Awesome! I just hope it's not overload between Mandalorian, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Cassian Andor.

Sounds like Season 3 of The Mandalorian will be filming pretty much straight after this, so expect that in early 2022. Probably a December / January release for Boba and then February / March for Mando. The Book of Boba Fett is what was meant by the next chapter coming Christmas 2021 at the Disney Investor Day, which is why I speculated that it’d be an original film / limited series early December before Mando at Christmas.
Looking forward to it! I think the most interesting news announced is that Robert Rodriguez is executive producing, which might be a hint towards him helming the show. I don’t think / can’t see Favreau & Filoni’s names being on the scripting and directors side, but they’ll obviously be crafting the overall story beats in order to link in with the other shows, with Mando leading.
I’m very pleased for Temura & Ming-Na; they both seem lovely people.
Here’s hoping the Slave I might get a lick of paint to match Boba’s new armour!

Ahsoka, Rangers & Boba are event series that will be crossing over into Mandalorian, so have a finite end. Obi-Wan is a limited series and that slot will presumably be taken by Lando, Acolyte, etc. in future years. I think it’s only Cassian outside of The Mandalorian that has the idea to run beyond a handful of episodes or a season. It’s a bit different than cinema releases too with streaming; there’s always anticipation for the next thing. As long as they vary the order the shows are launching in, that’ll keep it nice and fresh. I doubt there’ll be any overlap in releases either.

In news that will surprise nobody, Dave Filoni is writing Ahsoka: collider.com/jon-favreau-rangers-of-the-new-republic-ahsoka-news/The news, whilst inevitable, doesn’t excite me as I think his live action efforts are stilted and exposition heavy. Perfectly suited for animation and the way it works, but not so much live action. I remain optimistic, however, and can’t dent he’s the one with a good handle on Ahsoka. Not that I would be against someone else having a go either. I can’t really comment on the other Favreau comments in the article, as I don’t think there are enough quotes to go on. Some are saying Rangers is set immediately after Return of the Jedi, but I think he’s just reiterating that it’s part of the timeline with Mando, Boba & Ahsoka, which is post-ROTJ. Continuing the story with “some of those characters” from ROTJ is intriguing, though.

They really should just go "sod it" & create an alternate timeline ignoring the new movies. The problem with Luke going off with Grogu is that we know it will go nowhere.

They’re not going to, so I don’t really think it’s something worth discussing. And for what it’s worth, Dave Filoni did a great deal of work on the sequel trilogy, establishing the starting points for the OT characters (Luke is pretty much identical to George Lucas’s planned sequel trilogy), working closely with Rian Johnson on The Last Jedi and doing script work on that (along with Carrie Fisher) and consulted on storywriting of The Rise of Skywalker. Essentially he and Favreau aren’t opposed to the vision / direction of the trilogy and have already began to hint towards it in The Mandalorian. Their direction is done with the later events in mind. I don’t think the fate of Luke’s Jedi temple indicates anything to do with Grogu. It’s a big galaxy and Grogu by the time of the sequel trilogy will still be a child, given the ageing of his species; he’s 50 in The Mandalorian. Personally I don’t think he will stick with Luke for very long because he doesn’t want to be trained. He’ll make his way back to Din having learned to use / refine his Force powers a bit more. His destiny isn’t to be a Jedi.

Would be a nice touch if Grogu ends up getting some of the foundling reserve from Din's past couple of “upgrades”, or something similar happens if he comes across any future Beskar.

But if he does return to Mando for me it would make the finale of season 2 nothing more than a bit of fan service. Mando's role seemed to be to get Grogu to safety, life with him isn't the best for Grogu. He's done that now. Personally not sure where the character can go in season 3. I'm more interested now in the other shows.

I'm more interested now in the other shows. Well, it’s all fan service regardless, isn’t it? It was good fun, but Luke’s appearance was just a rehash of the Vader scene in Rogue One (which, in turn, was rehashed in Siege of Mandalore) with some generic dialogue. I don’t think his return necessarily reduces the finale; it depends on what happens between the finale and Grogu’s potential return. If he’s had a bit of training and can start to hold his own a bit, then I think that’s fine. It’s an interesting one actually, given how little we know about Yoda & Grogu’s species. I wonder when he’d have been at age to begin his training as a Youngling and then become a Padawan? As far as I’m aware, we only know that he was a Youngling rescued from the Jedi temple and he’s now 50, but still very much a baby! As for where does Mando go from here? I thought it was pretty explicit in the show; he’ll be getting involved with taking back Mandalore, especially now he’s the true owner of the Darksaber.

Yeah probably, I'm not well versed in all the dark saber lore but if he goes on to becoming the leader of the mandalores dunno if that's very interesting to me. I think what I really like about the show is how it is all on the sidelines of the star wars universe rather than big epic stories.

Awesome! I just hope it's not overload between Mandalorian, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Cassian Andor. Nah, I think they all exist in their own narrative bubbles, two are pre-ANH after all. Mando and Ashoka are bound to crossover eventually because of the ongoing plot of the resurgent Empire/coming New Order, but Ashoka looks like she’s going out into the Unknown Regions and Mando’s sticking to the Rim.

i just finished the season. i got the same feeling for this show as i did while watching Into The Spiderverse, this was a labor of love for someone. it so damn good. we gotboba ribbing stormtrooper apart. we got ashoka just looking amazing and rosario daweson knocking it out of the park. more bill burr. and that season finale i was so happy i feel like i got you know who back. i cant stop watching reaction videos on youtube. they are joyous that the only way to describe it. i want more. i want more boba and fennic being space gangsters. i want more bo and hoska. i WANT more ashoka. i want more cara dun. and i am really interested what will mando do. he basically excommunicated himself. thats got to leave him very very confused about himself and what he is now. this is my favorite reaction video needless to say but spoilers www.youtube.com/watch?v=QedbgpBe6kg&t=117sjust a vid of nomie mom smoking a cigarette and watching the finale i love this vid www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfs6bsdSVzk&list=FLdufe9rWgce-5pNTmqRXA7w&index=1&t=125s

I don't think it's a major loss. Definitely not a sad loss, given the things Carano advocated.
I don't get the impression this has been a recent thing and it's not an outright sacking, rather Lucasfilm have no intentions to work with Gina, and therefore use Cara Dune, again. They probably made the decision last year after Mando S2 had wrapped filming and Carano's posts / tweets really kicked in. It's interesting that there was no mention of who would star in Rangers of the New Republic at the Investors Day. I'm not saying Carano would have lead the show, but if there were plans for Cara Dune to have been in the show, I think they'd have mentioned it.
In hindsight, it's a shame the character wasn't killed off in the S2 finale. It would've added a bit more weight to the threat the characters faced and her story had really come full circle earlier on anyway. I think her appearances would've become increasingly fewer as the show changes direction / hits the reset button, so-to-speak.

I think Campea puts the Carano situation into perfect words:
Free speech, in no permutation, translates to 'immunity from criticism'.

Well looks like Disney destroyed any good will for Star Wars fans Unless some other news dropped that I missed, I assume you're referring to Carano. In which case, the show is bigger than her and will go on fine without her.
(If we need a reminder of how much power the hardcores really have - the Prequels still made gobs of money, despite being the Prequels).
