Episode 78: Tales of the Jedi (Ahsoka’s Tale)

In another glorious stroke of in-universe chronology meeting up with the Star Wars release schedule, we got to watch Tales of the Jedi (Ahsoka’s Tale) this week!

We recapped Chapters 1, 5 and 6 (“Life and Death,” “Practice Makes Perfect,” and “Resolve”) and cried a LOT.

In our discussion, we talked about how these episodes give Ahsoka a natural continuation of the Martez Sisters arc from S7 of The Clone Wars — and Sam teases where she’s going next. We also talk about Inquisitors, what makes Ahsoka a hero, Pav-ti giving really good mom-wisdom, raising a Force-sensitive baby, and discuss the criticism of “Resolve” (potentially) erasing an Ahsoka love interest.

Next…we’re taking a hiatus! Now that Growing Up Skywalker has concluded Phase 1 of our chronological watch-through, we’re putting the show on hold until January 10, because we’re busy moving in together (!!!). We’ll be back in your earbuds in January with our review of “Aftermath,” the Bad Batch S1 pilot.
