Was increasingly excited for this series in a hopeful way but hearing it will explore the origins of the First Order really killed most of that excitement and I’m just clinging to hope that maybe it’s just one episode that delves into it with only the very occasional random reference here and there. If it’s part of the central story arc then this series is in the bin for me before it even started…
Given this series was conceived and written by Favreau I very much doubt the birth of the FO plays any big part. He’s all about the OT era. Mentions and minor threads tying to the FO I would peg as contributions by Dave to try to help tie things together.
