I totally get that, and it isn't a huge deal... though I feel this arc suffers more of a shift and takes away from Grey and Styles more than the Ahsoka bit takes away from Ahsoka.

I am a huge fan of the Ahsoka book, But the siege of Mandalore was given very broad strokes since EK Johnston was told to do it that way... and the actual fight with Maul is treated as a dream.

Yeah there's issues with the Fulcrum handle, and so on, but most of the book is unaffected (though haters have really used TCW to discount Ahsoka, cause they seem to dislike it for whatever reason, and have given Johnston a hard time about it).

Here it feels a little more annoying. Ahsoka at the end of the day is Filoni's character more than anyone else. But Weisman really helped shape Kanan, and even was consulted for the big Kanan novel.

However, it's not like I don't get why it makes sense from a business perspective, and the idea that a sprawling canon like Star Wars can stay cohesive even 10 years after a massive reset... it's not going to happen.

But personally I could have done with less fanservice, and getting to see someone else. I also think having a clone help Kanan survive early on kinda hurts his arc with Rex. And yes Styles helps him here, but he doesn't see it... which works a lot better.

So I would have rather seen someone else. But what's done is done... I voice my opinion and move on, I'm not writing it after all.

But also I thought Prinze was hilariously miscast as young Caleb. He didn't sound like a kid at all... and that often doesn't bother me too much, but it just was way too much. It made me laugh watching Bilapa look down at this kid and hearing this surfer guy adult voice, just too funny.
