Watching in chronological order barely changes anything and doesn't add to the show at all in my opinion.

You're just in time. Bayble Cuber's going to watch an inkle dribble adventure from days of old on my holo-pyramid viewer.

Really? Because it adds a lot of context.

It doesn't make sense that there are like...four episodes spread over two seasons of TCW where Anakin and Obi-Wan are on Christophsis, and none of them are in order unless you watch them chronologically and they take place before Ahsoka's introduction.

The out of order stuff is dumb but it goes away once you get through the early parts of season 3. After that the only out of order episode you have is the season 5 intro.

It wasn't a matter or airing order, it was a matter of production. The first half of Season 3 really was more of an after-thought, designed to fill in gaps, but the earlier out-of-order stuff was largely due to the lack of assets, and technology and experience to do them in chronological order. "Cat and Mouse" which is chronologically the first episode, had to pull-off a cloaking-field effect, and they had to create Trech's model for it, both of which exceeded the shows limits at the start of Season 1. The chronologically second episode "Hidden Enemy" had a twist, that Filoni claimed the crew didn't feel ready do at the start of first season, so they pushed it back.

Also a slight adjustment to the official chronological order: Put the Geonosis-arc (2x04-08) right after the Ryloth-arc (1x19-21), "Bounty Hunters" (2X17) before "Holocron Heist" (2x01), and "Lightsaber Lost" (2x11) before "Griveous Intrigue" (2x09). There're small moments that make the narrative flow much better this way, for example in "Griveous Intrigue" Ahsoka is shown in the company of a Jedi master and a couple of younglings, whom she was introduced to in "Lightsaber Lost", yet the official order claims "Lightsaber Lost" comes later...Yeah Leeland Chee, who put the thing together pretty much admitted it, that he payed no attention to details...

I know that during season 1, the only episodes I found really good were the ones featuring other prominent jedis - Ki-Adi Mundi (not sure if he was in S1), Aayla Secura...

The supporting Jedi who get episodes devoted to them in Season 1 are (in order), Yoda, Plo Koon, Luminara Unduli, Kit Fisto, and Aayla Secura.

I wasn't a huge fan of the Malevolence arc but I thought the Plo Koon and Clones episode was good.

Plo helps elevate any episode he's in, in my opinion.

The Mystery of Chopper Base. RIP A LOT of people.

"Call me Old Master" TotA could be referring to Ezra. Not likely, but keeping all options on the table.

I am concerned for multiple characters well-being. Mostly because of Chopper evil grin I'd like to learn about him... a little bit... If that ends up what the episode is about.

Definitely ominous. I mean, "Chopper Base?" Why am I getting Darths And Droids vibes.

Okay.

I'm guessing The Honorable Ones will involve the Jedi Guards we saw in the trailer. Shroud of Darkness could be Maul's first appearance. The finale two parter will probably involve Ahsoka fighting Vader and Ezra succumbing to the Dark Side.

Homecoming is probably the Twi-lek episode. That's exciting grin

Ahsoka dying and Ezra going all dark-side would be a total Downer Ending for the season.

"Twilight of the Apprentice" probably does not refer to Ahsoka at all. "Twilight" is not a metaphor applied to someone who is violently killed. It's a quiet, peaceful process of fading. An older person is said to be in their twilight years.

However, it is also the changing of day into night; light into dark. Definitely about Ezra.

Someone needs to do Brother Bear, except with Hera and a space whale.

@Kostya, "The Honorable Ones" is actually the Zeb/Kallus Enemy Mine episode from the trailer.
