It seems likely that the new show will be about [redacted]. At first I was pretty disappointed by this, mainly because I want the new show to be about all new characters (and one of these existing ones I don’t care much for). But then I had the thought, what if this isn’t going to be the only new show? I’d be pretty okay with this concept if we had an additional animated show running alongside it.
By [redacted] do you mean Ezra?
By [redacted] I mean Sabine and Ashoka looking for Ezra. I’ve actually come to like both Sabine and Ezra (the former might be my favorite character on the show), but I’ve never really liked Ashoka. In fairness, that’s mostly in regard to TCW where I basically just found her to be annoying, she’s better in Rebels. But it’s still frustrating if the new show is about two existing characters looking for a third. Plus, it’d be nice if we could move a bit away from the Jedi stuff, which I liked well enough in both shows, though it feels like it’s time to move on to something else.
Still, the premise certainly presents interesting opportunities (it’s the perfect time period), such as perhaps finally exploring the “Unknown Regions” that have been mentioned a few times. Interesting to wonder too if the war is actually over at this point, they definitely suggested as much but there’s still room in there (like how they mentioned the defeat at Endor, but not Jakku).
Of course, nothing has been confirmed yet.
