Looking forward to Fett. Bob was always my favourite toy.
What happened with the Mandalorian though? Covid or are they still trying to get Gina Corano back?
Last I heard Gina is back so fuck you cancel culture.
I just think Mando will have a break for a season or two while these others shows get up and running, truth be told though where it ended was pretty satisfactory for me. There’s only so much Bounty Hunting a guy can do and still keep it compelling for the viewers.
The Baby Yoda arc ended but then you have the new story of him being in possession of the black lights lightsaber and red haired chick needing to get it through combat. But yeah, maybe it has run it's course .

I'm very meh about the Andor series. A decidedly mediocre character who is dead and I couldn't give a crap about his back story. I suppose that robot was cool but not worth watching for.
-
im not over worried about the character himself, as you say...he dead, but im intrigued with yet another genre (spy/espionage) and potentially see more of Coruscant or at least the inner planets
it is one thing that...not annoys me but i do notice....we always end up on these outer rim planets...more often that not tatooine

I do hear you but refer to my previous post. My boys and I discussed this and perhaps a lead character with no particularly amazing abilities ( seriously, Han and Lando had wits and charm to go with scrapping ability, this guy has nothing ) MIGHT make for a compelling show. We’ll see.
Mando and anyone who hangs with him can make mincemeat out of hordes of troopers ( seriously, how many did he, Fennic and Boba take out in the episode in which Grogu got kidnapped, over 50 surely ) but to Andor they would be more of a threat. Of course the issue there is that he ends up looking like a pussy.
@Kiwiwomble yeah Tattooine has been done to death and it’s about to be thrashed again with the Fett and Obi Wan shows.

but thats what im hoping to see, less taking down hoards of troopers, we have a couple of series where we can expect that, im hoping Andor has some heist aspects too it, escaping from behind "enemy lines", jail breaks and sabotage

There is potential there, but I just don't like him. Zero charisma and physically unimposing to a ridiculous degree. Maybe there is something there but building a series around this guy seems odd to me. Did anyone who watched R1 want to find out more about him?

@rancid-schnitzel i thought his character was actually reasonably popular (disney obviously did), definitely dont remember the hate other characters have got, i don't DISlike him, i found the aspect of his character where he's been fighting the empire since a little kid, resenting these people that come at the last minute as posers kind of cool

Tbh Disney don't know their arse from their elbow. I'm not sure what you mean by hate the other characters got. Unlike the dross offered up by the sequels I thought it was a really good and interesting group of characters. I even liked the Samurai dude. The green Akbar was cool. As too was that pilot with the mo. Trouble is they killed them all off and the 2 leads were a bit meh. But shit I'll give it a watch. Mando gave them something of a blueprint so let's hope they stick to it!

@rancid-schnitzel i think Disney have very much proven they do know what their doing in regards to the TV universe, my understanding is Feloni is overseeing or at least a a producer on all the shows
I only mention the hate that other character have got (jar jar, rose, finn etc) because you said you didn't like him and asked the question "Did anyone who watched R1 want to find out more about him?"...and i thought yes, i think some people did and that he at least was not on the list of "never want to hear about him again" characters as far as i know

To be fair, we've seen one TV series so far.
I never said I hated him and would never place him in the same league as Jar Jar or Rose. Or Locksmith Gimp. I just don't think there is much interest or excitement regarding him. A meh character so to speak. I feel that with such a ridiculously vast array of characters and storys to choose from, it's kind of underwhelming to base a series around a guy who's story has really already been told. But well see...A bit of Googling tells me that Rogue Squadron has been removed from the production schedule. That's one I was looking forward to so rather pissed off. They just can't seen to get the film thing right.

@rancid-schnitzel i think it might just be not for you, as i say i think he was actually reasonably popular and dont remember much surprise when it was announced
hadn't heard about rogue squadron, had a google and it looks like a delay till 2023 with filming planned for 2022 so fingers crossed
Patty Jenkins ‘Star Wars’ Movie ‘Rogue Squadron’ Delayed (Exclusive)
The first 'Star Wars' feature since 2019's 'Rise of Skywalker' was to have gone into production next year.

Probably waiting to see if she can redeem herself after that terrible Wonder Woman movie.

@crucial did she write that too? not a fan of the story in general, really liked most of the first one though

She didn't write the good one. Although she did write and direct Monster, so hopefully she's learned from the last one. So terrible.

Now you mention it, no. He was just a bloke who succeeded in his mission with a shitload of help from others then they all died.
We had a whole ( admittedly awesome ) movie about it. Probably no need to delve further. Like I said, I’ll still watch and hope for the best though.

You forgot Holdo.
Laura Dern in full Karen mode with purple hair. It looks fucked up and extremely offensive to us fans when it’s written down, I can’t believe it actually made it on to the big screen in a STAR WARS movie no less.

The sequels are absolute trash. A total abomination. I hope and pray they will retcon them one beautiful day.
