Resistance just pushes too far in the kid direction for me, personally.

I watched the first couple episodes of Resistance and that was my takeaway too. It just felt like in every episode the main character was supposed to learn a very important lesson about sharing. Which is fine, just not what I was into at the time.

They should've cut that entire scene out of Rogue One. Vader showing up with zero warning to wreck fools at Scarif would've been amazing.

Every word you just said is :wrong:

Nah. Rebels is first and foremost Ezra's story (and the rest of the crew of the Ghost to a lesser extent), not Ashoka or Rex's. You don't have to know clone wars to appreciate that, and honestly, Rebels would be a failure if you did.

If I’m being completely honest, the III-IV and IV-V gaps are completely tapped out for me. I’m so glad the comics have finally expanded to the post-ESB era and the books are headed to pre-TPM times, but can we please please please finally dig into the 30ish year gap between ROTJ and TFA? All we’ve gotten so far are a handful of books and the Battlefront campaign.

So more Mandalorian then?

I'd say it's more likely we'll get Ms. Marvel before Hawkeye, since there's a trailer of Ms. Marvel, and while it is mostly the crew talking about why they like the character and the actress who'll play her reacting to news she got the part there are snippets of actual filmed content in the trailer, like her talking to her father at the dinner table, her in her room with a poster of Carol or her talking with a friend in front of what seems to be an early costume she cobbled together and then talking to the same friend on a rooftop. It's only ever a few seconds of content, and not a full trailer by any stretch, but considering all we have of Hawkeye is casting and some set photos it seems like Ms. Marvel is definitively further along in the process.

That's entirely possible, but Hawkeye feels like a show they can produce much faster than Ms. Marvel because the vfx work is going to mostly be animating arrows into shots and not embiggening the main character. I think they did that sizzle reel for Ms. Marvel because she's less of a known quantity than Hawkeye and it lets them talk up the diversity of their line up more.

Were the Han Solo novels based on the West End Games books or did they predate those? I love the poo poo out of those books, Han and Chewie up against the Corporate Sector Authority, never quite getting that big score.

Though at one point Han does blow a building almost into orbit, which totally seems like a thing he would do. Anyway, Bollux and Blue Max are among the great Star Wars droids for me, keep hoping they’ll make it into a show somehow.

Back in the run up to Solo, Ben Lindbergh at The Ringer wrote an appreciation of Brian Daley and his Solo trilogy, and how formative they were to the later Star Wars canon.

There was a rumor we might get space Raylan Givens with his own show but the Empire magazine about book of boba Fett has KK saying New Republic Rangers is cancelled for now with most of the story elements likely to be folded into other shows like Mando season 3.

I suspect if Tim Olyphant actually wanted to do a Marshall Raygun Givens show Lucasfilms would fall over themselves to make it happen.

Luke was told not to leave training to save his friends, and he did anyway and saved the hell out of them.

The funny thing is, Yoda was absolutely right, Luke going to Bespin was a terrible mistake (beyond learning the truth about who Vader is) and the end result is he loses his hand and his friends have to rescue him. The point there is Luke was behaving like his father, he had a vision that his friends were in danger and ran off to help them without stopping to think, just like Anakin and his visions of Padme's death.

Apparently Maul was supposed to be in the Obi-Wan series before story changes.

Apparently Filoni was one of the guys who suggested changing Maul to Vader, so I wonder if part of that was to prevent his story from being wiped out.

There might be some of that going on, but honestly, his suggestions just sound like a better story. I mean, can you imagine if they tried to fob off Obi-Wan Lone Wolf & Cub'ing it with Luke after Mando did the same drat thing?

Beyond that it'd be kind of weird that older Luke apparently had no recollection of the galaxy-tripping adventure he had with Ben Kenobi in A New Hope. Luke seemed to know about "Old Ben" but didn't seem to actually know him.

I mean, you could spin it as obi-wan took a really circuitous route to bring baby Luke to Tatooine, but otherwise yeah.

I am kind of curious if Filoni could potentially work his magic on the sequel trilogy like he did with the prequels if given the opportunity (Resistance was mediocre at best but to be fair they basically only had one movie to work with)

Isn't that what they're already very low key doing with Mando and Moff Gideon's whole deal?

Who is feeding Obi-Wan's space camel on Tatooine is what I really want to know :ohdear:

The head writer of the show went on the Ringerverse House of R podcast after episode 4 came out and that was one of the questions they asked him. And his response was that Obi-Wan left it a lot of food, and as a desert dweller it can go a long time between feeding.

I haven't read the full review yet, but "it's not tv it's a x hour long movie" is one of Sepinwall's biggest bugbears, so it makes sense that he wouldn't vibe with the show.
