

The way that I always reconcile this stuff is that the dark side is like a dark, evil cloud that you allow to enter yourself, and when you do, it immediately and completely corrupts you into a different person. Occasionally a small vestige of your past self might poke through, but otherwise they're gone, and your new personality consumes you.
It's your fault for letting it in, but what happens afterwards is like a different person. This is also why it's "okay" that someone like Anakin or Ben Solo can be "redeemed." It's their fault for turning to the dark side, but all the stuff they did while "under the influence" wasn't necessarily them, if that makes sense.
So I'm guessing the TechnoUnion tech they used on Echo is what evolves into the 'Lobot' stuff the Empire and criminals are developing by the times Rebels comes around.
Also the horrifying 'Decraniated' people that appear briefly in Solo and Rogue One.
(Their brain is totally removed and replaced with that of a droid).
It's probably the most disturbing concept in Star Wars that seems to get thrown into new canon materials, but never fully inspected or discussed.
Re: Anakin's characterization. I really really really wished they'd kept the Utapau episodes that we have a story reel of. I watched that immediately after season 6 and it felt like such a strong bridge between CW and ROTS.At that point for me I had gone straight from watching Ahsoka leave Anakin and the Jedi Order to diving right into a new Anakin in the Utapau episodes. Anakin is so dark in them. He's irritable, impatient, trigger happy, violent, and even a little sadistic. It felt like a natural progression for him to lash out after experiencing abandonment again from another significant female presence in his life. I hope we see that side of Anakin appear in a different episode in the season because I think it would help make his portrayal in ROTS a little more digestible.
