Last night was the season two finale and was an hour long.

Mods, can you fix that spoiler tag

Lots of old friends showed up, including one gate crasher that I am kinda fuzzy on the story.

Maul, Aka Darth Maul. Now I could distinctly remember that he was falling down a shaft, after Ben had cut him in half, avenging Liam Neeson. Now he shows up about 15 years later, and seems to be a whole individual. Now Disney and special effects can do wonders, but is this the original Maul, or is it the 2.0 from the clone wars.

_Clone Wars_ is considered canon, and _Rebels_ is a direct follow on from it (interrupted by _Revenge of the Sith_). Characters who appear in both are the same character. This is the same Darth Maul from the _Clone Wars_ cartoon, who went through a bit of a crisis and now has robotic legs, which was all detailed in that show (and was based on what was written in other media, comics and such), and who was also in _Phantom Menace_.

For the most part, anything that happens in these animated shows will not affect the movies, but they are based on ideas that are consistent with the movies. And there’s a tiny part of us who wish that _Rogue One_, set in the same era as _Rebels_ - about five years after I think - will tie in directly with it somehow, with a crossover character or something.

Yeah, if you didn’t see Clone Wars than I can understand your confusion.

I am just about at season 5 for clone wars, problem is that the DVD’s are not in order for air dates.

When Ashoka lit up her lightsabers, I knew there was only one way that would end.
