I've gotten some of my family to watch the Mandolorian. *Cackles*

I always liked Kyle Katarn from the Dark Forces and Jedi Knight games (and his appearances in the books). He was a great subversion of the "Jedi are tranquil warriors" trope with his backstory and the sort of grounded, emotional tone his stories took, even as a Master on the High Council. His story felt much more visceral compared to others, which appeals to me. Probably my favorite EU character.

Favorite duel?
As of now Mando vs the mudhorn
My favorite Star Wars duel would have to be The Battle of the Heroes:  Anakin Skywalker vs his once close friend...Obi-Wan Kenobi...A truely sad duel...  Especially after watching the Clone Wars.

Obviously Fox ;)
Anyway, in all seriousness, I do love all the clones. Rex, Cody, Boil, Waxer, Jesse, Fives, I could go on forever. If you are talking Jedi obviously Ashoka, Anakin, Obi, Shaak-ti, ect. My favorite sith is probably Maul, but that doesn't mean the others aren't awesome as well. Cad Bane and his who accompanying arc was pretty good

I'll stop now  ;D

I've been looking back over these past few months, and I've felt off. Felt different. At the time, I wanted nothing more than to go back to the good old days.
But now? Could I just ignore all the ways I've suffered and grown? Caught hold and let go? Could I return from life, having now lived?

Now it's time for a smol rant on Clone Wars order 66.

Spoiler
I don't like how Rex resisted it.  If we look back on Revenge of the Sith, Cody doesn't hesitate. Now obviously Rex wouldn't wanna kill Ahsoka, but that smol chip built in his genetic code should have worked as it did on Cody.  Eh, food for thought.

Remember that Rex at least had a vague idea of what the chip did, if not where it was or exact details. Such knowledge would likely aid him in resisting its affects. Additionally, Rex had a much closer relationship with his Jedi (Ahsoka especially, having literally just run a mission with her after not seeing her for months) than Cody. Yes, Cody and Kenobi were friends, but not at all in the same way that Rex was with Anakin and Ahsoka, so he would be less likely to hesitate (though, I believe he has some reservations in the Legends lore, but that tidbit is pre-chip).

Spoiler
I thought the clones that didn't participate in Order 66 removed their chips, and that was why they didn't participate, not because they resisted it?

"Understood." Will looked at Nico. "Will you be my buddy?"

Spoiler
Yeah, I think that was implied in Rebels.  Didn't Rex tell Kanan "I didn't betray my Jedi" or something?  I guess we have a soft retcon on our hands.
