Mandalorian discussion[SPOILERS]

48 hours later and watching the episode at least 5 times, I'm still geeking out!!! LOL!!!

A couple more things I noticed:

• When Bo Katan is watching the monitor and sees a Jedi robed figure walking down the hall, you can see her hand slowly pull away sort of in disbelief.  That's a nice touch.
• Bo Katan got seriously injured by Moff Gideon.  She was limping as she got up from his attack.  That says to me that she's in no shape to challenge Din for the Darksaber right away.  I'm not yet convinced she will ever challenge him.  She may end up seeing him as one she'd like to throw support behind.

@Commander_Ney0Yeah so much goodness coming up for years!  And the MCU stuff starts up in January with WandaVision so they have me hooked there too lol!!

@UNL1M1T3D_P0W3R Better get that subscription fixed! lol

Obi-Wan "The Highground" Kenobi.

Luke "The Hallway" Skywalker.

At first I was thinking the same as you in regards to the ST, but I'm not so sure anymore. The now "Legends" material was likely to get thrust aside one way or the other even if Lucas did the ST. He never considered books hard canon. Anyone that wanted to do post ROTJ content would have a real problem working it in with the Legends books.

So what happens if they keep building post ROTJ content from here and get an entire universe going that fans are major attached to? What if at the same time they do nothing much in the ST era to reinforce any fandom there?

Do they shift everything to line up with the ST, even if it means trashing current fan favorites, storylines, and other things? I'm not so sure the answer is yes anymore.  @ToddyRocket1 may have just thrown down the best early prediction in SW history. lol

I wasn't talking about only the Legends material. I said; [...] "scraping a bunch of history from Star Wars."
Disney specifically didn't even use G.L's notes nor ideas which he left with them as potential things to work with. 
& I pointed out that new material such as Disney's Mandalorian censors Twi's without their original ears which were not Legends' material. 

No one has to trash anything. You don't need one or the other when you can have them all. E.G. If you don't like [Ahsoka] - Don't watch her show. Simple as that. Should she have her show canceled because you and 500 others don't like her? No. It's the same thing for any [character] and their Era/show. Disney could have done a lot better at making inclusive decisions. But it's currently doing better than it previously was.

You don't have to trash fan favorites, designs, and story-lines to ""match up to the ST"" when you can literally make up fractured dimensions that allow fans to enjoy something they want to regardless of if it's ""canon"" or not. Rey doing that whole mirror thing, Ezra visiting that Force Machine thing in space, there are materials there to work with to imply that multiple versions of stories could exist. Even just areas that are strong with the Force, such as the cave where Luke faced a version of himself dressed as Darth Vader - such locations could be vessels into mini dimensions/stories - or perceived mini/alternate dimensions. (Pretty sure even the Clone Wars could have used some Night Sister/JarJar voodoo to space-magic-up-some AUs too... Or you know the Mortis Gods that Anakin rejected could have this potential. ) 

@EA_Atic 

What an amazing episode that was.

Between Luke and the book of Boba Fett credit scene.

Just "Wow".

@DvveeboYeah they could do that. That's basically what I'm saying. I think if it came to that, they would push the ST out of canon or otherwise diverge the timeline somehow.  I didn't realize you were talking about George Lucas' ideas as well.  They did literally trash that.  By "trash" I was referring to forcing out of canon or otherwise halting story momentum to lineup with the ST.

Alternatively, they could deliberately just never get near the ST timeline. Lucasfilm has spent almost the past 20 years telling stories set between Attack of the Clones and A New Hope. They could treat the timeline between ROTJ and TFA the same way for another 2 or 3 decades lol.

Or as they get to the ST timeframe they could shift focus to areas of the galaxy the ST never showed us like Mandalore or Chiss space...

Some cool news recently.  Jon Favreau was on Good Morning America or one of the morning shows anyway.  He was talking about Book of Boba Fett:

• It is a new series separate from Mandalorian Season 3
• Temuera Morrison will continue as Boba Fett
• Ming-Na Wen will also star as Fennec Shand
• Robert Rodriguez will be executive producer
• Mandalorian Season 3 will begin filming after Book of Boba Fett is competed, so I'm guessing it might not arrive until early 2022.  He didn't say when Mando Season 3 will air.  Maybe the schedule is such they might air them both at the same time.

I also saw a headline that said Ming-Na Wen will voice Fennec Shand in the Bad Batch series.

Watched it for the sixth time and I'm still geeking out!!! lol  A couple more things I noticed:

• Love the line from Cara Dune after she fixes here gun in the elevator..."I think that did it...excuse me." lol  The tone in her voice was great.
• The Tie's launching was awesome.  Much improved over what we saw in Rebels.  The launch tube reminded me of Colonial Vipers launching in BSG.
• Speaking of BSG, both versions were famous for their made up cursing.  Cara throwing out SW curse words reminded me of that lol.
• The all female assault team was excellently done and made perfect sense for the story.  Yet another way Mandalorian upstages other content...this time the MCU's attempt at the same thing in Avengers Endgame.
• I noticed Gideon said "again" when referring to Bo Katan wielding the Darksaber.  It was as if he was implying the fact she could get a pass having it handed to her the first time by Sabine Wren, but not again.

And yes...I watched it a 7th time while typing this post 🙂
