Thanks! It sounded like KotOR but I've just couldn't be bothered to verify this and I have a terrible music memory.

Those are pretty good news; to see someone with actual great TV experience like The Americans showrunning Cassian's show sounds great. Also, so far the cast of The Mandalorian looks pretty good, though I need an official announcement with the whole cast

So do you think the merchant in this episode is a Bothan?

it is interesting that Dozer is an ex-imperial officer I wonder how this will play off with TFO plot and Yeeger being an old Rebel pilot

It is.

And yeah re: Resistance, I can't imagine why that wouldn't be a Bothan.

And there's our "Kaz being an actual, successful spy" quota filled for a while. Also lol Torra's dad is a war criminal; there's totally going to be some drama with Yeager given that they've established a working relationship between the two

Oh man, I really hope this is true. (Spoilered Mandaboo poo poo about that article, just to be safe) Not so much the "heir/savior of Mandalore" angle, even if it would be kind of cool to see them do that sort of multi-media worldbuilding. But as someone who was adopted at a pretty young age and spent quite a few years struggling with finding some sense of cultural identity, I've always thought that one of the coolest things about Mandalorians beneath all of the blind Boba worship and armor is (at least in the Legends canon) how they view the concept of family as more of an earned relationship than something you are just born into by default. Where they see no difference between taking in a child as your own and having one the "proper" way, because as far as they're concerned, the years you spend raising them from that point on are far more important.

So having the show really delve into something like that as a way to dodge the obvious trap of trying to just make a new Boba Fett tough guy bounty hunter would make me genuinely excited. Having a protagonist who is forced to suddenly grapple with that responsibility, but in a way where he actually cares and isn't just a generically stoic/snarky badass reluctantly accepting the baby as a burden? God, I'm ~all about that~. :allears:

Today's Resistance: Looks like they recast Leia finally, Carolyn Hennesy is listed in the credits for the role, replacing Rachel Butera. I believe this might be Carolyn's first try at Leia, while she does have other voice work, it doesn't look like she has an SW VO credits.

Today's ep had a bit too much running back and forth down corridors - feels like we got enough of that from the freighter episode - but it almost was retroactively made worth it by Leia hinting at the New Republic Senate's corruption via the arms trade. Keep that world-building coming.

I liked that idea and Kaz admitting that his father is not gonna side with the Resistance any way. I hope we move closer to the post TFA setting or focus on more racing stuff, because the whole "sure seems like the FO is ready for something big" is gonna get old soon

It won’t be an issue for long. Justin Ridge said the show reaches TFA by the end of this season, and we’re already at the halfway point.

Catching up on a few episodes of Resistance I missed, and I gotta say, I really love the design of all the pirates in Synara's Score. The one with the bandolier made out of old imperial rank placards is particularly great. Oh and Yeager quoting Air Force One.
