What was everyone's thoughts on this week's episode. For me it was the best one yet and has me hooked now. Very much looking forward to the rest.

Only 4 more episodes to go!

I have this feeling like we’ll get just a hint of Thrawn by the end, and that’ll set up for whatever is the next show and then whatever will be in the movies later on. I can totally see Ahsoka teaming up with Mando and Co to fight Thrawn in a movie.

Thrawn is 100% being setup as the “Thanos” of this universe. Mando S4 will almost certainly cross over with what we see at the end of Ashoka.

I’m guessing we don’t see Thrawn or Ezra until the end of the last episode to get people to watch S2 later on.

That’s been my guess with Ezra and Thrawn, too.

Ahsoka has to deal with Shin, Sabine, Baylon, and the witch in the next four episodes. That’s a lot. And she has the next episode to figure out how to even follow them.

And Chopper hasn’t even murdered anyone in cold blood.

There’s a lot to do!

Chopper definitely needs to commit some war crimes. So far he’s been really tame (with limited screen time)

There’s still a lot to cover, and I honestly think that’s the worst part of the 8 episode season that Disney has pushed. They’re too short to really show an extended narrative. You have time for 1 story, and anything aside from that feels like it’s wasting time.

I wouldn’t mind that premise. It would be great if the Thrawn trilogy could be adapted in some way to feature films or a multi-season show. I’d take some more Jedi master Luke scenes as well.

If they do that they need to bite the bullet and recast Luke. We all love Mark, but the CGI face swapping tech is just not there yet, and arguably shouldnt be used anyway.

[–] ahimsabjorn 2 points 1 year ago

I don’t disagree.

💯

We have Sebastian Stan over here looking like Luke already. Just cast the dude. Although he’s already in his 40s so maybe that’s not the best choice.
