To the extent he was ever actually physically on Chopper Base, he's presumably still there. But I wouldn't call what he's doing "chilling". He might call it that, but he's not. He's extremely unchill and mad about it.

The scene of Gideon on the bridge when they're in hyperspace looked weird. I think the two stormtroopers were part of the CGI background.

I do have to wonder why Boba Fett is sticking around. How exactly is he in Mando's debt? All Mando did was take his armour and act like a dick about whether Fett was Mandalorian or not. Giving it back to him doesn't seem like a big enough gesture to justify teaming up with Mando to save the kid, especially when Fett had to steal it back anyways.

Definitely Alive:
Luke Skywalker
Leia Organa? (going through training to become Almost A Jedi at some unspecified point between the events of the OT and ST)
Ashoka Tano (technically "not a Jedi" but she's basically All But Dissertation)

Canonically Not Explicitly Killed Off:
Ezra Bridger (space whale lost in wild space adventures)
Cal Kestis

That legit exists, Star Wars Underground. Uh, I heard about it from my pastor so I could stay away from it.

I kinda hope a new Jedi, and it's who smuggled Grogu out if the temple. I'm not opposed to it being based on an EU Jedi, but there had to be more than the half dozen we know survived the order 66. Either they realized the battle at the temple was hopeless and hosed off or they were either able to evaid or fight off their clones. Or maybe we could get Shaak-Ti. She has never had an on screen death, both were cut from the revenge of the Sith.

To bad Kit Fisto went out like a punk, he'd be fun.

It's either gonna be Sebastian Stan as a mid-20's Luke Skywalker rebuilding the Jedi Order, or we're gonna see live action Ezra Bridger. I mean, why else would they have mentioned Thrawn? Thrawn and Bridger are a packaged deal at this point if either of them are going to reappear.

Just watched the Inhibitor Chip Conspiracy arc of Clone Wars and it's surprisingly good given the constraints of (1) having to show unique personalities of literal clones (2) a cartoon for children and (3) cannot contradict RotS canon.

There was a shot that was particularly artful in the first episode of the arc where super battledroids had breached a shuttle and one clone officer is in cover weightless waiting to futilely ambush them as they pass. The way the camera is kind of stuck in the corner with him really sells the terror and doomed claustrophobia.

It's also entirely possible that Grogu was communing with dead Jedi from the netherworld of the Force. 5 straw pennies says Filoni and Favreau are gonna pull out some crazy bullshit and get Liam Neeson, Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, Ewan McGregor or Frank Oz as Yoda to make an appearance.

Or maybe it'll be a swerve and it'll be Plo Koon or Aayla Secura or Yarael Poof or Kit Fisto.

He was in the middle of making a deal: if Fett gets the armour, the kid stays safe. Fett got the armour, but the kid isn’t safe. Until the kid is safe, Fett hasn’t held up his end of the bargain.

Yeah Order 66 + Temple sneak attack was about as thorough as you could get in a galaxy of thousands of planets, but presumably there were a bunch doing agricultural advisor outreach, monastic solitude, exploring Wildspace, whatever. That's what Vader and the Inquisitors are for, but the very existence of an anti-Jedi Gestapo implies the existence of a fair few surviving Jedi.

Cartoon Man posted:

Eh, it's a galaxy of thousands of inhabited planets and quadrillions of beings. A Jedi can only do so much against poo poo like massed fleets, giant troop formations, orbital bombardment, or, as Order 66 shows us overwhelming fire from surprise.

Unlike the old Legends days, the novels are of the exact same "level" of canonicity as the films and shows. Really, the only modern Disney Story Group canon story you could argue doesn't "count" would be Rise of Skywalker, since the Story Group was not allowed to work on that one.

It’s canon until it gets in the way of something a higher priority project wants to do. They can say otherwise, but nobody’s gonna constrain Disney+’s flagship show because of a book nobody read.

It's amazing what happens when you give the reigns to someone who clearly adores the property, but also tells unique stories and understands you can't just recycle and soft reboot EVERYTHING and you have to draw from the inspiration sources (samurais and cowboys and poo poo) instead of just oroboros Star Wars constantly referencing Star Wars.

In one of the behind the scenes things for season one, Favreau (or maybe it was Filoni), said that when making this show, they didn't want to be inspired by Star Wars, they wanted to be inspired by the things that inspired George when he was making Star Wars.

Just let it shine through
Whoever it is, it's going to be someone that fans recognize because they are 100% going to have either a hooded figure reveal themselves or a lightsaber ignite right when someone is about to get got.

I think the most obvious answer is Luke Skywalker but that kinda ends the Grogu adventures if he just takes the baby away to be trained (and later slaughtered by the Knights of Ren). Mace Windu or Cal Kestis work by recognition and uber-nerds would probably safely guess Ezra Bridger in live action.
