Just finished Ahsoka. Decent story, it is more about why she can't back, I was hoping for a little more into the time when she left. I did learn about red light sabers in this book, so that was cool. And Ahsoka remains one of my favorite characters

Yes but make sure you are familiar with why she left the Jedi in the first place

Is that covered more in Clone Wars or Rebels?

I'm 100% finishing Rebels. But I might just jump around on TCW unless I have to watch it all.

A lot of her padwan stuff is in clone wars. Will have to ask someone else about her self imposed exile, as I didn't watch all of clone wars yet.

That's handled in two episodes and they're well worth watching as they show the maturation of her character and her decision to leave but also shows the total blindness of the Jedi at this point in the story, tying into the prequels perfectly.

They're really really good episodes I think. Hubris and blindness of the council being the second plot point of the arc.

Ahsoka may be the most badass character in the SW Universe. At least of non-dark side characters. I absolutely love her character.

I'm a big fan as well. At first she was just ok, but as the Clone Wars series went on, she became a remarkable character.

No not really. It ties things into her return to the rebellion pretty much.

I didn't realise the dark disciple book was developed from the unused Assajj Ventress arc that was to go into clone wars.

I'm about 40% through and she's a brilliant character and so well written. And the story is that dark underbelly of Star Wars we always wanted to see. Could totally see a tv series explore this part of the world really successfully

Quinlan voss was always a nonentity to me but I'm really enjoying him in this too.
