Not many as I was more a He-Man chap, but I had a few. I had one of Jabba's bodyguards, green piglike things. Very cool! I take it no Ewoks? I love Jabbas bodyguards. Something so memorable and striking about those ones. Also, to nerd out, iirc the only time we've seen a light side force user use a force choke was when Luke force choked those bodyguards? Which I think is relevant to Mando because Baby Yoda was force choking the Storm Troopers, which is normally associated with Dark Side.

He wasn't given fuck all to work with in AOTC, and to a lesser extent ROTS. Super excited for Kenobi and Andor. The Acolyte intrigues me as it covers an era we don't have any real cannon material on. I'm normally not into the animated stuff, but if Lando has Donald Glover voicing him I'm looking forward to that also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think starwars works best when it’s for children, so I hope that movie focuses on that. 13 minutes ago, Powerage5 said: I'm perfectly happy to give Hayden another chance if he can work with good source material.

There is no one more cynical on Disney's Star Wars offerings than me, however The Mandalorian is extremely good - it certainly surprised me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see the actual announcement but on the Star Wars subreddit they’re saying it’s animated. If it is indeed live action then I really hope Donal Glover reprises the role, he absolutely nailed Lando in Solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Solo and Rogue One, so was confident in the ambitious one film per year trip. I think they got this on lock! They put out a lot of novels, and I like them And that comes down to being rooted 'in universe.' So two new projects are in the Mando world. One (or two?) are rooted in Clone Wars. One in Solo. My point being that a lot of the ground work is done. Time to tell some more stories in these established worlds. Solo was left with setups for a sequel, Im hoping they will address those in Lando! Those very new ones could be more a risk. But their intrigue is also their newness.

Im even more pumped for it now, as a film. This has so much potential to be great. So, things are slowly sinking in and I realized that there was no mention of the Boba miniseries? I figure that Rangers of the New Republic might be that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people are guessing that Rangers is that show, and that it’s also the Cara & Bo show that was rumored. I guess all three of them become “Rangers” (whatever that is).

Yeah, what it a ranger? Maybe special forces? Or is that too much like Bad Batch? Or maybe the New Republic, as advised by Blues approach so far, will give their team greater autonomy and less oversight than other New Republic operatives? I heard someone point out that Kennedy never made a clear statement that "Mando season 3 starts Christmas 2021" but instead said the next chapter. I guess the next chapter of the Mando world could also mean either spin off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 New episode is fantastic!! Fennec and Mansfield carried a lot and it was all cool. I continue to love the exploration of the New Republic as simply the 'new boss.' I like Fennecs costuming and aura. She kinda slides in as powerful peoples equal very quickly and seamlessly... its interesting. I dont understand why Mando and Mansfield didnt have any comms with Fennec and co during the mission? In OT they had comms in such missions. I am starting to wonder if online speculation is right that Mando himself will fade from the stories as all these other characters move forward. Spoiler Especially since we've now seen Mandos face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Okay, so legends Rogue Squadron has Luke, Wedge, Thrawn and a Solo chick. WHAT??? Some of the story sounds a lot like the current Alphabet Squadron trilogy novels. X wing pilots cleaning up loose ends after the fall of the Empire, Imperial defectors, an uneasy connection to their hierarchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Do you think Poe and Rey might be in the squadron? Or any of the sequel cast involved? Or by new generation, does that imply that all new cast?

They haven’t specified exactly what year it takes place in yet, or whether or not “new generation” means the sequel era or a “sequel-sequel” era. I’m sure we will find out all those answers soon enough tho! I’d definitely like to see the ST characters again someday. Idk if this is the right place for it tho. We might need to wait a bit longer for that sorta thing. If anything, it’d be cool if Jenkins casted Gal Gadot and/or Chris Pine in this, since she seems to like working with both of them a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
