This will be a discussion thread for The Mandalorian. Just for thoughts and predictions on the show, and stuff. If you want to talk about how cute Baby Yoda is, go ahead, if you want to talk about how pissed Temura Morrison looked when Boba Fett saw the Mandalorian with his armor, fine.
@ArchAngeL-PCX wrote:@Dvveebo Mandalorian happens way too early for there to be any ties to the sequel trilogy era or First Order. Mandalorian happens only 5 years after ROTJ. First Order rises to power much later as depicted in the novel Bloodlines. I'm not even sure Ben Solo has been born by the Mandlorian timeline. Interesting theories though.
SpoilerEzra might be the one to answer. Maybe he gives a clue to his and Thrawn's location. My guess is the Chiss Ascendancy. Then Mandalorian relays that to Ahsoka. I'm not sure at this point Ahsoka knows where Thrawn or Ezra are, so this happens before she and Sabine leave to find him.
Ah, same. So I went poking around to try and get a better understanding about the timeline.
I am so glad that Disney updated Empire Strikes Back
Just to fit in with there direction and story
@Dvveebo Good work on the timeline. So yeah the First Order had it's beginnings fairly early after the Empire was defeated, but wasn't all that powerful until around 20 years later. We may get a cameo of Ben Solo as an infant similar to how Kanan Jarrus was shown in Clone Wars Season 7 standing next to his master during a council meeting.
I don't think Ezra can time travel on his own. From the Rebels season 4 episode "World Between Worlds":
I do agree that Grogu and his potential age seems to cause some problems here. He would most certainly be alive during the sequel trilogy, but where? It again brings up the total inconsistency of the sequel trilogy and how it fits or really doesn't fit with much anything else. If Ezra does find Grogu, then is there a group of Jedi out in the unknown regions with Ezra? Maybe in Chiss space? And what about the Chiss? Did the First Order wipe them out?
I don't feel like the First Order, or maybe specifically the whole sequel trilogy, was ever a concept they truly thought out. Rise of Skywalker seems to reinforce that. I think the less it enters the picture the better lol.
I'm a little late but the one thing I haven't seen anyone mention is that the planet he was sent to, Tython, Is the place where Chelli Aphra beat Darth Vader in (sort of) one on one combat. While I doubt she will appear I desperately hope we will see some references to Rouges End.
I want to see the remains of BT-1 and 0-0-0 because lets face it, a live-action 0-0-0 is the second-best thing that could possibly happen. (the first being live action mister bones obviously.)
Ezra can’t actually time travel. He had access to a temple that had the capabilities to time travel, but since it got destroyed, he has the same time traveling abilities as any other character.
Kanan: "Before we knew Ezra we were drawn here... [...] We kept coming back. "
Hera: "Are you saying we were meant to come here...? Maybe to meet Ezra?"
Kanan: [...] "Something like that. But there's more to it. I'm just not sure what. "
Around when the wolves start showing up, and Kanan and Ezra interact with them, Ezra asks Kanan; "So all the paths are coming together right?"
Later when the show is ending, Ezra mentions that there were "several paths" in front of him, and the events that we the audience witnessed, transpired because Ezra did so out of obligation.
The symbolism is that the Mortis Bird represents beginnings, and through a means of various paths and events, Kanan eventually displays Jaig eyes on his mask. (Kanan might not be the actual beginning, but he could be the BRIDGE for BRIDGER to avoid certain DOOM.) If Ezra pieced together that he had to become someone else, and learned how to time travel from the wolf (Himself/ The Brothers' Creatures.) he would have had to teach himself through Kanan. And to teach Kanan through the Wolf. (Lots of; wolf in sheep's clothing.) Essentially self teaching himself in the absence of a father. (Which he could have had but chose to find his own family - his own way - his own path.)
There seems to be lots of Individualism versus collectivism themes in Star Wars.

What I took from the original Clone Wars animation was that Anakin thought he needed his hand to use the Force. (Though it's an older not-so-cannon-material.) This version of Anakin learned that the Force within him and his success didn't rely on his entire physical form. His mechanical hand wasn't a physical restriction to his *abilities*.
Ezra is shown by creatures that you can *travel* without a gate. (Both Purgills and Wolves do this.) The first time the wolves show this to Ezra they are underground, two Imperial bombers above them drop explosives on the surrounding mountains. The wolves indicate to the group of human/oids form a chain and to follow them. Then a wolfs paw can be seen being placed upon an invisible and water-like surface surrounded by darkness and stars.(Much like the area where Ezra finds all those view portals into time) Ezras eyes reflect the lights and patterns suggesting hyperspace travel. But this type of travel was preformed underground, with no perceivable exits, and no use of space flight. The travel was used locally to transport them to another area of the planets surface. ((You could claim that this is specific to Lothal, but it leaves out the fact that Purgills - a space wandering whale-like creature also make use of the same function - off world.))
So while Ezra did use a door to first become introduced to the concept himself, he may not strictly require an outside tool to use in the future - since other animals learned how to travel in a unique way, he could apply what they're teaching him, in a way that involves time, if he comes to learn that his power to open those pathways comes from within.
[...] "he has the same time traveling abilities as any other character. " And if all those other characters aren't aware of their ability to use time travel - how will they ever know to try it? Ezra has exposure to a concept; so he can hone it.
I saw a article that said they were removing jeans guy. didn't read it just saw the headline. dont know if its true or not ☹️
I dont know if this has been mentioned yet but I wonder if thrawn is going to be the "volunteer" they were talking about, trying to gain the force to get revenge on ezra. It would make sense considering how thrawn:alliances continuously mentions his curiosity of the force and how he sees it as a great advantage in combat.
