https://youtu.be/dQKs6U8eWoQStar Wars is the story about Ahsoka Tano and her growth as a force user. Her story became so popular that a variety of spin off series set in the same universe, also referred to as Star Wars, was created.

Outright Genocide tends to cause bad publicity, which would hurt the CIS cause elsewhere. I would not be fond of a government that is ostensibly founded on self-determination started a genocide of people that wanted to self-determine.
Also a lot of Onderon was pro-Separatist.
Also, Also. He was aware that Palps was playing both sides, being a Sith and all. What would he care if Onderon broke free of the CIS? He was on the winning side, no matter what(until he wasn't).
Know what would fix that?
A good ol’ round of talking about Ahsoka Tano telling the Jedi to go fuck themselves and being 100% right.
This is easily one of my top 5 favorite Star Wars moments.
The Jedi have never cared if someone left the Order, although that's mainly because almost no one ever does. Count Dooku was a Jedi Master and he left, and IIRC in AotC they talk about he's one of like less that a dozen folks who have ever left the Order in a thousand years.
Membership isn’t really mandatory, for adults anyway. They know other force users exist and usually let them be if they don’t want to join, so long as they aren’t harming others.
Is she the best one ever?
Darth Vader being Luke's father was a pretty good one.
Yes.
I have no bias in this.
I certainly remember back in 2008 thinking "oh no this is going to be so tonally dissonant with Episode Three" and in the end, they leant into that to great effect.
How was she retcon'd? Just that she existed?
Tano-related spoilers:
However it could be argued...
I'm maintaining that The Mandalorian is Favreau petitioning to replace Kennedy, and have him and Filoni be a more hands on version of Feige (hands on being actually directing and shooting content, not just managing things).
So these were probably done for the new season for this me and budget reasons? Or maybe just really likes the bad batch. They're getting a spin off after all. (Monkey paw, I guess)
Maul Vs Ahsoka was done with Ray Park and Lauren Mary Kim for real which is one of the reasons it looks so good

I just watched Rebels for the first time over the last couple of weeks.
It starts off pretty rough/juvenile but it's absolutely worth seeing it through to the end.
I've yet to delve into Clone Wars but having seen all of Rebels I'm amazed I made it through the front half of season 1 on a week to week basis.
It's worth it now because it one hundred percent pays out and it's possible to binge or skip a little if it's crushing you.
Come Overwatch with meeeee

Ok, seriously, the end of S2 was just badass. And Vader is just ... I mean damn. I guess I'm gonna have to watch Clone Wars after this.
The thing that constantly sticks out to me is that the visual style is relatively simplistic (not bad, just very clean and simple) in order to reduce animation costs, but then the mouths are hyper-animated. It's almost like all the character models are just there to carry around the lower half of the face, which is the center of attention for what feels like every posture and movement. It beats the characters flapping their mouths like muppets, but it's an odd thing to focus character animation and movement on.
But the lack of flowy robes is for a couple reasons. One, this is shortly before the OT and thus there are basically no Jedi and definitely nobody dresses as one. Two, both Clone Wars and Rebels are heavily designed around trying to keep rendering costs down and simulating cloth either takes time to animate or time to render the physics. In both series, most clothing is just a texture; there's also rarely consistency on what looks like cloth and what acts like cloth. Armor will bend just like cloth, they just try to keep armor off joints and whatnot to make it less obvious.
His incredibly conservative, minimalist fighting style is terrifying.
It's Vader. Everything about him is terrifying. Even his dad jokes.
(see also his appearance in JFO, set during the same period, where he is the Implacable Slow-Walking Slasher Villain.)
Vader “Then you will die braver than most.”
*Ezra eats shit then winces in fear*
Vader “...perhaps I was wrong.”
