I've never seen any of the animated Star Wars, just bits and pieces. I've seen names tossed around during discussions here and elsewhere, so I caught the Ahsoka Tano name drop, and I remember some of y'all mentioning that there are different "factions" (for lack of a better word) of Mandalorians, at least some of whom don't have a problem taking their masks off. So that was interesting. And yet, as the episode was unfolding, I never felt like I was missing anything. The show gave me what I needed to know to understand what's going on, while at the same time, people more familiar with the backstories would get more out of it. That's fine, too. That's their reward for being up on all things Star Wars.
