I find it a little disappointing how the 3 main series in the Mandoverse: The Mandalorian, Book Of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka (as well as any ideas and outlines from cancelled ‘Rangers Of The Republic’ series, and maybe even the new ‘Skeleton Crew’ series), are going to essentially be a rehabilitation project for the Sequel Trilogy?

Maybe even The Bad Batch too with the cloning stories there, and also possible nods and references to events and characters from The Clone Wars, Rebels, and even Resistance too.

Or taking story aspects, events, and characters from the EU and making them canon once again (often without mentioning or crediting the original EU author or source).

That the setting of the galaxy for the Sequel Trilogy was so poorly explained, and the underwhelming finale of it, including the last minute introduction of “the big bad” in TROS, now requires some kind of fixing or addressing by these Disney+ era shows? Similar to how to Clone Wars, The Clone Wars and Rebels sought to fix, or at least try to, lessen the damage of the poorly executed and jarring Prequel Trilogy films.

I think Dave Filoni has a lot on his hands to make this succeed. It will take something special for both the average movie-goer to understand, follow and enjoy: as well as satisfying everyone who has watched some of the various series in this Mandoverse so far. It should also be interesting to see if the once-planned “climactic story event” is part of this film, or will be in the one or more of the Disney+ series, as a way to introduce this “New Republic” film?

Good luck to him.
 

^ the very idea of this has a lot to answer for. In more ways than we could have possibly imagined!
