Not sure how to feel about this one honestly. Could go either way for me.
I really doubt Luke is coming back. Then again, I doubted Luke would show up at all.
I’m really hoping we get more answers about what Gideon was trying to do with Grogu’s blood. Execution aside, I don’t really know how to feel about Grogu going off with Luke. Like is that it? No more Grogu? Is that story arc completely wrapped, or is he coming back? If that’s really the end, that really feels…underwhelming.
I also feel underwhelmed, and for the exact same reasons.
This was a fun episode until the Rogue One garbage arrived, complete with needless lightsaber drooling and dead eye CGI de-aging. I guess they never really learned anything.
My thoughts exactly.
Marvel and DC are both entering multiverse territory now, so I wouldn’t put it passed Star Wars to eventually do the same. I hope it doesn’t happen, though.
So I’m not gonna lie… I have mixed feelings about THAT PERSON coming into the picture. But I’ll wait to see how future seasons play out before judging.
Selling to Disney was the best thing that could have happened for Star Wars. I wish they purchased it sooner.
I agree.
Wonderful episode! I love how Boba’s new paint job is a nod to the early 80s marvel comics. 10/10!
Why do I have a feeling this will involve Darth Plagueis and “The Acolytes of the Beyond” leading into the history of who they are and how they end up worshipping Palpatine. I think Exegol and TROS references will be high in this one.
I think there was a report awhile back that they planned to do more with Exegol, in some shape or form, so I think you may be onto something there.
Would love to have Billy Dee narrating the “Calrissian Chronicles” version of events, while we see the messy reality with Donald Glover. Hopefully we see Ehrenreich’s Han and/or Qi’ra too; I could take or leave a full-blown Solo sequel, but I enjoyed the cast enough to think it would be a shame if we never saw those versions of these characters again.
Now that you mention it, The Calrissian Chronicles would’ve been a better title. Lando as a title sounds uninspired.
Wait, isn’t it during the original trilogy?!
“future era of the galaxy,” according to Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy.
Was this literal or talking about the new era of content?
See above.
How can it be after though… I don’t get it.
It’s about a new generation of the rogue squadron. Not the original generation.
I guess when most people talk about “Rebels sequel” they mean a follow-up to the closing seconds of the finale, that is, Ahsoka and Sabine teaming up to find Ezra (and possibly Thrawn).
Correct. My guess is that those story points will be covered in the Ahsoka show though. Not Rangers.
I said leading up to TRoS that during the climax Anakin’s voice was probably gonna say something to Rey along the lines of “you’re the new chosen one now.” Everyone yelled at me and called me an idiot, but then that actually happened (“bring back the balance, Rey, as I once did”). That was probably my biggest “called it” moment.
I’ve had other accurate predictions over the years though. I had been saying since 2002 that Episode III would be called RotS. I had said that the new Disney films would only divide the fandom more than even the PT did. I said that TFA would be too predictable and then TLJ would be too different and then TRoS would be too fan servicey… Those are the biggest ones that come to mind.
My guess is this is both the rumored Fett show as well as the rumored Cara and Bo show.
Hopefully this is a Solo sequel, of sorts!
I’m actually very excited for this one! I’ve always said that Star Wars works best when it’s for children, so hopefully this project in particular really embraces that angle.
This one has me VERY intrigued! Definitely one of the announcements from yesterday that excites me the most!
I feel weird about the show being called Obi-Wan instead of Ben…
Sounds promising!
When do you guys think this will take place? I’m thinking this is going to be during the galactic civil war.
It’s confirmed to be after TRoS.
I don’t mind Hayden Christensen at the end of ROTJ.
Phantom Menace has the best soundtrack of any SW movie.
The ST was doomed from the start.
Rogue One sucks.
I agree with pretty much all of this.
Seems interesting!
The PT & ST reflect each other perfectly — equally terrible in diametrically polar ways.
Is this really an unpopular opinion? Thought it was cannon…
From what I’ve seen, most fans love one trilogy, loathe the other, or enjoy both. Fans who dislike both trilogies seem to be in the minority.
I don’t think fans who dislike both trilogies are so rare, moreso that they end up picking one side or the other on the internet.
I find that fans like me, who like to point out the flaws of the OT (mainly ESB and RotJ) are even more in the minority.
EDIT: Meant to quote Duracell there. My bad.
I’ve already posted this elsewhere on this forum, but I guess I might as well share it again on this thread specifically cause it fits the topic at hand:
I recently wrote a four-part blog post explaining why I think ESB was really the movie where Star Wars “broke.”

Didn’t like the directing style of this episode. Apparently James Mangold was originally supposed to direct this one, but had to drop out at the last minute to focus on writing for Indiana Jones 5 (lol!). So Robert Rodriguez replaced him at the last minute, and it shows. Directing felt very haphazard. Writing was good tho! Still looking forward to the next episode.
