<strong>Ahsoka</strong> (live action series) - general discussion thread

I’m enjoying the show so far and personally enjoying the connection to Rebels, but I keep finding myself asking the question of where do these people go between now and the sequel trilogy?

I think it was mentioned earlier by someone else, but where’s Ashoka and Ezra in those movies. The takeaway from those was that Luke is the only one left and there is no other Jedi’s left and he’s the only hope.

Where as the Ashoka show implies that there is at least 3 other Jedi if you count Sabine. What becomes of them not to show up in the sequel trilogies.

Connecting all of this is what I’m most intrigued by and maybe we come to learn that through either this, The Mandolorian or the BoBF.

What’s very funny is that all of these problems also apply to these same characters being present during the original trilogy.

On the other hand, it’s not universe shrinkage

Who is the greatest Jedi of all time? (Dave Filoni says it is Anakin Skywalker. Is he?)
Time

Overcoming years of (deserved) repressed guilt, a terrible upbringing, years of service to an abusive master, etc etc in order to save a loved one and thereby killing the Sith Lord who had masterminded a galactic war and subsequently held the galaxy under his power is undeniably great. You can’t measure Anakin without taking the end of ROTJ into consideration.

But anyway, discovering how to be one with the Force after death such that somehow you can manifest as an individual ghost is a pretty big deal so maybe it should be Qui-Gon.

Return of the Jedi Revisited has been halted according to one of he’s recent updates, a New Hope revisited is he’s to be completed and released before he moves back onto Jedi.

There hasn’t been an update in five months. I wonder how he’s doing.

He’s posted on these forums over the summer, just no big update. I’m sure there’ll be an update when he’s ready

Why Did Return Of The Pug (Puggo’s 16mm Preservation of Return Of The Jedi) get taken down?
Time

I mean it was a free, publicly available copy of a copyrighted work. That’s illegal.

Yeah, that’s a good answer. But it was on Internet Archive though. My guess is that maybe Puggo took it down or it violated Community Guidelines.

Or Disney finally told the IA to take it down. Or the IA is upping their enforcement in light of their recent lawsuit issues.

Luckily those books aren’t even really canon

They are.

Oh shoot, he’s right

The end of Star Wars physical media

Hard to pirate without a source.

There is a lot of sources for Disney owned films, 4K, BD, DVD, VHS and film. If they never made any physical releases ever again, all of these sources become more attractive to collectors and their prices would rise. Lets say, 50 or 100 years from now they haven’t released anything… can you imagine how much would e.g. classic Disney cartoons cost on the secondary market? Probably hundreds if not thousands of dollars per movie, all which they would lose. Even today there have been DVDs that command hundreds of dollars on the secondary market because they have not seen a re-release since.

All true, but irrelevant to non-collectors (ie most people)

But not to Disney when they could get some of that money by relesing their properties. Also one could argue that there are others than collectors who would like to own Disney classics in the future as well, that is normal families.

I feel like the fact that they’re stopping maybe indicates you’re overestimating the size of the collector market

<em><strong>ANDOR</strong></em> - Disney+ Series - A General Discussion Thread
Time

Z6PO said:

We don’t need another of those connections that offer nothing except shrinking the Star Wars universe even more.

Let people just be random people. Like it was originally in 1977. Luke being a nobody from nowhere is far more powerful than him being the lost son of space Goebbels.

She’s not even a nobody! She’s Mon Mothma’s cousin!

One vlogger I follow has a theory that Kleya is a former handmaiden of Padme’s.
And they revisited for filming season 2 a location that was part of Naboo in the PT.

It would be pretty weird for the queen of Naboo to have a Chanrillian handmaid, not to mention a strange and unnecessary connection to a dead character who has little to do with this storyline (yes, I know, Padme’s a part of the initial meetings that lead to the secret pact to combat the Emperor, but she then dies shortly thereafter)
