I think we can paint a clear picture with the new Star Wars content on Disney+, and their goal to connect the canon between time periods. Here is how I think the new shows will play out.
The High Republic: (Pre-Episode I)
- The Acolyte - A show based upon the formation of “The Acolytes of the Beyond” from the Aftermath books. Darth Plagueis will feature and there will be a young Palpatine. This show will be used to tie-in to the Sith Eternal from The Rise of Skywalker.
The Dark Times: (Between Episodes III-IV)
-
The Bad Batch - Commander Cody will play a role in the show. The show will reveal the aftermath of the clones post Order 66 and set up Cody hunting for Obi-Wan and the Bad Batch being tasked with silencing enemies of the Empire.
-
Obi-Wan Kenobi - Commander Cody will be the big bad. The show will revolve around Obi-Wan trying to contact remaining Jedi and making too much noise in the process, drawing the attention of Cody and Darth Vader. Obi-Wan will “die” at the end and Ben will be born.
-
Lando - Used to show a history of Lando and act as a sequel to Solo.
-
Andor - Used to show a history of Cassian and act as a prequel to Rogue One.
The New Republic: (Between Episodes VI-VII)
-
Rangers of the New Republic - This show will be used to expand the timeline between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Expect to see cameos from “de-aged” OT characters. The show will culminate with the New Republic discovering the plans of the First Order and Leia organizing the Resistance.
-
Ashoka - This will act as a prequel show to the rumored sequel series to Rebels. I feel this will show what Ashoka was up to BEFORE she meets up with Sabine in the epilogue of Rebels. It was hinted by Dave Filoni that her appearance in The Mandalorian takes place before the end of Rebels, and if this show takes place in The Mandalorian timeline…
A New Beginning: (After Episode IX)
-
Rogue Squadron - Will introduce the state of the galaxy post The Rise of Skywalker, potentially being a launching pad for post The Rise of Skywalker content.
-
A Droid Show - Used to right the wrongs of the sequel trilogy and give us a lot more C-3PO and R2-D2. Droids from various time periods will cameo.
