The star tours content is noncanonical. Incidentally the "storyline" of Galaxy's Edge is apparently going to be a canon thing though.

Don't worry, the prototype Death Star from the Maw Installation isn't canonical, so any Death Star they do add (if they do) will only be the third.

What about Starkiller base?

Apparently you can be arrested by the First Order if you follow the Resistance story line at it.

The Mandalorian takes place before TFA so it is the third Death Star.

This rules, but the prevailing rumor is that it’s not IG-88, just another IG-Series droid.

Collider is saying it's IG-88, but they might have just got that from that tweet.

Is it racist to think that all droids that look alike are in fact the same droid?

How do we know that he's the same Artoo after all those experiences?

Droid of Theseus. There's an astromech in a heap somewhere beeping faintly that he's the real R2-D2.

There's been some Episode IX content leaked. If you care about spoilers or potato quality scans of posters and character art, exercise caution on Twitter.

You should know there's almost nothing there. They've been really good about no leaks this time around, aside from side costume screen tests images leaking in terrible quality, and now a potential poster (though still no title).

The poster shows an X-Wing, an A-Wing, a Y-Wing, and a new TIE Interceptor with triangle wings that, IIRC, is straight out of the TFA art book

It's a mash of styles and chopped together photoshoots, but it is largely new content so it's almost certainly legit. It'll almost certain ly be the kind of thing that gets shared with partners to aid in visualisation

Or it’s the type of poster that’s given away to attendees at Celebration. I’m pretty sure it’s real in some respect.

The larger versions show a real mishmash of lighting and styles and some super dodgy shopping. I'd put down some £ that if that sees public release then this is an early mockup

Does The Resistance series get any better over time? Like someone mentioned, the progatonist's clumsiness is wearing really thin on me. When the 4th episode starts with the protagonist tripping on something... It just makes me want to switch off. There isn't really anything intriguing in general either. I know it's a kids' show but it's such a snorefest in general so far. Rebels was much better in this regard somehow. I haven't really bothered with Clone Wars even though I know there are some great episodes mixed in. I know it's considered superior to Rebels overall.

The best thing about The Resistance so far is that you can tell some static scenes or CGI areas are clearly strongly directed by the original concept art and stuff looks pretty nice in that regard occasionally.

Remember Resistance is made for kids, so Kaz being a goofus is intentional, because kids love that poo poo. But yea you could easily just skip over a lot of episodes if you want more cool First Order and Resistance stuff.

Yeah, I'm usually not one to like the "Just watch these episodes" lists, but since this series is already aimed at a younger audience I'll let that pass since it can sometimes be tough. Here's my suggested watch list to get the main points of the season:

Episode 1/2: The Recruit - Series Intro
Episode 3: The Triple Dark - Introduces a new faction taking part
Episode 5: The High Tower - Sets up the First Order's plans
Episode 6: The Children from Tehar - Sets up one of the season arcs
Episode 7: Signal from Sector Six - Intros one of the new main cast members
Episode 8: Synara's Score - More with the new cast member
Episode 10: Secrets and Holograms - Builds Kaz more and features a reveal about one of the characters
Episode 11: Station Theta Black - Can probably skip this, but it's a Poe episode
Episode 14: The Doza Dilemma - Big payoff to one of the season arcs
Episode 15: The First Order Occupation - Fallout from the previous episode
Episode 17-21: Final arc for the season

Cuts out 5, possibly 6, episodes.

It's pretty much SOP for a new streaming service to renew their centerpiece show before the service goes live. CBSAA renewed STD, DCU renewed Titans etc.

To me there's also the layer that anything Star Wars seems like a license to print money between the money the show makes, toys, etc. I'd give all my Star Wars shows a solid 4-5 season run minimum, that way you've gotten that merch money and you have a nice set of content to market around. Eventually one of them will be utterly horrible, probably one of the live action shows if they keep going that route with that being more complicated than animation and less aimed at kids, and Disney have been surprisingly skittish from my perspective when things go bad (slowing down or outright cancelling some spinoff movies after Solo didn't do great), but until then unless you're intentionally trying to make some wild anthology series like an Obi-Wan 8-10 episode thing I'd definitely be in immediate renewal mode.

Printing star wars money requires spending disney money. This isn't your usual bums in seats type deal, it could go balls up financially for them. In theory

Renewal announcement timing is interesting to me. Given the lead time that’s necessary to create these shows, the studios have to be working on them far in advance of the renewal announcement. Just look at all the stuff that had been created for multiple future season of Clone Wars when that was canceled after season 5.
