Bo-Katan Backstory Watch List for fans of The Mandalorian

If you're watching the Mandalorian but haven't watched Clone Wars and Rebels here's a list of episodes, with enough background information that you can jump right in: The Clone Wars

Season 2: Episodes 12, 13, 14 (runtime 66 minutes) Years ago, before The Phantom Menace, when Obiwan was a teen/young adult Mandalore fell into civil war and their leader, the Mandalore, was ultimately killed. His daughter, crown princess Satine, took the throne but not the title of Mandalore, instead calling herself Dutchess and instituting a new way, passifism. She banned wearing armor and carrying weapons. Moved everyone away from the old religion.

Those who wanted to defend the planet, the Protectors, went to Concord Dawn, those who wished to practice the old religion and keep weapons and armor went to the moon of Concordia. But in the old religion strength and glory in battle was everything, passifism and refusing to fight is the antithesis of that, what Mandalorians would consider almost satanic. So a terrorist group of religious zealots is trying to overthrow Satine and restore Mandalore to the old ways.

Season 5: Episodes 14, 15, 16 (runtime 66 minutes)

Darth Maul has survived, replacing the lower half of his body with a machine. Forsaken by Palpatine he seeks power, aided by a brother from his own world, Save Oppress, who was briefly trained by Count Dooku before being taken on by Maul as an apprentice. An alliance with the Mandalorians seeking to overthrow Satine gives Maul the chance to get what he wants most- power and to lore Obi Wan Kenobi into a trap so he may take revenge. 

Season 7: Episodes 9, 10 (runtime 44 minutes)

During the Clone Wars Anakin Skywalker took on an apprentice, Ahsoka Tano. Ahsoka left the Jedi order after she was framed for a crime she did not commit and had to prove her innocence on her own, while being hunted by the Jedi and Republic forces. Because the Jedi, aside from Anakin, did not trust her she grew disillusioned with the order and made her own way in the galaxy. The Jedi Order had become pawns in Palpatine’s war instead of keepers of peace, but Ahsoka still fights to help the people.

Now the Clone Wars draws to an end and Ahsoka has joined Bo-Katan to answer her plea for help. (The last three episodes of season 7: 9, 10 and 11 are like a companion peace to revenge of the Sith and worth watching).

But first Sabine will have to face her own past, including the family she fled

It’s weird to me how many places I’ve been/worked that have a strict ban on peanut products for allergen risks, even when no one there has a peanut allergy—yet imposes no restrictions for allergies that employees actively do have. Like you can’t have a peanut butter candy bar anywhere on the premises despite no one there being sensitive to it, but you CAN store your shellfish tree nut products in the staff fridge next to the lunch of the employee with a deathly allergy…

I'm a private instructor for kids between 6 and 18 with most of my small kids being middle schoolers. I'm the person you send your kids to when they just aren't quite getting it any other way.

I've been teaching small classes for summer school/tutoring all summer and today during a break I opened up some pop-tarts to snack on and my 4th grader just screamed: "IS THAT A BURRITO???"

Another kid chimed in with "Um, that's clearly a flatbread pizza??"

Long story short we ended up having a healthy discussion about it and decided that a pop-tart, is in fact, a ravioli.

Thank you for coming to our TEDTalk.

Y'know, I see a lot of posts urging people to comment on fics, so I just want to say, to all the people who do comment, and especially the long commenters:

thank you.

Long comments can be time-consuming. They can be difficult to write, but you leave them anyway!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone who comments.

You are the highlight of fanfiction writers' days.
