@canefan Ahsoka hinting Thrawn could be its own series
this is nine or ten years after we saw them in Rebels, I want to know what they've been doing...they've set so much up
another thing, the "Ghost" was in the big fleet in Rise of Skywalker, so its still being flown 20 whatever years later, still by the same crew?

I saw a thing today discusing Filoni saying that the Ashoka Rebels ending may have been after we see her in Mandalorian, so it may not be as lined up as we think. As least that prologue could have been later that we think.

@Kirwan really? cant get my head around that, do you happen to have a link? might have to go back and watch the last episode again

Ahsoka's Mandalorian Episode May Take Place Before Star Wars Rebels' Finale, Teases Director
"The Jedi" could be set before Rebels' last scene.

@Rancid-Schnitzel yeah, I think a solo movie was number one of the list (maybe toss up between that and obiwan) or spin offs people wanted as far as I saw
All I know is that the response to Solo was less than lukewarm while the announcement of the Mandalorian resulted in millions upon millions of throbbing horns. But obviously Solo wasn’t helped by the abomination that was TLJ and the subsequent comments by Rian Johnson et al.
Ultimately people just wanted a good story with good characters. Mando has delivered where the sequel trilogy failed miserably.

@Rancid-Schnitzel yeah, it wasn't received well but I saw a lot of excitement when announced...up until all the drama during production
it has like a 69% score so far from a flop, especially compared to the RoS...now idea how LJ scores so well

I actually enjoyed the film. Bad juju from the trilogy and probably oversaturation of SW films at the time along with weird release time worked against it. But there were some good scenes
-
Solo was a good film, not great and had creaky moments, but it was fine. @Kiwiwomble is right, there was a lot of excitement around for it beofre hand.
Then TLJ happened and all those silly "The Force is female" t-shirts worn by Kathleen Kennedy and there was a minor backlash. I think people are judging the film more on it's own merits, and less on the politics and the firing of the directors now.
Would love to see the original cut, they had nearly finished the film when KK fired them.

I don't remember that stuff, obviously the director change and all the talk about an acting coach coming on for Han
I really liked the story, even has a set up at the end...he just wasn't believable as the loveably rouge, voice like a gravel road Han solo

Solo suffered by having a pretty shite bad guy. I wanted an Alien, not Jennifer Connollys hubby with red lines on him.

@MN5 I think he have been seen as not bad if the teaser at the end had turned into a sequel, Crimson Dawn with Maul and the different alien crime families...that would have been cool

Yeah but they way they shoehorned Maul in seemed rushed.
It had some cool action scenes, the kessel run and the train bit were decent.
-
@MN5 it was just a teaser, I thought it made a lot of sense after watching Mauls arc in Clone Wars...how he gets to where we see him in Rebels is also a cool story
He's one of the most fleshed out characters in start wars, if it was marvel making these we'd get a Maul movie going from the end of Cloe Wars to the start of Rebels and we'd see that scene from his perspective
-
-
@MN5 it is 100% canon, its in Rebels...great scene because Maul is trying to use the same move that killed Qui Gon but obi won is ready and dispatches him easily

Definitely, over in seconds.....and extremely poignant.....Obi Wan was Mauls unbeatable nemesis just like Dooku was for Kenobi himself.

@MN5 just looked it up, shit its a good scene, forgot he also goes through the different guards, the famous McGregor one and then the ones used by alec guinness and he only lights his saber when maul guesses he's there protecting someone

A cartoon, but arguably better than any scene in the sequel trilogy.
Obi Wan is such a brilliant character, his rumoured show will be compulsory viewing, I hope it comes to pass.
-
@MN5 I think its confirmed
I heard it was going to be a mini series rather than a ongoing series, so like 5-6 episodes and that's it

Cool that’ll do it. I hope Mando doesn’t go too long and get stale.
