He's literally doing this:

Wally giving vibes like he’s the protagonist looking out the bus window at the rain as all he knows rolls steadily away

"The Jedi of this era were different," Cal says.

Shinier, BD offers.

"Very golden," Cal adds.

And blue, BD says. Like the sun and the sky.

"I like it." Cal can't quite keep the melancholy out of his voice, the feeling of loss every ruin on Koboh inspires. "I don't remember seeing anywhere in the Temple on Coruscant like this. The Jedi in my time were more... cream and brown. Like how Master Cordova dresses."

BD is sure it suited Cal very well.

"Can you imagine me wearing the kinds of robes Dagan wears?"

This has BD laughing so much he almost falls off Cal's shoulders.

Boosting BD back into place, Cal raises his head, takes in the vastness of this old chamber. "This place is beautiful," he says.

Even if it's slowly being swallowed by nature.

big red horse sounds like something out of my nightmares but kind of cute in art form

The first run was five hardbacks of progressively increasing girth. The stack is hefty, but the books are comfortable. Each chapter has chapter art too, which I consider a plus in all fantasy books.

I still think the 5-volume split was the best option.  It’s a big damn story.

Original Fallout Equestria was written by someone known as Kkat who I’m 90% sure is a woman and the story only has some PG-13ish scenes at worst (you know, aside from the violence and gore that comes with a Fallout setting.) Project Horizons was written by a guy known as Somber, who I remember him mentioning in the post-chapter notes that he got fired for failing the wrong student once and the fic itself includes multiple explicit sex scenes.

Now, I’m sure most of you know Clone Wars, the 3D Animated series set between Attack of the Clones (released in 2002) and Revenge of the Sith (released in 2005) that aired starting in 2008 starring…

…Master Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano.

While it was considered by many (including myself) to be a great series that combined action and drama (and its spin-off The Bad Batch and sequel Rebels did more of the same), it suffers in the same way Episodes I – III do: It’s a prequel (in The Clone Wars’s case, to Episode III) that you know has to end a certain way to fit the existing narrative. Granted it did it in a way that didn’t diminish the story (unlike the way Episode III and Rogue One did by shoehorning the needed ending in awkwardly)

However, this was the second series that dealt with the time between the end of Episode II and the beginning of Episode III

The first came out shortly after Episode II left theaters and ended just before Episode III premiered.

Clone Wars was animated by the same studio that made Samurai Jack (and it shows) and followed the adventures of…

…Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan (later fellow Master) Anakin Skywalker.

The series was done in 5-minute “mini-sodes” on Cartoon Network for 2 seasons and was considered canon (until Disney bought Lucasfilm) and was the first footage featuring…

…General Grievous (though sadly they don’t explain why a droid has a nagging cough; what is it about the Star Wars universe and cyborgs with breathing issues?)

As the series was designed to chronicle the events leading up to a movie that hadn’t been released yet, the series ends just before the events of Episode III.

While the series’ narrative is compelling and the action is breathtaking (if a bit overwhelming at times), the dialogue is at times just as awkward as the films it’s sandwiched between. Also, given the episodes are only 5 minutes long, it’s not as engaging as the 2008 series.
